I made beer! I made beer! I made beer!
« on: January 14, 2007, 02:38:51 PM »
So, I got a home brewery kit for Christ's birthday and put it to immediate use, combining a West Coast Pale Ale recipe and blueberries to make the most delicious amateur beer ever made.  Today, I decided to test it, as per the directions, before I begin Phase II which is the carbonation and bottling process.  I was worried it'd taste like broth or sugar water or watered-down dirt mud.

It tastes like beer!  Warm, flat delicious beer!  I did it!

This is like Easy Bake Ovens for 20-somethings.

Sometime within the next couple of days I'll begin the bottling and carbonation process so that Disposable White Guy and myself can enjoy this new delicious brew in celebration of my upcoming birthday.

I thought about buying a homemade Stout kit, just to make Distinguished Black Gentleman Brew with the tagline "Dark and thick enough to please your wife -and- you."

I think I am going to make this my new hobby; the beer will taste so much better when you put so much energy into it.  The goal is to make my new Burgundy & Gold brew for the 2008 Redskins season.  I will spend all summer perfecting it.

It will go to the way of the origin of the act itself.

Those homemade beer kits make fantastic Stouts and Porters. Which homemade kit did you get Willco? You can buy specialty ingredients online to get better hops and other ingredients and make even better beers than the stuff you get with the kits.

I'd like to taste your creation though sounds good.

I've alway wanted to try this. Though the thought of draining away 20 litres of piss down the drain worries me.

Haha, yeah, this was the coolest gift I ever got.  I remember we went to see Rocky Balboa after we opened gifts and the entire time I was thinking up of different malt extracts and hops and fruits to combine.

My dad used to be awesome and make his own beer and smoke pipes and listen to cool music that I later took from him. Now he's such a loser.

I blame God.

Fruit is in a lot of beers.  A lot.  It adds to the taste, and it doesn't overwhelm.  It's not a blueberry beer.

This question is kind of stupid, because it's like, WHY DO YOU PUT SWEET STUFF IN BEER when beer starts off as just sugar.  Fruit is used in lieu of just straight-up glucose.

Not trustin' you; you like that pumpkin ale! There's never been FRUIT in a good stout/porter, sir.

Sometimes they put chocolate into stout ie Chocolate Stout (but not all chocolate stouts contain chocolate) as well as coffee.

Aha! I knew this would be your reaction since you did not carefully read the fine print.  I said "coolest" gift ever, not the best gift ever.  That still goes to you!
