What are you brewing?

How did your special beers for Easter turned up? Do you have something ready to drink or are you waiting for it to be ready?

Let's share what is fermenting, some good tasting #beer you made, something that didn't end up how you liked, happy little accidents that ended up well... Just everything homebrewing, #wine making, #cider , #mead ...

After last month post when I tried to post it through Mastodon, I would like to remind everyone here to leave the @homebrewing in the replie so everyone can see it on Lemmy.

From outside they look like this:

And it is soon time to start some Finnish low alcohol Sima.

Nothing. No time or energy right now. This season of life is poopy. I gave up all my hobbies. This one I miss the most.

That’s a bummer. Hopefully you will be able to pick some hobbies sooner than later even if it isn’t homebrewing. I just think that we are wired to do some things just for fun however small they are otherwise we get bit insane.
