[[File:Wild hop harvest1.jpg|thumb|Harvest of wild hop from garden, 2015]] == Introduction == Brewing beer is easier when you think. There's a number of people in the space and other 'interested parties' who'd be interested in putting together a number of things to aid in the brewing of beer. A number of them have already brewed before; sometimes only from 'syrup', however, and not from 'full grain'. The aim of this project is to get together a group of people and pick a date and place to bring a number of tools together and perform the brewing of a few batches of full-grain beer. Expect to learn how beer-brewing takes place, as well as be experiencing all the associated skills that go with it. It's likely we'll need to weld a stand for a burner that'll support a 50-liter brewing-vessel. We'll need to work on adjusting/tuning/extending the malt-mill(s). We might even venture into automatic temperature monitoring and regulation, etc etc. etc. In other words; all the best things of all disciplines mashed up together. == Brew Days == === 3rd of October 2015 === We were * Marnix (cancelled) * Piele (present) * Justa (present) * Eduardo (came to watch) We brewed a around 18l of IPA and 13L of dark dark stout. Expect more info about these brews. Brew-day gallery is [[BrewBetterBeerSession20151003|here]] Note: the beers have been bottled and have been divided between Piele and Justa. Parties interested in trying them are invited to contact either person. === BeerBrewDay II - FirstOfMayBeerBrewDay - 2016-05-01 === Yay! Beer Brew Day II is upon us! We're going to go for a ServerRoom Saison; nicely kept at a high fermentation temperature by use of the electrons we recycle in our server-room ! (or is it the holes we're recycling....current is so confusing). We'll be trying to bring a number of beers with us from the previous brew-day, as well as some personal brewing experiments from home. Likely, we might brew a second beer too; style yet to be determined. Suggestions welcome ! Some other highlights: * New pully-driven barley-mill arrangement. Exciting amount of possible failure-modes ! * High-volume batch brewing with small-batch equipment. How to get the most out of your gear * Invitation to people to bring their brewing-kits: let us help you brew your first/better beer! * Guide into the entire process for novices * Opportunity for asking questions about the finer points of the process. More information can be found on [[FirstOfMayBeerBrewDay]] event-page! === 2017-04-09 - Double trouble in Heemskerk === ====Who brewed:==== * Wouter * Piele * Katje * Justa ====What did we make?==== =====Batch 1: Serverroom Saison - ~162l===== * Brew Length: 162L * OG: 1.060 Grain Bill: * Pilsner Malt - 85% * Wheat Malt - 5% * Table Sugar - 10% Mash steps: * Single step 60min @ 67C. 5L/kg. * Mash out @ 78C Hops: * 383g - EKG @ 5.93% alpha.
