Wine bottles in California wine country after a wildfire.

I haven't seen refillable bottles for a long time, but I remember they were much heavier than other bottles. If I had to guess, refillable bottles were thicker and made to take the abuse of multiple fillings.

Did a robust porter yesterday. That makes four weekends in a row for brewing which is great, but I've found that more than four weeks in a row is too much. Taking a break for a little while.

To your original Q, you can add really dark stuff right at the end of the mash or steep dark stuff in the wort before the boil. That'll give you color and no flavor contributions. Dehusked Carafa III is my favorite for this trick.

Oh, I really like the Dorothy's New World Lager.

I didn't watch the show but I know Liz Phair and Material Issue covered the theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JvB5AL59fM

Big Ten is well-represented.

They're ALL that badass at Wisconsin.

Brewed up a stewbrew - mostly base malts and leftover Cascade plus fresh Cascade, so it'll probably turn out like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Then kegged my Altbier and got yeast going for the dunkelweizen I'll do next weekend.

Was planning on doing a stewbrew - I have an unknown mix of Briess 2-row, Briess Pale Ale and c40. I also have 3 oz of leftover Cascade. So I'm gonna get some more 2 row and more Cascade and just run with it. Was going to do it Sunday. FIL texted this afternoon and offered a ticket to the...

Ah. I was guessing rabbit and thinking "what's the big deal?"

Dumb question, I know but ... what is it?
