Finished my phD in History, and now I'm basically a NEET for the time being. How's everyone going? Haven't active;y used this site for a while, and it's cool to see the same familiar faces are still here. So, I'd like to ask everyone: on what subjects do you consider yourself most knowledgeable in, and is there anything about it that you think is the most interesting to know?
I used to know beer really well. Back before there were micro brewers everywhere and a billion new hop and yeast strains I could tell you about almost all of them. I still know the history of how and where most types of beer started, the general grain bill, different methods of hopping ect
Have you ever made beer with a gruit instead of hops? It's been on my list of things to try but my first and only attempt at homebrewing didn't go super well.
I haven't yet but I really want to make a sahti this year. I did make a blond where I substituted honey for around 75% of the sugar, that turned out really well.
Never heard of sahti before - looks like fun! Maybe I can try the blond to get back into brewing.
