u are better off just buying something made by Bud or Miller rather than wasting your time, energy, and money on something that will likely taste like acorns and way too many hops anyway. A nice Miller Lite goes with everything - a steak or a rainy day. A Budweiser celebrates your uncle's birthday just as well as an organic milk stout made from the teets of cows fed only the grass of Wrigley Field. I'd say a Sam Adams is about as bougie as you need to get, and that's only when the boss throws some OT your way or when your muni is out of your favorite Mickey's grenades. Stop putting your hope in the wrong places and just crack open a cold High Life. #iamrich

the problem is Ive abused alcohol for so long I need at least 9% abv to even feel a buzz otherwise I gotta down a 30 rack and that's just too much work. I ain't loving with that steel reserve poo poo, so it's double ipas and imperials for me. nothing tastes better than feeling fuzzy off some brews

Actually for like a few bucks more you can buy 9% beer that's basically like two Buds or Millers so it literally is also more cost effective.

Also it's super easy to just ignore the 5000 IPAs and then get like a Hell or High Watermelon which is a perfectly delicious beer with a flavor that any loving retard could recognize immediately.

IMO this is the same as retards that complain about wine snobs but that's just because they're afraid of looking like faggots in front of people in the liquor store. I've worked in the industry for like 8 years so you really just do look like a total retard.

There are good microbrews, which you will like and all your friends will tell you are disgusting, but it takes thousands of dollars and a year of weekends to find even a dozen of these. And in the mean time you're going to swallow loads of gutrot and reek like bilious snot so good luck trying to salvage a bad drinking night by chatting up the unshaven puss puss at the local drive.

As a brewer the OP is wrong and doesnt understand how money works 70% 6row pale malt 30% rice Some cheap bittering hops 60min boil, lager yeast 4% Vs say 76.9% maris otter 7.7% malted oat 7.5% flaked oats/barley 4.6% carafa III 3.3% caraaroma 90minute, 30minute and 5 minute hop additions 28ibu 4.8% ale yeast One is an easy drinking cheap beer / lawnmower The other is a full bodied velvet twisted stout Typing on phone but you get the idea

krampster2 posted:not really, what are you saying about beer? Your miller lite and your buds are super cheap to produce, the 30% rice really helps out too, it adds 0 flavour but adds fermentable in the mash witb theb6row pale malt, the insane scale they work on aswell helps make them save money aswell as they can just buy 2 mash ingredients on bulk Where as a microbrewery is much smaller, most popular size in UK is 5barrel (681.37 litres) is the average size but there are many different sizes. Microbreweries tend to not produce only 1 beer style aswell, so you have a pale ale, an ipa, best bitter, porter and stout, those are 5 basic styles breweries start off producing then expand out of that but you different types of grains you'd need for those basic five can range from 6 to 15 depending on how well managed the recipes are and if its pure business or if they want to produce the best. And this is just malt let alone the other ingredients Then when you get into conditioning space, keg cask or bottle, number of fermenters, turn over of beer / production, beer loss wastage and so on tldr: bud is cheap because they cut it with rice and have such a huge upscale, a proper pilsner lager is more expensive for example because they use 100% pils malt and with a noble hop first addition and small late addition of saaz hops which is low AA(tends to be 2%-4% AA) Ill try explain it better when im not half asleep and at my computer Fluo fucked around with this message at 10:33 on May 25, 2015 |

Gotta be honest: I've drunk a lot of beer and went through, esp micros, and my go-to beer is now Corona Extra/ Light Sometimes it comes with a g straw hat that I can wear while I garden/ mow the lawn while I drink Corona Extra/ Light to refresh myself

midnightclimax posted:How expensive is a beginner's kit for brewing? I'd mainly be interested in either really dark stuff or wheat beer like Hoegaarden. We talking extract (+ speciality malt) or allgrain (mash tun or brew in a bag). Extract + speciality is easier and cheaper short term but not long term and not as much control. But generally unless you want allgrain mashtun way with fly sparge or batch sparging its not that expensive. Say you want to do 5uk gallon (22.73 litre batches) around £40 id say, thats extract + speciality grains. When you go up youd need more equipment and such like wort chillers and such. Your first few batches should be extract speciality anyway and dont worry if you just want to stick with that. It just needs 1 right size pot and a fermenter if 5 uk gallon look for a 7.5gallon pot but it depends how you chill it Anyway I highly recommend first buying The Complete Joy of Homebrewing by Charlie Papazian, its got everything a beginner novice and intermediate needs to know and enjoyable read too! edit: also big recommend check out the homebrew thread OP in goobs with spoons, its an ace write up Fluo fucked around with this message at 11:10 on May 25, 2015 |

krampster2 posted:oh okay thanks Brew in the bag is really popular in Australia I hear also because of water waste on normal wort chillers they transfer the hot wort into plastic rectangular fermenting boxes, then after 3 days when it gets down to the right temp transfered off the trub into a feemenying bucket or carboy and yeast added and away you go! Price wise i can produce 50litres of 4% abv best bitter for roughly £38, but extract would be more expensive abit but not much and less equipment Fluo fucked around with this message at 11:49 on May 25, 2015 |
