• Homebrew!

    From Chickenhead@VERT to All on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 15:34:01
    Oh and I'd also like to ask...anyone doing homebrew? Not computers, Hackintoshes or anything like that I mean making your own booze?

    Once upon a time I wanted to make my own wine. Ended up making mead instead. Found it so easy and rewarding I doubt I'll ever get around to making wine. Just racked some nice tangerine mead. Looking forward to raspberry season so I can do a big six-gallon batch of raspberry mead.

    It's been a hot minute since I've fired up the Ironghast Manufactorum to brew some beer. All my equipment has been packed away (along with my kegerator) for over a year at this point, and I wonder if I even know where everything is...

    Maybe I'll clean up the basement and start hauling the gear out to make sure everything is still workable...

    One of these days I'll get around to beer. But I'll probably do a hops-based mead first since it's a close step to that. Honey is plentiful around where I am so mead is cheap and easy. I don't use sulphites either...the wife reacts to anything with sulphites.

    I've never looked into homebrewing. A colleague of mine is mulling over the thought of doing it. We just had mead today at our local meadery.

    It's delicious.

    I love the traditional most. If I have any other flavors, I usually blend them.

    Today I had traditional/dragonfruit/peach

    It was goooooooooooood.

    Anyway, my coworker is lookign at doing it the 'right way' and is considering a $1000 rig to get started.

    Then, of course, there's ingredients.

    My father used to make wine, however it's way too easy to buy it when there
    are 15 wineries, 5 distilleries and 4 or 5 micro breweries within 10 miles of my house. My current drink is raspberry hard cider and a raspberry/ chipotle variant with a bit of heat in the after taste.

    That's cool. No one in my family does anything with alcohol. My family outside the organic are all super devoted seventh day adventists. They're so... Ugh No there's NOTHING interesting in my family that I can point at and relate to. And there's definitely no one doign anything cool such as winemaking.

    My city, Rancho Cordova, CA is a cool spot because our city council actively pursues businesses attempting to get a hold in the area by providing low rent options where vacancies are. As a result, we have a growing distillery, brewing, and meading industry. They've even marketed our city as the 'Barrel District.' It's badass.

    We have yet to see a winery pop into this city but hopefully they'll come. Needless to say, I no longer purchase alcohol that isn't locally made. And I haven't bought wine in years.

    So yes, I can relate with you.

    Believe or not, Southwest Michigan has great soil and weather for growing frui t and grapes. Some farmers are experimenting with growing hops. After California began entering wine competitions overseas, some Michigna vitners also gave it a try. Tabor Hill's wines have been served at the White House since the Ford administration, and Bob Hope used to buy a case or two of demi-sec a year. A little town near me is central to all the wineries, and went from being building after building of machine shops and metal
    fabrication to public houses, tasting rooms, brew pubs and distilleries. We g et alot of tourist traffic from Illinois, especially Chicago. Greenbush, Haymarket, Tapestry, Round Barn, Three Blondes, and Lehmans Farms are all
    local beers. Tabor Hill, Hickory Creek, St Julian, Twelve Corners, Domaine Berrien, Free Run, Gravity, Pheasant Run, Founders, Round Top, Dablon, Lemon Creek and Arrowhead Farms /Chill Hill are local wine brands. Hard ciders and distilled spirits are also gaining ground. A couple of distilleries switched over to making hand santizer when the Rona panic started. IIRC it has to be 160 proof to kill stuff other than brain cells.

    I do, but I cheat by using Mr Beer kits. They're easy to use and you can
    make it as easy or complex as you like and it turns out some pretty good
    brews.

    I also did wine from a box, it contains the juice and all the chemicals you need and turned out really well. I have another on the go but I have
    neglected it and the CO trap went dry so it's probably ruined and I'll have
    to throw it out.

    It can be time consuming especially the bottling process but I bought stuff
    to make it easier. I like dark, strong beers, not hoppy and I don't like coffee, so I can add extra yeast and sugar to increase alcohol content on
    some of the German style beers.

    I've got 4 of the Mr Beer LBKS (Little Brown Kegs), I think they make 5
    gallons each and you end up with about 20-23 12oz bottles at the end, almost enough for a case.

