many thanks Guys

In the late 70's/early 80's, in Muenster, Germany, there was a pilsner beer called: Germania Edel Pils This beer is no longer being made - don't know the full story, but I think the company went bust. However, this beer was exceptional. I'd like to brew a close match (all grain) and have been...

Cheers guys, any tips on old grain that has been stored in a dark environment for 3 months. Would it still be ok to use or would I start getting stale flavours in my beer ?

Hello fellow brewers, I have made numerous kit beers and one all grain brew thus far (German Alt Bier) and must say that I an hooked to all grain. I have 2 questions. 1) I'd like to brew something like a Grolsch style lager. Do you have a recipe or know of websites that I can read to find the...
