Taste

of the beer is subject to the correct drinking temperature among other things. The colder the beer is drunk, the more inferior the taste sensation becomes the glass.

and tickling - that's how elector Maximilian I preceived wheatbeer

Tea from the hops flower

Take two full teaspoons of hops blossoms, blend them with 1/4 liter of boiling water and let it rest for 15 minutes. For general relaxation we recommend an in-take of two ups a day or as nightcap (also with an additional teaspoon of valerian) one cup about half an hour before bedtime.

Thirty year war

was waged between the supporters of the Catholic and the Protestant movement and lasted from 1618 to 1648. During this time Bavaria was governed by Maximilian I, the big elector, who promoted the consumption of wheatbeer to the general population. A big part of this war was funded through the revenues generated by the taxation of wheatbeer.

Top-fermenting

a beer is called top-fermenting if the yeast rises to the surface during the fermentation process. Wheatbeer is a top-fermenting beer, like the "Duesseldorfer Alt" and "Koelsch Ale" . These styles are brewed from barley-malt, though.

Trademark

The symbol used for the marking of Schneider Weisse is the oldest registered trademark for wheatbeer. It was registered as number 18 in the imperial patent office on October 23, 1894.

Tradition

The tradition of the brewer-family Schneider seamlessly connects to the famous brew tradition of the Wittelsbacher as they already brewed wheatbeer at their "Weisse Brauhaus" in Kelheim and Munich at the beginning of the 17th century. Georg I. Schneider then took over the famous brewhouse in Munich and so laid foundation to the brewing history of the Schneider family.

Transformation of starch

takes place first at the malting stage and second at the mashing stage.

Tratz’n

Bavarian. expression for "to annoy, tease, or to rib someone".

Trebern

are spent grain (so-called spelt) that remain at the bottom of the lauter tun after mashing and filtering. Spent grain is feed sought by farmers for their cattle.

Typology of a wheatbeer drinker

It is very difficult to imagine wheatbeer drinking people as lonesome, grumpy, and we-against-the-world-attitude, sitting in front of the TV. Rather, people come to mind that indulge in wheatbeer together, that discuss beer, politics, sport, and cultural events until late during warm summer nights. Such tightly knit communities of happy, dynamic, sociable, and life enjoying people sometimes spontaneously organize themselves in Schneider Weisse Fan clubs.
