My German Altbier is boiling along. Tomorrow I'll document my whole brewing process on here as I brew a Bock, explaining how I make beer with a Grainfather brewing system so if you are interested in brewing stay tuned.

Some folks were curious about the time from brew day to glass. This Altbier is an ale and ferments faster (1-2 weeks) than a lager (3-4). Last week I chilled it down to cellar temps and transferred it into a keg and connected the keg to CO2 to carbonate for 1-2 weeks.

I transferred some of the Altbier to a 6L keg that fits inside my kitchen fridge and is pressurized using a CO2 canister. Three weeks from grain to glass.
