Favorite Brewing Music

[Baron von BeeGee]

well, spending a brief period of time with a wonderful neighbor by the name of Ralph (Stanley)...

That's quite a neighbor!

I always put on my Sirius boombox. Usually Outlaw Country, Bluegrass, but sometimes Sirius Disorder which has an Irish music show on the weekends (Rogue's March, New Dubliners, etc.). When my neighbor comes over he insists on Buzzsaw which isn't my first choice, but it's fun playing "stump Roger" on that channel. He can call 99 out of 100 songs after the first 3-4 notes.

If BOSTON is around I have to put on "The Vault"... :cross:

:fro: JIMI HENDRIX :fro:
South Saturn Delta, great great stuff maaaaan.

 

[Fiery Sword]

....I'm not brewing, but I'm drinking brew.....and the Rolling Stones Rock'n'Roll Cirius is on PBS. This is one of the greatest videos from the late-60's era.

The Lennon/Clapton/Mitchell/Richards version of Yer Blues is f*cking out of this world.

:rockin: SLAYER

Yer Blues[/I] is f*cking out of this world.

enlighten me, I WANT THIS!!!!

 

[Fiery Sword]

enlighten me, I WANT THIS!!!!

A buddy of mine taped this a long, long time ago off the TV and it was recently re-released as a DVD. It was filmed in 1968 - Tull plays a kick-ass version of Jeffrey's Song, the Who make an appearance, Marianne Faithfull sings some ballad and looks mighty hot but the centerpieces of the show are the Lenon/Clapton/Richards/Jagger/Mitchell jam (Yoko primal screamming aside) and the extended Stones performance. They were really hitting gear during this era, and Mick is giving frontman lessons for generations of guys to come. As SWMBO said, "Damn, Mick Jagger and Keirth Richards are actualy beautiful (in this video)." I had to agree, in a heterosexual man-awe sort of way. :fro:

Buy it on amazon here...well worth it.....

[attitude]

nothing like listening to some cannibal corpse or devildriver while brewing. just like fingers 40 yrs old and still liuke the old punk and hardcore tunes

 

[skeeordye11]

I like to throw my 311 Day DVD on my surround system and go to town!

 

[Born Brewing Co.]

I like to brew to a little Lynnard Skynnard. :rockin: Of course, with the 3-tier brewery and propane burners and hillbilly music the neighbors think I'm cookin' meth in the driveway.

 

[Ize]

Hmmm.. found this earlier today and while it's always subjective, it's an interesting list that's for damn sure. I'm sure there's more than enough brewing material here.

[dibby33]

I can never remember what I am playing due to the fact that I am knocking back the frothies at the same time. Either radio (random stations) or CDs - james brown - ministry of sound. No idea

Lately I've been on a big Foo Fighters binge. I never listened to them too much(I was a huge Nirvana fan back in the day, and felt like listening to the FF was almost like sleeping with my dead wife's sister, if I had a dead wife) until about 2 months ago, now I'll put on 4 straight albums of theirs and not feel the need to skip through a single song.

 

[Evan!]

Few things can compare to The Hold Steady whilst brewing. A bunch of really badass songs with lyrics about teenagers getting f'd up. Absolutely brilliant. I still get chills when I think about the first time I was standing there, a big pot of beautiful boiling wort in front of me, a cold homebrew in my hand, a good buzz-on in my head, and "Chicago Seemed Tired Last Night" came blasting through. There really is nothing like that feeling.

If you haven't heard The Hold Steady, then...um...

When I make supplementary brew notes on my session printouts, I typically note the music I'm listening to while brewing. I'll change up between the mash and the boil and the chilling/straining phases. Last session, I got a good dose of Willie, sprinkled with some Ted Leo and Son Volt. Giddyup!

 

[Evan!]

I also like to throw dvd's of The Wire on my Macbook. Helps to pass the time during the mash.

