They should make an air freshener that smells like fermenting wort

[El Nino]

Seriously, does anybody else take a whiff in their fermentation chamber and enjoy the burning nose sensation and is like 'that's gonna be delicious'

 

[bleme]

LOL! I enjoy the smell of wort boiling. Fermenting... not so much.

hahaha, yeah maybe it depends on what your fermenting. lager.... uhhh no. but i definitely love the smell of my house during brew day.

The sulphurous smell of Hefeweizen fermentation would probably not be that great idea for a product. But the smell of hops could be nice in an air freshener. I mean for the non-brewers who do not have any real hops to sniff on a regular basis..

Yes they should. But also an air freshener from hops.

Am I the only one that takes old hops and puts them in a soup pot with water and let it simmer for an afternoon?

Memories of the smells of brew day were a big part of me getting back into it after 20 years.

As you're the first to ever mention it here, I'm going to go with "Yes"...

Cheers!

Better yet -- just brew another batch! Nothing more authentic than the smell of hopped wort in the fermenter, happily bubbling sugars into alcohol.

No, why do you ask?

They do still sell hop pillows.
