Home brewing is fun and not that complicated. Measuring the alcohol is a bit more of a challenge, but you do not have to do that.

Rollo is super cute as always! ☺️ the home brewing process you showcase here is absolutely fascinating and it makes me want to try it myself someday!

A Yeasty thought. You are right it is kind of like baking bread but slower. The yeast is quite important and type of yeast you use can result in a lot of different flavors. It is not just the hops. Some yeast result in a lot of esters, which in general you don’t want unless you get the right yeast for that. You get banana flavored esters when you brew with wheat and the right yeast (in wheat ales like Hefeweizen and Witbier) and you fruity and tart flavors with wild yeast when brewing Lambics, Geuze, and other Belgian fruity style beers.

You are Lulu. The floor is cleaned before my wife sees the mess and Rollo loves that kind of work.

Where I work, we have a client that makes yeast that’s used in home-brewing (professional breweries use it too). I never got into home-brewing myself though. Kind of in the same way I never had the urge to bake my own bread, I never had the urge to brew my own beer. The people who are into it are really into it, though! Kind of like how the people who bake bread are really into baking bread. Maybe it’s a yeast thing. 😉
