I've just brewed a dunkelweizen, and it's (hopefully) carbonating in the bottles now. I had a bit of a fuckup when I added the extract (pleb), but it didn't case any harm to the beer I think. I've got my wort cooling time down significantly, and I think that's reflected in the lack of stray flavors in the final product. Hopefully I will become a steadier hand with five or so more batches under my belt, then I'll move onto outdoor completely grain brewing. I think I'll try a Kolsch next as the risk of infection is very low, I might even use it as a base for a springtime radler to please my friends.

I had about $20 in a stainless steel pot, a whisk, and a ladle. You also need a sanitizing solution, very cheap. First brew ingredients set me back $30 or $40. If you buy a fermentation chamber it'll be $10 to $50 depending on what you get. It can be done for sub $100 for the first time if you're brewing two gallons at a time. Worth trying I'd say, you can just cover the pot the first time it'll only get a little funky.

The cherry blossom scent was legit, but the flavor was predictably mild. I didn't get much green tea flavor either, but I didn't let the glass warm up or anything. I'll take my time with the next can and see if the flavors are more noticeable. I mostly got typical HV tartness and sweetness. Light, sessionable, anytime brew.

Can anyone recommend a good saison or farmhouse ale? Never had one before but it sounds like something I'd enjoy.

[Anonymous No.12075576]

>>12075275
Well the classic one that largely inspired the modern revival of the style when Americans rediscovered it is the Belgian Saison Dupont. It was basically dead before the American craft beer boom, but now sells decently well, should be relatively easy to find regardless of what city you are in. Otherwise better suggestions would require to know what city you are it

I drink beer through a straw from a restaurant beverage cup when trying to be stealthy / respectful in a can release line share. It doesn't hurt the flavor as much as you might expect.

Its an interesting idea think to open 2nd city taprooms. Milwaukee has two opening this summer, Indeed, and Hacienda from up in Door County. As the number of breweries increases every year its going to be harder and harder to sell out of market so I wonder if this will work

Drinking mass-produced beer is rarely going to be good. Most of the popular brands in Germany aren't that good. If you want something nice, go for something from a microbrewery.

If you want a recommendation for a good local beer from a local, try Altbier (literally 'old style beer') from Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. Füchsen Alt, Schlüssel Alt or Uerige will do.
