The Haze Complex
Malt, yeast and hops all have important roles to play in different, cumulative sources of haze. Leaning on haze that forms in one way rather than another could make your beercraft significantly easier. It matters where the haze is coming from if you want to control it.

Hurry up and Wait: Blackbird Does Craft Fast and Slow
Releasing multiple beers a week is exciting, rewarding (and awarding), but breakneck. Trialing new yeast strains, even when they help enable vision, or perfect finish or process, can also mean more changes downstream. That’s why Ian and Harmony of Blackbird tend to wait for their moment; but they’re used to patience, too.Cheers -

How Does ALDC Stop Diacetyl from Forming?
When yeast leaves some of its discarded things around, it tends to pick up after itself (well, with a little encouragement). Then again, sometimes it just has too much on its plate. That’s where ALDC comes in. ALDC is like the Marie Kondo of diacetyl. It gets rid of what will later become a mess before it even starts. And it can be even more effective when yeast are enabled to produce it.Cheers -
