Overview

This is inspired by the beer style that sold me on beer: loosely based on Bavarian-style wheat beer, mashed with decoct-and-boil technique and fine-tuned water chemistry, as well as a steady, lower ale fermentation temperature to ensure development of a good balance between the characteristic phenols and esters that the style is known for.

This twist on the style includes flaked oats to add some body, allowing a higher ratio of barley to wheat. Does it comply with the Reinheitsgebot? No. Do I care? Also: no.
