National Homebrew Day Giveaway!

[WI_Wino]

I share yeast with the brewing club at work to get folks to branch out more. One guy uses an English yesat for his saison...

 

[clingy]

I've gotten two of my buddies to start brewing because of their interest in my brewing. Now I am growing hops to try to spread the love even more by giving out fresh free hops!

 

[WI_Wino]

I did a joint brew session at my house with a buddy and showed him BIAB. He moved from extract to all grain within a month after that. I like to take credit for it.

I made my brother a STC 1000 temp controller and gave him a brew belt so he could maintain ferment temps in the winter.

Over the last year I have gotten 3 friends into homebrewing and I am working on the fourth

 

[WI_Wino]

I organized an all company testing at work. 4 brewers, 6 different beers. It was a huge hit and interest from several other coworkers on how to get started with the hobby.

 

[Psylocide]

I'm letting my neighbor use all my old equipment (kettle/burner/etc.) and coach him through his first extract batch. Tried my beer once and was hooked, but I need to get him brewing his own so he stops asking for free beer. He does snowblow my driveway quite a bit, so it's alright I suppose.

I don't think I want to start him on AG because I just don't feel like being over there for the whole process.

I send regular pics of my sours to other brewers who have not jumped into this area yet. Here's an example.

 

[hunter_le five]

Back in college I frequently took homebrew to parties to share (before I was old enough to buy beer). It probably wasn't that great, as I was still a beginner, but it all got drank, and it had to be better than the Keystone Light everyone else was drinking. People seemed to enjoy it.

My advancement of homebrewing: c̶o̶n̶t̶r̶i̶b̶u̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶e̶l̶i̶n̶q̶u̶e̶n̶c̶y̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶m̶i̶n̶o̶r̶s̶ ̶ introducing my fellow classmates to end result of homebrewing

Besides sanitation in brewing , it's always wise to keep clear concise notes of each brew so you can find out what works great and what doesn't work so great!

 

[jethro33]

Count me in

 

[Wine2Beer]

Just under the wire... ;-)

 

[philber]

I advanced brewing by learning if you take one beer that wasn't the best recipe and mix that with another great tasting beer...I was quite happy with my blended beer. Also known as a Black and Tan

My neighbor found out first hand that if you mess up a brew, it is still beer and was well worth the effort.

Added to the sig line.

Soon, my HBT signature will rival Palmer's How to Brew as the definitive guide to homebrewing. You're welcome, newbies. <-my contribution

Me thinks some missed the original post here...

Well...........:fro:

Rules and Entry:
- Post to this thread one way you have advanced brewing. Post a pic of you brewing, post a story of you brewing, teach other's to brew, and let us know what you did here in this thread.

Sitting around drinking and talking about beer is a completely acceptable method of entry provided you post that here.

If you do more than one thing, post it. Each method of supporting homebrewing will count as an entry.

I try to educate people on the evils of i&#822;n&#822;f&#822;e&#822;c&#822;t&#822;e&#822;d&#822; sour beers.

I have 50% of those so that is mine!

 

[WI_Wino]

I have a mini fridge under my desk at work. It's full of my beer and gets drank several times at week with co workers. I also condition some of my beer at work (small children at home so all beer stuff not in the fridge is relegated to the basement where it is currently 60 F).

Better? You'll get 50% of the proceeds.

I should submit this as a HBT front page article. The people are demanding quality, thought-provoking pieces. Another contribution!

I try to educate people on the wonders of sour fermentations of both beer and beyond.

I'm letting a buddy use half my stuff so he can brew at his house...

 

[Hello]

Well...........:fro:

Yeah, that's not what I was referring to.

"In" is more where I was headed.

 

[Thanks_Yeasties]

Brewed at a beer festival with a local brewery providing a 16bbl mash/lauter tun for teams of home brewers to do a common mash with. Then had all different hops provided by a local hops farm.

By the time we were boiling the festival was in full gear and I got to explain to multitudes of buzzed festival goers the fun of homebrewing, a few of which seemed ready to take the plunge and start themselves.

 

[WI_Wino]

Our 2.5 year old is an aspiring brewer. He helps pick out what beer we have for dinner and throws a fit if I try to drink a commercial beer rather than my beer. Also he *loves* to watch yeast on the stir plate. When asked what we should get my wife for Mother's day he replied "sour beer".

 

[jimbobbillyray]

As usual, my attempts at humor/sarcasm were off target

Yeah I kinda figured that was what you meant!

I help others improve their brewing by sharing knowledge learned from research and experience.

 

[SteelManCM]

Not only do I try to help share my knowledge (especially through my blog in me signature), I also try to encourage others to brew, as well! On May 2nd, I took a new brewer with me to brew inside a brewery and he had a great time! He took his new equipment and his first 5 gallon extract kit and made an American Stout. We had the full attention of the Head Brewer from the brewery and used the time to pick his brain.

This was also the day I entered my first competition and came away with First Place! Now I get to brew my recipe on their pilot system to be served on one of their Small Batch Tuesdays!

 

[frozennorth]

I am educating friends on new beers for them, 5 gallons at a time.
