Making Beer

[kazooom]

Too cold to work on the car.... so lets make beer .... anyone else make their own ?

I got a beer making kit for Christmas but haven't started yet.

My son is big into home brewing now. He designed a coffee table to match a pub table in his apartment. What do you think of it? We built it for a Christmas present for him, along with a couple store bought brews...

I had a Mr beer kit when I was in college. Made a few good brews. I want to start again and go bigger.

Have been brewing for years. I'm slowly gathering parts for a 3-vessel all electric system similar to this http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/
But do just fine with am igloo cooler mash tun and a turkey fryer.

Lots of great info over here http://www.homebrewtalk.com/

clhyer... what an awsome table.. I hope to turn a chest freezer into a beer fridge with beer taps on top and 2 kegs and a bottle of gas inside... have to finish my bike barn( man cave ) first

Tonight was siphoning from bucket to carboy... next week bottling.
I would have started another but ran out of sugar... doh!

I too am in to the home brewing scene, both all-grain and extract. I've had some hits but I have also had to pour out 5 gallons of beer in the early years too. Here's some pics of brew days and my serving setup. I used to bottle, but kegging is the way to go. So much faster to carbonate, less mess, less bottles to deal with, and there's just some sort of enjoyment of pulling a beer fresh off the tap. :glasses7:

Not much into making beer, but I am a hell of a tester!!!

i brewed my own for years but not anymore.
took it to the next level by filtering and built my own carbonation system as well.
always substituted honey for glucose.
still have a few bottles of my own brewed honey mead left too,it's about 25 years old now

Never tried beer, but I'm getting huge into mead... Made a few batches here and there as a kid, but only recently got really into it. Just carboy'd my first batch, but need to rack it after about two more weeks for clarity and such. Got a few more batches going at the moment as well, but they're still in the ferment stage. Thieved a taste of the first batch and it nearly put me on my ***!!

Thanks, that was the whole reason I went to kegs. No more bottles and priming sugar. And if I do want to take a sixer somewhere, just fill them straight from the tap, cap, and go.
