home brew is good

[wick]

Does anyone else find home brew more pleasant to drink than most of the cheaper commercial brands,or is it my imagination because i made it myself, is there some preservative in commercial beer, or is it gassed differently or something.

[pixelboy]

I MUCH prefer my brews to 90% of what's in the shops.

Commercial swill has sugars, preservatives, hop-oil (instead of real hops) and god knows what else in it.

My brews only have malt, hops, yeast and water.. just as the germans dictated in 5642 BC! And its costs about half what the cheapest megaswilled crap costs!

Wick,
I give my mates a choice. They can drink my homebrew, or Crownies, coronas or VB.
The reason I have the other brews there is because that's what's left behind by people who have spent the evening on the homebrew.
Homebrew, even cheap K&K when made properly is far superior to the megaswill.
Like pixelboy said...it's natural.
Cheers

Top Secret boyz, keep it to yourself because, I think that I would prefer to dink my home brew over any commercial beer that I can think of & now that I’m kegging my beer.. its just the shiznit.
I tell close friends that once you have a few of my brews it will spoil you for life and you will never enjoy another cheep and nasty (sorry rather dear and nasty) bought beer again..

How true this is for them I don’t know but for me it’s very true…
Besides the fact I make a EXTREMELY HIGH ALCOHOL beer and most people only have 2 pints and are written off but I’ve been drinking it for years so I think it’s funny as smeg ..

Watching a mate go from thirsty to smashed in one glass is hell funny ( I do warn them 1st not that they prob believe me.)
I have recently found out they call it rocket fuel as I met someone the other day (a friend of a friend) who said “owww ya, you’re the dude that makes the rocket fuel” lol my rep proceeds me.

Can't agree with you more cheap grain and a whole raft of tricks to make their product cost effective and of course they owe it to their shareholders. We get what you mean but not being critical, 5642 BC would read more like 1516 AD the German beer purity act. which they still retain today.

No wonder they call it rocket fuel!

Oww yer its bloody strong ..

[KEG]

does it taste like rocket fuel?

[ryan]

Catch 22...unless he`s drank real rocket fuel {unlikely } he`ll never know.
Add more white sugar, sez I. :idea

Geez Jim, I just noticed your avatar, nothing to do with the recipe, I hope?
I was going to make that.

[Bizier]

You said what I thought Ryan.

LMFAO.. Ok now that’s funny
No it doesn’t mate lol
May I suggest that you try just doing like 2kg or fermentable 1st as that will prob be way strong enough to knock ya socks off..
I was hesitant to tell yas how I make my beer because I was expecting a few bad comments but out of all the people I have had around here that have had a beer, no one has said it taste like shit…
they have however rang me up the next day and called me ever name under the sun because they got so smashed and then woke up just as pissed as when they when to bed and felt like they were going to die.. but nothing on the taste lol ..
The biggest thing with this is to make sure u leave it long enough or it can give you a taste of like paint thinners,, lmfao,, and seeing I’ve done a lot of spray painting I can back that one up..
No all joking aside that’s pretty much all ill make these days has a min 2kg of white sugar and 500g of malt in a coppers larger.. Very nice I don’t really dink anything ells..
Cheer guys and thankfully not any ass comments as of yet,, perhaps its not to some peoples liking but it is to mine and anyone that has come over here for a beer,,
Cheers and beers boyz

[drsmurto]

assuming a volume of 20L - rough calcs put that rocket fuel at 8%

Not my idea of beer.

Is this the same stuff you make without any worry about high ferment temps, sanitation etc

Guess its better than drinking metho........

[Gym_]

Ant had no complaints so far from any of the people that have been around here to drink it.. so perhaps you should try before you reticule ?
And can you point out were i have said anything about not worrying about sanitation ? i must of missed that one.
