Home Wine and Beer Makers

[Anonymous 0]

Hi Guys,
AshNahrak has suggested to me that we start a new thread concerning wine and beer making at home. I thought that was a good idea. The purpose of the thread would be for us to compare techniques, recipes, and general info from MGTOWs around the world.

To start off, there are different ways to make your favourite. One method is to source the grapes, pears, fruit etc. and press them to make the base food for the yeast. (least expensive but time intensive, What hobby isn’t?) Another is to buy a wine kit that has the pressed fruit in a bladder and you add the water yeast and sugar. I’m sure there are others and I would welcome more dialogue on this. For instance Ash a recipe for ginger and chili wine. Cool!!
Which method you choose depends on your motivation for making in the first place. I have a lot of fun after the wine is bottled making personalized labels. They can say anything you want however risqué or conservative. For example a label could say MGTOW Forever or feminism sucks or Punted by MGTOW with a list underneath or just a series of jokes on whatever issue you feel like at the time. Stores that sell wine kits usually have a label printer and all the supplies you need. A word of caution here: if you have had even a small amount of graphic arts training, you could probably do better job than the store clerk.
Anyway……. the purpose of this thread is to see if there is any interest and if there is we can get into the finer details of wine and beer making in the future.

Thanx to AshNahrak for coming up with the suggestion

Good call.

A few years back one of my friends and me made some home brew and it was the best beer I’d ever had. In my experience, as long as you use decent raw materials, allow correct time for fermentation and ensure your gear is properly sterilised, the results are usually awesome.

For a decent MGTOW label, how about “I brewed it my own way”?

You say "love is a temple, love the higher law" ...You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl. And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt

So that would be: IBIMOW Ale or BIMOW Beer. lol.
I live in a city in Canada that has two rivers. They join near my home and are called the Red River and the Assiniboine Rivers. A fun label would be
Red Ass Ale. I can see it now: Hey Bro, pass me a Red Ass lol

I have a friend who makes really good whine, no perspectives, and must be refrigerated. He uses Napa Valley grape juice that comes in 5 gallon containers, his Merlot is the best!
The only thing I know about brewing beer, NO IRON, A chipped porcelain is enough to contaminate the batch, also the water you use must be free of iron.
Iron (unrelated) also inhibits nuclear reactions. Atom bombs are also Iron free, and look how good they work!

We tried beer making in the college dorms. Epic fail!

With that introduction, a guy in a town I once lived in started brewing beer in his garage. He now runs a microbrewery full time. He quit the corporate world years ago. He says brewing is the best job he ever had.

It is some of the best beer I have ever had. I like microbrewery beer better than any of the big name brands.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

If you can brew really cold – juuuuust enough warmth for the yeast to survive – you can get a really good result. Easier said than done, depending on your environs.

I have noticed that too. Do know why that is? Not a trick question! I would like to know because nobody I’ve talked to at the wine stores seems to know.

I got into brewing hoping to save on liquor stores. I did brew beer from scratch and typically it would take a full Sunday to do that the right way. I gradually developed a habit of going through 5 gallons per week. I sold all the equipment when the times got rough.
If you are into ales – then home brewing is the way to go. However, if you are into lagers – then buying makes more sense. Lagers are hard to brew in small batches, and it takes much longer and requires you to have a cool place with constant temperature

Thanx, Russky – That what I’ve been doing wrong

Nice one M52 .

That’s the one I used (loosely) but with Kiwi fruits instead of the raisins which were on offer at the time so i took the whole tray, yes I got some funny looks trying not to drop 30 kiwis on the way to the checkout.

I used the only yeast I had available which was champaign yeast and its got that same champagne after taste once the fire stops at least., Its a hot drink even when chilled which makes it kinda cool for winter.

I got started with this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1854861395?keywords=wine%20making&qid=1451822986&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3 and am still very much a noob but this book while slow and rightly so did get me going.

I would love some advice or direction on making my own ales but also if anyone knows a cool recipe for rum I would love to try it ( as a fuel of course since its illegal to produce in my country)..

Top tip for wine if your being adventurous and straying from or just using recipes as guidelines get a hydrometer or you might end up with a batch of wine so sweet its undrinkable much like I did on my second attempt.

M52 If you ever want a label designed I would be happy to help. Hmmm i need to find some label sheets or something that work with a regular printer.

PS. Good wine just dropped from £10 a bottle to under £1 now I would love to do the same for ale.

No idea, sorry. I read that in a booklet about making good beer and then had an experience that bore it out when I laid down a brew in winter.

Currently I make my own Bailey’s (easy to do, plenty of recipes on the net) and have been trying to make liqueurs on a vodka base – done two, they were really bad!
