I drink cans of Grolsch and will happily drink it in pubs,
but would choose Kirin or Peroni over it given the choice.

They have to put XXXX on the pumps
cos it would be illegal to put the real name of PISS.

I would imagine you might.

How much would you pay for a crate of my homebrew to sell in your pub?

(PsychoChomp, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 11:41, Reply)

I was goign to say something mean
but then I remembered that his pub is in Oxford, so there probably are people who'd pay to drink beer brewed from a Wilkinson's kit in your kitchen. In fact, they'd probably claim to know all about the microbrewery and wax lyrical on how it's so much nicer than the big brewery mass produced stuff even as they're slopping it down their fucking chunky-knit cardigans.

I'm sure the feeling's mutual

My beer and ciders are both pretty good, I wouldn't send them back in a pub.
And they cost me 40p a pint ish.

Do you have to save some of each batch
to seed the next batch? Or am I thinking about those weird cake things? It's definitely something to do with yeast...
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 4 Oct 2012, 11:50, Reply)

You can do that with yeast, but I tend to just use new yeast sachets because they're only 20p-£1

(PsychoChomp, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 11:54, Reply)

So how do you get a consistent taste with each batch?

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 4 Oct 2012, 11:58, Reply)

The secret ingredient is...
Love.

Well first, I don't, I tend to try different beers out all the time.
but second, the brewing yeast packets are labeled with the strains on, so you just make a note of the strain you used when you're making something, and then reuse it.

Fair enough.
You know, I made some skittles vodka last year for xmas. It's still in the fridge now. I expect it tastes like paint stripper.

That's thrush

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 11:55, Reply)

first crate you give me free,
if it sells, we can talk about price.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Thu 4 Oct 2012, 11:44, Reply)

I'd have to think of a name and do labels and stuff wouldn't I?

(PsychoChomp, Thu 4 Oct 2012, 11:46, Reply)

I could help you design labels
You know, if you didn't mind them being shit...
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 4 Oct 2012, 11:47, Reply)

not really,
if you're a small enough producer the rules are pretty slack. just needs highest point alcohol percentage, allergy info and that's it I think.
