Bumma

Dumped both the Saisons #64 and #66.
64 was kegged and 66 was in a carboy. Both were too chloriney, so they're in the sink. Don't tell the Xavier kids down the street, lest they start sopping up the suds.

Mosquito Hopyard Harvest #4

Pulled about 6.5 oz of wet hops off the Cascade bines on Wednesday.
Dried down to 1.5 oz of fresh, although somewhat browning, Cascades. Mm.
Total of 7.5 oz dry for the season.
Man just under a half pound?!
Maybe I lose the spalt - put it in a pot somewhere? - and split the cascade rootball next spring.
