Anyone here homebrew?

Have been putting it off forever but did an overnight mash to save time. Making an apricot ale for the missus. Just squeaked it in before I leave for work two weeks tomorrow morning.



I don’t drink that much nowadays and not as much company is coming over so if you guys could help me drain the 3 beers I have on tap in the garage I’d be thankful! :joy:

I agree, I drink rootbeer from a place in state college, pa called Ottos, they have a brewery there and make it on site. I think it is delicious. Get some everytime we visit the kid at college. Someone had just dropped a six pack here (they say to pick it up from the bottom, but no one reads signs).

Here is some of the non alcoholic stuff they brew.

I gotta try that. I love root beer. Hard to beat an A&W from a place that has it in the barrels

Love myself a nice cream soda or even sassparilla. Have always thought about brewing one and maybe someday I will.

We have made cream soda at home. It was some type of kit, but I can’t remember exactly what was involved. The boys did it one year.

The place I buy it from has a restaurant/pub. I have had it there while eating and I like it in the bottle better than on tap. It may be the local water/ice watering it down that I don’t care for. The stuff in the bottle tastes crisper to me.

Pm me your address and I’ll send you a bottle.

I didn’t even know they had root beer in barrels. That’s pretty cool. They used to have a handful of A&W’s around here. There’s only one left.

You need to go there and get a root beer before they close. All the ones around me closed. I took a 200 mike detour in Oklahoma on our Rt 66 yep so my son could get one. He loves root beers and strawberry sodas

We had an A&W here and it closed about a year ago. I never went in but sure love Root Beer. Ever saw it in a barrel though. (Excerpt the hard candies :rofl:)


Thank you kindly. I hope it’s not sacrilege, but I’m drinking it from an A&W mug

IBC is decent but nothing beats Barq’s

How was the Fitz’s?

Barqs has a little too much bite. Fitz was a little buttery, like a cross between A&W and a cream soda. I liked it. Mike sent me 4 but UPS busted up two of them. I drank one and was going to make a float with the other but the baby boy found it and opened it before I could throw my shoe at him

That must be what I love about it. Nice review lol I’ll have to find a website that has ALL the root beers to order and sample. If I can’t find one I’m making one haha. Sorry bout your float that could have been :rofl:
