My grandfather passed in 1963 when I was five years old.
He lived in Opelousas Louisiana, which is in south Louisiana, Cajun country.
He was a long time home brew guy going back to prohibition time and maybe before, he was a WWI vet and was deployed to the battle fields of France.
So anyway my older sister told me that a few weeks after his death some beer bottles stored in the detached garage expolded due to the hot Louisiana weather.
I'm a recent HB guy, for a couple of years now, and was wondering what home brew people did back then for ingredients and recipes. I'm sure there wasn't a home brew store and no Amazon or other resource available.
Anyone who would have knowledge of how he brewed are gone and my knowledge is limited on brewing in general.
Does anyone have any speculations or knowledge of what recipes and igredients would be available to a home brew guy in the early 60's in that area of the country?
Thanks
