Fermenting music

[simpleton]

Everyone has heard about playing music for plants and flowers somehow helping them grow. Has anyone ever heard of anyone trying this with beer?

I have a laptop in my fridge as part of my temp control system. Why not have it play music while its doing this? Now, what is the appropriate music to play for a german hefe I got from AHBS?

The scary thing is, this isn't the first time this question's been asked.

 

[BarleyWater]

It's German, so Beethoven, Brahms, Handel.

I bet my next batch of Oktoberfest would LOVE it if i put some of this music on!

Yes. The fridge sits on my back porch and this past winter I was having trouble maintaining tempratures. I needed to add a heat source. It works quite well. When things got real cold (down into the 50's) I would run a program to fully load the CPU and generate extra heat.

The laptop does not seem to mind. Now that I think about it, I don't think I have rebooted it in a couple months......

I'm sure the temp isn't a problem, but I'm surprised that condensation and moisture aren't an issue

Beer barrel polka or the chicken dance music.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

How a bout Einsturzende Neubauten continuously playing Has Der Luge?

Or for a more mellow fermentation try the same group and repeat the entire album Richterskala throughout primary.

 

[Aguirre]

For a Hefe I suggest Kraftwerk, Neu!, Can, Amon Duul II, DAF, Abwaerts, etc.

Give it some Rammstein - Du Hast or Fire FIght

 

[Munsoned]

I'd be afraid of putting anything on "repeat." You don't want to drive your yeast to insanity, do you???

 

[Louielizard]

Scorpions and rock that dunkelweisen like a hurricane! :rockin:

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Just don't play the Barney theme song.

 

[THart]

My beer often happily bubbles away to the music of Tom Waits. Seems to do no harm.

[becksbolero2]

David Hasselhoff has some good tunes

 

[THart]

David Hasselhoff sucks donkey balls.

Because we all know Germans love David Hasselhoff

I think that's a winner in my book, llama. I can just image metal spewing from my garage.

Neighbor: "Hey what's going on in there?"
Me: "Oh, that's just the beer fermenting"

On the same note, play some Rammstein for an Imperial Stout
