Favorite Brewing Music

[brewhead]

Yeah Baby! Bridge of Sighs is my all-time RT favorite. Nobody does it like that anymore.

i saw ronbin trower at a local blues club here. i was about 8 feet away - and was mesmerized.

Frank Zappa makes for some pretty good brewing tunes. ******* and Beer is just a fantastic track, as is most of Joe's Garage.

Susie...Susie Creamcheese? We heard you were new in town, and were wondering if...

 

[Franiblector]

brazilian girls

led zeppelin

of course after a fatty

 

[sudsmonkey]

Fatty ? What's this fatty of which you speak? You don't listen to Marley too ,do you? Stand up for your your rights!

 

[El Pistolero]

Are you a fan of Manu Chao by chance?

Ok, I'm convinced. This is definately on my brew day playlist. Thanks again, cheese man! Been playing it over and over again.

My last brew session didn't have a soundtrack, and I forgot to wear my "brewing hat" (an leather Aussie made Outback style hat, complete with Crocodile teeth) so my beer is suffering for it. The previous batch was Keller Williams, Sam Phillips, Trey Anastasio, Phish, Ben Folds and Ben Harper themed. The next brew will probably feature some harder edged stuff like 3 Doors down, Cake, Buck Cherry, the Hold Steady, Gorillaz, Span...

And one day soon, I'll be doing an entire brew session to the music of the Talking Heads. THAT should be a cool beer!!!

I apologize if this thread exists somewhere else...I did a quick search and did not see anything.

I can't function in any activity without music (it drowns out the voices)....but homebrewing just seems to lend itself to it (plus, I think it makes the beer taste better).

Being outside, big ol' steamin pot of wort - it just doesn't happen without some kind of music blasting from the 'brew cave' speakers.

What's your poison? When brewing on Sundays, I can't resist putting on some good ol' Gospel Bluegrass (especially to appease my camping neighbors at the KOA sites not 20 feet from my brewery)..mix it in with some Good Ole' Grateful Dead, Reggae and various geetar pickin...I'm dancin like a fool around the ol' brewpot.

Do you jam while brewing? If so, what's your inspiration?

Peace,

P.S. being a professional computer geek who is almost embarrassed to ask....how are you guys setting up your sig lines with your brews? I know I could figure it out, but I'm sure the solution is much more elegant and incredibly simpler than what I would come up with

P.P.S I'm sure some of you have noticed my annoying sig tag....what does it mean? It means that i'm a live bootleg addict, and I love trading/giving away/making copies of all these wonderful recordings I've been blessed with.....see anything you like? Just ask, and I'll tell you how you can get a copy exactly like the one I have in exchange for a few blank CDS and postage.

 

[Vermicous]

With six hour brew days, I scrouged together an old TV and dvd player. I watch about two movies while doing the brew now, usually something violent.

 

[Torchiest]

I wear my new mp3 player while brewing, which passes the time quite well. I listen to a mix of indie rock, electronica, and industrial music.

 

[Cheesefood]

If you like reggae, try Buju Banton. His older stuff is teh shiz!

I'm going to have to change my listening habits when I go all grain. The extended brewing time will give me more listening time. I put an old CD player in the garage, so I'll listen to old discs until summer, when I can brew and listen to baseball games.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

Had this one not too long ago, was under tunes not music, probably while you didn't see it.

FOr me? I like Traditional Irish, usually paul brady, andy irvine or some christy moore. I also do Willie, Phish and Paul SImon

 

[GoatFarmersInternational]

Not to be too ridiculous, but... I listen to old Noam Chomsky lectures. It's just something that happened by chance the first time I brewed, and I've done it every brew day since. I usually eventually get mad and/or a little drunk, and decide to switch to something soothing, like bela fleck. Some good old timey Gospel Bluegrass could be just what the doctor ordered for next brew day, any recommendations?

 

[rdwj]

I don't really listen to anything. Sometimes I put the TV on, but that's about it.

 

[Fingers]

Hard rock. I listen to Squizz on my XM radio. I'm 42 years old and my 16 year old son and I listen to the same music. I have a 20G MP3 player that we store music on and we back everything up on a dedicated hard drive just for music.

I don't wanna grow up yet...

:rockin:

I've got Squizz on right now here at work.

But to the question, we usually don't listen to any music per se. That might change here when I get my surround sound back from the ex-wife, in fact, it'll either be something from XM on that, or it'll be music from the PC in the kitchen if we upgrade the PC speakers.

 

[rdwj]

...or it'll be music from the PC in the kitchen if we upgrade the PC speakers.

If you get your surround sound back, you can plug your pc directly into the tuner. You just need an adaptor to go from the tiny pc jacks to the RCA jacks. You can get them at radio shack.

Brewing tonight and was doing my normal traditional Irish. SWMBO decides to change to Beck and it actually was quite nice. So, Beck is now on my brewing music list.

Actually, I'll have to rig that up wirelessly.

the surround sound will be in the living room, and Shimms wouldn't like (nor would I really) a wire running from the kitchen to the living room, unless I can conceal it really well.

Though, it won't really be needed, because most of what's on the PC will be the same stuff on my MP3 player :rockin:

When I do Brew I make sure that I have the following:

1) Make sure i have beer to drink when I brew
2) Turn on the music channel on Satellite is tuned in to Classic rock or blues, or heavy metal

then i will get started to brew

 

[sause]

I love listening to the Heavy metal airship and White shiny ball thick jelly. Figure that one out, really not hard. And I'll throw in some To be in a hurry.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

70's rock and/or Sirius Octane

 

[sAvAgE]

Molly Hatchet and Black Sabbath this past time.

nice choices

I recommend maybe some Dio, Dokken, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Classic Krokus (Long Stick goes boom days) and for some off the wall brewing "******* and beer" by Frank Zappa :rockin:

 

[Hippiefreak]

, like bela fleck. Some good old timey Gospel Bluegrass could be just what the doctor ordered for next brew day, any recommendations?

well, spending a brief period of time with a wonderful neighbor by the name of Ralph (Stanley), I have to say i'm partial to his music - but I've also acquired a lot of bootlegs of 'unknown' bands who were at various bluegrass sundays at a few local venues.....

I'm also very, very fond of Del McCoury and his boys....their latest album is all gospel....those high, lonesome sounds always get me.

He11 yeah! I listend to this gem last night while racking my American Style Pilsner.
Grateful Dead - August 30, 1981 Compton Terrace Amphitheatre Tempe, AZ

Samson And Delilah, Ship Of Fools, Estimated Prophet > He's Gone > Drums > Space > The Other One > Stella Blue > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad > Good Lovin'

Rippin!

The Led, the Pearl and don't be in a Rush to get your brew done.

 

[Bobby_M]

I usually brew on my deck which is right off my family room with the 90" screen. I'll put some classic on like Goodfellas or Blues Bros and copy the audio out to the deck speakers so I can listen back when I need to run out to babysit something.

 

[Ridge Runner]

a little Miles, a little Jerry, a little Trey... Now that's a tasty brew!!

 

[Jim Karr]

Any female vocalist (my collection has over 200 different voices), or Sirius Disorder!
