One of my friends brews beer in his spare time and actually does a damn good job at this. Actually back in the days I had covinced him to make a hive account ( I think it was actually still steem back in the days even) and write about this, but he never really did. A bummer because I known he enjoys also making snaps about this topic, and logging the process of brewing beer...
So why not write something about it? (just do it @dersjoerd , I know you can!!)
Apart from that the process is fun of brewing beer (I suppose, never have acually tried it to be honest), it is also a super good extra something to share with your friends.
Imagine an evening on a roof somewhere in the city of Eindhoven with a group of friends who haven't seen each other for a while now. One of them has the hobby of brewing beer and has made all kinds of different flavours and alcohol percentages in there.
Everyone has a tasting glass (which is just a small glass so you are able to try more different kinds of things apart from getting too hammered too fast) and everytime a new sort of bottle comes up on the table. Yeah, exactly...with paper labels with hand written texts of what it all is.
Flavours, flavours, flavours
One beer is more of a porter like of barley wine, the next one is a fruity mango. Or as you can see in the snap above....Two glasses are from the same bottle, but have a totally different colour. It means the yeast has sunken too much to the bottom. Not every sip is a winner as it seems.
Rhubarb beer even, and I don't even like rhubarb at all. Also the story from the mango beer accompanying this was good. With the sugars from the mango beer fermenting a bit too fast creating too much gas, a lot of cans exploded throughout the night in the process of waiting for the right alcohol percentage.
I guess, home brewing really is trial and error after all.
Fooooood
You can't have been with a little snack on the side right? So with a small barbeque there and adding all of the ingredients to create the perfect bahn mi (vietnamese sandwich) to join in next to these beers....
Can someone tell me, why I had eaten already beforehand?
The perfect bahn mi to me should have some pate on there, some mayonaise or maybe even something like wasabi mayonaise. Onions wich had stayed overnight in vinegar for a bit to get the perfect sourness in there. Some spring onion and porkbelly and again...carrot with a hint of vinegar in there.
Yummy!
So why am I the only one writing about this and about the process while there is so much to tell about it....
Hmmmmm..we need more hivians telling stories about homebrewing beer
Mein Nachbar, damals in CH, hat auch Bier gebraut. Ich habe ihm auch schon geholfen und es gab immer ein grosses Fest. EINE GUTE SACHE
Hahahaha also vielleicht kannst du diesere Nachtrichten nach anderen weiter leiten weil das ist GENAU recht!
Bier ist für mehrere lüütlis!
👍👍👍🍺🍻🍺🍻 Is gezellig
Bahn Mi and Beer is such the perfect combo. By the way, I hope your friend wants to create a Hive account since now it's more community focused and way easier to connect with people who share similar interest.
Well I think he already has because he also had the steem account.
And indeed...bahn mi and beer is endless winning!
