Steve and I challenged eachother to make a Graf (beer cider hybrid) but with a twist! We let a spinning wheel randomly pick the beer style. Will we discover something new and magical or an absolute disaster?
Be sure to check out Steve’s video to see where his wheel landed and the graf he made:

Cheers OZK, it was a lot of fun to make this with Steve!
I remember the Brut style becoming popular for its short span after neipas had already become a big thing, as a response by people who didn’t care for neipa by pretty much going the opposite extreme. Although, yes, neipa/hazies became even more popular afterward. Anyway, fun experiment and collab!
Very awesome collab here. This was very creative and awesome and you two should do this 1x a year as a special. Cheers!
I would love that, Steve is the man!
Make this a tradition.
I just made a shandy graf. My first time making anything with malt. We called it a Blonde Giraffe. The honey crisp juice didn’t seem to clear with pectic enzyme or sparkeloid. I did love it. Maybe the lemonade fermented a little bit and gave it a nice almost, white wine character. I dry hopped with some fun citrusy hops called Zamba.
