Guys, Gals, Blokes,
Last year, when browsing Google Books I came across a number of old German books that contained a surprisingly detailed description of the brewing process and I was fascinated reading about how they brewed beer in the latter half if the 19th century and what they knew about it and what they didn't. Earlier that year I also visited Germany and took a number of pictures in two brewing museums in Bavaria.
I then realized that a commented translation of excerpts from one of the books augmented with these pictures and various diagrams and tables from other book would make a great article for braukaiser.com. After working on it for a few weeks I'm finally done:
German Brewing between 1850 and 1900
