Erisian Brewer's Cadre. Or: How I saw the Goddess in the first place

[Eater of Clowns]

Luna's brew tried to shoot the cats.

Sounds like this concoction has its shit together.

Does it have an e-mail list I can sign up for?

You think I'm letting that fucker anywhere near the internet?  It'd go VIRAL...

Awesome awesome awesome. As soon as I saw this thread I grinned; I was sure some fellow Discordians would also be homebrewers, but I would never have guessed so many. Wicked!

I just bottled my second batch of mead, this one in question was a cyser with some banana, vanilla and cinnamon with a lager yeast, backsweetened with a little honey water. I've called it my "Golden Apple Mead," in honor of Goddess and because vacuumous consumption of the stuff will swiftly induce powerful Eristic episodes.

Sounds interesting, let us know how it comes out.

Last night, rather than going to the range and blowing the hell out of paper targets, we decided to brew, instead.

For shits and giggles, we decided to get CREATIVE.

We pulled the top off a pumpkin, emptied it out, poured in a mead must, tipped in the yeast, sealed the puppy up with wax (with an airlock installed via a hole drilled with a corkscrew), and are now hoping it doesn't explode in the kitchen.

That's very cool, I can only imagine how a punkin-fermented mead would taste... Sounds like the CO2 should vent without any problems, but don't quote me on that because for all I know you may be cleaning it off your walls by tomorrow :P

It's sitting down in a big-ass plastic tote, with a garbage bag over it (with a hole for the airlock to poke up through).  Hopefully it won't blow, and, if it DOES, it'll just pop the wax holding the lid down.

So  I decided to try to make beer.  I picked up a kit, and asked the ever helpful local homebrew hippies how to kick it up a bit, and fire off the resulting frankenbrew.

That was yesterday.  Today it blew the vapor lock clear off my fermenter, and I'm still working on containing it.  Should be some kickass beer.

Apparently my last cider attempt tried to kill Richter and he didn't tell me about it.

Navyguy and I decided to take some good ol' fashioned unpasteurized local cider, pop the tops, and let it sit for a week. Then threw it in a carboy and let it sit for another week. It turned into almost-vinegar to my tastes, but everyone seems to like it but us, so we've been giving bottles out on the pretense that A: Yes, this shit is almost vinegar and B: this shit is explosive and went off in my brewery like a gunshot, so keep it refrigerated.

Richter apparently liked it so much he took the bottle on a scenic drive past a police cruiser when the bottle decided to pop the cork and coat the inside of his vehicle with cider.
