Saison w/ Brett B Brewday

Mostly more of the same, sans dandelion. But might as well stock up while the getting is good. And/or the yeast cake is waiting. I switched up the grain bill a bit, mostly to compare the residual flavors that were left over after the brett worked its magic, and upped the hopping rates, bringing it more in line with both 87 and 93, two versions of funked beers that were dee-licious. So we’ll see. Hope hope.

Monkeys brewing beer? That’s ridiculous!
