15 minutes into a 90 minute boil for the Flying Dog brew kit. The hot break was like thick cream. I had a little trouble with the mash, getting an extra 1.5 gallons. Details on that later.

My step-son wrote the script for a film that is going to be in the Cannes Film Festival. It was a local DC 48 hour film festival submission. Here it is. The guy that filmed it is one of my beer brewing friends. He uses honey in every beer he brews.
