Bryan's Been Away

[Bryan R]

I have been pretty absent from everywhere lately, but thought I should check in and give an update.

Firstly I have been working on a new brewery venture, that will be bringing gloriously low oxygen brewed beers local to Minnesota. The brewery is called http://www.cedarislandbrewing.com/ .IT will be a 10bbl brewhouse to start that is purpose built from the ground up around proper German brewing techniques.

I have still been feverishly brewing 1-2 batches a week(infact I have yet to miss a week in 2 years). Over the past 6-8 months I have tried uncountable methods in all aspects of German brewing. If you can dream it, I bet I have tried it.

I have discovered though much testing, and tweaking the answer to the get the proper German malt flavor is not infact using Vima, or muma but lies in a custom malt blend. I have formulated a blend that I like to call super pima (trademark pending ) and get fantastically wonderful results with that.

Biological Acid is indeed the missing link to 99% of these beers to get the authentic flavors associated with them. I have built and used a sauergut reactor for the last 6 months now, in my opinion it is a MUST have to be authentic. Many of the pale lagers are simply a pima blend, minimal high cara ( up to 1%) and good healthy dosings of sauergut.

I will be doing some podcasts soon do help folks on their journey though low oxygen brewing, with tips and tricks.

I think I am forgetting some things, but thats the jist of it.

Prost

Who are you having build your brewplant? I have been looking around and none of the systems seem to be concerned with mash oxidation much.

Sounds awesome, good luck with the venture
