H2O Brewery

H2O Brewery We started brewing in 2018 when Jenn got me a homebrew kit from Maltose Express for Christmas. We’ve produced over 30 beers to date (150 gallons).

We freely share our beers, if you’d like to try some and can get to Monroe, CT, send us a message!

Our “Skull Splitter” Wee Heavy (7.4% Scotch Ale) was laid down into storage today. Our first foray into both bottle and keg conditioning - adding a final dose of sugars for the beer to develop further over the next 4-8 months.

Today we are brewing Bert Grant’s Imperial Stout. 7.1% target ABV. All being well, ready to drink in March when it’s aged a little.

Bert opened one of the first brew pubs in the US so it’s said, and his stout won awards up and down the country.

This video just as the boil is starting shows the gorgeous espresso color we can expect in the final product!

Brewing “Skull Splitter” a Scottish Wee Heavy that should (fingers crossed) come out in the 8% range. Will be kegged in a month and ready to drink in March 2022.

With the Celebration Ale currently on its dry hops this the first time we’ve got both fermenters in action at the same time.

Early start this morning as we helped out the volunteers at Maltose Express and Veracious Brewing Company picking fresh hops right off the vine. Net result - buckets of Cascade and Columbus!

Our first 10 gallon brew day. Adnam’s Broadside clone by our friends over at Maltose Express.

Mash-in went well and 26LBs of grain and over 16 gallons of water really put the Spike Brewing Solo to the test. After the boil the Exchillerator cranked the wort down to 80F in no time, and the temp control on Fermenter #1 got us to 70F ready to pitch the yeast.

Not forgetting the Bass Ale test batch from last week that went into the carboy for conditioning. This is a stage we can skip going forward as the conicals handle primary and secondary cycles.

Made it through first brew day with the new e-Kettle from Spike Brewing. Loved the process, and the Exchillerator brought the wort down from the 180s to 72F perfectly. This batch is going old school into a bucket as the stainless fermenters are not ready yet.

Christening this Bass Ale clone as the “Three Lions Brew” for England today 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️

Lots going on at work so the new H2O! set up is taking a while. Attached the pump to the brew table today and checked set up for Mash cycle. Maybe a chance we will brew this weekend…

Bought the leg extensions for Spike Brewing Fermenter #1 and got to say I like this a lot. Will allow for additional attachments on the 2” port, like a sight glass, as well as making the vessel more stable since it’s going to hold 12 gallons of liquid goodness!

I can see another set being ordered for F #2 pretty soon…

Our thanks to H2O chief engineer Jonathan Gamble who chopped this brew table down to size so our new Spike Brewing Solo+ 20gal is at a good working height.

Now we have upgraded our equipment we would love to get others started on their brewing journey (or expand their current operations) and are offering 2 sets of all the main equipment needed to brew quality beer.

The first set is pictured below, we are asking $120 and includes:

5 gallon Bayou Stainless Steel Kettle
6.5 gallon BSG Primary Fermenter
5 gallon glass carboy
Chef Master 10000BTU Butane Stove
Propagate Pro heating mat
Thermometer
Hydrometer
2x Airlocks
2x Cleaning Brushes

Brand new this would retail over $200.

The second set is identical but does not have the cleaning brushes or a Hydrometer. Both are easy to find online or at Maltose Express. This set is going for $110.