    Funny thing you mwntion dark beers. I've been trying out varous brewers versions of imperial stouts. Evil Czech's Joseph Stalin is pretty tasty, and Lehman's Farmhouse Imperial Stout is closer source of stout happiness.

    I have a good friend who established his own distillery to make "legal moonshine." I'm a regular customer.

    But where I am, mead doesn't exist. I know in the US there appears to be a lot of it but not where I am. I've got so many sources of honey around me I might as well just dive in right?

    There's more than one way to make it...wine-style, like I do..."braggot" which is basically a 7% alcohol beer...and of course with fruit (a "melomel").

    There is a web site called "Storm The Castle" that has a very basic and very effective mead recipe that anyone can do. That is where I got started. And I still use that recipe, refined down to about 2 1/2 months of fermentation time.

    For the mead I do (usually in 5gal batches) the racking into bottles goes pretty quick. Obviously you need to have a lot of old wine bottles kicking around...which I do.

    I think my mead ends up around 14%. I've never gone through the process of trying to increase it beyond that..honestly if it makes my cheeks red, that's enough for me. An old italian wine-maker taught me that one!

    I live in the northwest US, and I don't recall when the last time I saw mead sold anywhere.. I'm not much of an alcohol drinker though. But the last time I saw mead anywhere was in the UK when I visited in 2013 - And that was the first time I had ever heard of mead.

    i live in the midwest and i'd have to say mead is very not popular here. i'm sure if i went into a specialty store i might find 2 types of it if i looked real hard.

    Mead is a bit of an old school drink. It's also referred to as honey wine. Imagine a bunch of Vikings drinking and mead is what they are drinking. It's one of the earlier and simpler concoctions, and not something that would
    appeal to mainstream modern tastes.

    Only posting because I, also, live in the northwest... but local places like McMinnemins and other locals are serving mead for the past year or so - I thought it was weird too, but I've had a few different kinds. IMO they mostly all suck, but if its yer cup of tea you can find options in Oregon and Washington.

    The other day I bought some Kolsch from Lehmans. Kolsch is a tasy but not overly strong tasting beer which you could probably get by with appealing
    most party goer's tastes. A local tavern with a couple hundred beers on tap, and during the summer they sell a bunch of pre-mixed shandies in a can. A shandy is a concoction of beer mixed with a carbonated beverage. The common version people see is a Radler. It gets it's name from bicyclers who want a lighter drink than straight beer, and the mix is of a pilsner or kolsch mixed with a carbonated lemonade or lemon lime such as Sprite or 7-up. I bought
    some kolsch because I want to try out a drink called a Dirtbag. It's kolsch and cola, preferably Coke. Several of the local taverns sell a kolsch, so
    for grins I thought it would be cool to ask for a dirtbag, and see if they would mix me one. I've read where the basic mixture is 50-50, however I want to tweak it for my own taste before I give the recipe to bartenders.

    Got to say that I agree with this... :-)

    I've tried a lot of beers, including all "mainstream" ones, and a
    lot of the "craft" (foo-foo) beers. To be honest, my favorite
    beer is Miller High Life (the Champagne of Beers). A fairly close
    second is Pabst Blue Ribbon. Not kidding.

    Some people think those are crap beers. I will say that I dislike
    nearly all of the "cheap" beers such as Natural Lite, Keystone,
    Schlitz, etc. Won't buy them, won't drink them. But the High
    Life and the PBR, those taste like what a beer should be, to me.

    I don't like beer.. And any flavored beer I've tried still tastes a bit like beer to me, and I've never found a beer that I've liked. I don't really feel good after drinking beer either.

    The other day I bought some Kolsch from Lehmans. Kolsch is a tasy but no overly strong tasting beer which you could probably get by with appealing most party goer's tastes. A local tavern with a couple hundred beers on and during the summer they sell a bunch of pre-mixed shandies in a can.


    so whats wrong with regular beer? why do people want to drink beer that tast like turpentine and chocolate and coffee?

    A shandy is more or less a cocktail that uses beer for the alcohol content
    and flavor. It's not that much different than mixing a rum and coke or a
    7-7.

    There's nothing wrong with a regular beer. Everyone has their particular tastes. Some like them hopped up, while others aren't into hops for flavor.
    I like stouts and dark beers, however they are not something I will partake
    in consuming mass quantities of. For regular factory brew, I find Miller Genuine Draft a good choice for drinking while sitting on a porch, enjoying a breeze. It's about fitting the beer to the situation.

