Beer Brewing Techniques
Brewing has gone from the German Purity Law to a whole new line of everything included, even milk! That’s right…even milk.
The German Purity Law made a decree that beer was to be made with only water, malt, hops and yeast. That’s the way beer has been made since, for the most part.
But, brewers of today have started getting creative. Cinnamon, pepper, rosemary and thyme are just a few of the spices brewers like to add for flavor.
Boils have become a science and fermentation can change from brew to brew. There is pizza beer, chile beer and just about anything that you can imagine. Beer has been mixed with champagne and now there is even a highly intoxicating 25% alcohol beer. You won’t find that at your local liquor store.
Going back to what I said about Bilk, the beer with milk. It’s in Japan and they use milk that farmers would otherwise discard. It has a fruity flavor.
So, you can’t really mess up when it comes to beer. You just have to get in there and start exploring. Find your taste and chase it! That’s what I always say.

Beertaps Review
This is the opposite of the traditional black chalkboard. It's the more advanced whiteboard that college professors and corporations across the nation use for writing their notes and thinking out loud. If Einstein could have had this baby, we would have had the greatest beer a long time ago.
With each new recipe you try to brew, give it a name. Doesn't have to be special! Jack Daniel's batches were marked with No. 1, No. 2...on down to No. 7. The cleaning solution Formula 409 was treated the same way until they found perfection. You can do that too!
Amber Ale, Coffee Porter, Chocolate Stout are just a few of the things you can write on your whiteboard...
"Try this! Tastes good. It's a'right."
"My recent batch. Explodes in your mouth."
"Awful. Gut check. Drink it down. I need the keg back."
