Did this sell in the end?

I have been growing my own hops for a few years and posting pictures in this thread. I have always harboured the fantasy that they would somehow be used commercially. Well its happened! It might not be beer (it’s actually kombucha) but its on sale and tastes great. So proud 🤣🤣🤣

When I was experimenting to make the best possible beer for the least possible money I reused yeast - particularly Kveik which I top-cropped dried and then froze. It was easy and It worked perfectly. I also grow my own hops. However you can also buy a selection of 10 CML yeasts for the...

Is this still for sale?

Really interested to see the process

How do you find the Ooni?

I have a Panasonic. I use it to make pizza dough and also to knead dough before I cook it in a Dutch oven. Makes brilliant bread cheaply and you know what’s in it. No sugar or crap as in shop bought bread.

West coast ipa please.

Grapefruit APA

I did exactly that last year and it was a very nice beer. LME is a perfectly legitimate base for a beer and Mangrove Jacks LME is cheap and good.

Year two crop from two bines. One cascade one centennial.I don’t think I need this many!

Me too - I have still to get any grapes on my four year old vine

I am very impressed- looks like it would make a great brewery 🤣

It looks fantastic Anna - you certainly have some energy. We planted loads of veggies this year but when it came to looking after them I realised I’d rather go sailing

Thanks for posting it is really interesting particularly if you’ve had a hankering (as many of us will admit to) for running a microbrewery - it makes you realise how much harder it is to brew at scale and the learning curve of using the available equipment particularly as it belongs to someone...

There is a very interesting podcast on homebrewingdiy.com. Podcast Episode 78 – Making Clear Beer with Jamie Carmichael. He is an expert on finings and he says everybody uses far too much protoflac. I think he said one tablet is enough for an industrial size brew. So he said to just use a gram...

I use a teaspoon in cider - very sparkling!

I guess I still basically follow 2+2+2 so so around two weeks even if it finishes much quicker - I like to let the yeast clean up after itself. I used to brew in an open bucket but have recently got a stainless steel conical which allows me to dump yeast on day three or four to help clear. Then...

You’ll have to show us an updated picture of your brew space so we can marvel at all your shiny gizmos. I have now pretty much outgrown the utility room and am considering commandeering the shed. But what to do with the bicycles? I also much prefer the crafty masters grain and have 23 kg of it...

How disappointing. However what you have come up with seems like a really good plan. I guess all new breweries have set backs which is essentially what you are and it’s onwards and upwards. Keep us updated we are all very interested and supportive of what you are doing!
