    Last I heard, yields were very low so while a cool attempt, it’s not clear it can ever compete with wheat. Interesting that they’ve managed to double the yield though I would wonder how the new strains match up before getting too excited.

          These are just locally to Portland I think. Hopworks brewery together with DogFish Head

          Ya Kernza has its issues: small harvest, grains ripen at different times and different sizes. But the main issue is wether people will buy it. If there’s a market, then problems will be overcome or overlooked.

            I would certainly be interested if it was available in my area but I haven’t seen anything about it in years until you posted this.
