What kind of music do you listen to while brewing

[MaddBaggins]

Usually a mix from the iPod. Right now Cake is on. I'm about to switch up to a harder mix.

 

[rseckler]

Popcorn Suttons favorite Music,BLUEGRASS.

 

[StainlessBrewing]

Nothing beats some good music while brewing! Some friends get confused when music is playing on shuffle off of my phone and goes from Hank III and Haggard to some Eazy-E and Brotha Lynch! Never can go wrong with some Pantera but lately been on a Pepper kick. A drink in the hand with a cigar in the other while brewing can't get any better!

 

[rhoop]

Guided by Voices, The Hold Steady, Built to Spill, Wolf Parade, Elliott Smith, The White Stripes, Deer Tick, Tom Waits, Drive-By Truckers, Tool, Sleater-Kinney, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Black Keys, The Mars Volta, Sigur Ros, Iron and Wine, Bon Iver, The National, etc.

Nice, I dont know all those bands, but big yes to the ones I do.

 

[DoubleAught]

I'm like 75% Irish and listened to Irish pub songs last brew day...it mixed very well, so well it took me two days to get over the hangover...luckily the ESB still turned out ok

 

[verbhertz]

I always just read. Perhaps I should be jamming?

 

[WYOBrews]

I always just read. Perhaps I should be jamming?

Yes, you should be jamming! Reading is for boring old people!

 

[chalkboardbrewer]

I generally listen to my backlog of podcasts on brewing and other hobbies, an all-news radio station, or my scanner. My cool days when I used to DJ are long gone.

 

[hinesj324]

Jay-z. It is really strange. It is the only time I ever listen to rap. But I did it once (Grey Album) and have had the association ever since.

Last batch it was Pearl Jam (Ten)

 

[verbhertz]

I read brewing books if that makes it any better...

 

[Saxomophone]

Since I got a new turntable I've been listening to my vinyl while brewing. The other night bottling it was The Hub of Hubbard (Freddie Hubbard) and Swiss Movement (Les McCann and Eddie Harris). Also recently Sonny Stitt, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Coltrane, Joe Henderson, and some old crooners like Sammy Davis Jr, Sinatra. Then there's the classic rock albums like Traffic, Jethro Tull, Steely Dan,....

I freakin love listening to vinyl. Even on my crappy speakers it sounds better than an iPod.

 

[verbhertz]

I just bought some vinyl today! I just need a receiver and some nice speakers to hook my turntable up to.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Don't care how much anyone disagrees, as far as I'm concerned everything sounds better on vinyl.

 

[barneygumble]

I watch sports. NFLN, ESPN, NESN, or whatever has a game on. Beer and sports. A marraige made in heaven.

I was listening to Pandora while brewing yesterday and a really HOT version of Birdland played by Freddie Hubbard and the Allyn Ferguson Big Band came on.

And yes...Vinyl does sound better. I just like pandora's variety.

 

[MaddBaggins]

Mashing now. Some really old school Ministry was just on( think early 80's new wave). Now its Arcade Fire.
iPod shuffle.

 

[SledgeH]

Silence. Just the gentle sound of propane. No wife, no kid, no dog, no cat, just peaceful silence.

Nice.

 

[MaddBaggins]

Steve Miller Band was just on. Now, Muse.

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Nothing puts me in a better mood on brew day than crankin some AC/DC or something along those lines. I will probably start throwing in some German Polka, monk chants, and Irish drinking songs becuase I am pretty convinced it will make the beer better.

 

[Bamsdealer]

Guided by Voices, The Hold Steady, Built to Spill, Wolf Parade, Elliott Smith, The White Stripes, Deer Tick, Tom Waits, Drive-By Truckers, Tool, Sleater-Kinney, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Black Keys, The Mars Volta, Sigur Ros, Iron and Wine, Bon Iver, The National, etc.

Nice Lineup

 

[Arbor413]

Only on my 4th brew, but so far reggae/dancehall and lots of Miles Davis.

 

[Devon]

Generally some Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Johnny Hickman, or Hickman-Dalton gang. Between studio albums and the ton of live recordings available on archive.org, I have enough for many, many brews.

 

[MaddBaggins]

I've got an 80's New Wave/Goth mix going with a brown ale mashing.

 

[mrkrausen]

Generally I'll listen to a Brewing Network show or some other brewing podcast...it just feels right. If not I'll put Itunes on shuffle and then who knows what you're in for. MF Doom, Radiohead, Ratatat, P.J. Harvey, Sigur Ros, The Roots, Arctic Monkeys, Del, DJ Shadow, James Brown or Johnny Cash. Can't let the genres hold you back.

 

[nukebrewer]

I listen to my Cake station on Pandora.

 

[craigger64]

Silence. Just the gentle sound of propane. No wife, no kid, no dog, no cat, just peaceful silence.

fellow lehigh valley area brewer here, i agree. just the sound of the burner........mmmmmmmmmmmm peace!

 

[libeerty]

Miles Davis usually, maybe Coltrane or Reggae.

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

Just the hiss of the burner. Sometimes this results in an unanticipated nap on the brew-couch, good thing I have timers.

 

[MaddBaggins]

Right now, Mazzy Star.
