Yes, more slides from my DDR talk.
There's more stuff about the DDR hop industry. Including information about how hops were used. Showing how much hop extract could be used. And the small quantity of aroma hops used. Mostly in the posher types of beer.
Then there's some stuff about mashing. Fun fact: the DDR Helles mashing scheme is very similar to how Budweiser was brewed in the 1990s. Both have a rice cereal mash that is used as a decoction. How odd is that?
I wonder why they used rice, which surely they’d have to import, rather than maize, which could be grown domestically. Perhaps they imported it from some other socialist country?
