Meat Popsicle
Preferred hops for the Alt?
(Spalt?)
(Spalt?)
Spalt is great but I've also happily used tettnanger, hallertauer mitt and even styrians.
For base, I go 50 pils, 25 each of munich and vienna, tricked up with a couple of specs. All munich is totally in place, DJ.
My understanding is as Munich as you like in an Alt.
I usually use Tettnanger but went with a Northern Brewer/Hallertauer combo for this one as that's what I had on hand.
I do a swap and go keg thing for a mate. He pays for ingredients, I brew it. He wants me to brew Corona...
So I'll take the challenge because I've never got around to making a really simple swill before so its about time.
Basically testing brewing technique has to be perfect because you cant hide any faults in such a beer so here goes.
