Hopefully a Berliner Weiße, split half with Hibiscus and half with raspberry, using a kveik Voss yeast. First time trying the Kveik yeast, going to ferment at 70 & 85 degrees.

Andreas, danke für dein kostenloses Buch! When I was younger, I spent a few years studying and drinking in Austria & Germany, so I am eager to read this book. Sadly my favorite beer, an Austrian Marzen/German Helles from Augustiner Bräu - Kloster Mülln of Salzburg is not in the book. Dean

I personally have had great luck soaking with Oxyclean Versatile Stain Remover(Chlorine-free,No dyes or perfumes), a light scrub, then rinse well(3 to 4 times). Dean

I just finished lagering a Austrian Märzen, now bottled. I am going to try to bottle lager a German Märzen next week after carbonated. I thought about trying a warm fermented Vienna and then bottle lager. Dean

One definition I was able to find, but not hops specific: "Rows are typically laid out on eight or nine foot centers between rows in rows of six. A drive row or “heap row” of approximately 12 feet in width is left open after each sixth row to allow access for pest and disease management."...

Roundup, I am bit worried about drift and killing the hops. I think I might put a layer cardboard down and cover with mulch in the non planting areas. Thank you for the information. Dean

I plan on digging, tilling and planting 4 rhizomes in a 9' by 9' area, with a center pole with one crossbar, 2 rhizomes each side(one type) for 4 total. Then I plan on topping with mulch. X X -0- X X Do I need to control the weeds in the whole 9' by 9' planting area? How do you control the...

The beer turned out really good, though it took 2 months to clean up some weird taste it had. The information on the process, i received above worked like a charm. Improvement Notes: Used 3 oz of hibiscus, I will increase to 4 oz next time Use gelatin to clear up a bit more. Verify my OG...

I plan on the following process for lagers: Ferment in 40's/50's Diacetyl 5-7 days, in 60's Basic question is do I lager first or carbonate first? Which bottle lagering process option should I follow? option 1) Prime, bottle, allow to carbonate(60's) for 2-3 weeks Lager(30's) for 4 weeks...

I am going to try using lactose, which is not fermentable I am told.

As I read this cider forum, many people state that some ciders benefit from additional tannin and acid. I was wondering if I could use key lime zest and juice to accomplish both tannin and acid? I always have key limes on hand and I really like their flavor. If yes, how much per gallon? I...

Good idea, but currently I can only bottle, I do hope in the future to be able to keg. thank you, Dean

Add one more FAJC?, Any brown sugar? How about some key lemon juice for acid? What kind of tea and how much? Thanks, Dean

I have done a couple of 5 gallon cider batches using juice, sugar and Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne Yeast, but with mixed results. What I got was quite dry and low apple flavor. I would like to get more apple flavor and a little sweeter, not really looking for high alcohol content. I picked up a...

I ran across a spent grain flour banana bread recipe here. I might try making some spent grain flour and try this and other recipes with the flour. Dean

I have been looking for some Hallertau hop rhizomes as well. Dean
