I brew a beer at home. German pilsner, dark Munich and rye malts filtered through Juniper branches and berries. I've pitched Red Star fresh bakers yeast but that is becoming hard to find these days. Now I use and quite happy with Wyeast 1084. Though from what I understand the key to success is to use Finnish Bakers Yeast unfortunately its only found in Finland and its too damn expensive to ship and only keeps for a limited time.

Anyway, I dont add hops nor do I boil or pasteurize the wort. I just pitch the yeast and two weeks or so later I siphon straight from the pail 11% homebrew sahti. Since its not boiled all the wonderous healthy bacteria and protiens aren't killed off. Makes for a very healthy drunk... err, Im mean drink!

Next time I make it I'll post a pic.
