Profile of Michael Behrendt
Personal Information : Started in 1994. After years of talking about
making beer, my family bought me the basic
equipment as a gift and said ‘go do it’.
Brewing set-up : After my 100th extract/specialty grain batch,
I’m switching to all-grain.
Favorite beer styles : Almost everything except some Belgian styles.
Sorry, don’t like sour beer!
Special Techniques : Randy Mosher’s method for bourbon barrel
aging using charred white oak soaked in
bourbon.
Special interests : Getting BJCP to revise their exam methodology.
I’m an Apprentice. Passed the tasting part
but not the written part and don’t intend to
retake it until it’s changed.
