German Brewing

Micros can actually buy Sauergut from suppliers (minimum order is 20litres). I suggested to the manufacturer that there may be a market for them to look into. They said that this thought occurred to them too and it would be a possibility. Guess demand is what would make it happen (500 ml packs).

On the other hand I do feel that keeping one's own culture going helps defining one's identity as a brewer. Typical volumes used at 1.5litres per hl. It's not a huge amount but still noticeable.

Considering the many ways one can make wort, this would also translate into the identity of the product. And that's the beauty of it.
