I enjoy making and drinking lots of different beer, but my favorites tend to be Belgian style ales. But then again, there's nothing like a nice fresh IPA.

I won a "best of show" for a Southern English Brown ale, which I then got to help brew at Howe Sound Brewing. London Town Brown: https://untappd.com/beer/320937

comment Munich and Vienna Malts - Dullness
Yes, perhaps that was too vague of a question to get good answers. To fully ask it, with maybe 5 or 6 recipes, is probably a bit too complicated for a forum like this. I just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this trend that I've seen.

It's definitely not the only difference, but it's an important one.

comment What is the distinctive flavor in Warsteiner Premium Verum?
Sounds interesting. Is your recipe anywhere, like on hopville.com? If I can get a similar flavor I'll be happy, but it doesn't seem like it's what's Warsteiner is doing -- that beer is so light I wouldn't think it has anything like dark Munich in it.

comment No-rinse acid sanitizer - is there a risk?
If rinsing my bottles with tap water is going to contaminate my beer, I've got bigger problems to worry about than my beer. I drink my tap water all the time.

comment Recipe for Brewing?
Yeah, spending some time learning from a good book, like John Palmer's, is a very important first step. After you understand what it's all about, you'll be able to understand what to do for a recipe which doesn't include "procedures" details.
