    Second this! I haven`t had the opportunity to test the beer but several testers have told that it is a really good beer, despite of the poor promising name...

    Re-hydrating Yeast

    Hey, one sachet of 11,5g dried yeast plus approx. 120 ml boiled water put on a magnetic lab stirrer. Rehydrating time: 1 hour. Works perfect! Greets Michael

    Oktoberfest Brisbane 2008

    Hi, mmhh, Oktoberfest without a typical Ofest beer??? This is really strange. And hey, believe me, Krombacher ist NOT a typical beer and for sure NOT a "genuine premium pilsener...". Sorry to say that but this is the truth! Greets Michael

    It Is Safe To Use Dry Yeast When...

    Hi, anybody here who has used the Safale T-58? It seems to be a very interesting yeast for a Belgian Abbay type beer. And how about the S-33, any comments on that one? Greets Michael

    My Munich Beers

    Hi, nice selection, really! My favorite would be the Paulaner but the dark version because this is much more tasty (rounded) and a bit more malty. It has not that slightly bitter aftertast than the pale version exhibits. Ever tried the Weihenstephaner dark? This is a malt explosion...

    Other Uses For Wyeast 2112?

    Hi, I have used this strain fermented at 16C and this turned out quite fruity even at such low Ale temps. To my opinion it is absolutely not comparable with lager yeasts (which I have used quite often). Additionally the Cali Lager produces high loads of Diacetyl but this disappears within 3...

    Lager Yeasts And Strain Character

    Hi-Ho, I absolutely second that experience! I have had best hop results by using the 2042 strain from Wyeast. Not any fruity touch, crisp, malty (but not too much) finish with accentuation on the hops. Great, it`s worth trying, Guys. Cheers Michael
