Ok, i can see this having the possibility of this thread spinning out of control and making a debate out of nothing. All my question is/ was is that if its common practice for major brewing companies to buy the recipes of micro's. Nothing more or less.
Im sorry if my post is confusing.
Shady as in why Michigan Brewery closed. A lot of debt, not paying bills but making a lot of money. ( rumor) not as in Miller buying the recipes.
I dont know squat about brewing companies, or if this is just common practice. Thats why I'm asking
Michigan Brewery shut its doors a few months ago. I liked the place and beer, but I just heard that Miller bought up all the equipment and recipes ( maybe even Kid Rocks Bad Ass)..i don't know.
It was pretty shady on MB's part i think.
Anyway, can someone confirm this? My thoughts are this ...
Using a wheat was the first choice I thought of actually. I bought a couple of pounds of light dme for my yeast starters ( made my first starter for my last batch- NB head scratcher, a hefe ipa)
Now my head is spinning lol
I have been reading this all morning on and off. Thank you.
I may not want to boil cider for the full 60 or so minutes from what I'm reading. Or maybe use apple juice instead.
Thanks Revvy! I did some research on Graff and it does seem possible. I started this hobby because a friend of mine gave me some bourbon barrel porter and I was hooked because it was so different and delicious. So I have a lot of ideas to make something different and maybe a little bit out of...
