Brewing

Whats the difference between a port and a wine?

I believe port is a type of wine, e.g. port wine

Fortified wine, like Madeira and Marsala- Can't say I like it much but handy for cooking.

English dropped the "O", it's wine from Oporto (town name translates as The Port) in Portugal.

I don't know how they fortify wine, maybe they just add more sugar?

Don't know yet, but I hope so

Exciting!
In which part of Gothenburg your sassafras brew will be? Watched some photos now of Gothenburg again, nice, and my first penfriend, Anita Svensson or so, (when I was 13 or so) guess, was from there.


I like portwine.

Hello Anita, are you an Amon Amarth fan now like me?

Indeed, tasting Gnoff's sassafras in Fräntorps Folkets Hus would be quite a nice occasion for learning to know Gothenburg! I will recommend it to some friends. But Sweden is expensive as hell, isn't it?! When I saw some prices, I thought 'alter Schwede!' (transl. old Swede, exression of astonishment)

 

[gnoff]

well these days we're far from the most expensive country in the world, but yes, it's not really cheap either

My mom has requested that I teach her how to brew beer over x-mas when I go for a visit.

I have a cool mom

December 10 is only 3½ weeks away, will taste my sassafras porter on Friday or so, to see if it has enough co2 and is ready to be chilled.

 

[gnoff]

24 beers signed up for the December 10 homebrew competition in Gothenburg on December 10, sweet, should be a good night

The Sassafras porter after 2 weeks was not enough co2, and only hints of sassafras, also very dry and bitter.

One week later is started getting better, so in another 2 weeks I hope for a huge sassafras character to have fun with all those tasters at the competition

 

[Brisantni]

24 beers! And the maybe the sassafras!:hotjump: Everybody should go there! Andybody going there? Gazza, already booked?

What a pity!
But of course, sassafras rulez!

 

[gnoff]

32 homebrews signed up for our local winter competition

Last record for the winter one was 21!

Will have 4 hours of heavy fun come Saturday

 

[gnoff]

44 beers signed up for the competition

In a normal Swedish championships there's 80 to 100 beers entered into "people's choice", so in this "small" local competition we'll have about half

Guess we'll all wake up rather tired on Sunday?

 

[gnoff]

Brewed a beer with my mom over x-mas

Now brewing with my mate in Vaasa to warm up for tonights AA show

 

[gnoff]

Will brew a smoked porter tomorrow, or, ehm, later today, after sleeping.

 

[gnoff]
