Description:
A steinbier was made in germany in which stones were heated to 1,000 f and dropped into casks to boil the wort since they had no other way of boiling the wort.I used lava stones and was pleased with the results of the boil.If the boil slows bown just add some heat. This reminds me of a Killians Irish Red.
