A customer wanted me to measure out "enough Magnum for 200 IBUs". I called him and asked him what he meant and he said that the magnum is the bittering hop for all his 5 gallon batches. He needs 15 IBUs here, 30 IBUs there, ect. When he adds all his IBUs up from across his batches it is around 200. So he needes the amount that will satisfy that. So can anyone think of a way to calculate that amount? I know it will change by pre-boil gravity and such but Im looking for a ballpark equation.
Falcons,
I just wanted to send a note out to thank you again for ALL the wonderful gifts you brought to the meeting today for our 9th Annual Toy Drive. I am overwhelmed each time by your generosity in bringing so much for the kids. Such a great selection of gifts for youth of all ages. I am humbled and so proud of our club. What wonderful hearts you all have. The Fire Department sends a big thank you to everyone. If you want to give more, you can drop off more gifts at any Fire Department. We will post pics on the Falcon Facebook page of the toy drop off!
Hi guys! I'm new to the Los Angeles area and I recently joined the club. I look forward to meeting all of you. I have a blog I write that I call Flood Pants Brewing. I recently wrote about my experience brewing a Saison for a large seated dinner in Rome, Italy. Read and enjoy.

President's Report - November, 2017 By Cullen Davis, Maltose Falcons Board President
I honestly don’t mind doing President duty for the Falcons. It’s a relatively low-stress job, mostly just prodding people into doing what they said they would, trying to keep the club on the right path. Soreheads are thankfully rare when there is good beer to be shared. The benefits are decent too, the club buys beer for the board and we get to hang out and shoot the shiz on an extra day every month.
HummingBrew.com is my blog for sharing knowledge about beer and brewing. You will also find a link to my Vivino.com wine reviews. I hope you find the blog helpful -- cheers!

For a beer enthusiast like me, there's nothing better than a rip-roaring beer festival featuring lots of different beers to taste. The 2016 L.A. Beer Week Kickoff Festival, organized by the Los Angeles Brewers Guild and held at the L.A. Center Studios on June 18, certainly qualifies as that kind of “holy grail” for me – and after all, the grail in some references is a drinking vessel. Since I rode the rails in the form of the MTA's light-rail Expo line to get there, you can see how my title for this article came about.
It is now Sunday afternoon. Home again after a wonderful weekend spent at the SCHF, enjoying beer at not only the Fest, but also John K's event and of course, the mighty Dead Palate's Soiree.
But best of all was being surrounded by fellow Falcons. Whether serving beer at all our taps (38 at one point), or going from club to club to try their wares, or dancing to the Mighty Maltose Falcons Brews band, our members rock.
The Neighborhood Brewery By Bruce L. Brode I've been a homebrewer for more than 30 years. In that time, I have seen a revolution in beer continuing in many areas and ways, most recently in the area of craft breweries opening in the Los Angeles area. There were previous efforts – in the mid-1980s I remember the City of Angels brewpub in Santa Monica in the space long since occupied by Border Grill, which was funded by those who had made some good bucks in the “go-go” days of the stock market of the early-to-mid 1980s employed at the defunct Drexel Burnham Lambert investment house.
