(Wo)Man, the last thing I need is
another project [laugh] [laugh]
Im booked for like the next 2 years :-\
I don't like beer enough to brew my own, but if someone were to hire me to build one. . .
Wowzers!
Thats a lot of work for some crappy beer!
1. You will always get a better brew if you boil the malt "tea" for at least 45 min. This sanitizes the wort (unfermented beer) and extracts the flavor of the malt, barley and hops.
2. Your brew will taste and look cleaner if you use secondary fermentation (to get your beer off the yeasty sediment in the primary fermenter).
3. Plastic bottles with screw on caps make very poor vessels for natural carbonation, lagering and aging. Screw-type caps do not seal as well as crimp-type and in his own text the builder states that in a year the plastic bottles will leak.
4. Priming (adding sugar to the flat beer to generate natural carbonation) by adding sugar to each individual bottle results in inconsistent carbonation and bacterial contamination.
Methinks this is why the poster had no more entries after "Now all there is left to do is drink it once it has matured!"
Seriously, brewing beer is not hard to do, I encourage everyone who has the slightest inclination to do it. I also recommend "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian
The book is really a confidence booster after your first batch tastes like over-carbonated ass water (ask me how i know ;))
right, I'll get down off my soap box now...
Time to build a bender keg dispenser. I wonder how big a pony keg is......

You're in St. Louis right? You're officially my new brew buddy. I bought all the shit I need (with the exception of a steel vat/ boiler) a year ago and never finished up the project, but I've done a couple of brew days since then with a friend of my ex and they're an absolute blast.

Beer Good [drink] [thumbsup]
Bender Good
It is a crap load of fun to
*EDIT*
there i go, tagging the post button before i'm done, hittin the ole homebrew again...
but yeah, it's a shite-load of fun to brew your own beer. It gives you a whole new perspective when you take an A-B brewery tour, or a Schlafly tour (the largest locally-owned brewery in St. Louis) hopefully i didn't sound too pompous in last post, brewing beer is easy; screwing it up is easy too! as far as steel vat, i guess you mean brew pot? fer on the stove? i had a hard time finding a 3-4 gallon pot, and even then, beware of boil-over! but i'm rambling...yeah that book is good reading, the dude has great knowledge and a funny writing style.

Bite my shiny metal ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is amazing. [thumbsup]
I just met Charlie last weekend at an American Homebrewers Association get together in kalamazoo, MI. We've been using corney kegs and CO2 from the start...totally worth it...get your beer 2 weeks earlier!

We use a turkey fryer to brew the wort in...Works really well...30 quarts I believe...We can do a full 5 (+ boil off) in it without going over if we watch it...it's boiled over a few times...but you gots to pay attention...instead of playing bags (by the way...what do you all call corn hole..?)
i never thought of a turkey fryer but it makes good sense, then i could do it in the garage or outside so the misses doesn't complain about the house smelling like a brewery (like thats a bad thing)
