/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>15523578
Think it's on /diy/

I've never had a homebrew that was worth half a shit. Commercial breweries do it better.

>>15523627
oh shit, you're right. thanks

>>15523704
that doesn't make any sense, this whole board could be on /diy/ by that standard. Show those cucks whose boss and make it here op

>>15523627
funny how a diy board has more cooking than the cooking board.

I tried to learn this. Seemed complicated

looks like a jug of bloody piss

>>15523785
not complicated at all

even the saying goes "relax, don't worry, have a homebrew

>>15523578
Off-style but I'm sure it tastes fine.

>>15523785
It's only as complicated as you want to make it. If you want to mash you can, but you can also make good beer with extract. Hell you can make pretty decent cider with storebought jugs of juice.

>homebrewing

>>15523785
I just mix water sugar and bread yeast, and its alcohol at $1 a gallon

>>15524002
Yeah, everyone should just buy hard seltzers like you instead

>>15523578
how do you begin doing this?
is it more cost effective long term than buying booze at the store?

>>15524069
>is it more cost effective long term than buying booze at the store?
no, it's like reloading ammunition, you just shoot more.

>>15524069
1) buy milled malt, dried hops and dried yeast from a store
2) add malt to hot water, wait to make sugar water aka wort
3) boil wort, add hops
4) cool wort, add yeast
5) wait
6) bottle
7) wait
8) enjoy your homebrew

you can get drunk easier and cheaper if you just buy cheap booze

>>15524108
>>you can get drunk easier and cheaper if you just buy cheap booze

if so then why brew? presumably for taste reasons?

>>15524115
basically yeah

you can experience a wide range of beer styles, just by changing the ingredients

>>15524115
it's a fun hobby and being able to share it with your friends is rewarding. but this is 4chan sooooo fuck you either try it out for yourself or don't. It doesn't matter to me either way, you massive fucking faggot.

Any tips on making a virgin beet kavass?

>>15524154
you're the faggot.

>>15524115
if you get good enough at ot you could always pursue a career in brewing

>>15524108
>>you can get drunk easier and cheaper if you just buy cheap booze
if yuo live in a shithole with big alcohol taxes, homebrewing is the way to go
>t. $2usd+ per can of beer, $30USD+ for bottom shelf vodka
>taxes so high bottom shelf and middle shelf are within 5% of each-other's prices at most stores

>>15524016
That's called prison wine

>>15524069
>is it more cost effective long term than buying booze at the store?
It's not cheaper than buying Coors lite ($0.069/oz), if that's what you mean. But if you're someone who buys a lot of craft or micro it can be way cheaper depending on how crazy you want to go with hops.

Assuming $40 for ingredients and yeast you're making 4.5 gallons of beer after separating trub/waste you're brewing beer at $0.069/oz vs. $0.138/oz for a six pack of beer ($9.99). If you're autistic enough to reuse yeast you can get the cost per batch lower.

If you drink cider it's way, way cheaper depending on whether you think a product made with store-bought juice is acceptable.

>>15524016
you also get the nice additional diarrhea detox

>>15524243
thats what alcohol does

for me
>2L cheap juice
>1 cup sugar
> shake it
>1/2 tspn yeast
>cover with balloon with holes
>wait 2 weeks
wah lah lah lah
fuck the government

>>15524327
Yup I do this too cause I'm an under 21 zoomer. Except I use a cheap airlock instead of a balloon

what dystopian places put such a high tax on alcohol?

>>15523578
What do I need to buy and do to make a drink that’ll boost my gut health ?

>>15524461
Do you like kombucha or kefir?

>>15524369
iceland and scandanavia

>>15523712
>Come to /ck/ to check on food and recipes
>The threads are full of retarded jokes, wojaks, and underage fags

>>15523709
They moved to /diy/ because /ck/ is the mcchickens and frogposting board now. The slower pace and reduced shitposting of /diy/ suit the long term process of homebrewing better.

>>15524679
I love both. I’m a reluctant buying a scoby or grains online tho + fear of botulism and shit

>>15524350
im 22 but in b.c canada so 2 dollar hooch or 30 dollar 12 case beer it is

>>15524771
The threat of botulism from kefir or kombucha is essentially nonexistent unless the milk or water already contains botulinum toxin. Clostridium Botulinum only thrives in anaerobic conditions; kombucha and kefir are both open air fermentations. The only danger from milk kefir is if it takes too long to ferment (like using too much milk for the grains to handle) and getting a salmonella infection or the milk going sour. Neither have ever happened to me. However, if you obtain grains from a reputable source (I bought from yemoos) they give you instructions for acclimating the new grains that make it basically idiot proof.

For kombucha the worst that can happen is mold, and that visually obvious.

>>15524861
>30 dollar 12 case beer it is
What the fuck

>>15526686
Wait I forgot canadian dollars aren't the same as burger dollars

>>15524016
In my country methylated spirits aren't actually methanol and are instead ethanol with colouring and an additive to induce vomiting. Buy some meths, filter it through a loaf of bread and add some powdered drink flavouring. Try not to die.

>>15524016
mmm kilju
>>15524002
fuck yeah

>brew 'bucha for the family since they like sweet drinks
>brew cider because it's a cheap and fizzy one, can gift to anyone and make out of any juice available at the store
>gonna start making mead since the taste is just amazing
homebrewing is a fun hobby ngl, just gotta invest in the equipment and then ferment anything with sugar in it lol

>>15524743
>The slower pace and reduced shitposting

>ask a question there
>wait literally weeks for a reply
>someone finally replies
>"maybe if you lurked more you would know the answer!".
>thread with someone asking a similar question was deleted months ago

>>15524069
it costs about as much as sugar costs, yeast is dirt cheap. put whatever berries and/or tea materials to add flavor, i used dried cannabis leaves and flavor was okay

>>15524350
i dont even use an airlock, just a lid that is just slightly left open for gas to escape, it turns out fine, at least with just hooch

don't mind me

just waiting for my wort to cool down in my sauna so I can kettle sour it for my raspberry gose

>>15527514
Lurk more.

>>15523578
way too dark and cloudy for a proper pils.

>>15529594
>kettle sour it for my raspberry gose
dangerously based

>>15529594
fucking pog my dude

>>15523926
Beer looks darker in bulk.
>>15523636
A lot of homebrewers aren't very good, but you can definitely make good homebrew.
