Allrighty, it's 35°C outside, time to brew a big and honking Baltic Porter for Christmas! 😅

Today is #brewday .

Am I sure about this? 😅

Happy belated #Brewday 😂 #homebrewing
#Brewday had to be postponed because of supply chain issues. But now we're set. Albeit with a greatly reduced brew team. #homebrewing

So, next Saturday is #Brewday and I'm gonna try to push the output of our brew kit. The kettle has a volume of 30 liters and so far we have used recipes for 30l of total mash water, usually ending up with ~23l of post-boil wort.

But we had good results with keeping the strike water a little lower and using more sparge water, which in the end means we never really maxed out the kettle capacity. Therefore we're gonna try to hit ~28l of wort next time. #homebrewing

Brewday - Sidewinder IPA på flaske og så er det tid til at få julebryggen igang så den kan blive lækker om 6+ måneder. Det bliver nok også de sidste bryg for i år, selvom pilsneren næsten er drukket, den faldt i god smag :-) #brewday #homebrew #craftbeer #beer #danmark #denmark
To split up the mundane task of sterilising and bottling my Merlot, I turned bottling day into #brewday :) A local #mead made with honey from Winterton, and a Nutmeg and Ginger #wine for no apparent reason.
Temp too high at the moment to pitch the yeast so i'm waiting an hour.

And it's #Brewday. We're doing the same "Bavarian IPA" like half a year ago, to test if we can get a consistent result. If we do, we might use the recipe as basis for another attempt at a milkshake IPA.

Here we go! It's #Brewday for the Bière de garde amber with some honey in it. Could only find a jar with a chunk of honey comb so that will go into the fermenter too and we'll see what happens 🤷‍♂️
And now for something completely different... another #brewday, another #homebrew Czech lager. I'm aiming for a Světlé výčepní, the classic session-strength Czech pale lager, usually 3–4% ABV.
