NEERFAN Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 ^That's what I was thinking. A nice stiff drink during those cool fall football Saturdays/Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillVille Cardinal51 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Well, I've worked up a little bit of a buzz from my homemade wine. Not too bad really and a lot better than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I haven't homebrewed in a while - the better part of a 2 1/2 years, in fact. Saw on Listermann Brewing Company's Facebook page where they are offering FREE beginners brewing classes this week and the week after. I think I'm going to go for a refresher on the process.

The brewmaster from Rivertown Brewery taught the class. We made a nut brown ale and got some free samples. I think the cost is $20 and you get a $20 gift card to spend at Listermann's.

NEERFAN Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I went to a get together for the NKY homebrewers this summer and the all grain thing looks like chess compared to the checker world of extract brewing. I will eventually try it out but it won't be until I get out of my condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEERFAN Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 ^I never prepared for a final while wasted. I usually don't drink early in the day but that was an exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Charms Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Going to swing by Listermans tomorrow and pick up an IPA extract kit. Been a long time since I have brewed. Going to get it done on Saturday after going to the gym of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malachicrunch Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Just did a Lite Lager. It was OK, carbonation was lacking. Probably missed on the sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillVille Cardinal51 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I threw together a cider two weeks ago. Three gallons of apple juice, 7 containers of frozen apple juice concentrate, 2 pounds of dark brown sugar, then added water to bring it to about six gallons in the primary fermenter. I'm using Nottingham dry English ale yeast with it as well. I siphoned it into a secondary fermenter yesterday, and so far it tastes pretty good. I'm thinking about putting some cinnamon sticks and other stuff into half of it, then leave the other half a traditional cider. I bottled a pumpkin ale last week, and cracked one open two days ago. It tasted better than I expected, but I think another couple weeks in the bottle will do it some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well atleast you'll know next time. I've heard lagers are difficult to get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
