Poll: What To Do, What To Brew
What To Do, What To Brew
I'm putting a batch of home made beer on tomorrow. As any brewer knows beer is beer, yawn, I have to make a custom brew. How do you suggest I make it?
apples (tastes like cider) (33.3%)
     |
oranges (tangy but powerful) (11.1%)
|
kiwis (great for down south, coff coff, I did not say that) (0%)
|
potatoes (gives the brew a vodka flavour but sometimes tastes like Johnson's wax) (11.1%)
|
tomatoes (ah, the unknown fruit that goes well with everything) (0%)
|
ginger (great combination) (11.1%)
|
root beer (root beer extract has to be added after fermentation as it kills the yeast) (11.1%)
|
regular beer (no way....I can't follow a recipe just as I can't read a road map. I'm a male, dammit. I don't ask for directions) (22.2%)

Re: Poll: What To Do, What To Brew
i got drunk on this before
Traditional Mead Recipe
Created by admin, April 30, 2007
Ingredients
At a glance
Traditional Mead
Makes
5 gal (US)
This is for a 5 gallon batch: 12 lbs honey (dry mead with Original Gravity as low as 1.070-1.090),
15.5 lbs honey (medium mead - with Original gravity in between dry and sweet guidelines)
22 lbs honey (sweet with Original Gravity as high as 1.120)
Yeast Nutrient
Irish Moss
5 gallons Spring Water
Methods/steps
Recipe Process
(Important:
Always sterilize anything that will touch your mead first!) Bring 5
gallons of water up to 160 degrees and hold temperature. Pour in honey
and stir until dissolved. Pasteurize honey water mixture at 160 for 20
minutes skimming off white protein foam as you go. Add Irish Moss (to
help clear) with 15 minutes left. Cool mead to 70
degrees for yeast pitching. Add mead mixture (must) to sterilized 5
gallon fermentor. Add yeast nutrient. Pitch in yeast (dry or sweet mead
yeast depending). Add oxygen to must for 2-3 minutes by shaking with
lid covered. Place airlock on top of carboy. Let ferment in dark room
at 70 degrees. Rack to secondary fermentor once
yeast activity appears to have stopped. Rack to trimary to help clear.
Bottle or keg when all fermentation is done and final gravity has
reached required level. Carbonate when bottling or keep still.
Depending. Enjoy!

Re: Poll: What To Do, What To Brew
"You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy. And you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks. All those childhood tramas...magically wiped away! Along with most of your personality.
"Now's the time...time for Spud! (Oooohhh, SPUD!)
"Brewed with the refreshing taste of...potatoes!
"When you say Spud/ Just put your life on hold/ do what you're told
aaaaand open a cold refreshing Spud
Just watch your life go by/ no need to try
When you've got Spud!"
Anyone remember that?
That's my vote for potatoes, but I'm too late I guess eh?