    I don't like beer.. And any flavored beer I've tried still tastes a bit lik beer to me, and I've never found a beer that I've liked. I don't really fee good after drinking beer either.


    did you ever try miller highlife? i dont like beer either but i can tollerate highlife. infact, i dont like any type of alcohol but i drink it sometimes.

    sometimes when i go out to eat and have certain types of food beer hits the spot, though.

    I've tried a lot of beers, including all "mainstream" ones, and a
    lot of the "craft" (foo-foo) beers. To be honest, my favorite
    beer is Miller High Life (the Champagne of Beers). A fairly close

    bit like beer to me, and I've never found a beer that I've liked. I
    don't really feel good after drinking beer either.

    My first drink of beer was when I was about 10 Years Old.

    I met a boy who lived a couple of blocks away from my house and we went
    to his home to play in his backyard.

    His Mom was sitting on the back porch drinking a beer and offered Her Son
    a drink from the bottle.

    After he took a swig or two, the Mother asked me if I wanted to drink some
    too.

    I took a sip from the bottle and didn't like the taste of it.

    As a youngster I had a few other tries at trying to see if another Brand
    of beer tasted better than what I recalled it being like when I took that
    first drink, but never liked the taste of any of them, so I never took a
    drink from a beer bottle (or glass) since.

    When another boy told me we were old enough (16? or 16-1/2?) to buy
    'near beer' and we could buy them at a beer joint, I told him "no thanks,
    I don't care for the taste of the stuff".

    I waited outside while he went in and drank one of them.

    That's my experience.

    Got to say that I agree with this... :-)

    beer is Miller High Life (the Champagne of Beers). A fairly close

    Some people think those are crap beers. I will say that I dislike
    nearly all of the "cheap" beers such as Natural Lite, Keystone,
    Schlitz, etc. Won't buy them, won't drink them. But the High
    Life and the PBR, those taste like what a beer should be, to me.


    ... It's a chain saw. I always carry one for emergencies.

    High Life is what I should've said instead of MGD. My sister's boyfriend drinks it, and as mentioned it is way better than several big brand beers. Before the mico brews took off, I was not a beer drinker because of the taste of some big brand beers. There might be something in Budweiser I'm allergic to. I'm more of a special occasion drinker than a person who buys the cheap stuff and drinks mass quantities every day.

    Are there any liquors or spirits you do enjoy? I used to choose beer over mixed drinks and wine not only because of the price, but also when a beer becomes too tasty or goes down way too easy, it meant it was time to mind my pints and quarts.

    Don't know about that. I do know that it's Miller High Life's

    I'm not sure Heinekin is considered an "import" any more. I get the impression the stuff we get in the US is brewed over here by Anhueser Busch.
    Fosters Lager is brewed and bottled by Molson in Canada. Bud Lite sold in Canada is bottled by Molson, so I'm assuming Molson is owned by AB.

    I wonder if there is a taste differnce between a Fosters from AUS vs a US /Canadian bottle? From what I understand Cadbury chocolate tastes completely different in the US as it does in Europe. US chocolate taste is very course w hile the chocolates I've tried from Switzerland and Germany have been less grainy and more buttery smooth. I blame it on the oompa loompas Forrest Mars brought into the US to make his chocolate.

    I've never been much into beer, but I wouldn't be too surprised. I've heard from fans of Guiness that they think Guiness from Ireland or Europe overall tastes better than Guiness in the US.

    From what I understand Cadbury chocolate tastes
    completely different in the US as it does in Europe. US chocolate taste is very course w hile the chocolates I've tried from Switzerland and Germany have been less grainy and more buttery smooth. I blame it on the oompa loompas Forrest Mars brought into the US to make his chocolate.

    I visited a Nestle chocolate factory in Switzerland once in 1998, and while I thought it was very good, I didn't think it was noticeably different from chocolate in the US. Most chocolate in the US I've had actually seems fairly smooth. Some of my favorite US chocolate is Hershey's and "World's Finest" (I've often seen World's Finest sold for fundraising, such as with the Boy Scouts).

    Some of my favorite chocolate I've had was in Brazil. There's a chain of chocolate shops in Brazil called Cacao Show that I think makes some very good chocolate. I've also visited some local chocolate shops in Campos do Jordao in Brazil, which I thought was some of the best.

