Public Journal of a World Brewing Academy Master Brewer Student. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Doemens Spring 2011 Bavarian Hefeweissen. Tuesday we decided to venture to the English Gardens which is the largest park in Munich. Home to such attractions as "river surfing", and Chinese Pagodas, the most appealing part to me were the vast open fields next to the river in which the masses played. I can safely say this will, no doubt, be a weekend destination. Wednesday was the start of our practical brewing expe...

Public Journal of a World Brewing Academy Master Brewer Student. Monday, April 11, 2011. Castles, Bavaria, etc. Last week we were doing mostly class work and styles tasting. The styles include not only the characteristics of the specific style, but also, how to make each. We also went through a pretty rigorous chemical analysis section which I will be very happy to get more of in the future. On Friday we have our final exam so during the weeknights I will mostly be studying. Above is the inside of the ce...

Public Journal of a World Brewing Academy Master Brewer Student. Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Munich, I am Speechless. Friday, I bought my bike. She is a wonderful little thing, perfect for the bike friendly roads of Munich. I broke her in on Monday, when Shaun and I cruised through the streets of Munich to Grafelfing (roughly 8 miles one way). My maiden voyage went the way of many before it, with trouble striking mid trip! The weekend days were spent in the English Garden. I have never been to a park w...

Public Journal of a World Brewing Academy Master Brewer Student. Sunday, February 20, 2011. So thats what a Chicago Sidewalk looks like. This past week has offered the other end of the weather spectrum in wonderful Chicago, Illinois. With temperatures more like the balmy south, I got my first glance of Chicago's sidewalks and I will tell you, they are pretty normal. Mornings have consisted less of "make sure you have all of your winter gear" and more around sleeping! Watch your step on the sidewalk, lots...

Public Journal of a World Brewing Academy Master Brewer Student. Sunday, July 17, 2011. What have you been doing over there? Above is the brewers palate, a grist composition of some of the pilsner malt which was malted by some of the Doemens students. The different piles are as follows: starting with the Husk at 12-2 and going counterclockwise we have - husk, coarse grits, fine grits #1, fine grits #2, grit flour, and flour in the middle. The "congress mash" kettle. Now the IPA has been filtered (unfortu...

Public Journal of a World Brewing Academy Master Brewer Student. Thursday, September 8, 2011. Graduation - The Culmination of a Dream. On to the festivities. Like any beer school graduation, pre-game is involved. This time, a rare release triple hopped belgian is in order. Augustiner holds a special part in this picture as well. Not only was it the only glass, but in this particular instance, it was the right one. Augustiner you never let me down. You can't have a beer school graduation without some Cana...

Public Journal of a World Brewing Academy Master Brewer Student. Monday, May 30, 2011. Graduation #1 (of 2). We had a nice lunch at a small restaurant near Doemens and Lyn Kruger made the trek to Germany to deliver our certificates.

Location: Grafelfing, Germany. European Brewing Tour - Week 2 Thursday. The last day of our brewin...
