Hop-bong time
Trying this setup for the first time, for adding co² flushed hopps. This, can also go boom...
German style pilsner
Closed transfer from pressure vessel. Sooo much more convenient than the old open plastic tubs and single bottle at a time 😁
Carbonating is tricky
Getting ready for the weekend, trying out bottling from kegs. Nothing has exploded. Yet. 🤞
Prep-day
Milling and cleaning equipment, brew day tomorrow. Making a tropical style pale-ale.
My second attempt coming along nicely
Decided to make a desert wine style of mead. First attempt was completely bitched while this one seems to go better with US05. Anyone got an idea on how long primary should be before I put it into secondary?
Blackberry Wine
I'm usually a mead maker but I took one of my mead recipes and just substituted the honey with sugar. Hope I will have 6 good gallons.
Prepping for Yule
Going with a spiced cider and port/brandy libation for the winter solstice🎄
I guess I'm the first?
Had to get this tag approved 😅 anyone else out there home brewing? What you making?
Finally moved in
Lots of racking and bottling soon. Pardon the mess 😅 the brew corner is doubling as the recycling corner till the city drops off a recycling bin
Brew Staff Update
Pictured here is this months employee of the month. Typhoon (listed here) is busy keeping an eye on the primary fermination stage. He is doing his best to help degass a 6.5 gallon carboy. Keep up the excellent work Typhoon and one day you will be brew master!
Hard Iced Tea
So I've decided to make a batch of hard iced tea using nothing but off the shelf ingredients. Generic tea bags, cane sugar, yeast nutrient and EC-1118 yeast. I'll use potassium sulfate to stop the fermentation at 8% and then add the lemon when I move it into the keg at the bar.
Hard Cider Help
Our apple trees didn't do so great this year, has anyone tried using apple juice concentrate for brewing? I'm hoping it's a cost effective way to make some cider.
Happy accident
Started racking some mead that was WAY overdue from getting forgeten during my move The Acadia Dragon Fruit mead turned to vinegar But like..... It's still g o o d (edited)
Beefsteak Rye Whiskey
I boiled an 18 oz loaf of Beefsteak Rye bread for 30m, disolved 5-lbs of cane sugar, added yeast nutrient, set the ph to 5+, and pitched 1 packet of EC1118 yeast. I'll be adding this to my Frosted Whiskey batch post distillation but retaining some of it on the side. (edited)
Interesting brew lately?
Tell about your most interesting brew that you did recently! I recently put down a Moscow Mule-inspired mead that I got from a youtube channel I follow. For the primary, I made a a cup and a quarter of ginger "juice" to go in it, along with candied ginger. Then I racked it after I stabilized, and… read more
A haiku for today:
Brew Enjoy Empty Repeat..
Not all accidents though
Bottled last night
Which one?
If you Google the names you'll probably find the recipe. Looking for input on what to brew next week
Guess this is my personal channel🤪
Started the marizpan beer Friday. Ight (see previous post) Flea market had a farmers tent and picked up a $10 sangria watermelon. Wasn't able to fit it all in my 2gal bucket fermenter. Watermelon wine in the way!
