What You Wear While Brewing

[WesleyS]

Shorts, tshirt and flip flops.

 

[cluckk]

Shorts, t-shirt and sandals. I have two turkey fryers and in South Texas, even in February, having those going in my garage will make you want to strip down as far as you can get.

I want to get me some white rubber boots like the aligator wranglers use in Swamp People those would be so cool!!!

They call them "cajun reeboks" in Louisiana. They use white because they don't make your feet get as hot in the sun

When it's cold outside: shirt, jeans, sneakers.
When it's hot outside: shirt, shorts, sneakers.

In between: cock sock.

 

[biohaz7331]

I wear some type of brewing shirt, jeans, and slippers. I have noticed what is up with everyone that wears sandals? Also I brew inside until I get a burner and bigger pot to do full extract boils.

 

[SPR-GRN]

I brew AG on my stove top; Slippers, pajama pants or sweatpants or mesh shorts & a beat up old Guinness T-shirt I've had longer than I can remember, it has "Air conditioning" holes in it at all the seams.

Tuxedo if it's after six...what am I, a farmer?

 

[FourSeasonAngler]

Who cares as long as I have the viking hat that was made for me by my Grandmother before she passed.

I have taken to wearing overalls and a white tee shirt.

[DiggerinOregon]

Overalls and my Redwings. I vary the amount of shirts based on the temp.

 

[pjj2ba]

This time of year I mash in the basement and it hovers around 50 F. I always wear some kind of beer related shirt, then jeans, my leather Pilsner Urquell apron, and either shoes or leather slippers, and a hat (mostly to help keep warm). I change hats after I mash in to a different hat. I also wear gauntlets when doing any step that involves raw grain. I was surprised to notice just how much dust collected on my arms, glasses and head as a result of milling and mashing in - even with being careful. So now once I'm mashed in the gloves come off and the hat gets changed.

In the summer, I switch out jeans for shorts, and ditch the second hat.

 

[Spartan1979]

t-shirt/shorts/sneakers in the summer
t-shirt/jeans/sweatshirt/sneakers in the winter

Pretty much what I wear every other day.

No intended disrespect, but this sounds like overkill to me. I don't think outfit changes or gauntlets are standard procedure for homebrewers or professional brewers. To each their own, I suppose.

Overkill to put on a pair of gloves and change a hat? Next time you mash in, check out how much dust collects on your arms. Those same arms that you use to swirl your wort as you chill it. It's a good way to accidently brew a sour beer.

Grain dust is loaded with lactobacillus! Some maltsers even add it to the malting process as a biocontrol agent as it helps to keep other microbes under control while the grain is germinating and it also improves malt quality

But it's all hot side.

But it's all hot side.

My asthma exists on both hot side and cold side, so I can understand the fear of grain dust.

I'm in the market for some rubber boots after one too many soaking wet shoe.

^ ha!

 

[tjBrewer]

Seemed I would always end up spillilng wort all over me or soaking my shoes and jeans when cleaning. Found some rubber boots at Big 5 for $12 and a nice painters apron with pockets and stuff for $20. I now look like a serial killer when I brew, but at least Halloween is covered :rockin:

 

[Snisup]

Pajamas, as I usually brew as soon as I get up or right before bed.

 

[DiscipleofDionysus]

Always wear my wool hat and my Hofbrauhaus shirt I got in Munich, Germany.

 

[thadius856]

Pajamas and loafers!
