BrewShoes and other Beer Day Rituals

[TwoGunz]

Similar, pandora streaming through iPhone in the background, with the hbt app open as well, and ibrewmaster open.

iPhone has taken over on brewday, no more laptop

iPhone and ibrewmaster here too. I love that app.

Oh, and my brew thong of course. Nothing gets my krausen going like a spangled g-string.

The real key to ensure a strong, healthy fermentation.

I guess a "Beer Dance" to the Yeast-Gods couldn't hurt either.

brew crocs and hockey jersey from college.

 

[JohnnyO]

Usually a pair of jeans and comfortable but supportive sneakers. I've had one too many bad backs at the end of brewdays to wear my Chuck Taylors anymore.

One thing I stick to is that I don't have a beer until after the boil starts.

 

[Pappers_]

Always wear overalls. I make those things look sexy

 

[johnnybrew]

The consistent players are: crocs (with fuzzy inserts in the winter; without in the warmer months); BeerSmith; and, a homebrew in my hand.

 

[AlphaWolf-Brewery]

dang am I the only one who brews in the buff?

i realize i tend to do this... almost. i dont pop one open until i turn on the heat to get the boil going.

 

[JetSmooth]

I'm thinking the homebrew makes you think you make those look sexy.

But hey, whatever works for you.

Beer boxers and DFH shirt

 

[Brewenstein]

Shoes - depends on the season here (Chicago). I brew outside so it is anything from sneakers to sandals or barefoot like yesterday. About the only thing that I really like to do is have my recipe worked out and the water ready the night before. And I rarely have a beer before I begin chilling the wort. Most of the time it waits until I am completely done. I am too afraid of screwing something up if I drink while brewing, and I usually start brewing between 6 and 7 in the morning.

Lately,it's been slippers or barefoot. Shorts & one of my Hard Rock Cafe tee shirts from around the country. And we don't drink till we're done brewing. Otherwise,we're pretty busy brewing,sanitizing,whatever to where we don't feel much of a buzz. Kind of a waste of good brew.
Then,when all is said & done,it's out to the table in the shade for some cool ales.

For you I would go with a Fez.

"I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool."

My ritual apparently involves dorkyness...and flip flops. Though, since I just started brewing and brew outside, the flip flops may not be around in the colder months. No music, sadly. The wife and I brew together and have divergent tastes in music. The iPad is also always along for the ride. iBrewmaster FTW.

 

[Daybis]

When brewing I support a DFH shirt. Mostly because it's already got holes and stains from all of the other brew days it's been through.

 

[CompassBrewing]

I always brew on sundays and early enough to listen to brunch with bob and friends on our local 94.9 radio station. When that's over I continue with a reggea play list.
As for shoes-well I only own flip flops

 

[unionrdr]

I'm not made,for diggin deep holes. I'm not made,for pimpin' dem hoes...but I'm,pretty good at makin beer! lolz. There's a bleedin song for ya,yaahaar!

 

[Rivenin]

brew glass - if im' at home, it's the only one i'll drink out of.

also, pouring out a sample of the beer i have fermenting if it is in the buckets!

no other rituals as of yet, but i'm sure i'll get some!

 

[mountainbrewdude]

On brew day ill be in some sandals, year round, more than likely some plaid shorts and either a braves jersey or old ratty shirt. Ill have corey smith streaming on pandora, of course a few homebrews in!

 

[unionrdr]

you want a song? I'll give ye a bleedin' song-[ame="http://youtu.be/skWOB3se68Q"]http://youtu.be/skWOB3se68Q[/ame] Now there's a song,ye crack handed deck apes! Yaaaahahaaaa!

 

[Schemy]

Have to have my beer named before brewing begins. Two I've had named came out great, the rest i didn't have named, and not so much.

That and my odell t-shirt.

 

[Head413]

Other than cleaning the bejesus out of the kitchen and sportin crocs for the reasons already stated, I've yet to get a ritual going. Kind of. I never brew alone. Must have someone present, friend, family, kids, it doesn't matter. This process is a thing to share, to spread. I tell everyone that will listen about it.


PROST!

 

[uncommonsense]

First I sacrifice a cat. Then i always have a glass of scotch and water.
