Do You Do Homebrew?

[uneekwahn]

Do you do homebrew, and if so, how do you do it?

I put my first homebrew batch down on the 8th of October and I'm bottling it this coming weekend. It was a Canadian Blonde (Coopers) kit and I threw in 400gm of Tassie leatherwood honey!

hey guys

yeah i use to do it with my mates dad, man its was good no hangover or anything coz it had no preservatives.

man if you only put it in on the 8th of october i would be leaving it a lil longer as it still gets cold at night and this can make it take a lil longer to carbonate.

the trick was once it stops bubbling, give it another week and it will be awsome. also when u bottle it leave it for another 2 or 3 weeks before u drink it as to let it carbonate and seal in the bottle. easy as pie mate

what i use to do was get a good batch up. we had at one stage something like 40 cartons sittin in the cubby/brew house. always drink the oldest ones first .

was really good after i got a bit better at mixing the brew, first batch was a bit hoppy. but after about 20 or 30 brews u start knowin ur shit.

Hangover is caused by excessive dehydration due to alcohol consumption izzin't it? Well.. that's what i was told.

I bottle my own beers, various type. I have 3 fermenters going.

Its good stuff!

yeah hangovers are caused by dehydration but only the head ache, the sick in the guts and stuff is caused by preseveratives. turst me been drunk on home brew many times, u still know u been drinking the night before but its nothing like a hangover from 12 beers of production beer.

its good cozu feel a lil queezy but after some food and water ur tip top

homebrewing is the only way to go mum made the mistake of buying dad and i a coopers kit for chrissy and now we drink nothing else i run a heat pad and insulated box normally goes thru in a week ya gotta let it sit in the bottles at least a month otherwise its fairly green

im thinking keg system will be on this years chrissy list

A few mates mates decided to do get one of those coopers homebrew kits from supavalue it was fun making it and couldn’t wait until it was ready to drink. The day finally came, what a let down. First of all checked the alcohol content, 0.002%, then time for the taste test, mmmm water lol. We are yet to do another batch, but for now the bottle shop looks good. Cant wait until exams are over
