An inspiring manual for home brewers wanting to recreate a wide variety of wild ales
Wild beers are the sourdough of the beer world, and Jaega Wise, head brewer at East London's Wild Card Brewery, is one of the UK's experts in this unusual and delicious type of beer.
In this book she shares her tricks, tips and homebrew recipes, teaching you not only how to make beer, but also how to get the most out of your beer yeast, wild yeasts and bacteria to produce barrel-aged beauties from mature sour beer to tangy fruit beers. Try your hand at a sour Berliner Weisse or a slow-aged Oud Bruin, or experiment with brewing a fruity Saison or a lemony, herby Gose.
Learn about the behavior of different yeasts, the tools of the trade and how to set up your own brews at home. With delicious recipes and expert advice, Wild Brews contains everything you need to get started, from basic brewing principles to mastering the art of wild fermentation.
This book will include everything you need to know about wild yeasts and fermentation, recipes for brewing with fruit, spices and creating farmhouse beers, and trouble shooting tips for what to do when things don't go to plan.
