Last weekend, when I made a basked of Brezels and lye rolls, I took pictures to illustrate the process. I finally finished the write-up: Brezels and other Laugengebäck - German brewing and more
Enjoy,

Looks great Kai. I’ll have to give that a try sometime. I think the rolls would be great with some bratwurst, emmentaler cheese, and mustard.
+1
but don’t foget the lentils.
Anyone know a good place to buy lye? I want to do some of these fun rolls…but don’t know where to find lye. I’m sure shipping is brutal…so maybe something local in the Chicago-area…
I found this:
Is this appropriate for making food? This is really close to my house, so hopefully this is ok!
I bought mine here after I couldn’t find it in local stores. Keep in mind that driving around to find it may cost more in gas than having it shipped. I oftentimes forget about that fact when buying a $5 item and paying $6 for shipping.
PS: I just posted in your hardness thread that you may have added lye instead of lime. I guess this answers that question.

Good point Kai. I remember you posting something about buying food grade lye at the NB forum a few months back. What site did you buy this from?
Looks like I forgot to post the link. It was still in one of my browser tabs: Amazon.com
