Cool i want to try to brew my own beer one day great presentation. Thaxxx 4 the upload
Thanks, guys! This was a very helpful video.
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen on making beer! Loved it and am going to snag a kit for myself! Thank you!
I’ve wanted to brew my own beer for a while now. Maybe one day when I have my own place I’ll be able to do so :)
Just share with the people you live with im sure they will be happy 😊
This is how I started Dec 6, 2018. P3 Brews made 10 batches so far. Triple mashed the last batch.
I'm just getting into brewing what is mashing haha
Thank you for all your tips, advice and a new hobby! Also, the price of this kit was much lower than expected; Merry Christmas to me! I'll be ordering the Irish Red Ale.
This was soooo great! Thanks for the easy to follow directions for a first time beer brewer!
Thanks so much for saying that. If you're interested we just started a Northern Brewer University of online courses. Right now, there are three courses pretty much targeted to new brewers or returning brewers. Check them out and see if they would help even more. Each course has a free preview to get the feel of what the course content is: www.northernbrewer.com/collections/homebrew-courses
Easy to follow??? This is like the Ikea of brew kits and takes up half a room. My Mr Beer kit was less than $50 and had a fraction of the steps to brew. Always given me very tasty results. In my opinion the only people who need a brew kit like this are those who plan on opening their own brewery.
🤦♂️
One week from secondary is not long enough; wait up to about two weeks. My chinook is still in the "mellow" stage and the yeast particles are way too globbed up to start racking. If I were to prime now, I risk serious bottle breakage from the overly active yeast interacting with the sugar. A warning to everyone!
Awesome kit 🥰
Nice! I need to home brew some beer!!!!!!
So helpful! We just filmed our first round of brewing with your kit--amber ale turned out great!!
Do you have a link you can share? Glad to hear the kit worked well for you.
@@NorthernBrewerTV a link to our video? Here it is! ruclips.net/video/L1z6t1hiyLk/видео.html
We had some fun with "waiting part" 😂😂
I just purchased this kit. I'm going to try my luck.😀😂
How did it go? About ready to drink now?
@@NorthernBrewerTV it's in the fermentation stage as we speak. So far so good!
@@sportspeakeasy How did it come out? Im fermenting right now with my first batch
Hahah... notice he took the first sip, smirked, and didn't comment on the taste. :)
Aaron Hartwell Laughed so hard at that. He's like, "well at least it was a lot of fun to make."
Hahahahahahaha noticed that too
@DIV1NITAL Dirty equipment. Didn't wear gloves.
tiger_ 666 facts lol
tiger_ 666 actually judging by the rustic red brown color that batch underwent yeast autolysis and the stressed out yeast trying to fend off infection resulted to a poor end
Thank you very much sir for good info . would you do a video about
making Jäermeister (the famous German spirit ) thanks again
Is the water you're adding after boil clean though ?
I wonder if the Northern Brewing shirts come with the kit? lol - I see Nick's wearing one too
Do you leave the water at 160 degrees when steeping the grains or do you turn the heat off during
You can turn the heat off while steeping. These grains don't provide very much as far as fermentable sugar so the temperature is okay if it slips a few degrees during the steep... versus mashing, which is more reliant on achieving and maintaining a very specific temperature.
Why couldn't you add the dry hop in the same carboy, and needed to transfer to a secondary one?
Purity. You don't want hops getting clogged up with all the debris at the bottom and the thin layer at the top of the original carboy. In the second carboy, you have JUST the alcohol.
My buddy and I have brewed and filmed a few different kits. We're looking forward to trying Northern Brewer next. Any recommendations on one of your recipe kits?
If you like hoppy beers, our Dead Ringer is probably the most popular. Less hoppy, but nicely balanced, check out the Caribou Slobber. Looking for something really unique? We're releasing a brand new kit this week, Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout, with cinnamon and lactose in boil, then cacao nibs and chili peppers in secondary. Any of those sound good? If not, I can suggest more if you let me know what styles or beers you like to brew together.
Sir how much grams of hops should i add for 3 times
What about that oxygen exposure while bottling ? Is it going to have a considerable impact ?
Is there any worry about hop creep with the dry hop on secondary?
Should you wear gloves when pulling equipment out of the sanitzing solution?
