Homebrew ?

[Detroitpete]

I have to tell you, one of the best ambers I ever had was a homebrew a fellow Highland Athlete brought to a games in Ohio. After we were done, he offered up a selection of an ale, an amber and something else. All I know is that deep red head stole my heart. I REALLY hope he's a member here!

Do we have any home beer brewers, winemakers or other on the forum?

One er two, I'm guessin'.

Add me to the list. Proud brewer of prize-winning pale ales, stouts and meads.

Quite thankful I am that the over-30C days are pretty much gone. I'll have the house back down to a good brewing temperature in a few weeks. I've got a bit of a stout planned -- SWMBO will kill me if I don't brew her favourite stout.

This summer has destroyed my stock of homebrews. (I usually take the summer off and enjoy). Last week finished drinking a batch of Pale Ale and Stout from last year.
Next up is a brown ale and another stout.

Avid All-grain brewer here myself.... been brewing for 4 years or so now..

Watch out it starts out as a hobby and turns into an obsession!!!!

Matter of fact i made a post in the Ohio section about doing a kilted brewday... not much response to it

I have a couple of friends who are teaching me. I made an amber ale for July 4 that got very good reviews from those who drank it. I like that I know who made the beer, where it was made, what went into it.

We're each going to make a batch and distribute as needed in growlers. I'd like to do a stout

We use Northern Brewer as their supplier.

I used to make apple cider when I was younger with a few friends of mine...

Take that cider and brewing yeast and it becomes "hard" cider. I made it a few times and it turned out great. Just very strong (depends on the recipe that you use) But the fresh cider is great.

Norther Brewer is a great MN company. I agree they are good, but I also have to add Midwest Homebrewing Supplies. They also are great to work with and often have free 1L growlers they send out for free with an order.

I've been homebrewing for almost a year now. I'm actually bottling my last batch tomorrrow -- a Scottish 70 shilling! I'm still brewing extract batches, but I do a full boil and have had great luck with all of my brews (other than one undercarbonated porter.) I also use NorthernBrewer as well as www.MoreBeer.com for my supplies. If folks are looking to get into the hobby, I highly recommend listening to some of the great podcasts out there. I'd suggest Basic Brewing Radio as well as the Brewing Network. The former is a more mild-mannered source of solid info, the latter can get a bit out of hand and off-topic, but they have a number of more "content focused" shows as well.
And I always brew kilted!

I guess I'll throw my cap into the ring here too as I have made a couple of homebrews. The first, a stout, turned out really great. But the second batch not so great. I haven't tried again mostly for the lack of time. But the kids are older now and I have more time in that regard. But that was long before I was bitten by the kilt bug. And the thoughts of brewing kilted are mighty interesting indeed -a kilted brew! I like that.