    If a piece of chocolate is coarse, it seems to me it's probably because it has a low cocoa content. I've had some low-cocoa chocolate that I thought was very coarse.

    That's funny. I think with enough clever marketing they can create the illusion or mystique about any product. Jagermeister in the US has been a
    a popular drink in colleges because of a clever marketing guy who wanted to find a market for a drink normally consumed by asmall minority of old German men.

    a big problem with beer is uv light for bottles, and letting beer get warm a cold and warm and cold,etc.

    The first refrigerator train cars were designed by breweries to transport beer.

    My father told me his father and uncles would stre beer in the cellar, and would drink it at the cellar room temperature. While it would feel like it
    was mcuh cooler in the cellar, I doubt the temperature was below 65 degrees
    F.

    We were broke in college - there was a whole industry of sub-$3.50

    White and Blue - and we drank them all.

    PBR tastes a little soapy to me, but Miller High Life reminds me
    pleasantly of a couple of dive bars in San Francisco I used to
    frequent. It's definitely in a class by itself, cheap as some of the
    bad beers, but better/different than Bud/Coors/etc.

    I'm not sure Heinekin is considered an "import" any more. I get the impression the stuff we get in the US is brewed over here by Anhueser Busch.
    Fosters Lager is brewed and bottled by Molson in Canada. Bud Lite
    sold in Canada is bottled by Molson, so I'm assuming Molson is owned by AB.

    Apparently Guinness in North America is "imported" from Canada.

    I wonder if there is a taste differnce between a Fosters from AUS vs a
    US /Canadian bottle?

    I'm sure. Irish friends of mine who came over and had a Guinness were
    disappointed.

    From what I understand Cadbury chocolate tastes
    completely different in the US as it does in Europe. US chocolate
    taste is very course w hile the chocolates I've tried from Switzerland
    and Germany have been less grainy and more buttery smooth.

    Very true. I read a story that Hersheys introduced their dark
    chocolate bars when they tried to move into the Chinese market.
    American Hersheys was too sweet.





    I blame it
    on the oompa loompas Forrest Mars brought into the US to make his chocolate.

    But where I am, mead doesn't exist. I know in the US there appears to b lot of it but not where I am. I've got so many sources of honey around I might as well just dive in right?

    I live in the northwest US, and I don't recall when the last time I saw mead heard of mead.

    Nightfox


    Mead is a bit of an old school drink. It's also referred to as honey wine. Imagine a bunch of Vikings drinking and mead is what they are drinking.
    It's one of the earlier and simpler concoctions, and not something that would
    appeal to mainstream modern tastes.


    Have to disagree. Mead can be made much like a beer (braggot) or like a wine. It comes out tasting somewhere in between, and not sweet at all. Mix in fruit and you have a melomel. My cherry melomel is pretty much on par with the cherry wine I got from the nearby vinyard, minus all the sulphites and other junk that goes in to wine making.

    It is dead simple to make, and the result is surprisingly good.

    There isn't much commercial mead where I live and the one that I did manage to try was terrible..more suited for pancakes than drinking.

    There's a commercial brewery not far from me tht makes the braggot version of mead...they used to stock the local renaissance faire's pub with it.

    Guinness is my "other" favorite daytime beer, but you need to be in a
    pub in the UK for proper effect.

    what is a daytime beer? something for alcoholics?

    Depends on how frequent and if drinking is within a reasonable amount during the week. A couple drinks during the week doesn't make an alcoholic. A alcoholic is someone that lets alcohol tell the person they have to drink.

    I'm with you on that. I'm not much of a spinach fan either.

    I like spinach in some things. One of my favorite things with spinach is spanikopita - A Greek savory pastry with a filling of spinach and cheese (usually cheeses like cream cheese, feta, etc.). This is one recipe for spanikopita, for example:
    https://www.food.com/recipe/greek-spinach-pie-spanikopita-436081
    If you have any Greek restaurants near you that might serve it, I'd recommend trying some if you haven't already. But if you really don't like spinach, maybe it wouldn't be something you'd like.

