The wit and weizen of wheat beers.

Complete with brewing details and recipes for even the most curious brewer, and answers to compelling questions such as Why is my beer cloudy? and With or without lemon?

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

From the Foreword: "Tracking those old beers--German, Belgian, whatever--makes one realize that the key to the old styles, probably even more than the recipes themselves, was to be found in the local microflora of each brewery. (Jean-Baptiste) Vrancken reports eighteenth and nineteenth century trials, in which brewmasters were sent from a brewery to another similar one, with all their equipment, raw material, and techniques. Sometimes the grains were even crushed in the first brewery to mimic the process perfectly. They never succeeded in making the same beer in the next village!" - Yvan De Baets, Brewer, Brasserie de la Senne Brussels, Belgium
