Preparing for a brewday tomorrow. Have quite a bit of preparation and cleaning to do, before I can brew. #brewing #homebrewery #homebrewing #beer

So, I never did a proper #introduction because I am not in to those things, but after browsing the hashtag for few days I decided that maybe this is the time to make my own post.

So I am guy in 20's and mainly interested in #homebrewing #brewing and #cycling

More specifically I started brewing my own #beer when I was 15, because it was the easiest way to get alcohol at that time. It became my hobby, I moved to #cider only because I couldn't get decent one in store. And after that I worked in #craftbeer brewery.

As for #cycling I am interested in #bikepacking #biketouring #commuterbike and more of a utilitarian cycling. Right now I am touring through Europe on my bike and because I don't have anything other to do I will be doing that for about 6 months.

Sometimes I post in Czech, sometimes in English and I also repost from #lemmy where I moderate @homebrewing

I absolutely love this malt bill and hops.

I use it for my California Common but recently swapped the local ale malt to Maris Otter and used an ale yeast. Also outstanding.

Last week I bottled half the braggot and today I've bottled the rest. It ended up being 1010 FG and 6.5% alcohol.

Braggot is a old drink that is between beer and mead. I found it in a authentic viking cookery book. I do viking renactment so that is why I was interested in doing it. It tastes okay, I made 12 750ml bottles in total and one 1L bottle.

Was worried about the sediment but settled quick.

I’m thinking to try to make hop water. Never tried a commercial version so don’t have a point of reference, but the idea of sparkling, slightly hoppy water is appealing.

I did do a water kefir with some hop tea once and it didn’t really work - I didn’t get it hoppy enough

Brülosophy and More Beer articles seems to have some good ideas.

Anyone else tried making this and have any pointers?

Also thinking to make a hop tea and mix that with Japanese cold barley tea.

So I started brewing braggot a few weeks ago and the first 3 weeks of fermentation are over. The second stage is just bottling and adding honey to each bottle.

It is a mead, beer kinda drink and required a bunch of honey (as opposed to granulated sugar) for the yeast to feed on etc.

It is meant to be 7.8% alcohol however it has come out as 5.8% ... idk why unless it increases in the next 2 weeks of being bottled....

I'll bottle it at the weekend and hopefully try it in 3 weeks.

Für #Hobbybrauer hat Jahr 2025 Neuerungen bei der Biersteuer.
Inzwischen habe ich auch eine offizielle Meldung auf der Seite vom Zoll gefunden.
Also man darf ab dem nächsten Jahr 5hl pro Jahr steuerfrei (also Biersteuer) brauen und die Anmeldung (wenn keine Biersteuer zu entrichten ist) entfällt auch.

I feel like I’ve let all my hobbies atrophy, as evidenced by the long-since-fermented stout that’s been waiting to bottle for many months. With all the election stress and dread, though, I’m reviving my #homebrewing side for some self-care - just cleaned and sanitized all my gear, ready to bottle this thing and start planning my next one

Getting my brew on. With any luck this will be 23L of ale in a couple of weeks. #brewing #beer #homebrew

I've ordered some of that yellow label angel yeast
because it's got a fungi that acts the same as amylase on starch. #Brewing

I started new semi regular #homebrewing thread on Lemmy. So if you want join us and share what are you brewing.

#Introduction

I'm just a guy with a lot of hobbies - #brewing, growing stuff, making #vinegar, collecting #AncientCoins, #photography, #boardgames, #ComputerGames, and much more.

I need a new hobby like I need a new hole in the head, but I am also powerless to resist when a new hobby strikes. Such is life.

I work as a #TechnicalWriter at a Danish software company. I have three clever and independent children who shout at me a lot, and a wife who doesn't. We live a happy normie-life in suburbia.

Back in the before-times I studied #linguistics at #AarhusUniversity. I think about #AncientRome and #AncientGreece probably every hour or so.

Realized I never did an #introduction post!

I'm a socially-anxious #pan / #bi elder millennial with blue hair & pronouns in the bio (she/they) in upstate NY with their spouse & 3 cats (Shadow, Kikashi, Cannoli)

Work: tech side of healthcare, support & dev experience -- mostly #C++ and #Javascript
