I don’t quite know why I didn’t realize I’d have to individually unwrap these and it’d be a pain in the ass, but there’s no going back now. Blue razz jolly rancher distillate soon. I’ve also got my sweet potato beer fermenting (it’s supposed to be pumpkin and sweet potato but the pumpkin I bought was rotting on the inside, so I just rolled with what I have). I also ended up making 80 dog treats from some of the spent grains from the beer, if pupper is happy I’m happy. Over all I think I’m coming back from my one year brewing break with a vengeance.

I am aware of the toxicity of hops when it comes to dogs (hours pitting up a fence around my hop plant will confirm lol), but I also appreciate the heads up and it’s always good to have the info out there for those stumbling across it! That being said, I only use the grains from the mashing process, well before hops have come into contact with the wort. Thanks for putting the info out for others who may not know and keeping all the boopable snoots safe though :)
