Recreating a Legend: Traditional Düsseldorf Altbier (Reinheitsgebot Compliant)

In this video, I’m taking a deep dive into the world of traditional German brewing by tackling a classic Düsseldorf Altbier. To keep this brew strictly compliant with the Reinheitsgebot (the German Purity Law), I bypassed modern chemical additions and brewed this the old-school way—including propagating and using my own Sauergut (biological acid malt/wort) for pH adjustment! Altbier is a beautiful, deeply complex style that balances rich, nutty malt character with a crisp, firm bitterness. If you love traditional lagering techniques applied to top-fermenting ales, this one is for you.
