2nd Annual Apple-pie brewfest

[muskyon46]

This years Brewfest went off with out a hitch, like last year slapfish's house was the place to be. He kind of turned it into a pre-ice warm up with a great video he put together with pics that have been taken over the last few years. It turned out great and as soon as some family friendly editing is done we will hopefully be able to get it up on here for others to enjoy. Well for me and fishon1, we decided to scale back our stock to about 3 gallons this year instead of 4. Which we also placed in some smaller jars to give as gifts to more family and friends. Quite a few more showed this year but we also wanted to get some talk in about our January trip to the gorge. So not everyone was brewing.  Wish i would have taken a few more pics but this is what i got. Slap your dog Kydo was photo bombing like crazy. Lol

Here was our ingredients



Getting some stuff brewing





2 coils this year, so nobody was waiting to get their mixture cooled down & the photo bomber



Time to jar/jug it up





And then the sample session after we were all done



Great stuff made this year as no 2 were the same. Looking forward to trying them out on the hard deck this year or at any free time available

Fun times this year fellas!  Pie turned out great, and I love doing this as a pre-ice get together since we make the pie for ice fishing season.  I added a little bit of orange kick this year.  Can't wait to hit the ice!  Also wanted to thank Muskyon46 for the awesome gift he gave all us veteran Bashers, it's my new favorite.

Cheers!

Always get this swill mixed up with Apple Jack where you ferment the cider then freeze and pour off the unfrozen parts.  More to my liking and sugar and spices can be added to it as well.

That is interesting.  I might have to try some variations until I find it is just right.  I experimented by putting some cinnamon whiskey in a couple jars last year and didn't produce a very good taste.  Trying to get perfect warming sensation for those particularly frosty days.  What kind of extra spices besides cinnamon do you put in?
