Moonbeam does BrutusTen!

[Lonnie Mac]

So some may have seen this on my FB site but I wanted to post it here...

Moonbeam (SWMBO) has brewed her first beer! It took me a while to get this formatted for Vimeo in HD but I have succeeded I think...

Two parts if yall care to watch showing a bit more footage of Brutus Ten in action... It was fun shooting this with my little flip cam... I am surprised it came out so well!

Part one:

I like the intro music. very cool man, wish my wife liked beer.

She's a keeper!

Looks like a good day.

 

[Saccharomyces]

Nice!

I like the setup with the water grant, though I was a bit surprised there wasn't a valve at the bottom to pump the water up to the HLT.

Very cool Lonnie,

Brutus 10 has made me a much better brewer - thanks again!

I don't think I want my wife discovering the joys of homebrewing though, this is one thing I enjoy doing on my own!

Sweet!!! Good Luck.

Actually there is... But I had to make her do at least something "old school"!

Almost broke out all my old gravity drain system. But she wanted to brew it up on Brutus...

Well here is part three... Getting there! It is tasting great!

Silly I know, but I am having fun playing with videos and watching the wife brew a beer for me for once!

Moonbeam transferes the Barleywine...

Yep. She picked out the BCS Barleywine recipe to a tee... Cal Ale WLP 001... OG 115 and today it was down to 28... Wanted to see it a bit lower, but it will sit in the secondary for some time. In any case, it taste pretty dang good for her first batch!
