I currently don’t have much time to put into hobbies, but I did some gardening/landscaping during a break in the rain last weekend. Felt great to get out and move around. Garden finally is put to bed for the winter (or what’s left of it).

I brew beer with a friend.
Started with a simple kettle, bucket, and malt extract.
Now we both have a kegging system and an all-in-one all-grain system that we are going to upgrade to make larger batches.
We are also bringing on a friend who has two stainless steel unitanks with a glycol chiller.
We have intentions of opening a nano brewery, but that’s much further down the line. Mainly cuz it’s so damn expensive.
The last red I made was a disaster. Recipe was terrible and it came out insanely malty. Had to drink it all as Shanties.
Damn that sucks. I’ve made my fair share of bad ones for sure.
We made a Skittles seltzer once. It was down right horrible. Undrinkable, used too many Skittles and didn’t use any sort of muslin bag or anything thinking it’ll all just dissolve. It was chunky and unbearablely sweet. Had to pour it all down the drain.
The last one we made though was awesome. Made a west coast and used Belgian yeast. It was so good my roommate drank all of it. I only had a few beers. Didn’t last a fucking week.
We are gonna brew a lager this weekend.
I’m not exactly proud of it, but dude ChaGPT can make some pretty good recipes.
What kind of setup do you have?
