Spring cleaning, except with your beer brewing equipment:​​​​​​​​​1) dismantle and clean taps​​​​​​​​​2) clean the lines in kegerator 3) inventory ingredient fridge 4) drink the rest of your winter kegs (Maria's fave part of 'spring cleaning' 😂)

Shout out to all the bartenders who are absolute VAULTS. 🙌🏽​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​Bae🧡 isn't pleased. .

Worth having, or no? Seen any rock-our-world cool ones? Do you even use them? What's everyone thinking on this one?! 💭​​​​​​​​​.

How do you guys record which beer is in which keg? We've seen clipboards and even permanent markers used to mark kegs. We've resorted to using stick-on, pull-off stickers as the best method but we still think there's better solutions for keg-marking out there. If you've got any tricks, can you please lay them on us in the comments? 💭⬇​​​​​​​​​.

YETI JOCKEY BOX!! CAN WE DO IT ?!? Check out our YouTube video to see if we massacred a $500 Yeti Cooler or made he sweetest portable keg chiller you ever did see 👀🤞🏽🙏🏼 HERE’S THE LINK:▶️ https://youtu.be/oqRTU6KJ08E

Ever been so excited you do THIS to your beer?!?​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​Sac-religious. Something must be done about this guy. LICK IT UP. .

Wort oxidation before yeast addition - HERE WE COME, thanks to this snazzy O2 flow regulator by @spikebrewing !

Sometimes a brewski is even better with a toe-tappin' tune. Maria's all time favourite drinking tune is, in true Nova Scotia's style, Barrett's Privateers - when she hears this song, the beers go down pretty quickly 😋 🍻​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ Rachelle's a hardcore Matt Mays fan and every beer tastes even better accompanied by his musical talents!​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ So - what's your ear ticklin' poison?! 'Roxanne' with a sip at each mention of her name? Or some cool country with Toby Keith's 'I Love This Bar' or Zac Brown Band's 'Toes'?​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ What beer drinkin' music gets you ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL riled up ?!?!?! 🎶🎸🕺🏽🍻​​​​​​​​ .

Winding down for Fall makes us think of Spring. Did you know that you can eat your Hop Shoots without affecting your crop, if you do it within a limited time during the Spring season? BECAUSE YOU CAN! ​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ Known as poor man's asparagus (**or person's - as we like to say 😉), these tasty shoots are jam packed with valuable micronutrients and are oh-so-tasty! And, BONUS, Hop Shoots are considered a delicacy in many European countries - ya FANCY betch! ​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ You want a maximum of 3 hop shoots per plant, so you should be trimming away and cooking the excess shoots in spring as they sprout up! They're most asparagus-tasting when they're green and right before, or as, they sprout little green leaves - so harvest and cook the excess at this time!​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ Click SAVE to reference this post in the Spring!🌱 ↘​​​​​​​​ . ​​​​​​​​ @highlandhopyard @torontobrewing @beerbrewnettes

Let’s get cozy with a nice cup of Hop Tea! ☕️🫖🌱​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ We've posted an awesome fresh Hop tea recipe for you to try - please let us know what you think when you try it! And let us know in the Comments if you've done anything cool with your extra Hops! 👂🏽​​​​​​​​ .

Believe it or not - Hops can be used to make teas, yeast, reductions, dressings, and sauces, candles, soaps, decorations, and more!​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ This time of year, the @BeerBrewnettes always find themselves with bountiful harvests of fresh Hops from our home gardens! Since we are Homebrewers who make enough beer to meet our own enjoyment, we usually have LOTS of Hops leftover each season after we have brewed all we can possible brew! 🌱​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ SO - what to do with all of these extra fresh Hops?​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ Hops have anti-anxiety and anti-insomnia properties, making them ideal for bed-time routine uses in soaps, teas, even in little bags under your pillow for a soft steeping aroma!​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ We've posted an awesome fresh Hop tea recipe for you to try - please let us know what you think when you try it!

Supply chain shortages of carbon dioxide (CO2) are continuing to affect world markets, and especially those in North America, with continually increasing supply strain projected in the coming months.​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ What does this mean for your beer?! Like everything else in times of supply/demand issues, the wallets of brewers will take a hit and, likely, this cost will be passed along to the end-consumer.​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ Moving into the Fall season, brewers will need to plan further in advance to navigate supply issues. According to reports generated from Gas World news outlet, breweries such as @NightShiftBrewing are already being drastically impacted. "For Night Shift Brewing, this means that the company has had to move all of its brewing operations to Framingham’s Jack’s Abby and Pawtucket, R.I.’s The Guild Brewing Co."​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ We wonder if the shortage in CO2 will see a slight rise in the production of lower CO2 beers, like Stouts? The @BeerBrewnettes are thinking of all of our fellow brewers during these challenging times, and admiring resilient and determined breweries like @NightShiftBrewing for being so agile in their business practices; of course, major standing ovation to their good friends @Guildri (The Guild Pawtucket Brewery) for extending a helping hand in tough times. 👏🏽​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ Ref: https://www.gasworld.com/co2-shortage-hits-us-breweries/2023526.article
