Sad that Katherine Addison/The Grief of Stones didn't win. That book was incredible in my opinion.

What about Dennis Hauger? Does he have a superlicense yet?

Ja, tror dette har litt å si. Kan være en idé å lage et innlegg her når avstemningene skjer slik at noen flere får det med seg.

It seems to be working out for Toto Wolff at least!

Oh, that's a very good point, I forgot about that.

According to Mitch Steele's book, Ruination was dry hopped at a rate of 3.86g/L, which seems like absolutely nothing by today's standards... but Ruination is Ruination! I have been progressively lowering the hopping rates on my west coast IPAs with success, so it's worth at least a test batch to try it out. Not only does it get you a clearer beer, but IMO the beers actually taste more like classic WCIPAs.

A lot of people swear by gelatine, but I'm assuming you've tried that and had about as much success as I have (not much). Apart from cold and time as another user mentioned, have you considered just dry hopping less? Back in the heyday of crystal clear West Coast IPAs those hopping rates would have been considered crazy, even though they're mediocre these days.

If that's his best option, he might want to keep his mouth shut 😬

Maybe they just legitimately think it's a good investment? I probably wouldn't, but neither am I rich 😂
