First time I work with deviantart for picture hosting o,O
Actually din´t have that much pics of brewing, it´s more or less boring too watch ~6-10 hours how the water cooks etc.
but some romantic/ still life pictures came with me :).

Here I add some of the brewering ^^.. here the historic part ;).



step1: cook a lot of water and add some malted barley

step 2: lautering/ filtering

step 3: cook it like hell

step 4: add the hops

step 5: not shown here as it wasn´t historic at all we used an electric pumb and filled it in a cask

step 6: add yeast and wait 4-6 weeks too get %o ^^..

technically, the hops in machine pressed pellet form isnt very historic :-P

But the bowl, .. ^^

I´m not sure what your intention was, but they all look like snapshots. nothing looks really thought out or composed in any way. not really artistic. hope you had fun tho

epic wooden bowl

Yeah pellets are a new thing ... should have used the real deal, but then again the flavor of the pellets tends to be trapped inside and will be able to withstand temp variables better whereas the whole hops tend to lose flavor quicker, mostly by heat or sun.

Did you guys strain out the stuff or let it sit in the brewing pot?? Another problem with pellet hops is that they tend to dissolve and you can get quite a bit in your finished product without straining. I made that mistake when I dry hopped with pellets in a secondary fermenter.

Actually a lot of the beer made over 300 years ago didn't really use hops but other things like herbs and spices. I think adding hops came within the last 300 years or so. Also because of the bottling issue, they didn't have carbonated beer until the last 100 years or so, at least as it is today.

So imagine, you are sitting in ancient Egypt sipping on a syrupy beer without carbonation, likely room temperature and filled with spices and herbs instead of hops. That's more like what it was like back then.

Interesting photos none the less.

hum we made and drunk beer, there was no time vor artistic photos + I had only my 35 1.8 with me.. sure not the best excuse but do everything with just one lense is a bit complicated if your in a rush ^^..
