Hello everyone, my name is Lawrence and I started hombrewing 4 years ago. I very quickly pushed myself through from kitchen top BIAB, to tiered water cooler to my now almost fully finished 75ltr HERMS system in the garage. I think its fair to say the equipment side has kept me busy but now I have a system I'm happy with, I can now start to concentrate on nailing bold recipes.

During the COVID lockdown I also decided to start brewtubing under Ferment & Rise which has been educational in itself! I personally struggled to find well produced videos that are clear, engaging and to the point. Hopefully I can share my experiences in a new way that few Brewtubers currently do to further support the community.

This is an exciting passion that's been very all consuming for me especially as I have 2 kids aged 2 and 4 but it has survived so looks like it is here to stay :D

Anyway, thought I would say hello and looking forward to seeing what everyone is getting up to.
 
Hello and welcome. Why not post a photo of your system in the garage. Sounds good.
Never heard of brewtubing or ferment and rise. Care to give and outline?
Happy brewing.
 
Here is a pic of the black hole that keeps taking all my time 😃

Haha I was also confused by this. Like Sherlock himself, I deduced that Brewtubing = brewing on YouTube, Ferment and Rise is the name of the channel.
Ok so the whole brewtubing' thing got me too. When i started putting videos on YouTube somebody referred to me as a 'brewtuber' and then after a bit of research it turns out it's a quirky label attached to those who share homebrewing videos which i never knew existed :)
 
Welcome - nice kit!

What's your drink to sell/giveaway ratio? That's a lot of production!
At the moment we only produce 21 ltrs each time (enough to fill a corny) and a fair amount of that is bottled from keg and given away or people come round and end up getting the 'flight' of whats on tap which inevitably turns into sessionable evenings. We are about to get the approvals and do what it takes to make it 'commercial' even though on this scale will most likely generate a loss or break even, but the idea is to produce max output on this kit of really different beers to get some traction for the future if an opportunity comes up. We have a toasted coconut stout lined up next and a wild blackberry and apple saision so exciting month ahead :D
 
I have been reading the designing great beers book and can't wait to test a new stout recipe I have built from the knowledge. I love stout so much and the last time I made it with coconut I could'nt believe how well it worked and how strong the coconut taste came through, it reminded me of a bounty so much, it was amazing.

On the other end of the spectrum though I love a New England IPA which I think I finally cracked with the last brew attempt.
