    Hi.
    I am looking for a good beer recipe, but not an American recipe. More of a real beer or German recipe. I have tested things like bud and others and they are too "weak" of a beer for me and most ppl I speak with. I want to go back to original beer roots with good and European recipe's of origin. I am interested in your views of great beers of origin. Any views are welcome.

    Regards

    I have done many brews but looking for something more original that I can follow off from. ie I wanna keep the original tradition but now want to experiment. Reinheitsgebot with a twist if you know what I mean. But sticking to quality.

    Welcome to the BA site, chomps.

    "I have done" many beer, is that a reference that you've brewed them and are looking for recipes for real beers or German beers to brew? We're helpful around here but a little more info or clarification would be helpful.

    Whether you're looking for recommendations to purchase or brew, it would be helpful if you can me more specific. Here's a lift of style, and if you click on those that interest you you'll get a definition of the style characteristics along with a list of commercially-available examples arranged in order of most popular (generally meaning available in a wide-spread area). Tell us more about what you're looking for.

    Best brews for me:
    Mash at 153°F (67°C) for 60 minutes or until conversion is complete. Boil for 60 minutes following the hops schedule. Pitch the yeast and ferment at 68°F (19°C) for 2–3 days, then allow the temperature to rise slowly to 74°F (23°C) by the end of fermentation to ensure full attenuation. Package at 2.7 volumes of CO2 and consume fresh.

    The most important thing is patience. Good beer takes time....

    I found something that might be of interest to you at Beer & Brewing (linked below).
    https://beerandbrewing.com/weldwerks-hefeweizen-recipe/

    In the directions it says:
    “Mash at 153°F (67°C) for 60 minutes or until conversion is complete. Boil for 60 minutes following the hops schedule. Pitch the yeast and ferment at 68°F (19°C) for 2–3 days, then allow the temperature to rise slowly to 74°F (23°C) by the end of fermentation to ensure full attenuation. Package at 2.7 volumes of CO2 and consume fresh.”

    You could use the recipe as a starting point and add some of your own words....er, uh, flair.

    This thread took a bizarre turn.

    "I am looking for a good beer recipe, but not an American recipe. More of a real beer or German recipe."

    Perhaps what you're looking for is a lager rather than an ale. From the description of your "best brew" you are describing an ale since you mention that you ferment at 68 F. Typical "good" German beers are lagers, while typical "good" American beers are ales. Give a German lager a try - you may enjoy them.

    I saw that, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, what if that quote IS his bible for brewing?

    Who, in their right mind, would simply troll for no other reason than for trolling? Nobody can be that sick.

    @chomps where are you located? There isn't a location listed in your profile. That will help us point you in the direction you want to go, as classic continental ales seem like what you want to brew. Giving you the benefit or the doubt that you're not a troll.

    Basically, what are you trying to brew?

    "@chomps where are you located?"

    I would guess he's from Montreal. At least the beer from his logo is from there ("Microbrasserie Les Trois Mousquetaires").

    Yep. Everyone knows American beer is not Real Beer. The German recipe is the trick to making Real Beer.

    Lucky for you this forum has many Real Beer recipes and some are German recipes. So you came to the right place.

    Is that all?

    It’s possible the cynic in me jumped the gun, so I’ll hop on the “benefit of the doubt” wagon and ask, can you expand on “sticking to quality”?
    (Those who have read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" know that my question opens up a deep rabbit hole.)

    One of the deepest "novels" I've ever read! All about "quality" for sure, which obviously also applies to beer! Coincidentally, I was just re-reading Pirsig's biography a few days ago, wondering if his daughter might have carried on his writing talent!
