Homebrew - any one given it a go ?

[SRfam]

Hi to all you very clever people !

I have a dear friend who like me has a Thermomix (yay !).  He makes a lot of homebrew and we have been trying to find him a way to do it in his Thermomix - Any suggestions ?

thanks so much in advance

Hi SRfam, we've never had that question before on this forum.  Sorry I can't give you the answer on that one but you never know, someone out there may know a little about home brewing to answer your question.

How long have you had your machine and have you been using any of the recipes from here?  Food is what we do best so I hope you and your friend are able to spend some time having a look at our recipes.  Welcome to the forum and good luck with your quest to find an answer to this question.

Hi Judy !

I've had my machine for just over 2 months now.  I have been loving this forum so much - I've made quite a few recipe's from it.  Only just decided it was time to stop "viewing" and start "participating".  Thanks so much for the wonderful idea's you have shared - actually your Broccoli Cheese Soup is one of my favourite recipe's!

Thanks for noticing my little post - I'm surprised and really appreciate it!

Looking forward to being part of the Forum.

Hi Sharon and welcome.
My DH makes homebrew but he buys a can of stuff and mixes that up. Were  you hoping to do it from scratch?

Sharon it may surprise you to know that most of us read every post that comes our way.  As one of the moderators, it is essential that we do that but there are many members who do the same.

Enjoy your time on here, has your friend joined us too?

Welcome to the forum Sharon, I've got no idea about the home brew.

Hi All !

Thanks Judy - yes what a nice surprise !

Cookie1 - I think at first he would love to buy his brew and make it in his Thermomix.  But ultimately he wants to get to a point that he can make it from scratch.  He may just have to be the one to do it the first time and then he can share with all of us ! 

Thank you so much to the rest of you for your welcome wishes I really appreciate it!  I'm hoping that as time goes by I can contribute more than I'm asking - that would be really exciting !  Thanks all so very much for your help.

I've yet to get my friend on this Forum, but I'm sure he will be on in his own time.

Cheers,
Sharon

Sharon welcome to the forum. I have been making home brew spirits for many years and no it cannot be done in the Thermomix. As for beer the answer would still be no. The bowl just does not have the capacity. There is no doubt you could ferment  sugar and yeast below 35 degrees but it would just not be practical.

I've been waiting for you to find this one Gert as I knew you would know the answer.

Thanks Gert, I really appreciate that.  Not doing it myself, I didn't even consider the capacity of the bowl.  That makes perfect sense now that you mention it .  Thanks Again !