 

[jagged]

Few things can compare to The Hold Steady whilst brewing.

awesome!...I just figured out who I'll be brewing with tomorrow...their first one has never grabbed me, but the last two are tip-top (with the exception of that chick singing on Chill-out Tent) and will be played at maximum volume when it's time to make the beer

When I make supplementary brew notes on my session printouts, I typically note the music I'm listening to while brewing.

I can't believe this hasn't occurred to me already, but I'll be doing this from now on

 

[Hippiefreak]

well, I got my 10 gallon coolers, and associated false bottom/valve hardware today...my first all-grain batch is goin on right now!!!!!!

So, to celebrate - I've got a mix of jerry (garcia), some acoustic Dead, David Grisman, and some Yonder Mountain String Band.....love to annoy the campers with YMSB at night

woooohooo!!!!!

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,

Chris (aka HippieFreak)

What I do nowadays is I put my iPod on "Shuffle" and let it decide what I should listen to. So, it varies between classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, gangsta rap, hip hop, old school, reggae, bluegrass, country, R&B, funk, alternative, grunge, jambands, jazz, electronica, and whatever the hell else I've got on there.


Also, every time I do a step in the brewing process, I write it in my notes, along with what song is playing at the time.

 

[scottthorn]

When I brew I usually set my mp3 player to random. I've got all kinds of stuff on there from classical to classic rock, bluegrass to techno, etc.

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.....

Hey Chris, you have at least one recording on your list that came from my mics!

[mini-rant]I bristle at the term bootleg as it implies something illicit. Everything I record is done with the permission of the artist.[/mini-rant]

Taping is a fun hobby that gets me out of the house and into bars where I can drink something other than my own brew. I love being able to hear the concerts I attend again (and again and again). I also enjoy sharing my recordings with others who appreciate them. Here is a list of concerts I recorded and/or uploaded to Archive.org You can stream or download them all for free... and it's all legal

 

[Hippiefreak]

hehe...you taped the booty band show on 6-10-06!!!!!

I first met Al (bass/trombone) back at Shakori in 2004....we hit it off great, and every time I'm at one of their shows, he seeks me out.....I've been preaching to them about etree and live trading ever since, and it's great to see that their shows are available on the archive.....

they've got an album out now and have an album release party here in wilmington, next saturday......wish that I had the gear to record - hopefully someone else will be there to do just that.....

 

[JimiGibbs]

hehe...you taped the booty band show on 6-10-06!!!!!

I'm downloading it now .... Love to go to the booty show!!!

 

[gonzoflick]

I jam to Music Choice channel 411 (Rock). That channel is more amazing than i can describe.. and the service is free with most digital cable packages. They play great rock and so many bands Ive never heard of before.

Anyways Yea I crank that stuff up, grab a HB and head bang while my wort boils.

About 7 years ago went to a festival called the Smokin Seafood festival at Nelson ledges in NE Ohio with my soon to be SWMBO. An old rock quarry with a stage on a sand beach. Amish country, cliff diving, fishing, and leftover Salmon as the "headliner". YMSB was there & I told my Girl "We're gonna here about these guys for a long time!!" Have you heard such a skinny little reed of a man belt out a baritone? I'm glad they're doing well. Can't wait to catch em again.

 

[bottleopener]

Obviously, music is necessary for brewing.

I listen to a strict died of AMON AMARTH viking metal when I'm brewing to give my beers that extra bite.

What does HBT listen to whilst brewing?

ps: how do you spell druck?

 

[Tankard]

Amon Amarth.... nice.

Any type of metal works with brewing for me. I'll switch it from thrash and black metal, usually, but anything will work.

Tankard is fun to listen to while brewing... nice to hear a band sing about beer while I'm brewing beer.

 

[Brewtopia]

I listen to a variety of things. I have a 4 disc changer and during my last session it was loaded with Justin Townes Earle, Hank Williams III, Waylon Jennings and Junior Brown

 

[Neunelfer]

Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, CCR, etc

 

[Fingers]

Squizz on XM.

 

[FishinDave07]

Squizz on XM.

YES! The Squizz is nice. Heck, i go from reggae to hardcore, metal to country. I depends on the brew.

Hefe = Polka music
IIPA = As Blood Runs Black