    With some people it's an altered state of consciousness. They become a different person and don't recall any of it. It mmakes it harder to admit hav ing a problem if they don't recall how much they hurt people around them. If you have an alcoholic and want to eventually intervene, take video of when
    they are outside of their normal behavior. Some will get embarassed while others will get mad, as if you're picking on their problem.

    That's true. Now that I read it again, it makes sense. I just didn't know what he meant at first by "with Chinese".

    And it's not just the carry-out dishes, but the dine-in dishes too. The carry-out dishes are usually the same as the ones they serve in the restaurant..

    I think the flavor of ginger goes well with broccoli. And one thing I like to cook at home sometimes is a type of stir-fry with chicken & a few vegetables (including broccoli) with chicken broth, ginger, and garlic. One thing about broccoli is the broccoli florets will absorb a bit of the chicken broth, and along with the ginger (and garlic), I think the combination of flavors is good. I tend to like broccoli though..

    that doesnt mean the stores and bars treat the beer correctly, though.

    The best bar beer ever is in Bloom's Tavern on Potrero Hill in San
    Francisco - they're 5 blocks away from the Anchor Brewery.

    The neighborhood bars' Anchor Steam on tap tastes significantly
    better than any other bar I know of - I'm assuming they get it
    straight from the brewery and it never makes it into the supply
    chain.

    San Francisco bars also got Anchor's 1800's-style Spruce beers and
    their holiday beers, as well as a barleywine that I didn't see much
    elsewhere.

    There was Butterfields Brewery in Fresno we used to like to go to that was t same way. It was always so tasty straight from the tap. Drooling just thinki about it.....


    ... MultiMail, the new multi-platform, multi-format offline reader!

    Anchor Steam is an interesting company. They are pretty high tech in
    that they have their own special strains of yeast, so right off the bat
    it would be hard home brewers to nail the recipe down. I watched a
    tech show that visited their facility, and the owner really liked to

    Looks like raspberries and pinto beans as far as the most fiber per serving. That's quite a bit. If this chart is accurate, that's a detailing lead of information for anyone interested in fiber and weight loss.

    I've never heard that about rice.

    Also good for sleep.

    that's because it's high carb.

    Doesn't stop people from eating cereal. :)

    You'd think so, but it's really not true. Brocolli has 3 times
    the amount of fiber that celery does. Celery has very little
    nutritional value at all.

    Considering that celery has basically no flavor, that actually
    makes sense.

    I think it has some decent flavor, and enjoy eating it now and
    then. It's just not a very nutritional thing, but useful for
    "party foods" like dipping into humus, or cheese. I also like it
    diced up small and mixed with tuna/mayo for a tuna salad sammich.

    With some people it's an altered state of consciousness. They become a different person and don't recall any of it. It mmakes it harder to admi ing a problem if they don't recall how much they hurt people around them. you have an alcoholic and want to eventually intervene, take video of whe they are outside of their normal behavior. Some will get embarassed whil others will get mad, as if you're picking on their problem.


    oh i believe they recall it and they know what they are doing.
    they just like to get drunk and dont care about the consequences.

    You would be surprised. I've known a few alcoholics that are nice people when they are sober, then get mean when they get drunk. They wonder why their
    kids and wife are afraid of them or do not want to be around them.

    Celery is fine by itself or in other dishes. I think I mentioned dill

    Looks like raspberries and pinto beans as far as the most fiber per serving. That's quite a bit. If this chart is accurate, that's a
    detailing lead of information for anyone interested in fiber and
    weight loss.

    i can attest to that... i lost 50 pounds (3.57 stone, 22.68 kg) quite readily when i went on a(n involuntary) diet of pinto beans for a while... when i couldn't keep my 36 inch waist pants up with my belt, i knew something
    was up... a quick step on the scales told the story and i was no longer pushing 200 pounds (14.29 stone, 90.7kg) but was back to my youthful 150 where i'd been trying to get back to for the last decade... if i knew that beans
    were the real answer, i'd have done the "endless pot'o'beans" thing much sooner ;)

    When I have a shot of bourbon I start telling my friends I love them, then I fall asleep. Alcohol does me very bad, which is why I take not much of it.

    while...

    I also had to go on an involuntary diet. Not exactly sure why but anything with gluten did not sit well with me, and as I learned gluten is pretty much in anything and everything that is a "real" food. I lost so much weight over the two years I was gluten free, getting to the thinest I've ever been in my life.

