Does anybody Brew their own beer

 

[Moxtrain]

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

 

[Brew12]

Used to, but that was over 20 years ago.

 

[Vinman]

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

 

[Vinman]

Currently have 25 gallons of an IPA going smells wonderful

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

 

[Silent]

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]

Is that a kegerator

 

[Silent]

Yep. Ignore the nasty beer in the keg lol

 

[Vinman]

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]

Haven't done beer, but i have about 60 gallons of different wines going.;Smuggrin

 

[Vinman]

Ok I get the grape city haha

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.

 

[Crabs McJones]

Not a brewer, but definitely a drinker ;) If any of ya'll need a test dummy just let me know ;Hilarious;Hilarious

 

[Grape_City_Reefer]

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!

 

[Moxtrain]

Y'all are bottling 25 gallons of beer at a time? That's a serious time commitment. Standard long necks?

 

[Vinman]

This was the Stout we did last month we put a bunch of it in bombers so it's not so many bottles

 

[Kingsley_Reef]
