Hey, @Hector! You don't by any chance have a recipe for traditional German-style pumpernickel bread? I'm baking it for Christmas, but there are way to many recipes out there that are way off. I find some with cocoa, coffee, maple syrup and God knows what! I have a couple of nice recipes, but there's always room for more.
 
Hi Gahr!! Long time no talk!

Pumpernickel? Unfortunately I have never made it myself. But normally for Christmas we do Lebkuchen, Pfeffernüsse and the like (spiced bread with cinnamon, clove, ginger and the like).

Are you looking for a recipe to go with a certain food ?

I can find this recipe (in German) which looks about right for Pumpernickel, but you need a Rye Sour Dough starter: http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/1036001208758578/Pumpernickel-wie-ich-ihn-mag.html

It's in German, but Google can translate it for you... (or I can do it in case Google messes it up)
 
Thanks, man! I read German pretty well, so the recipe is not a problem. One question, though: Is "Rübenkraut" a sugar beet syrup?

Yep! I've never made Pumpernickel, so maybe try to do a test batch before the final one :)

Treat it like your pilot brewing system ;)
