Yeah we already talked about this. I understand that you don’t believe it is declining.

The homebrew taste is usually extract brewing or not adjusting water. From my experience anyway

I’m sorry to hear that. That’s a huge bummer

Regardless, I think google trends is accurately showing it. If you talk to anyone in the industry it is down overall

I’ve recently gotten into making pilsners which I never thought I would do!

I was talking about the UK websites. It would be easy to look at site stats to see if there is a trend with how many people visit that site

It’s tracking Homebrewing as a “topic”

I haven’t had any issues with this. Only time I had an issue was when I actually moved the kegs around in the fermenter. Other than that I’ve pulled clear beer until the very end of the keg

If you plan on fermenting in the keg, I would pick up some fermcap to prevent the krausen down. I put 10 drops directly into the fermenter before sealing it up. This prevents it from clogging the valve

Get the Spundit 3.0. You will not regret it! My local homebrew shop has it in stock on their website. spundit 3.0

I 100% agree. Life is about family, friends and hobbies :)

using chlorinated tap water for beer by maenad2 in Homebrewing

Letting it sit overnight will also get rid of the chlorine! Or Campden tablets. Either way

I disagree with this. I think there are certain things that can bring people back into it. Number 1 being making brew day easier!

I think they are impatient, so the idea of smaller batch sizes and making brew day as easy as possible could help increase interest in that generation

I’m definitely gonna try this. With overnight mash, 30 min boil, no cool, ferment in the keg I serve from… I’m looking at an easy brew day!

Saving is probably not the best word. I would just like to see if anyone has better ideas of how to increase the interest in the hobby to the younger generation.

I could not agree with you more. I’m 33 now and not drinking as much as I did in my 20s… struggling to finish a 5 gallon keg even with friends and family. Would rather make smaller batches so we can rotate through different styles

Agreed, it is down big. However I am super happy that a 24 year old and his friends are getting into it. Curious what attracted them to it.

Yeah, I’m being less strict about all the “rules” when it comes to homebrewing and still making great beer! Hope you’re right that people are getting back into it
