This won't surprise anyone: I ferment the Amber Ale in an open vessel. I use Lallemand Nottingham dry yeast at 16°C. This is the Ol' Reliable of the homebrewing world and I was always super impressed by how clean it ferments almost any beer under almost any condition.

I am also excited to see the effect of Kräusen-scooping on the hop notes. West coast hops like Cascade can get a little grating and by scooping the hop resins off, this should make the beer a bit smoother.

Brewday at Brudi Bräu!

Today I am making an American style Session Amber Ale. I think this is an underrated and underbrewed style. Plus when I had Madtree's Amber Ale in Cincinnati last year, I thought I should drink this stuff more often. And since this style is even harder to find in Germany than the US, I have to make it first.

I finally printed the new labels and I love them already!

Any suggestions on what style of beer to make with kernza as ~15% of the grain bill?

I was just going to use it along with pilsner malt for a saison, but if someone has a better idea, I'm listening.

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

In December, I started watching all episodes of the Danish programme bonderøven about a smallholder's life.
Many things are familiar, but some are new to me like the replaceable swing tops for recycled (edit: should be "reused") wine bottles.
I tried to find an EU supplier, but only got something from China. One swing top cost me 0.73€.

Edit: As @Mutedog correctly replied: Wine bottles are not fit to hold pressure. The collars fit champagne bottle too though.

No idea why I am awake at 6 AM. But I checked on my Schwarzbier and it had reached pitching temperature so I pitched the yeast. Very quickly because opening the ferminator for two minutes made the temperature probe already go up a degree. If I want to continue with an open fermentation, I have to learn how to scoop off kräusen very quickly...

Brew day today since I had to dump the previous beer. Brewing up some winter saison and a riwaka bock.

The jumping spider I didn't vacuum up yesterday is guarding the observation bottle of hefeweizen. I don't think I wiped it off so there's probably some edibles there for it.

Have you ever wondered which grape varietals were used in ancient times?

Turns out they used grapes which were quite like modern grapes:

Edit: Reading it again, medieval wine varietals are close to the ones used now - Roman grapes were different. For Roman grapes you should look to Iberia and Eastern Europe for matches.

Attempting to use cut up straw and mash hops as lauter aids (instead of rice hulls) in this 70/30 wheat/pilsner mash. Pray for me.

I have decided to get a "Corporate Identity" for my beer bottle labels. The hand drawn labels were a lot of fun but they took forever to make and I'm running out of good ideas.

I was thinking about giving each of my beers its own color like Westvleteren or Chimay do. Starting with pink because f*ck toxic masculinity in beer culture!

Thanks to my sister for coming up with a label and thanks to the girlfriend for vectorizing it.

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

I've just finished cleaning up after crushing and pressing apples yesterday for cider making.

Cider making tips:

Wash the apples and remove bad bits;
Use RIPE apples;
Use a mixture of varieties;
Ideally, two thirds eaters and one third cookers;
The smaller the pieces of crushed apple, the more juice you will get;
Get your kids/grandkids to help but don't let them drink all the juice!;
Cider always tastes better a year after it was made.

I wrote a short-ish but fairly comprehensive guide to making home made cider for beginners:

It's not a recipe, but I hope it helps someone out none the less!

Comments welcome - it's not done, so let me know which parts could be improved.
