Liebe Sabine,
wenn Ihr nicht uns so wichtig als Malzlieferranten für Camelthorn Brewing Co in Windhoek wäret, würde ich Dich als Botschafterin Deutschlands und Ambassadorin für Namibia empfehlen. Vielen Dank für Deine netten Worte und die präziese Wiedergabe des Brautums in Namibia. Gern würden wir den Kontakt zu den Bambergern aufbauen.
Dank und Gruss aus einem immer noch herbstlich warmen Windhoek.
Jörg
Answer: Immerhin habe ich ja schon das würdevolle Amt der Bamberg Botschafterin!...
Würde mich aber im Himmel freuen, wenn unsere Bemühungen für internationale Völkerverständigung gewürdigt würden…
Du weißt ja, Weyermann® - just more than just malt!

Dear Thomas,
I hope you and Sabine were being well and your lovely company still continue to deliver emotions beyond the special malts. It was a really delighting experience the party in your malt plant last November. To retribute such hospitality and to give you an Easter keepsake, we finally have arranged 2 Port Wine Casks of 600L each that have been used to maturate Port Wine for long years that I suppose are the ones that you are looking for to produce the special beer that you have told us that you intend to produce.
They are becoming more and more difficult to arrange because industries like whisky and other distilled beverage are looking for former port wine casks because they could improve the flavor of these beverages.

Answer: Hello Jose, Happy Easter and thanks for the wonderful Easter surprise!
We wish we could come and collect the barrels ourselves but the trip schedule is very busy for 2009 (USA, Austria, Thailand, NZ, USA and this is just till October 2009)
The Douro Region is definitively on our travel list! We enjoeyed Portugal very much and of course your hospitality!
We are more than happy that another Weyermann® dream will come true - thanks to your support and help!
Hope you will have a chance to come back in 2010 for the Weyermann® Bavarian Party or maybe for July 25th - Weyermann® turns 130 years!
Happy Easter! Sabine

Thomas and Sabine,
Well first I wanted to wish you very safe travels and a successful conference in Boston. I will not be able to make it to the conference this year since I have to be in Portland, Or for 2 weeks starting the 27th to open our new warehouse up there featuring Weyermann® malts. There is just too much to do and not enough time, but I know you can relate to that.
Also I wanted to let you know that on Tuesday this week, myself and Bobby Jackson, the head brewer at Bohemian Brewery ( my old Brewery ) brewed with the Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner malt. We brewed the exact recipe that you supplied to David Sipes of Boston Beer Co. for the 1842 Classic Pilsner. I wanted to give you some feed back on this malt´s performance. Now we did a true Triple Decoction for this beer, so our results may not be typical but the malt performed wonderfully. The wort coming out of the lauter tun was very, very clear. Much more clear than Bohemian usually gets with the Gambrinus malt it currently uses as a base malt. The wort ran clear from beginning to end of the lauter. Judy also reported to me that Berkshire Brewing had similar results using an infusion mash schedule. Also our extract levels were very high compared to the Gambrinus pilsner malt. We used only 373lbs total malt, compared to 435lbs normally used for a batch at Bohemian, and after collecting 11 bbls and filling the kettle we were still getting about 5 degree Plato wort out of the lauter tun. Due to the kettle being full we were forced to send the rest of the wort to drain. Normally they run off their Pilsner Beer to about 2.5 degrees Plato to fill the kettle. So as you can see the extract far exceeded that of the Gambrinus Pilsner malt they currently use. The wort also had a much cleaner malt flavor and aroma than the Gambrinus, which always tastes and smells a bit grassy. We did observe a little more hot break and trub in the whirlpool than normal, which is good, also there was very little cold break formed within 24hrs. Fermentation is going well, I am going back over today to check gravity and sample.
I am looking forward to trying the final beer, once it has lagered for about 6 weeks. I am very hopeful the final flavor of the beer will be excellent. I really just wanted to share with you my experience using this malt. I hope you have an excellent trip and I am very sorry that I will miss you at the conference this year.
Very warm regards
Geoff
Answer: Geoff, thanks for the feed back! Sounds like a new Weyermann® legend is born!
