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.

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

  • 3 weeks later...

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 :wave:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