    Eventually I slowly intoduced gluten back into my diet and I seem to be ok with it now. I could stand to loose a some weight again. Maybe I should go gluten free again or may be try your method.

    Yeah it's pretty bland on its own but I thoroughly like the little flavour it does posess. For my own use, the strings are removed with a vegetable peeler then finely grated. This goes well in salad, soup, sushi rolls, quinoa, etc. For
    this to work, the celery must be fresh.

    Other uses: celery seeds

    I like to mash the seeds in a motar & pestel and add it to soup, meatloaf, burgers, taco meat, nut butters (sometimes), marinade (both dry and wet).

    Other uses: celery root (celeriac)

    Mashed like potatoes for a low carb alternative, grated for salad.

    You're looking at it from a normal, rational point of view. The serious alcoholics have either psychological or chemical problems in their brains
    that trigger the urge to drink, or tell them when to stop. It becomes an
    issue where it is no longer a casual activity, and becomes a physical
    or emotional addiction.

    homebrew is the subject when we were talking about homebrew.

    I could use a cup of freshly brewed ice tea.

    it's not a person.

    Perhaps you could make that for me.


    perhaps you can put down the crack pipe

    You're looking at it from a normal, rational point of view. The serious alcoholics have either psychological or chemical problems in their brains that trigger the urge to drink, or tell them when to stop. It becomes an issue where it is no longer a casual activity, and becomes a physical
    or emotional addiction.


    i'm not talking about addiction. i'm talking about the people's actions when they drink.

    I think broccoli is okay with cheese, but I actually like broccoli
    better with a bit of butter and a little dab of lemon juice on it.

    Throw some Adobo on it too.

    Isn't adobo a whole dish in itself? I've had some adobo that someone made once and I think it had either chicken or beef..

    -1. I like Brocolli. It's peas that are nasty as hell. Not sure how people eat those. I can kind of get by with frozen or in Chinese food, but the ones in the can are straight from the pits of hell.

    I generally like peas, but there are different types of peas. The ones I usually like most are the ones that are a bit sweet-tasing and somewhat firm until you bite them. I also like pea pods.

    Did you eat anything else besides beans to lose the weight or did
    that just assist in the process?

    beans, garlic and onions, mainly... if i was able to, i'd grab a package of pork neckbones and add them, too... then also for later, popcorn... no melted butter...

    I've heard that beans are also good for the heart.

    so they say :)

    If you had a "belly" at 200lbs, then it was a rather small belly 'cuz the waist measurement is supposed to be at the belly-button level, not the hip bone (where most belts would gravitate).

    I was nearly 200lbs at one point 2 years ago and the proper waist
    measurement was over 40in, but I was using 34" belts well below the belly button level.

    Now I am closer to 175lbs, my post-secondary edu weight.

    People sometimes use food and alcohol to cope through a hard time. So I'm not sure food/alcohol would really be considered a burden in those times..

    The burden being on the people that have to be around those types of people. It's a heavy one to carry. People don't understand how much it really puts on a person.

    Ahh, something to add to the beans. Not a bad idea for a weight loss diet. Popcorn is okay without the butter. I like salt which isn't the greatest idea as your fingers or feet my swell up, mostly for the added taste.

    Hello Rampage!

    If you had a "belly" at 200lbs, then it was a rather small belly 'cuz the waist measurement is supposed to be at the belly-button level, not the hip bone (where most belts would gravitate).

    I weighed about 180lbs back then with a belt size of about 32" at the hip bone. Got some weight to lose. Got a new workout machine to exercise the arms and legs mostly. Most of my weight are in my legs because muscle weight as I do most walking as I don't drive and move around mostly by walking. I don't really run or haven't in awhile.

    I was nearly 200lbs at one point 2 years ago and the proper waist measurement was over 40in, but I was using 34" belts well below the belly button level.

    Now I am closer to 175lbs, my post-secondary edu weight.

    Also depends on height. I measure at 6'.

    I was around 150 pounds at the end of school, now about 170, but no belly. I did get to 180 at one stage in my early 40s, but have now stabilised around the 170 mark. I also have most of my weight in the lower body, though I do have some half decent arms and shoukders now. My weight distribution is mostly because of my training as a sprinter in recent years.

    Also depends on height. I measure at 6'.

    I'm around 5'9"
