Who here home brews?


Recommended Posts

I used to be big into home brewing.

Kelly got me going with a starter kit - plastic buckets and an extract recipe.

Found I enjoyed the process and result.

As most things I find a passion for I dove in head deep.

After a bit was doing dozens of batches a year. Went to a 45 degree conical fermenter and C02 driven Cornelius kegs early on - bottling is for the birds...

With some encouragement from my local brew supply shop I started sending beers to competitions and working on my BJCP certification.

Actually won a few awards. This one the top:

It's been a few years since I've brewed though I still have all my gear. Maybe time to drag it all out and get brewing again!

I quit drinking when I got out of the military a few years ago..... But I still brew. I make Mead and wine. My claim to fame is cactus fruit mesquite Mead. That's what most of these are in the pic. Although I don't drink, I still really love the art form.

 

What do I do with it all? Give it away to friends and family. My cactus fruit Mead is rarely given out, mostly for special occasions. I try to make 5-10 gallons at a time, let it rest for a year or two and then give em out.

 

If anyone's in PA, I got a bottle for ya!
