Homebrew Haught Talk Thred
Since
@NoWarningJustDawg hasn't done it I will. With Football season right around the corner I ran out today to grab some homebrew components to brew this weekend.
I picked up stuff to make a sierra nevada style ale, a blonde, and an english IPA. I typically brew batches in groups of 3 bc that's what I've got and they fit into this nicely.
Three tap party system that I've got plans to upgrade. I'm going to make a fold down wood box with wheels for the whole thing and do a nice poly bar coat on it. That way you won't know it's a trashcan inside and it will have space for the CO2 cannister. I might add a water draw on the trash can as well to empty it when required. If we return to the Rose Bowl you can expect to see me bring this fucker. Even
@backthepack and his friends can't kill the whole thing.
As for brewing I've got a fast ferment that is good, not as great as advertised but still really nice. Then a carboy and a bucket. Honestly, the bucket is probably the easiest to brew in and I've never noticed any discernible difference in quality.

I'm one of those Beer Judge douchebags, helped with current style guidelines, so feel free to make fun of me for that. But, understanding that stuff did improve my brewing. In the range of 270 beer batches over 11 or 12 years, all grain. KS weather sucks so half the year I brew inside on kitchen stovetop, Brew-in-a-bag. Rest of time with actual mash tun in open garage waiting for someone to come by and ask if I'm making meth or certain my immersion chiller is a still. Every damn time. Fucking Midwest, man.
Counting mead, cider, wine, I'm over 1000 batches. Around the time Browning was trying to find a Bama player to throw it to, I had 700 gallons in my basement. Currently quite a bit less and am focusing more on stuff that ages like mead and red wine, out of necessity. 27 fermenters at last count. It's a bit of a problem admittedly, but I'm slowly downsizing.
If anyone wants a recommendation on yeast or tips for a style or troubleshooting, feel free to hit me up. @UW_Doog_Bot thanks for starting a thread - send me a massage if you want a sample shipped your way; someone's gotta drink this swill. Same goes for @GrundleStiltzkin and I suppose @Swaye since his life is over.
Currently adjusting a low-alcohol carbonated passion fruit mead to serve at a fest next month. Last year some drunk idiot made fun of my "fruity girlie beer" until I pointed out most of the women in attendance were in my line. Dumbass.
Cheers--
What exactly did you do to get your RB tickets and who did you do it to?
