Description
Explore the Lost Art of Farmhouse Brewing In the remote areas of northern Europe, ancient brewing traditions have been passed down through generations on farms. Lars Marius Garshol delves into the history and cultural significance of these traditional methods, which are now facing extinction. This book is a unique blend of history, cultural anthropology, and social science, offering a glimpse into the brewing techniques that are vastly different from modern craft brewing. Discover how to make traditional beers using local ingredients and techniques, such as baking the mash in the oven to create keptinis. Learn about the unusual strain of yeast, kveik, which can ferment a batch to completion in just 36 hours. With recipes and techniques gleaned from years of research and travel, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in preserving traditional brewing methods. By exploring the regional and stylistic differences between farmhouse brewers, Garshol sheds light on the ingredients and methods that have kept these traditional methods alive. This book is a fascinating look at the cultural heritage of brewing in northern Europe, and a valuable resource for anyone looking to try their hand at traditional farmhouse brewing.