Lol i like that normal guy you can obviously see whos been drinking harder. Haha
What kettle was used?
will the process and same equipment here in this video work with all grain brewing
Some of it will be applicable. However, you'll need a mash tun which most often comes in the form of a cooler with a false bottom or some kind of straining device. You can, however, do Brew in a Bag (BIAB), which is sort of like a half-step into all-grain brewing that wouldn't require much more than what's in this Deluxe Starter Kit. Many people love BIAB for that reason.
This video and walkthrough might help if you're interested in BIAB: www.northernbrewer.com/blogs/brewing-techniques/jakes-biab-cda
This video might help if you're more interested in going fully All-Grain Brewing:
www.northernbrewer.com/blogs/beer-recipes-ingredients/all-grain-brewing-with-john-palmer
Definitely rise out the chlorine based cleaner. It says rinse free yes, but use it on something and let it air dry, you can literally scrape the crystalized chemicals off. That's what that white residue is.
1) 1-step no rinse cleanser used in this video does not contain chlorine (it says so on the label) 2) air drying is not a good idea as dust and mold is in the air and this will contaminate while "air drying" if your air drying surface didn't contaminate already 3) rinsing is also not a good idea because it risks...contamination. I suppose you could rinse with bottle distilled water but I doubt most people would.
When are you going to add a kettle and bottles
Would distilled water make a difference?
I really want to try this. Trying to talk the wife into I think it would be fun
Homebrewing is a lot of fun. Nothing like sharing a beer, cider, or mead that you made yourself. Good luck, let us know if we can help at all.
How should I dispose the sludge after transferring the wort to my fermentation carboy? I'm assuming I can't just pour it down the drain.
You can pour it down the drain or put in trash and take out immediately... or even compost it.
Be very careful when disposing. Hops are extremely poisonous to dogs. Of they eat even a little can kill your furry buddy
what if i want to use a keg instead of bottles how would i do that?
OK, I'm going to assume a few things.
You have a Cornelius keg, a keg cooler,
and a Co2 setup.
Where they racked the beer into the
bottling bucket, you rack into a
SANITIZED keg. Put thee keg into
your kegerator, and cool for a day.
Now, hookup the Co2 system, and
the beer line. (It is quite difficult to
carbonize warm water, and beer is
mostly water,) You can either give
it some time, or force carbonate, by
having the Co2 hooked up, with the
keg out of the cooler, and rock and
roll the keg.
That was the detailed version, here
is the abridged version. Rack beer
into keg. Cool beer. Hook up Co2,
and shake. Let chill out for at least
an hour, in the cooler. Not enough
carbonation, hook up Co2 and repeat.
steve
@@steveskouson9620 Also, you can naturally carbonate the keg with 1/3 cup of priming sugar and let it sit for 2 weeks or so, and then hook up the Co2, or, use the hand pump method. The Co2 set up is preferred if you plan to have your keg last for more than one day, as the oxygen pumped into the keg by the hand pump will make it go bad quickly. Not only does the natural carbonation use up less Co2, but it allows for an extra "conditioning" of the beer for that extra 2 weeks.
I can’t find a video on your deluxe kit do you have one ?
Can u suggest a laggering beer video?
The way that dude used that spoon to stir made me bust up laughing!!! Who holds a spoon like that ahahahahah! The two hands at the end I’m dead ahahahahahahah
Is it hard to brew a peanut butter milk stout? I love Gunner's Daughter, but it is unavailable where I live so I want to make my own.
@Nathan Guerrette dit Latulippe Thanks, Nathan!
Great, but no SG readings done though?
Did the video for the Brew. Share. Enjoy. starter kit get removed?
I just got my share enjoy kit and now the video is not there
Is this what you're looking for by chance?
ruclips.net/video/5gr1YWhCS5A/видео.html
Does this help?

Can you use the 1 gallon recipe kits with this
That’s what I’m wondering as well. Like to make only a gallon to test certain beer, if I like it I will get the 5 gallon kit! If it doesn’t taste good I only waste a gallon rather than 5.
How did the level rise like 4 inches when it was done fermenting lol?
I didn’t add water it’s been 2 days it’s been fermenting is it to late to add more water? It’s suppose to be a gallon and it’s at the half mark
Sorry for the delay. Can you update us on this situation? It would be very surprising if it actually fermenting without being diluted as the sugars likely would've been to dense for the amount of yeast to ferment. We'd love to hear if it did ferment or if you ended up diluting it back even after two days had passed.
