He has been phasing out wheat for some time. - Replaced White Wheat with Flaked Oats. Video's show they you thomas fawcett malts John Kimmich - Impressions John seems to be old school, he's learned through trial and error. But he is a rebel, he does it his way or the high way. He seems to still use the old world of brewing while embracing the newer aspects of technique. That doesnt however mean he uses modern technology. John prefers gravity systems as he believes hop loose something when spun through a pump. Once hops enter the wort, everything is either gravity or pressure transfered. John also seems to be an essentialist who only does exactly what is needed, no more no less. It would seem after years of trial an error he's been able to come up with radical ways of using the least amount of ingredients possible. using chemistry to highlight his beer instead of overdosing of ingredients. I believe this is why he chose the name "The Alchemist " Created with BeerSmith The Alchemist Heady Topper Page 2 of 2 file:///C:/
