deadwolfbones: Pretty picturesque for a clear-cut.
deadwolfbones: Green tea saison left, un-tea'd saison right. Interesting results! Appears dry hopping with tea both increases head retention/quality (smaller, more tightly packed bubbles) and creates pretty intense haze. The more you know! ✨
deadwolfbones: Apologies for the crappy pic, but wow! I've never seen wort drop clear like this before. No idea why this particular batch did, either. (From yesterday's golden sour brew day.)
deadwolfbones: That's just beautiful.
deadwolfbones: Oh yeah, the other beer I bottled recently. Working title: Ben's Best Bitter. Was aiming for an ESB, but the boiloff sucked and I ended up with a 4.5% beer. I ain't even mad, though--it tastes great. Grainbill: Maris Otter, C45, and C75. All Willamette ho
deadwolfbones: Wow, I sincerely could not be happier with how my green tea saison came out. Made with pilsner malt, red wheat malt, Blaugies yeast, pekko and opal hops, and Vietnamese green tea I bought from the wonderful @_hale93 at @themarriedbeans in Da Lat. It's fru

deadwolfbones: So we had some truly epic Chinese food today, but before I get to that... dessert! This was crazy good: a salted egg custard soft serve cold brew coffee float at @bigsoftee. If you're in LA and enjoy things that taste good, you owe it to yourself to check

deadwolfbones: Brutal.
deadwolfbones: You have my attention...
deadwolfbones: My most recent hoppy beer... an APA w/ just centennial on the hot side, mosaic & hallertau blanc in the dry hop. Mix of leftover dry yeasts including S04, US-05, and Nottingham. Only weeks in the bottle, but properly carbed and tasting fine. 🍻
deadwolfbones: Chole bature at BAPS in Chino Hills. One of the better meals in a month or so of great meals, and it was in a cafeteria.
