Does anybody Brew their own beer

Moxtrain · Sep 17, 2019

Yup. Used to work at a homebrewing store for a couple of years while I was in school.

Used to, but that was over 20 years ago.

Will just like reefing brewing beer has changed a lot in the last 20 years don't know how it was that long ago however I've been brewing for 3 years and it's a lot of fun

I brew all grain and have been at it for about 5 years, just kegged a porter and need to get a couple more batches going this weekend.

Cool last month did a 25g batch of a chocolate milk stout. It will be ready to drink on the 22nd of this month. So I Brew with two Neighbors so it's not such hard work one of my neighbors is a sign so we printed our own label I haven't been able to talk them into kegging beer yet we bottle and split up the beer that way. Which is probably a good thing if I had a keg around it would be hard to keep track of how many beers I drink

Too bad one of you brewers that are putting into kegs dont want a nice true brand direct draw unit. Im looking to sell.

Vinman · Sep 17, 2019

Is that a kegerator

Silent · Sep 17, 2019

Yep. Ignore the nasty beer in the keg lol

Looks nice but I had to fight them tooth and nail to upgrade our equipment to 25 gallon batches but I'm still working on them eventually they'll get tired of bottling

Grape_City_Reefer · Sep 17, 2019

Kegging is so nice. You are done in a fraction of the time and can dial in the CO2 to the right carbonation, if a little flat add more gas, if too much dial it back and burp the keg.

Actually the "Grape_City_Reefer" handle was thought up because of where I live. I am not sure if it is a national/international brand or not, but Welch's grape juice is actually produced about 2 miles from my home. The town is surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of both concord, niagara, and other grape varietals. I don't think people realize the extent of grape farming along Lake Erie, I know I did not and I was born less than 4 hours away!
