BigMac Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Does anyone here brew their own beer or wine? I just started; I've got 5 gallons (about 19 liters for you non-americans) of irish red ale fermenting in my closet. It's about ready to go into the secondary carboy (fermenter). It'll be drinkable in about two weeks. I was wondering if anyone else here homebrews, and if they do... if they've got any good recipes for me. I'm looking to make a thick, nasty stout. Something so thick and dark that it looks like fermented blood. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've never gone the stout path, but I've made a highly drinkable blueberry ale and a lager I would rather have used to mouthwash than a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac Posted August 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'm either going stout or I'm going to make a czech pilsner. The homebrew supply store in Austin (where I live) has a recipe for Staropramen... which is absolutely delicious; ask Deykari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfdude Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've always wanted to try it. My great-uncle makes this "wine" at his house. I use the term loosely because it tastes like brandy and is at least 80 proof. Some day I'll try it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Sweet ***, where does your uncle live, Elfdude? Brandy is probably one of my favorite alcohols to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeSeeU Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 He lives right across from the brandywine bridge ofcourse! What you didn't get that upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmm Coffee Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I used to brew but I haven't in quite a few years. I'll be getting back into it when I'm finished remodeling my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfdude Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 He lives waaaay out in the country in south-central wisconsin. Hes 89? JI think, and sylvia and himself are the two coolest old people you'll ever meet. They have an official cocktail hour.... at 1:30. If you want to kick it with them, show up before three because by 2:30 sylvia is wasted in her wheelchair and ed is talking so much **** its not even funny. If I ever live to be that old I hope im kickin it like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tantangel Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Wisconsin is a bit far, it's like a two day drive. I may have to look for a recipe like that though, that'd be some bad *** stuff to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I make my own brew too, and oddly enough all my recipes are five gallons also! My current favorite is my wonderful wonderful Honey Hefferfeisen. Deliscious and STRONG. I have to do my Bavarian heritage proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 My Irish Red Ale just went into the secondary carboy last night, and I gave it a taste. It's pretty good, even though I tasted the muck at the bottom rather than the clear beer at the top. It tastes like...beer. Delicious beer. I can't wait to have it finished.

Evangelion Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 By "tasted" you mean "swallowed a gallon in one gulp", don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 just a sip. I would've been very sick if I drank a lot of the muck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMac Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Its called wart! Jeez like you never worked in a brewery or anything.. It's actually called wort, but the wort is all of the liquid before it starts fermenting. The stuff at the bottom is just muck. It's basically yeast and hops. It makes this really sick green sludge.

BigMac Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 emp_newb' date=' i've come to the realization that you're a pathological liar. [/quote'] hm.. he doesn't know how to spell hefeweizen and claims to brew it. we demand pictures of your beer brewing gear with you holding up today's newspaper with "emp_newb" written on the front page in permanent marker. That'll settle this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'm either going stout or I'm going to make a czech pilsner. The homebrew supply store in Austin (where I live) has a recipe for Staropramen... which is absolutely delicious; ask Deykari. I know nothing about homebrewing. What I do know, is that Staropramen is absolutely amazing. Thank you for you introducing me to it, because my beer chiller is constantly filled with bottles of it... and I've even found a bar in my town centre that sells it now.

Guest emp_newb Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Wow, so I am now a liar? What ever lol. Give me til tommorow to get my pic up yea? If it fails to come up then by all means call me a liar, and a harlot to all your ****** hearts content. Ill even take a few pics of my "brewery" mugs, Each one has TMB engraved onto a small pewter plate, which means Ten Mile Brewery, Ill also put in a Growler from the stout that used to be brewed when a couple of us where involved in it, when it went down to just me I shortened how much was made, and what. And the kegorator. Any other requests for what will be in the pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeSeeU Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Heh, I knew this thread was soon going to focus on a ****waving contest of who does and doesn't brew beer from their house. I find it funny however... come on guys, were talking about brewing beer here, even if he is lying who cares... trust me when I say that you shouldn't be overly concerned with it. That only leads to an abundance of stress, stress is not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I just do not like having someone flat out call me out like that in front of a group of people who I have interacted with for like 4-5 years. So I get called out, Im gonna respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
