Welcome back to the Other Llama.

Your coat and your spit were missed, but not for lack of aim.

That goes without saying.

That.

Turp, do the honours please.

Admit it. You like seeing that pic, don't ya?

The only thing I have failed with here is finding wit or intelligence in your responses. But I guess that was expected.

/me starts looking for Homebrew kits.

With my aforementioned mission, it should be!

I wonder what I could use to store the finished product....

Mason jars maybe?

Won't hold enough and it leaks, you should know that already.

C'man Tom, you are letting me down!

Grolsch bottles are said to be pretty good, but I am not too keen on them now that they have een popularized.

That and sterolizing them is probably a biatch.....

MULTIFAIL

Homebrewing is easy. Even cretins can brew beer.

Brewing a good beer is somewhat harder.

I gave away my homebrew kit as there wasn't enough room in the flat, and I don't get much time anymore.

Us scots just leave our piss in the sun for a while.

Why do you need a fridge?

I spend about $30-$45 a month depending on what I get.

I can easily spend that in a night if I go out (which I do from time to time, but not nearly as often as I did when single!).

She is just guilt tripping me on one of my vices. Between that and Video Games I am a regular hell raiser!!!!!

Anyway, fridge space to keep them cool or preserve them? Do you need one? I do not have a cellar, so I can't keep them at 50 F, so it would have to be a 60-65 F beer (works fine for stouts and stuff, but the lighter beers tend to tast a bit flat without alittle chill on them).


How difficult is it to make a general well rounded ale? Little hoppy, slight sweetness to it, full body, decent head and color? How expensive would it be, in general, to make the equivalent of a US case (24x12oz) ?

Hmm, all my clean living makes me want to turn all religious and get out a bible and go bash people with it, i assume other people holding the damn things are asking for a duel yes.

I've brewed good beer before.. Phils is easier to brew than ale. Some ales are cold fermented, so they set up a fridge just for fermenting.

I liked brewing my own beer, but the wife gave me the same grief as she does about me buying a bar "You'd be your own best customer". So that's the way the brewing went......

On another note, I've got 43 pounds of sauerkraut brewing in a 10 gallon crock in the basement at the present time.... Sunday will be 5 weeks & it should be just about ready!!!!

My father used to brew some interesting Ale when I was a kid. That all came to an end the time we went away for a long weekend and came back to find the heater that he used in the brew vat had slipped to the bottom. The heater had been warm enough that it melted through the bottom of the vat, 5 Gallons of almost ready beer soaked into his study carpet.

...*sniggers*...

Yeah, right......

You still drank it, right?


Oh, I know the grief I am getting now about buying cases will swap to something else. But whatever.

I was pretty sure a Pils would be easier, but most of them are kind of boring. What type of ales use cold ferment? What ones use the room-temp ferment? I would like to try some relatively simple stuff first before I spend $$ to fill my closets with crap that will just gather dust and complaints.

Speaking of which, anyone need a minidisk player or George Foreman grill?
(I wish I was kidding)

Just buy a home brew book - that'll tell you everything you need to know. I'll PM you the ISIN of the one I used when I'm at home tomorrow.
