Does anyone on /ck/ homebrew? I don't come here all the

I make cider because its very simple. Apple/Pear combo

/ck/ used to have homebrewing threads, but now it's become a /diy/ thing. I think the /ck/ regulars all became alcoholics and can no longer put in the effort.

I've never made cider. Is it similar to mead in terms of simplicity? Mead is literally mix honey and water then pitch yeast, wait for slight autolysis, then age for fucking ever.

/diy/ is so dead, though. Are the homebrewing threads nice?

>>7901945
Wouldn't that be as much perry as cider?

I've got 6 gallons of red wine, 2 gallons of mead, 3.5 gallons of makkgeoli or whatever, and 1 gallon of chinese rice wine going.

Need to make a bigger batch of mead, and bottle the wine. Want to start a sour beer too but have been lazy lately.

What's a good summer brew?

Is dat sum jenkem??????

Mostly apples Pear just cuts down on the tartness a bit, personal preference. My wife likes it with gingerale too.

The first few time I made it, it was super ghetto like that. I've graduated into doing it a little more professionally with precooking the apples on stovetop and putting the pears in steam trays.

Id like to add my own carbonation at some point but I just dont have the time.

Try Jamil's Summer Bitter and tell me how it is.

>Are the homebrewing threads nice

I homebrew, but honestly never go to /diy/, but from what I've heard they're good people, even if the board is a bit slow.

Anyone care to explain the appeal of sake? I just had a cup of it and I failed to discern a single redeeming quality. It's like sour alcohol water

There are a few of us. We have a few threads a year mostly. /diy/ also does homebrew if you're interested.

>>7901939
is that jenkem?

So if I want to brew a beer with some non citrus fruit flavor like that Hell or High Watermelon one, at what stage do I add the fruit?

I made a cider using normal bread yeast and it turned out week, did a second fermentation too. Going to make apple jack out of it, but i dont even drink so i dont know why im doing it.

You cant make methanol from cider can you?
