    Brewing With Polenta

    hello brewers, Polenta brings you the same amount of starch as you get with pale malt. Im using Polenta and rice when I do my Corona clone and the yield is almost the same as Ive used pure Pilsener malt. Cheers :icon_cheers:

    Efficiency

    thats how the yanks are reckoning the efficiency, lead me always to some misunderstandings Just out of interest let me explain how we count efficiency. For us here in Germany, the statement: "It's based on the theoretical amount of sugar you can get from the grain" is far too theoretical...

    Step Mashing For Wheat Beers

    Pete, the list is already many years old, written by some German homebrewers, so no guarantee the breweries are still applying the same procedures. Actual very popular over here are the yeasties from Schneider and Maisels, with this you cant go wrong. Cheers mate :icon_cheers:

    Step Mashing For Wheat Beers

    Hello brewers, sorry for the effort, but in Schfferhofer is not the original yeast. Schfferhofer exchanges the yeast after fermentation has finished, into a pasteurized yeast to avoid autolysis. Beers with the original yeasts in the bottles are: applicative wheat beers are: Schneider-Weisse...

    First Stepped Mash Questions

    I guess, thats the result of unconverted starch.... sorry, I do not agree. The betas wouldnt be dead, not even after many hours and the alphas cannot properly do theire work at 63C. just my 2 cent

    First Stepped Mash Questions

    No, I dont think so, the beer certainly will be drinkable, it lacks only a little bit polish. :icon_cheers:

    First Stepped Mash Questions

    Mantis, Id rather do a 63/72C step mash than 50/63C Wheat beers dont need a protein rest around 50C and if your last step is around 63C, then youve activated only the beta amylase, not the alpha amylase. May be, that beer becomes way too dry and still contains a little bit unconverted starch...

    German Beers In Germany

    Beerfingers, that depends very much on the place where youll be staying. We have hundreds of good beers, you wont be able to try out all of it. So Id suggest you to drink only beers that are locally available. The big brand mega swill beers you may get everywhere. Cheers, have a nice time...
