Beer update: I'll be moving my 100% rye beer from the barrel and bottling it. I'll be moving the chestnut beer from the fermenter to the barrel. I'll be brewing more 25% ABV in the fermenter since 15 gallons of it spilled out in my basement (I don't want to talk about it). Busy weekend coming up

I'm at 24.5% ABV which means it's time to barrel. I'll be keeping this batch in a "Yellow Buttery Popcorn Bourbon" barrel and aging it and year. #homebrewing #beer

Listen, I love my mom as much as anyone could love their mother, but man, boomers can use resources like nobody's business.

Don't mind me, I'm just over here crying to The Lion King at 6am with my 3 year old.

Well, I had to abandon my goal of a technically reinheitsgebot compliant 25% ABV and added some Ferm K. Man, is the yeast thanking me for that little treat. I'm at about 14.5% right now. #brewing #beer

Is it weird to anyone else that in 1000 years, our garbage dumps will be major archeological excavation sites?

Went to a community BBQ there and a random 11 year old girl ran up to me and excitedly and confidently asked 'are you Jack Black!?!' I've never been so honored and so devastated at the same time.

Decided that the remaining bottles of my 3000 year old beer deserve proper preservation and labeling.

Update on the 25% beer. It stalled at about 18%, so now I've added heat to take it from 65 degrees to 80 degrees. As soon as I added the heat the yeast started working again. Should be ready to barrel soon!

Alright, I've decided on my next beer. It's going to be 100% roasted chestnut slightly aged in a chestnut barrel. #ambrewing #homegrown #craftbeer

Okay Folks, my 25% ABV beer is getting closer to finished fermentation (then it's 18 months in a barrel). But my next project I'm going to leave it up to you:

I think the movement from "I don't know who it is, so I better answer the land-line" to "I don't know who it is, so I better not answer my cell phone" needs to be studied more.

Beer fun fact: Do not try this with carbonated beer.

I figured I'd post some articles that were listed about my 3000 year old beer so that people could easily reference. I'll start with the original article, which was incredible: www.sltrib.com/artsliving/f...

sltrib.com

A Millcreek man brewed a ‘3,000-year-old’ beer. Here’s how it tastes.

Like many potentially hare-brained projects, Dylan McDonnell’s idea to brew beer from yeast that’s nearly 3,000 years old started during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Oh hey everyone...so...what should this account be about? I'm thinking beer brewing, but politics and/or analytics are also up for grabs.

Not a great closing argument. Bleak.

Alright, it's Brewday. I'm using a 3 vessel system with a Brewzilla as the Mash Tun (I'll show pictures and videos later). We are going to be making a smoky apricot lager. As always, the first step is "clean"...as are the 2nd and 3rd steps too. #brewday

It's brew day tomorrow. Im brewing a full grain mash smoked apricot lager. I was going to post this on T.O.P. but I thought it might be better suited here. Thoughts? Is anyone interested in seeing that kind of content?

So...uh...I guess I'll be posting here more often...
