Home Brewing
Anyone home brew? My daughter gave me a home brewing kit for Christmas. I have made my first batch of IPA. The picture below is 9 days after brew day. Fermentation was very active for 4-5 days. It has slowed. Airlock bubbling has slowed. Appears my yeast has eaten the sugars, peed alcohol and expelled CO2! Time to wait it out for another week and bottle for 2 more weeks.

Thirty plus years ago I tried it a couple of times Chris and admittedly with little success.
Had much more success with wine though.

In my youth I tried to home brew beer
I tried to brew beer which had between 3 and 3.5 % alcohol. Instead I ended up with root beer or more likely the Danish version "Hvidt øl" After a couple of attempt I gave up. Markus |

making sangria!I do miss my daughters job though, in the Napa tasting room at Mumm; fabulous 'sparkling wine'; she'd leave the half-empties with me after the tasting room closed, practically every day-for two years! the price was dead-right and ya gotta let it breathe anyway!

An elder friend in Coventry once brewed beer, and a lot of it. I guess he did not expect a bunch of germans visiting .. one evening was enough to drain the resources

Hmmmm...rootbeer beer... If you have any kits local to you give it a try again. The kit I used was well put together. Had everything needed to make a batch.

A Hefeweizen recipe and ingredients was just delivered which is great because a 3 gallon fermenter arrived as well. Let's make that fine German wheat beer.

OK, this will make the purists cringe, but a long time ago I was bottling a batch when I ran out of glass bottles.
All I had were some plastic two liter soda bottles and figured why not? I was going to pour the left-over proto-beer down the drain, anyway.. So, I cleaned and rinsed the plastic bottles then filled them and chucked them in the fridge after I made sure the caps were tight. It worked. The biggest benefit to "going plastic" was the bottoms of the plastic bottles, they were a natural yeast trap. |

fermentation beer releases polyethelene terephthalate, also known as PET which creates/leaches a carcingenic metalloid: antimony which increases as the temperature rises. There is beer in modern plastic containers, such as Heinekin at the Olympics venue where breakable glass bottles would be deemed a hazard. JUST SAYIN'!
