Welcome to Brau-Kaiser.com. This site is dedicated to subjects that are mostly related to brewing German style beers and it is not intended to be a complete reference for the home brewing process. It is rather a loose collection of various articles.
Philosophy
I enjoy the scientific and technological aspects brewing, which shows in the articles, and want to promote a better understanding of them as well as introduce the advanced brewer to various brewing techniques. Being an engineer I like to know what is happening and how I can control the final product and fix problems when they arise. Despite what many readers would think, I'm a fairly relaxed brewer. Some of that relaxation comes from knowing the process and knowing where attention is necessary and where not.
