Scientist, Walf, Coffee-addict and beer aficionado, in varying order. o,o Lately there's quite a bit of brewing content here! Other interests might include but are not limited to: Reading, hiking, model making... And that's enough description for today.
Oops, forgot to post this Kentucky Common I brewed up a whole ago! Never had one, did some research on recipes and came up with this one, containing 34 % flaked corn, a few percent of caramel and roast malts, and predominantly Cluster hops (plus a little Hallertau Mittelfrüh).

Seems like this peat-smoked experiment will be ready for bottling on the weekend! And from what I can tell at this point, it might be less off-putting than I've feared initially o,o

Around 45 % peat smoked malt in the grist - what could possibly go wrong?!
...
Guess I'm about to find out - and I'm already looking forward to it! XD

Okay, this will be interesting... I can already smell faint peat smoke through the bag.

Oof... busy times were had.
Soooo... To catch up on two topics at the same time: I'd call this brew a huge success! ;)
Somewhere between a Festbier and a Märzen - and it was especially delightful to get it served at the location. The guests also seemed to enjoy it.

Huge achievement unlocked yesterday: @ookami.cc and me made it all the way up to the Zugspitze, from Hammersbach via the Höllentalferner and the via ferrata. Weather forecast looked promising so we rented ice picks and crampons and set the alarm clock for 3 am. And succeeded this time!

Honestly this quote is so good:
“Beer can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be—that’s what made me fall in love with it. It’s something you can work to perfect forever”.

Of course we'd like his tens of millions of pounds, but would we take that at the expense of everyone in the world knowing we were pieces of shit? Yes. Yes we would. Please give us tens of millions of pounds.
BrewDog shares are very likely worthless - I revisit the “Unicorn” deal that allowed the founders to cash out and raise another £67mn from small investors for their loss making business

Military ration time again - before this thing gets any older! ^^
This time something almost mandatory for me, one could say: The classic cardboard-boxed German Einmannpackung! Some small items I'll probably keep as a snack for hiking and such, other things I'll try in the near future.

Oof... That one took a while but (a couple of days ago) I've managed to fill the FermZilla with a proper amount of wort! Something between a Festbier and a Märzen - hope it turns out nice, otherwise this will be a lot of effort going to waste. #homebrewing #Weubräu #Beer

Ok, 4.2 kg of malt is too much for this kettle, at least if you want to have somewhat precise temperatures while mashing. What was I thinking? Anyway: Had my attempt at a Russian Imperial Stout for this year's Christmas season yesterday. Added a bit of coffee and smoked malt. 1.105 SG. Wish me luck!

I have to say, the test batch of my Waldfürst already makes for a really nice summer beer! Pleasant fruity hop notes without too much bitterness, and overall a bit lighter than what the color might suggest. #WeuBräu #Beer #Homebrewing

A while ago a friend kept insisting that beer would be perfectly fine without any hops and that, in fact, hops only make beer taste worse. Well... Why not try something then (and get rid of some old ingredients while doing so)?
Mainly Pilsner and Vienna malt, few percent roasted and caramel malts.

And because the test batch turned out pretty nice, the large batch of this year's Waldfürst is now happily fermenting away in the basement. :) Turned out to have a slightly higher OG than the last one, but should still be nice hoppy and light beer for the summer - just with a bit more of a punch. ^^

Mountaineering continued yesterday with @ookami.cc ! Had to be reasonable and turn back after making it roughly halfway to the Zugspitze, as we were too slow and would've missed the last cable car down. Still an amazing trip though!

Okay, this will be an experiment! Trying something on a small scale for an upcoming Festbier:
Fermenting at 8 °C - with the NovaLager yeast strain! Did really well at 18 °C for the Maibock, but in the fridge? Well, there's something going on...

Brewed up a second little batch of my Altbier a few days ago, and it seems to come along nicely. Might end up 0.2 % higher in alcohol or so, but that shouldn't be a problem. ;)

Time to dig into one of these again! It's been sitting on the shelf for long enough, along with a couple of other rations...
Will probably just go for the main dish and leave some accessories for some other time, though.
