His Beer Is Good Clean Fun? Wed Feb 26, 8:35 AM ET BERLIN (Reuters) - A German priest has developed a novel way to brew beer -- in a washing machine. Michael Fey, 45, a Catholic priest from the western city of Duisburg, came up with the idea of converting his 35-year-old toploader to provide beer more cheaply for youth outings he organizes. "All I needed was something that could be used to heat and stir the mix -- so why not a washing machine?" said Fey, who now uses another machine for his clothes. His machine brews 40 pints of beer in 10 hours. Fey said his unorthodox brewing method has made him consider experimenting with new flavors: "I recently read about some American beer made with chilies. Now that could be interesting."
that might actualy be a little outrageous for father ted! I got to try it though. throught high school I brewed beer in a gatorade jug in my closet. Problem was it made all of my clothes smell of beer
Could provide for some interesting reviews... Whirlpool Ale, a beer from Germany and brewed in a washing machine, provides the drinker with a complete cycle full of flavors. It has a strong yellowish tint, reminiscent of a spicy mustard stain with a grass-stainish and soy sauce aromas. Upon contact with the palate, there is an instant rush of non-chlorine detergent with hints of a spring breeze and sometimes mountain rain fabric softener. A bleach-like aftertaste follows with the slightest, almost unnoticeable hit of stain pre-treater as this delectible brew goes down. Very interesting, hard to categorize import. Grade: B+
