Favorite Brewing Music

[BrewHerc]

I like to listen to a little bluegrass band called Iron Horse. Something about listening to some downhome type of music and making beer feels right.

 

[Beards Brews]

Indie rock or alt-country

I'll listen to most anything while I'm brewing. I take my laptop into the garage and use it for my timers, my brewsmith, keeping tabs on HBT and then hook it up to some old computer speakers and put the iTunes on.

 

[Duckfoot]

My Britney Spears / Neil Diamond / Barry Manilow / ABBA / Bette Midler playlist on my Ipod...

















HA!

Actually it is a combo of the local rock station and SWMBO yapping in the background...

 

[StunnedMonkey]

The Sunday Session

 

[Brewmando]

The voices......

 

[Plowboymiz]

Are you kidding me?!?!?! Polkas of course.... What other genre of music talks about beer more than polkas!!!

 

[BlackDogBrewing]

Zeppelin, followed by Jimmy Buffett.

 

[gwood]

My last brew started with Flogging Molly (Swagger), followed by Bad Religion (Suffer), and finished up with some Dead (Hartford, 1972 I think).

I like to throw something upbeat in the middle of the playlist and then ramp it down to pitching.

 

[babbott]

todays the pogues and tom waits

 

[niquejim]

I listen to either Sirius 16 (obscure classic "album oriented rock") or sirius 74(now called B.B. Kings Bluesville) which is the crack channel

 

[Brewme]

The Brewing Network + brew day + a homebrew in hand = good times

 

[rph33]

I listen to a bunch of long, atmospheric, progressive, jazz / doom / sludge metal.

So... Isis, Intronaut, Cult of Luna, Mouth of the Architect, Jesu, Mastodon, Porcupine Tree, etc.

Those 13 minute jam progressions just make the time fly by, because you get thru with brewing and you are still on the same CD that you were on when you started (virtually, not literally)

 

[eschatz]

A combination of jazz and Steely Dan.

 

[treesmcgee]

I'm either listenin to jazz or classical but sometimes ill pop on some sports talk radio, or the tv... I like my brew day to be chill so usually jazz

 

[winzerz]

I guess I am the oddball

while brewing my first batch on the back patio

was watchin my big fat greek wedding on the 46" hdtv

 

[Bob]

Russian Romantic-era composers, generally. Rimsky-Korsakov, Tschiakowski, Mussorgskiy, Borodin, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, with occasional forays into the Neo-Classical work of Prokofiev and Shostakovich.

The next brew will, however, be Sting singing Dowland to the accompaniament of Karamazov's lute. Songs from the Labyrinth, the album's called. Listen to cuts here. Divine!

[Brutus Brewer]

Cincinnati Reds if on the radio or Classic Rock, which are probably classified as oldies now-Zeppelin, Doors, Who, etc

 

[FreakinA]

I also like to play Tubular Bells.

 

[fat x nub]

Usually some soft rock or country

 

[AnonyBrew]

My wife bitching!


Al

Ha! Classic response....I get the same.

 

[AnonyBrew]

The Doors, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Neil Young.

Holy old school.

 

[Gonefishing]

I must be weird... I prefer brewing at night, after SWMBO is in bed and the house is quiet. I don't usually listen to anything while actually brewing, but might watch TV while waiting for my timed steps and additions.

 

[Section1]

I've been playing Mortal Love, Within Temptation, Stream of Passion, Elis, and others like that. Wasn't something I used to like. Now it seems female fronted bands have my ear and I can't get enough.

 

[talleymonster]

I like to light some scented candles, hang some energy crystals in the doorway(to keep the nasties out), Do some pre-mash yoga, and put some Enya on the cd player.

 

[NikolausXX]

lol these responses are great. I will still play some metal, but may take the Brew network advise, listened to what they were streaming today, reruns, at work. I really need to get a new bluetooth stereo headphones, listning on broken ones, mono and 3 hours a charge, SAD. I find the Brew network radio to be good, but scares me with the call in thing. People that call in either do real messed up stuff, or what I do, and usually its wrong. Learning alot fast!

 

[RGH]

I listen to everything but mostly Metal. My first batch was conceived while listening to the Grateful Dead. I was shocked to hear my wife say that she dug the smell of the wort getting its awesome on, I almost cried into it...

 

[carnevoodoo]

The last few times have been Superchunk, the Weakerthans, Wilco, and I bottled listening to Palace Music. I'm an indie rock snob.

 

[graphicgeek80]

I was happy to see a couple of people listen to some progressive stuff.

I usually pull on a concept album. Aryeon's Human Equation, Pain of Salvation's Be, Pink Floyd's DSOTM, Symphony X's The Odyssey, and so on. The continuity of thought in the albums makes time fly by for me.

 

[Kilgore_Trout]

I sit in silence, alone in my kitchen for the whole day.

Don't really have any portable music players... it's all on the desktop machine.

Love the prog metal though, The Odyssey is a great album.

 

[bad coffee]

mostly the voices in my head. But other than that I put on the tv to either the food network or discovery, or a hockey game if I can find one.
