@bracconiere Sad anniversary soon..commemorative 'recipe'

[Broken Crow]

I miss @bracconiere . This April marks a year since he left us. I want to make a terrible brew of his to raise a glass to him. This isn't a full recipe, but it's what he was drinking around the time of his death and I believe he'd get a kick out of it being shared here and made by some of us in his memory;...this is a qoute from a PM:
"and honestly it's not straight sugar water, i add a half gallon of orange juice to a keg.....actually pretty good to be honest, just kinda to easy to admit to, lol"

 

[lumpher]

Yep, he was full of life, ironically. Many of us read his comments with a wry grin. Off to the grocery store for that sugar. I'll join in in his memory.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Oh, no. I didn't realize he passed.

I was gone for a while and I've been wondering, then I started really wondering.

While driving through the glorious South West, both ways, I found myself fantasizing about how great it would be if I could look him up, maybe hit a local LHBS, and sneakily leave a sack of fancy imported malt on his doorstep, quietly leave, then watch the chaos unfold on the forum.

Damn.

This one's for you, Bracc


and this one, because Bracc

The thread title changed from a question to memorial part way through.

I've got a pile of feed store home malted wheat that I should whip into an honorarium brew. Keeping it handily under $5 for the batch should do nicely.

Be sure to make it 8% ABV and add gluco so that you're not wasting calories on carbs to get your alcohol.

I miss him too.

And don't forget to use at least a pound of 2016 crystal hops.

Carb to the gram of CO2. Be sure to calibrate scale to the phase of moon.

And be sure to post pics of your box fan deculminator

Appreciate it, sir.

Very happy to see that he hasn't been forgotten. I was thinking about him the other day, that it's been almost a year.

Made my Bracc Brew today, though honestly I'll confess it's much closer to my normal brewing than not.

18 lbs of home malted feedmill wheat.

Extraction efficiency isn't the best, so I did the pressure cooker treatment after a short mash. I actually plan to clean the stove - someday.

Doing a split flavor batch. One gets chopped grapefruit zest, because they got frost bit and were going bad. The other got a quart of canned dried blueberries I got from a bear bait place for $0.60/lb.

2019 Crystal hops and unknown homegrown hops I called Wilamette. <$10 for 10 gal. I used all the sugar in the house on blueberry wine earlier this week. So no booster to be had.

Pitched a slurry of Munich Lager, and off to the races!

LibreOffice and Firefox, who said you could use my PC?

 

[MaxStout]

And BeerSmith 2. No sense in spending $$$ that can otherwise go toward ingredients.

/And yes, it looks like my PC, too.
