Another story about him. I brought him a Kolsch that I had brewed but it had a cloying taste to it. Although it was clean it just wasn't Kolsch. He tasted it and asked me if I used any Vienna or Carapils. I told him Carapils. That's the problem. You should use German Pilsner malt and maybe a little wheat but nothing else. The next batch I made, using his advise, was excellent. He was the Brewmaster at a local brewery and made amazing beers. Too bad the restaurant side put them out of business. He's also a BJCP instructor. Hey, it's not bragging if you can really do it!
