Here we see the formerly muddy pale ale with a layer of whole-leaf cascade hops (1 oz.). A couple days later, I also added a half ounce of American oak chips. Yea, I know I’m just masking the flaws, but some of the best recipes in the world have been stumbled upon in this way. Not that I hold out such high hopes for my own brew, I just want to make sure it’s drinkable, which it wouldn’t have been otherwise, unless you like the flavor of wet dog. Hey, I’m not judging. What you do with your wet dog is your business.
