@goldenroadbrew calls this Dortmunder style pale lager “Du Hast”. This #beer is dangerously drinkable!! I highly recommend it. . #craftbeer #lager #dortmunder #losangeles (at Golden Road Brewing) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFredvlyDN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oser7v44sbnn

Dry hopping the English Bitter. The things we do for love! (of beer) #homebrew #homebrewing #homebrew_feature

Highlights from today’s brewing of an English Bitter. Everything went pretty smoothly for a change. 😄 #homebrew_feature #homebrewing #homebrew

I don’t always do a double decoction mash, but when I do, it’s for a Czech Pilsner. 😄🍻 #homebrewing #homebrew_feature #homebrew

Testing if this butane burner could handle decoction boils. It’s doing well with 1.5 gallons H2O so I think it’ll do just fine. 😊 #homebrew_feature #homebrewing #homebrew #diyhomebrew

I put this together a few years ago and every time I use it grateful that I did! You can find these spray containers in the garden section and with the right connectors they’re perfect for flushing lines and tap handles with hot water, PBW, or sanitizer. #homebrew_feature #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewgadgets

A well-maintained keg is a happy keg. This one had a leak somewhere. Couldn't fit it, so I'm replacing all the bits. #homebrew_feature #homebrewing #homebrew

I brewed this blonde ale today and now I'm admiring its clarity. Is it wrong to love a beer before it's even beer?? ❤️🍻 #homebrew_feature #homebrewing #homebrew
