PTR: Brewing The First Brew For Weiss Ass Brewing Co.

[PhishyBrewer]

So as some of you might know... I'm a brewer by trade. I work for one of thee largest brewing companies in the world. Well... brewing the same thing day in and day out get's old REAL quick. So what I wanted to do was start brewing my own stuff at home. This was test brew for sure. I made a lot of mistakes and I'm not setting my hopes high for this brew to taste awesome. Brewing from 750BLS to 5gals is a big difference and a challenge.

 

Here are some teaser photos.

When will you be able to taste it? I am sure it will taste nice. And how long does it take to make beer?

[PhishyBrewer]

^A brew like this will take 2 weeks to ferment in the carboy. Then after that I will prime it with corn starch and a bottle it. It's needs to sit in the bottle for 2 weeks before it can be consumed.

The third picture makes me laugh. It just makes me laugh, because I am a silly girl.

^Kind of reminds you of Disneyland Hong Kong... doesn't it?

^It reminds me of what I do when I drink too much beer. Looks like the kettle feels the same way!

[robbalvey]

Wow...makes me miss the days of my home brewing.

 

Funny. I used to really like making beer, but I rarely drink the stuff!

Hmm--it is an amazing simulation of what happens after consuming a keg of brew.

Wow that brings me back to when I lived at home. My stepfather used to brew at home. I used to hate when he would cook everything on the stove. I never was a fan of that. I used to love helping him out though. I used to help bottle and stuff, and watching it ferment was cool too.

 

Good luck on your new brew!!

Jim Koch started Sam Adams in his kitchen. Wally, you may be the next big thing to hit the beer market! I'll be able to say "I gave him HopDevil once!" proudly. Hope it turns out good and not skunky.

Good luck with the brew. Keep us posted on how it turns out. Do you plan on filtering after fermentation? For my first brew, I regret not filtering to remove the chill haze. It turned out great, but it was a bit cloudy. It was one yummy IPA.

What is it that makes a beer taste/smell skunky in the first place... St. Pauli Girl reeks of it...

I don't plan on filtering this beer in any means. Gypsum was added during the brewing process, so that will cut down greatly on the cloudiness. Calcium Sulfate is great to add after the the steeping of the grains. It's collects a lot of those proteins in the beer that create that cloudiness haze.

[trustkill22]

Gypsum??? Isn't that that seed that people eat these days to trip out and stuff on.

 

The beer is looking good Phishy. All you have to hope for is all the hard work pays off and it comes out good.

[PhishyBrewer]

^I have purchased a large fridge for the garage so I can ferment the beer at the exact temperature I want it. The next batch so be just about perfect.

[PhishyBrewer]

More equipment add this week. It's getting bigger and bigger.