NorthernBrewerTV I ended up added water to fill the gallon. Beer came out really really hoppy but the flavors were great
why cant they dry hop in the primary? then bottle from there?
I would suspect for better flavor infusion, you want as much of the yeast and other hops out.
I work away from home where im only home 2 weeks and i am away 6 weeks. Could i still make my own beer if i wated 6 weeks before bottling?
It can sit in the secondary with no issues for the 6 weeks. but if you wait that long it is now at least 12 weeks until you can enjoy it.
@@aguysweekend Definitely! You'll want to keg though, it will save a ton of time and you can force carbonate and be enjoying your beer for the 2 weeks you are home. Once the process gets going, you'll always come home to fresh beer on tap!
Where did you get the 1 gallon steel water pitcher?
Is this what you're looking for? www.northernbrewer.com/products/aluminum-measuring-pitcher-4-quart
I've seen a couple of your videos where you are drinking the beer right from the bottle. That seems kind of unusual to me. I always pour carefully into a pint glass leaving the yeast layer relatively undisturbed. Other than that your videos are well done.
What if you don't have carbonation after bottling?
Saaaay wha?? Bro! Pour it into a nice glass so we can see how it looks!
Great video and equipment. Too elaborate. I just bottle directly from the fermentation bucket or fermentation carboy, being careful not to upset the sediment.
I have hard water in my home. Is hard water ok to Brew with?
I have hard water as well. I buy the large bottles from the grocery store and use them. I don't want to take the chance after all this work and have a shitty beer.
Why can't you just use buckets instead of a carboy? Seems cheaper and easier to clean. Does it alter the fermentation process?
You can totally use plastic buckets (or plastic carboys) instead of glass carboys. Many people prefer them actually because they are lighter to move and less likely to break should they fall or knock on the ground while moving. Any food-safe bucket with lid that allows for an airlock will work. Here are our buckets if you're interested:
www.northernbrewer.com/collections/buckets
Question... Followed "to the tee" what was outlined here... however I'm getting to the bottling stage right now and my second carboy is SIGNIFICANTLY darker than what is depicted here. The first stage looked just about spot on and they were both stored in the same exact location. Any thoughts? Thanks
are you brewing the same beer?
Mine is very dark as well. Homebrew, hops and the type of malt/grains you use significantly alters the color of your brew. Don't worry!
Jeebus, who drinks homebrew from a bottle? All that work deserves a nice glass
i thought the same thing
Couldn’t have said it better
@Lithus17 Ummmm... Drinking homebrew from the bottle is gross. Noone wants all that yeast at the bottom mixing in as you're drinking. Pour into a glass, and leave the last half inch in the bottle.
You should probably mention that you need to wash the bottles as well !!!
They did...
*Grabs clear bottle from fridge*
*_Takes out pitch black beer bottle_*
After watching this video... I can tell you without a doubt, I'll buy my beer from the liquor store. ha ha ha
That's too bad to hear. But we understand. Party on!
My average batch is better than the average store bought micro, very few misses and that is only if I'm experimenting. Costs a fraction of buying it retail and having 4 taps of your own beer at home? Priceless...
Gentlemen - Nice video and thanks. I'm a noob wanna be brewer with a particularly awkward problem. I'm Native American and have absolutely NO facial hair! What are my chances? Regards P
no need to worry, the act of brewing beer gives the brewer a distinct facial hair layer. in fact depending on what beer you brew you may get different thickness and styles of facial hair, for example it is well known that IPA's will give a brewer a thick well oiled lumber jack style beard and have even been known to create a plaid beanie while fermenting that most brewers choose to remove and wear. on the other end while brewing an imperial stout i personally grew nearly six inches of thick blackish grey facial hair exclusively on mt lower cheeks and a curled stache on my lips of a richer black color. one could even say that the true art of brewing isnt beer flavor but the facial hair that each beer can impart on its brewer. (disclaimer: brewing or even drinking light beers can reverse these effects, in order to cultivate a strong beer beard one must avoid coors ,budlight, and even miller lite)
Thanks for the lovely reply! Since then I have had four (4) brew days producing 8 gallons of a nice simple SMASH, a portion of which has already been consumed but alas, still no facial hair! Not even fuzz. However, I am enjoying the therapeutic benefits of homebrew vs. corporate beer! What a profound difference !! Cheers P
Panfilo Gomez sounds fun! lots of beer, always good. results may very on the facial hair but its the spirit that counts.
