Brewing The Raspberry Pink Lemonade

Welcome back all. In this series of video's I am making one of Larry's "Black Dog Saloon" Lentz's famous recipes for Lemonade Hooch. I am going to switch it up just a tad by adding a extra pound of honey and using Pink Lemonade mix instead of regular Lemonade mix.

I wasn't able to make this into a mini movie like I've done before. So here are the clips as it happened. I'm sure everyone will still get a good laugh out of it.







In Part 2 I'll be adding the 2 lbs Corn Sugar, 3 lbs Honey, and 2 lbs Golden DME to the 1 gallon of water I have heating up to over 175 degrees.










In Part 3 I'm just telling you all where I'm at in the whole process.









I decided to do a yeast starter .







As soon as I figure how to edit this next clip I'll post it. It seems to be too larger to down load right now.

Mead Making Fun

Not sure if this will load completely yet or not. It's like a small movie of a Mead we did a few weeks back. My buddy Mark was up and helped out with the brew.
I'm sure you will get a laugh out of this one.

Well it looks like it loaded afterall. I hope you all enjoyed that video. We'll see you next time...

Welp here is a update on the Mead Project.

Enjoy


If anyone has any idea on what might have went wrong in this process please leave me a comment and suggestions. I'm going to try and add some more yeast to the fermenter and see if that helps. I'll update again when I do that.

Carbonate the Screaming Viking

You'll all have to bare with me until I figure this whole blog thing out. My posts are going to seem a little out of order. But it's all in fun so what the heck...
Here I am carbonating the The Screaming Viking and possibly coming up with a new name in the mean time....



Now it's time to see just what this tastes like. I'm just hopeing it doesn't taste like poop....

Looks like it all worked out and it tastes pretty good. It's been about 2 weeks since this one was kegged and it has just gotten better and better. I'm thinking that I might just like this All Grain Brewing!!!!

Screaming Viking Continued

Now that the Screaming Viking has made it through all the fermentation it's time to put it into the keg.


Now that we transferred the brew from the secondary into the keg it's time to carbonate. I do this by jacking the pressure up to 30 psi and rolling the keg around on the floor to mix the CO2 in with the beer in the keg.

Now that we have the Screaming Viking in the keg and it's in the carbonation process we can do a taste test to see how the beer is going to taste. Let cross our fingers and hope that it doesn't taste like poop.
