So I'm trying my hand at home brewing beer. I started my first batch 2 weeks ago, and finally bottled it last night. It should be ready in another 2 weeks! I can't wait to try it; it smells delicious 🍺

That reminds me... I should make a batch of kvas. It's been too long :/

Looks great. Out of curiosity (not really a fan of beer), how is it done? (An article or something that you used would do)

What recipe, can you share?

@RememberMe I got a Northern Brewer starter kit, which comes with a guide: https://northernbrewer.com/blogs/...

@karma I got the Northern Brewer caribou slobber recipe.

@netikras What's kvas?

@Gogeta70 My bad, it's kvass (double s) :)

It's a beverage, somewhat similar to beer. You take slices of bread, burn them, grind them, soak 'em in water w/ sugar and yeast, raisins, some additional flavours you like. Once yeasts have nearly finished and the taste is right, bottle it up and store in a fridge well corked (yeasts are still a lil active in there, once they broke one of my thickest bottles in there).

It has very little alco (up to 2%) and is vee-eeery nice to drink chilled, esp. when the day is hot.

It's a legacy from soviet days I really enjoy :)

Does homade cannabis oil also count?

Homebrewed beer, if property made, is the best beer you will ever drink.

Damn that's quite fast, I spend 8 months on my mead (same brewing principles as beer) 😄

@MeadCoder Why does mead take so long?

@Gogeta70 mainly because of my own recipe, but I'm brewing with wine yeast also, that have something to do with it and love 😂

@netikras That sounds pretty good. Too bad the percentage is so low.

@Gogeta70 imo that's a good thing 😁

@netikras we call that JAILHOUSE HOOCH in the US.

@tofonion isn't hooch a different thing, supposed to be strong? Kvass should never be strong. It is classified as non-alcoholic afterall

@MeadCoder Well gentlemen (and ladies?), the beer turned out very good. I wish I had enough to send to you all :P

I made wine at home and it came out delicious.
