Frankfurt (Main) it is - you're on! I took this pic of the "Mainhattan skyline" (how she's called by the locals) about 10km to the west last week. We had kind of a good view during our stroll that day.

Closer than Atlanta .. but it's not London or on the British Isles.

wrong country - not Atlanta

Back to the roots: name that skyline!

... so it's two for one now? Punakha-Dzong? Riga, capital of Latvia?

I have added a few "new" bottles to the horde. I normally avoid green glass as it's more translucent, but an additional type of glass is very welcome at the moment so that I can keep all the planned small batches apart. Lean management in the home brewery... Necessity has forced me to...

1.25 gal Münchener Hell (Ha'Psch-Clone) v2, simple kettle mash with one infusion 1133 +1.25 --------- 1134.25

Indonesia? The steeple and what I think is a minaret in the background, as well as the palm trees, make me think of SEA now.

I'd say ... Cyprus?

I just wasn't expecting this! No questioning about your abilities - you said your wife was born in Germany and you're somehow involved in a German bread cartel, didn't you? You picked something up for sure. But when I think about your stainless, I'd more likely compare it with Bender Rodriguez'...

Good point, I just could have added a link the first time: Gutes Bier selbst brauen, ISBN 9783835415560 The author is also hosting the page netbeer.org, but there is not much happening for years. And it looks, as only parts of the page were translated into English. (As I wrote in my HBT...

Unfortunately I only could find it in German, but my way into homebrewing was "Gutes Bier selbst brauen" by Hubert Hanghofer, chemical engineer and beer sommelier. It contains good explanations for theory and practice, like really how to build your own basic setup for all grain brewing. And...

It was quite a busy week for me so I didn't find the time to report on my beer-related actions, but here I am: First of all: I bottled 1.25 gal of Münchener Hell v1, brewed using two mash process. For the first time I harvested the yeast from a batch - let's see how this turns out. I spare you...

Welcome from Germany to the Craft Beer Capital of the World in the land of the long white cloud! 😁

1.25 gal Münchener Hell (Ha'Psch-Clone) v1 with decoction, two mash process 1009 +1.25 --------- 1010.25

Cleaning day: 20 bottles at once at 75°C with my selfmade dishwasher insert. The closures for the swing top bottles are in the cuttlery drawer, also top clean. Never had issues with infections (knock on wood). And there was also some space for my breakfast porridge bowl. With recently emptied...

Göta Canal, Sweden?

The last days I had in my mind to resurrect my "utility muffin beer research kitchen". That gives me the opportunity to do 5l batches instead of 30l. With the things I learned from reading the HBT over the last few weeks, I had the urge to pull this setup out of the archives and worked a bit on...

Try some Bavarian Weizen with that null run: don't waste your time and the energy! Weizen is really forgiving in any step (maybe except for lautering, if you totally destroyed the husks). Do you grind yourself or do you get your malt grained? For the Weizen: just keep an eye on the OG, if it's...

The first two things that came into my mind were: Nice or Monaco, because of the lookout to the left ... so... I go with Nice Yacht Harbour, Cote d'Azur, France.
