Good point, I just could have added a link the first time: Gutes Bier selbst brauen, ISBN 9783835415560 The author is also hosting the page netbeer.org, but there is not much happening for years. And it looks, as only parts of the page were translated into English. (As I wrote in my HBT...

Unfortunately I only could find it in German, but my way into homebrewing was "Gutes Bier selbst brauen" by Hubert Hanghofer, chemical engineer and beer sommelier. It contains good explanations for theory and practice, like really how to build your own basic setup for all grain brewing. And...

It was quite a busy week for me so I didn't find the time to report on my beer-related actions, but here I am: First of all: I bottled 1.25 gal of Münchener Hell v1, brewed using two mash process. For the first time I harvested the yeast from a batch - let's see how this turns out. I spare you...

Welcome from Germany to the Craft Beer Capital of the World in the land of the long white cloud! 😁

1.25 gal Münchener Hell (Ha'Psch-Clone) v1 with decoction, two mash process 1009 +1.25 --------- 1010.25

Cleaning day: 20 bottles at once at 75°C with my selfmade dishwasher insert. The closures for the swing top bottles are in the cuttlery drawer, also top clean. Never had issues with infections (knock on wood). And there was also some space for my breakfast porridge bowl. With recently emptied...

Göta Canal, Sweden?

The last days I had in my mind to resurrect my "utility muffin beer research kitchen". That gives me the opportunity to do 5l batches instead of 30l. With the things I learned from reading the HBT over the last few weeks, I had the urge to pull this setup out of the archives and worked a bit on...

Try some Bavarian Weizen with that null run: don't waste your time and the energy! Weizen is really forgiving in any step (maybe except for lautering, if you totally destroyed the husks). Do you grind yourself or do you get your malt grained? For the Weizen: just keep an eye on the OG, if it's...

The first two things that came into my mind were: Nice or Monaco, because of the lookout to the left ... so... I go with Nice Yacht Harbour, Cote d'Azur, France.

Have you thought about using hops in the first wort (not sure, if this is the correct translation for "Vorderwürze") instead of adding while boiling - you might also get more falvours for the nose from that. The cinnook and the cascade seem a good source of plenty of flavours. So I'd think about...

That's it! Seems like this was too easy ... Of course, when I was there, it was cloudy a few days in a row ...

Bridges! Bridges! Bridges!!! so ... let's stay with this famous fishbone-bridge:

The "Teufelsbrücke" (Devils Bridge) in Germany - thb, I'm not sure where exactly, I think it was Saxony. It's a totally artificial construct, the basalt columns are not remotely of natural origin there. Same for the basalt "spikes" in the backgroung The bridge was some kind of Insta-spot, until...

850.25 gal + 5 gal California Common-ish, dry hopped with Nectaron + 1.25 gal California Common-ish with ginger = 856.5 gal

Yeaaaah...no! The little bit of prescription medication that comes out of it is not worth the fun for the spinal infusions... But the whole topic sounds interesting. I'm siphoning the hot wort right after whirlpooling with a ring-shaped hop filter, spearating it from the trub cone, and...

Here's the promised update on my Munich Dunkel, that I made six weeks ago, bottled four weeks ago. I tased the first bottle yesterevening and I'm very happy with the result. It really is a very traditional style dark lager, compared to what I know from the breweries around. There's a hint of...

I've not watched a single one of these more than half an hour... neither have I read the books. But the bridge is in the media again .. wasn't it recently closed due to repair works?

hmmm... for the Glenfinnan Viaduct in Scotland it's not curvy enough... is it?

And we have a winner! Tonga wasn't really on my map, while travelling New Zealand, but then I had the very spontanious opportunity to visit this islandish paradise and have a "few days off" on the beach in a hammock, with some good books and a cold beer in the evening. Never thought that I...
