I like homebrew...

Homebrew is tasty. I know a lot of people don't like bottling because of the hassle, but I love bottling because if I want to have 4-5 beers, but don't want to keep drinking the same thing I can have a different beer every 12 oz.

I know if you keg you can just pull off of 4-5 different kegs and get the same effect, but I only have room for one keg at the moment. I still love home brew either way though. Here's to making your own damn beer!

 

By the way, those retards don't know how to "cheers". They're spilling their beer everywhere!

 

Here, here! I will drink to that! Literally... I'm drinking right now. Oh, the joys being on the night shift.

 

I will definitely second that thought! I love coming home after a crappy shift at the hospital lab (like last night! Damn flu season!) and cracking open one, two or (.. well never mind) homebrews before heading off to bed. I also love having something yummy (i.e. NOT BREAKFAST) to eat after work.

I like homebrew for breakfast, something dark and bitter like coffee, but not coffee, it's homebrew.

 

I worked 3rd shift for almost 15 years and I used to love sitting on a lawn chair next to a hot grill at 8am cooking up a steak drinking a beer and waving to the neighbors going to work.:cross:

 

I still love homebrew, but I'm trying to expand my palate. The wife did a wine tasting with me tonight, so I feel pretty good...

 

one of these two are doing it wrong.

 

I like bottling! It's FUN. I can have twelve different kinds of beer in the house and choose amongst them. KotC and I bottle together, and we have a real rhythm going on it. It's very ZEN! LOL!

Besides it's easier to give somebody a bottle or two to try at THEIR house than to clean MY house and have them over here.

 

Aaaah, breakfast stout… I think we have something, at least one thing, in common my dear.

 

I knew I had to get off third shift when the counter drone at the 7-11 accused me of having a drinking problem because I was buying beer at 8 am.

 

I like bottling too. It's not so bad once you get your system down. I am frequently on the go, so it's AWESOME that I can take some cold homebrews with me. Got a small cooler in the truck, and I can share beers with coworkers after work, or friends at the beach. I don't have to worry about a big electric bill from a kegorater. Right now I've got 4 different kinds of homebrew in the fridge. Couldn't be happier!

Bottling is a very "zen" experience - ommmmm -

I have a good rhythm down - bottles on bottling tree to my left, bottling bucket/wand in front of me, I'm seated on a low chair with a cushion - I alternate which hand grabs a fresh bottle, fill, hand off to KOTC, he caps them and arranges them to his satisfaction in the conditioning bin. We're a good beer brewing/bottling team!

 

You should try brewing your own mead sometime. It's a fairly easy process, especially with small batches. I still haven't had a proper commercial mead, but my buddy and I who brew independently and pool our stuff together for good-time-shenanigan-nights have done a batch. they weren't exceptional, but I think we both fermented really warm and got some terrible phenol flavors (and that was our first ever time fermenting something. Heh... We used Fleischman's... :smack: )

It also sounds like a real ***** magnet. "Oh baby, is that a honey wine???". Throw something like Jack Keller's Rose Petal Wine to your escapades and you're probably bound to have some fun.

 

I've got my first batch going right now.

 

Nice :rockin: I need to get some Belgian yeast to do a run of BOMM. This time I'm going to actually control temperatures, too. That warm fermentation taste is not pleasurable.
