@25909bc3 hopefully, with the addition of fresh cashmere hops while fermenting, part of the batch will be even better than normal.

last year was not a good year for the tree, this year has bounced back nicely. 

 @9435b4b7 apparently the gravenstein is more or less biennial: it often, but not always, bears fruit every other year. Which made me a lot better about my tree.
