So I asked ChatGPT if we can make a Belgian style wit beer at home and now I’m ready. Let see how it turns out

This isnt a tutorial and I have no responsibility of how it turns out

Homemade apple cider vinegar recipe

Apple cider vinegar has been treasured for centuries as a natural remedy. It can support digestion, balance blood sugar, boost gut health, and even strengthen immunity.

I think it’s amazing all of the homemade remedies coming into season right now as we transition into fall and winter!

Fermented honey garlic, fire cider, apple cider vinegar, honey onion syrup, elderberry syrup….

Nature knows what we need!

Unfortunately most of the apple cider vinegar bottles on store shelves aren’t giving you those natural benefits.

This seems to be the case with most things at the store, sadly.

Commercial ACV is often heated and filtered, which means the very enzymes, probiotics, and the “mother” that make it so powerful are stripped away. What’s left is a clear, lifeless liquid that looks nice on a shelf but doesn’t carry the same vitality.

Homemade apple cider vinegar, on the other hand, is alive. It’s raw, cloudy, and brimming with natural goodness.

Best of all, you can make it right at home from the scraps you’d usually toss….turning waste into a wonderful, versatile remedy for your kitchen, cleaning cabinet, and medicine chest.

Homestead ACV Recipe
Fill a clean jar with apple cores and peels.

Dissolve 1–2 tablespoons of raw honey or sugar per cup of water and pour over scraps until covered.

Keep scraps submerged, cover with a breathable cloth, and store in a dark spot. Stir daily.

After 2–3 weeks, strain out scraps. Let the liquid sit another 3–4 weeks until tangy and strong.

Bottle and use, it lasts indefinitely!

I use a fermentation clear weight to keep the scraps submerged, but not always necessary. You just want the scraps submerged so mold doesn’t grow!

Seriously….this is the easiest homemade remedy ever. You could even call local orchards and ask if they have scrap apples they aren’t selling and get a good deal.

Now is the time to do that has the orchards are in full swing and I get my best deals on produce right now!

What happens when a homebrew recipe gets scaled up and brewed on a commercial brewery?

In this episode I’m back at Maverick Brew Co. for something a little different — a full collaboration brewday with Hoddy, brewing Hop Shed, our 4% Golden Ale, on Maverick’s commercial kit.

The recipe is deliberately simple: Simpsons Extra Pale malt with a little torrefied wheat, allowing the hops to do the talking. We use Amarillo and US Cascade, layered through the boil before a substantial whirlpool addition, aiming for a crisp, refreshing Golden Ale with plenty of orange, citrus and classic Cascade character.

But this video is about much more than simply following the recipe. Hoddy talks me through the realities of brewing commercially as we discuss mash thickness, sparging, brewhouse efficiency, pH, water treatment, step mashing, yeast, hop quality, cask beer, running a brewery and all those little practical lessons that you only really learn by brewing batch after batch.

And yes — I get properly put to work digging out the mash tun!

Once the beer is ready, we head out to taste Hop Shed on cask in a real pub and find out whether our collaboration has actually produced the beer we were hoping for.

A huge thank you to Hoddy and everyone at Maverick for letting me loose in the brewhouse. I learnt an enormous amount and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

If you enjoy the longer, conversational brewday format and the technical brewing chat, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

Frothing Ale!
