Pre-Prohibition on Tap
The LabelMy Great-Granddad secretly brewed beer in his basement for his workers on the farm to consume. It was a family secret, and according to my Great-Grandma he was making root beer. The recipe for this beer, as described in the previous post is based on what would have been made by a German farmer living in the United States before the prohibition.
I named the beer G.G. Josie's Secret Batch, because my Great-Granddad (G.G.) Joseph was called Josie and he secretly brewed this beer. I was named after my Great-Granddad, so I thought I would honor him by making a beer with his name. I put his wedding picture on the label.
The beer is the lightest color I have ever had with a homebrew, and it is quite clear. There is not much of an aroma, but the hops are definitely noticeable in the taste. The corn flavor really comes through. These beer is light, registering at 3.3%, which is perfect for a lawnmower beer in the summer.
