I enjoyed this course. I research old European and German beers and bring them back to life. Watching this course gave me a great appreciation for the German beer style and their simplicity of the German Purity Law to use only a minimal amount of ingredients to make the great styles we know today.
Very knowledgeable. Reinforced some of my lagering methods and added new thoughts especially around 2 step infusion mashing. Definitely going to give that a try on next Marzen and maybe even my Pils. Nice work.
This was a great course to really dial in my German styles. Definitely recommended!
