I use to make beer too. I found that the increase of hops is ok in a warm climate but you might want to try some honey to it. It will increase the alcohol content but will give a very nice flavor as well.
Luv the old school ! Still have mine in an ancient tool box....somewhere, Do love your having an ole stump to keep your shorts from dropping further..lol. Wish I had a vessel and was your 'sailing buddy'. The adventure and navigation would be superb, and laugh as Wendy has trouble eating a cream bun ,,OK, sun block face lol. Gosh, I am so damned envious, but I do thank you for sharing....cheers guys, and watch that cyclonic happenings up your way....Cheers.
G'day Magnus and Wendy, delighted to share in yet another interesting episode of your daily lives afloat! On the subject of home brew I once had the following experience; While my young family and I were living near the NT border in Outback South Australia a mate and mentor in the opal mining game and I had occasion to visit a remote community of Opal miners late one afternoon. We arrived at a camp established by a pair of retired farmers who were also particularly hospitable brothers from the west coast and were promptly asked 'would we like a beer'? Although neither of us could be considered up to standard according to local custom we nonetheless accepted because it was quite warm and their home brew was often above average plus they were decent blokes. Somewhat to our surprise we were handed a full two liter plastic soft drink bottle of tepid brew each as it was explained that they were the local equivalent of a 'longneck' which our innovative hosts found to be extra convenient due to their only having to sterilize them once! While I was content enough to tackle the odd six pack I was not accustomed to opening the entire contents of one then consuming them before it went flat! On another occasion I was helping a Rangy Queenslander mate with some fencing on a station he was managing off the Tibouburra track. It was early afternoon and quite hot at the time and after a bit of exertion digging a post hole in solid shale I was asked "are you thirsty"? I replied "yeah buddy I am a bit" so old mate reached into the back of his ute and tossed me a scalding hot can of the now lamentably extinct Castlemaine 'fourex'. I promptly placed the uncomfortably hot can back in the tray of the vehicle and as my mate scoffed a can of his own with every evidence of satisfaction he somewhat scornfully observed that "I couldn't be too thirsty after all" in his laconic Queensland drawl!
'You know when"... I've missed that... Beautiful sailing around Thursday island. Was there in 1984... you'll be shooting the hole in the wall through the Wessell group if you are on your way to Darwin... what an experience....
You two are just fun to follow along with, from your long boat, across rt 66 (Through my city, if I'd a known, I would have bought you dinner!) and on your current boat. Re:beer, have you considered dark ale? Maybe a still? Re: your CO/propane detectors, really glad you have them. You can never be too safe.
Love the DIY episodes! I am sure glad to see the new monitors on Nutshell. Peel must be a pretty cool company based on them sending those as a freebie!!! We came too durn close to losing Nutshell AND Magnus over the engine degreasing episode!!! O_O My only gripe is not having Wendy walk us thru the new stack pack job, but if she'll show us all the details of her making the fuel and water jug covers I'll forgive her..... ;-D THANKS for another GREAT episode!!!
Warm beer , can I ask you on another subject , did you do a video on open cpn on a raspberry pi . I have a good copy of max sea , but wanted to try open cpn
Episodes justbefore-during-justafter bying your new nutshell are legendary xxx
The Sailing Brewery, I love it. Greetings from the german Beer region Franken, where all the good Hops are comin‘ from.
Thanks Klaus. W.
I’m so glad you got a new gas and CO detector installed that’s a great addition!
Hi Tim. It’s certainly let’s one sleep soundly at night. W.
I use to make beer too. I found that the increase of hops is ok in a warm climate but you might want to try some honey to it. It will increase the alcohol content but will give a very nice flavor as well.
Thanks for the info Dave. W.
Stackpacks look great
Beer looks great
I am now adding gas monitor to my "to do " list.
Another excellent video!
Thanks Tim. The stack packs have been wonderful. W.
My favorite couple to watch sail

Good to mention Peel. I can't find the sensors installed on our French system. Just looking up about them.
They’ve been great so far. They are much more sensitive than our previous system, which is comforting. W.
If you have to drink warm beer, it's a big help that it's fresh homemade
'You know when"... I've missed that... Beautiful sailing around Thursday island. Was there in 1984... you'll be shooting the hole in the wall through the Wessell group if you are on your way to Darwin... what an experience....
Hi Colin. Yup. We went through the hole in the wall under sail! It was magical. W.
,,,GREAT JOB OF STITCHING, KEEP SAFE YOU TWO, AND ENJOY THE DAY...
Thanks Bob. W.
Great vid, as always. Thank you!
You two are just fun to follow along with, from your long boat, across rt 66 (Through my city, if I'd a known, I would have bought you dinner!) and on your current boat. Re:beer, have you considered dark ale? Maybe a still? Re: your CO/propane detectors, really glad you have them. You can never be too safe.
Hi Gary. Magnus does make dark ales in the boat and they are delicious. Unfortunately, we just don’t have room for a still. W.
Boat is looking great!! Cheers n beers!
Thanks Scott. W.
I can remember a friend saying a carton of beer left in the sun was good value haha
One thing you definitely CANT beat is FREE.
Great vid guys, a big 👍 for the gas monitoring system
So not quite a wheelbarrow full of strawberries then.
Love the music at 18:56. Great taste!
Thank you John. W.

THANKS for another GREAT episode!!!
Wendy went over more of the stackpack build in previous videos.
Hey guys love your content! What about a drill Dr no other bits needed these sharpeners work great!!!
I like very much Wendy's eye with the camera.
Thank you Katrine. W.
I take it that you do not have temperature control with your fermenting brew and I was wondering how it turns out in the obviously hot climate?
Hi Kim. Magnus uses Kveik yeast which helps to deal with the high ambient temperatures. W.
Hello you all, happy sailing. Have you ever considered ham radio and satellite navigation?
Warm beer , can I ask you on another subject , did you do a video on open cpn on a raspberry pi .
I have a good copy of max sea , but wanted to try open cpn
Hi David. We haven’t done a video on open cpn on the raspberry pi. W.
@@LifeinaNutshell ah ok, in one of your recent videos , you mentioned that you use the pi,
Easy know you were once in aviation with that amount of drill bits……😂
could do with a littlr less diesel noise.....
maybe build an electric engine.
