Best Beers in WDW

[cy1229]

Well if we can start saying what beer we want in pavillions then I am sure that cy1229 will back me in demanding Hobgoblin for the UK pavillion.

YES!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if I should be glad, or frustrated, that I've become that predictable.

Want to know the odd thing Hobgoblin is not the nicest of the beers that wychwood produce there are much nicer ones it is just the one everyone knows.

It's the only one I've had. I don't know if I can get anything else here in Indy.

I demand this brew to be served at the Norway pavilion, STAT!

MMMMMMM Looks interesting.....Looks Wonderful

Tiki - I just looked at our best bar here in Jax and they serve 3 different types of Mead. I was surprised and may have to try one some time.

After doing a lot of research on mead today, I've come to the conclusion that I want to try my hand at making my own batch! It's super easy to make, all you need is patience (and water, honey, yeast and whatever kind of nutrients you want in it)

That pic of the Viking Blod that I posted is apparently really good. It's like ~15-19% alcohol but apparently really fruity. It peaks my interest.

Well, knowing someone who made it once, you will need to use something other than bread yeast. If you use that then you might as well make prison wine. The coworker who made mead used champagne yeast (you get it at any homebrew shop) but he said it's a bit difficult since you need enough water to not kill the yeast (since honey is anti-bacterial and can be used to preserve living tissue) but not too much as you will end up with vinegar

Wizz, you are quite knowledgeable and creative. Can you come up with a Subsonic brew to be shared at our next meet-up?

[Wizzard419]

I will call it "Butt-hurt brew" and it will be served to fanboys at epcot after they say phrases like "Why couldn't they bring Horizons back?"

Just went to a local homebrew shop today and picked up some wine yeast. Put some honey, candied ginger (cut into halves) and a handful of raisins into a gallon milk jug, filled it up with water roughly 3 inches below the mouth and shook it vigorously (with the cap on...). After it sat for a couple minutes I went ahead and added the wine yeast, stirred it gently for a couple seconds then slapped my ghetto airlock on the top of the jug. Ghetto Airlock = plastic tubing taped to the jug, leading into a container filled with water. Knowing my success rate and grades in science, i'll most likely fail at this project.

Did you remember step 1, sterilization?

Sounds legit.

Si senor.

And safe.
You'll have to let us know how it turns out. It doesn't sound very tasty ~ just like a really sweet wine?

[TikiTikiRoom]

I added a wine yeast meant for more aged red wines, so I'm guessing it'll have a drier taste? It smells amazing though. I also went fruit-crazy and added a few slices of fresh apple and agitated the jug a bit. Nothing drastic. I'll check it tonight after work around midnight and hopefully some fermentation will be taking place!

So sorry, my friends' 16 year old was hanging out with us last night while we were playing cards and it must have rubbed off on me. Of course I meant, his recipe sounds legitimate ~ there. May I have my smilies back please?!?!

And another 20 for failure to use the proper meme...





If I recall, the type of yeast won't contribute to that sort of thing but rather the amount of sugar consumed and gas put out.
