Food So Has Anyone Brewed Beer Before?

Jesus Christ, just brew a fuckton off beer already.

I have been. Kavaneezer is full.

Brewing more next week.

Stupid bowl is all round the corner.

I mean, i get that. I think i spend about 2 years modding skyrim, and like 5 hours playing it.

Can’t drink Skyrim.

Got a couple brews on deck.

American Pale Ale we’ve done before and loved.

An original recipe using the Hothead yeast @fly told me about. It’ll have some Galena, Calypso, and Green Bullett hops in it. Shooting for a 4.2% ABV.

And there’s a California style lager kit I picked up.

Should have some solid offerings for the Stupor Bowel.

Aren't both of them a little old to be drinking for effect at this point?

Pretty sure wessels is still 12 at heart. And 19 not at heart.

Not looking to get people smashed.

The 7.4% witbier was definitely a mild fuckup

Yeah, I like to shoot for 5-6%; they prefer 7-9%. Although at the other end of the spectrum, we had a 12% stout that took over 6 months to get through. It was WAAAAY too much for anyone to attempt.

Just had a friend give us 2 kegs, a 5# CO2 tank, and a regulator. Not sure if I'm going to use it to serve beer at different pressures, or to serve the Hard Water at about 25PSI.

you don’t need to serve that high if you force carb the fuck outta it.

Been our experience anyways.

Also, serving at 25psi is great if you want to ha e burping contests.

Yeah. Too high and it almost becomes a chore to drink it before the keg goes shitty.

Tossed 23L of cheap shitty apple juice and pectic enzyme in a bucket last night. Grabbing some Safale S-04 on the way home this evening to pitch in there.

Time for another round of boring ass cider!

It will just eventually come back out.

And for whatever reason, seltzer just doesn't seem to hold on to CO2 as well as beer does.

Not true at all.

 

[gee]

So I've decided boring ass cider is gonna become festive ass cider.

Gonna soak a bunch of cinnamon/cloves/nutmeg/vanilla/whatever in some vodka, and fire it in.

Should be ready right in time for christmas to be well over.

Laid down some Caribou Slobber (Northern Brewer brew-in-a-box) with my friend last night.
