So week ago I and my friends brew beer, had BBQ and ecologicaly liquidated my beer/cider stockpile.
Let’s just say that all of us has some murky memory of it.
I just know that everything got according to plan and the beer is good.
So do you drink when you are brewing?

100% of the time, even if it’s a weekend morning brew. It just doesn’t feel right to make beer and not have one.
Yeah we started at 10 am (first bottle opened) and then one friend took me to pub in evening. So 12 hours of drinking.
I don’t, I am too busy sanitizing and calculating things… 😂
No, I usually start in the morning. Coffee for me, too early for beer.
Step one of brewing is to drink brew while I brew! But I write everything down in my log to refer to later - measurements, observations, things that go well and things to improve on.
It’s great to check that one beer I had hiding in the closet that aged amazingly well. Now I have a hope of repeating it.
I’ll have one after I’ve dropped in the bittering hops, and one between pitching the yeast and cleanup. Too many little whoopsies if I have more.
Usually, yes. But at the boiling step, so in the second half of the brew
Depends on the mood, if I feel like some beers? Yes. If I don’t feel like some beers? No
no, because I normally start brewing at 8 in the morning to fit into my schedule.
The Braumeister says ‘Cheers!’ once done boiling. It would be rude to leave it hanging and can’t very well cheer with water now…
I strictly only drink afterwards. During brewing, I want to keep a sharp mind so that I don’t mess anything up, and just stick to the plan.
After everything is done and cleaned up, I’ll happily have a few beers and a pizza.
