Agreed. Even "American" lager yeast, like Wyeast 2007 is German originating. I want to do my usual Mexican lagers with 34/70 soon. I...

You guys are funny. And some great stories being told! I'm enjoying it. But I kind of agree...Americans, I don't think, have a better...

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. We kind of hijacked this thread and should've been talking about all this in the Beer Vacation to Germany...

Yeah, you'll be alright. I've recently fermented it under pressure in the 20+ PSI range and it ferments just fine with FGs of 1.008-1.010.

So over 6 years have passed since your stated opinion that the US is at the top of the craft beer world. I think a lot of people would...

I've pretty much revoked my "craft beer lover's" card. There's way too much of it out there and way too much of it SUCKS. I seriously...

Agreed. I fermented a hefe under pressure in the keg last year and ended up with an undrinkable sulfur bomb. One downside to pressure...

Can you taste it in your beer? Can you tell when the beer is changing or just getting more refined in flavor? Is your beer sitting in...

I get this sometimes too, particularly when I'm going back and forth about doing a half batch or a 5 gallon batch. I also think to...
