  • home brewing

    Does anyone here do home brewing? I have in the past made a batches of home made wine, five gallons at a time, but have decided to brew some beer along with wine this year. I expect to start 10 gallons of wine along with 5-10 gallons of beer this weekend.

      You should see if he can make something like that grape shit we drank up.

        I've got some "grape shit" you can swallow.

        I've never tried home brewing. But I remember several threads about it back in Canada.

            I think I am going to go the usual grape recipe on one batch, and try a hard apple cider on the other batch.

                  I have two and a half gallons of beer going now. I will be bottling it Monday if all goes well.

                  I think I am going to get brave and use some hard hitting champagne yeast, and go for the 18% alcohol limit on it. Decided against the apfelwein, I am going to do another red grape wine and try a banana-oat brew. No guts no glory.

                    Banana-oat beer is out of the question, I didn't even think of the slimey, bubble retaining nature of those two, and fermenting equals thousands of tiny bubbles per minute. Possible Mt. Vesuvius situation.

                        My brother brews and has won all kinds of awards and even holds a few patents on microbreweries. He is cool as shit and if you have any questions at all he is always more than happy to share knowledge.

                        Meet Brutus! Brutus "Ten" is an example of pure will power. This brewery was built from 2" X 2" Stainless steel square box tubing, all fabricated on our small apartment patio. This was quite an endeavor

                          Holy shit, I ain't making 'pruno'.

                          More like Lalvin EC-1118 yeast, sugar, yeast nutrient, pectic enzyme, fresh fruit, 5 gallon glass carboy, and an airlock. I am going to make a single gallon of jalapeno pepper wine though...

                            Since we are reviving old threads lately I figured I'd help out instead of starting a new one.

                            I've been involved with a large local brewery for years and have many friends that home brew and a few that talked about doing it but never have. So on Saturday I stopped by Texas Brewing (owned by someone from the old board btw) and picked up their deluxe kit. It comes with pretty much everything you'd need to make beer. Assuming you have water and propane tanks that is. The smaller kits are even cheaper so if you already have a large enough pot to boil in and the means to heat it up you can do it really cheap.

                            So long story short I have a full brewery at my home now complete with a temperature controlled freezer for fermenting. My first beer has been fermenting for 48 hours now and I'm already planning my next two. The current one is Stubby's Outlaw Red IPA, next up is his Coffee Bean Stout that I'll probably do on Thanksgiving and sometime in the next week I plan on starting on a Graf that'll be a from scratch recipe instead of out of a box. It's basically just a hard cider mixed with some kind of dark malted beer with a little bit of hops.

                              This is something I should get into. My neighbor has been itching to do it.
