Homebrew Crew (1 Viewer)

[contrariwise]

Would any body be interested in getting together on a semi-regular basis, maybe once a month and making/drinking homebrew/sharing skills/tips for good homebrew.

If so, i propose my gaf which is pretty centrally located for a night where interested parties could begin by "learning" how to make beer from the gunk you buy in a can, then drink some ... i made earlier....
cos that's all i know how to do.

Thats a deadly idea, i'm sure the homebrew will be better than the last attempt to make cider out of loads of apples. that was bad.

 

[the strange guy]

I'd be up for that! I got a book on homebrew brew which I never used. I used to make a 12.5% cider called SuiCider when I was 16. I remember giving my ma a bottle and having to put her to bed later that night. Quality stuff.

i made beer that was about 10% last month tasted sweet!!! its a good idea but not too sure if any of us boggers would be travvellin up.....a good few out this way make it on a regular basis i can try get sum tips together.
theres a recipe for fruit beer in bogul num 2. tis dead easy and tasty but not so alchoholic unfortunitly...its only about 3 or 4 %

 

[the strange guy]

3 or 4%? What are you, gay?

. I used to make a 12.5% cider called SuiCider.

wow! No, really, im impressed.

 

[the strange guy]

Don't tell any of the spas here, but the secret is lots of time, lots of sugar and lots of yeast.
I think the yeast dies after a certain point of alcohol strength. I don't think I'd like to try distilled cider. I don't think I could even drink a pint of the stuff again. *bleghhh*

 

[Lili Marlene]

Nothing added but time......and sugar and yeast?

 

[the strange guy]

Are you deaf?

 

[Lili Marlene]

This is the internet. You havn't been talking at your screen all this time have you?

 

[the strange guy]

My monitor doesn't have a gee either. Doesn't stop me wanking at it.

 

[Lili Marlene]

you win.

 

[the strange guy]

I'm not surprised.

 

[Corm]

Spas.

Anyway, I'd be up for this too...only thing better than booze...is free booze!

(or cheap booze)

 

[mazzyianne]

Yes, I'm definately up for this. I got a book too called brew it yourself. The cider was truely awful, and that melon stuff...
But i think the lesson to be learned is that when they say sterilise, they mean it.

 

[CITY BABY]

the main thing ,i find, is to keep all yer equipment completely spotless , wash everything in dissinfectant at least twice, not for hygine purposes peticularly but it gets rid of any bacteria that eats the alcahol ,and theres nothin worse then waiting a month and then ya try leave a week longer cause ya know itll taste better, then ya craic it open drink 10 pints and...nothing.

We'll "demonstrate" how we make homebrew beer (i.e. from a can) and then dicuss the finer points of the process over a few glasses of some lager that has been maturing since early april.
