On 40 tabs. One of which is just a gamefaqs walk-through?

Having 20 people going around the province is a little like having Baker Street Irregulars.
They're seeing Saaz come across routinely with Stone Fruit. Some of them are experienced tasters, so they're probably not wrong. Maybe people are zhuzhing the saaz to give it some zazz?

I don't know if I'd hit the propane for the decoction, but certainly for the boil. If you can get the temp up, it'll work nicely.

Student of mine actually came up with a unique observation.
It's Kokumi. The concentration of richness. 6th flavour. Applied it only to decocted beers in his tasting notes. You have the decoction. You just need the boil temp.

Kettle fires above 200 C and they have chains that whip around to prevent scorch. Can't fake production value, but if you like the condensed Maillard flavour, you might try direct flame.

He was a good guy. I sometimes got to talk history with him, and that was always a pleasure.

I think I might actually be saying that the media coverage didn't acknowledge the timeline of real world events.
Which is fair, I think.

Makes me feel great about teaching the England week of the beer styles class tonight.

What he does terrifically well here is convey a sense of place through the expansion of the town. You don't really get a sense of which buildings come along when or how they're situated next to each other until the climax.
Builds the universe the story happens in.

The Altman-ness of this is incredible. The conversation around the edges of the frame and the idea the characters exist in anything but a vacuum is pretty wonderful.
Also, the grime of a mining town.