Ester Grant Lol
If only I had a kitchen bigger than a goddam postage stamp! So excited to start brewing once I buy a house with a big kitchen.... its happening soon
Why didnt you sparge your grains?
Why teach people to drink homebrew from the bottle? ... they might not attempt a second brew after tasting that yeast ??
Would pouring it on a cup help because it settles at the bottom? Or wouldn't the yeast come along? Im New here
@@arturo845 ruclips.net/video/xyXn4UBjQkE/видео.html
@@arturo845 Pour slowly and the yeast will stay in the bottom.
how much abv??
A very good question. Prior to pitching the yeast into the wort, you are supposed to take a sample to test with a hydrometer to get your base reading of the wort. Then, prior to bottling, kegging etc., you take a final reading by which you then calculate the ABV. Without the two measurements, you can't get an ABV reading.
Anyone else get the sense that the trainee had a little more than that one beer during the process, or just a lightweight?
For 200 dollars you have to be smoking crack to not include a hydrometer.
mine came with one i bought mine in 2018
Mine cost £60 including hydrometer and beer kit 2 fermentation vessels thermometer trial jar Syphon bottling wand carb drops and 24 bottles
Should never use propane indoors unless I'm missing something?!
Our Brew Cave is a large open space within our larger warehouse space and is well-ventilated. You are correct, in general it is not safe to brew with propane in smaller enclosed spaces indoors in most homes. The caveat being your garage is pretty much safe if you have the main garage door at least halfway up and a side window open for ventilation.
@@NorthernBrewerTV thanks for clarifying! great video!
shouldnt drink it from the bottle
Why not? Just starting out
I'll stick with my Mr Beer kit that is a fraction of the cost and a million times less complicated to use. It's always given me excellent results.
Brew what works for you and drink happy. Cheers!
Beer.
Too bad you don’t sell this kit anymore. Coopers is now looking to be the better choice.
Is this the kit you're looking for by chance?
www.northernbrewer.com/products/deluxe-brewing-starter-kit
That color looks so off, why is it not somewhat opaque? Ive never seen beer totally clouded like that.
Only US for orders?
You disappointed me guys!
Саша Лилин i ordered it on amazon and im from canada. Maybe check your local amazon website?
after the guy on the left gets drunk he acts like hes trying to rob you
Wtf? I didn’t get a siphon in my kit... is this something I should get?
Depends which kit you ordered. Our Brew Share Enjoy Starter Kit doesn't come with a siphon, but the Deluxe version does. Which kit did you order?
www.northernbrewer.com/collections/5-gallon-homebrew-kits
Thanks for answering all of the great questions in the comment section. What was the point of posting the video?
Lol right?
they put the hops directly in the wort... iv always seen people using a mesh like bag...
You are correct, they do have nylon bags, (I have 2 myself) that you can put the hops, pellets, whatever into which makes clean up easier as well as cleaner beer. However, in this case, they were planning on adding dry hops in the final fermentation anyway so didn't really matter. The more beer you make, the more you will streamline your process to make it easier and cleaner. :)
All that water your adding to carboy before fermentation..... Probably a Bud Light recipe. :)
5 GAL OF WATER,& 5 POUND'S OF SUGAR.TO START.
You could have at least poured your IPA into a glass so we can see how it looks.
Didn't know Alex Jones likes to brew beer.
I've yet to brew my own beer, but that beer in the carboy didn't look right at all. I know it wasn't carbonated, but even then it didn't look right.
Did you guys film the whole video the same day? The beer in the carboy has the same colour all 3 steps 😂😂😂😂
False. The color did in fact change.
I. Love foot .....ball
We love you, your channel but we especially love beer. Come check us out and celebrate a belated beer day with us (and subscribe plz) Miss you and hugs . Let us know how badly we screwed up our home-brew. Cheers! 🍻
Beer looked super cloudy...why not adding finings ... looked like shit
Wish they would've at least touched on this point
That dude was so awkward and to top it off, at the end he drinks it straight out the bottle with no comments on taste, appearance or aroma 😂🥴
So if a total of 4 packs of Hops are needed, why isnt their four packs in the kit? FUKKKKKKK
Yo these are some tame drug dealers
You do realize nobody likes american beer Belgian beer is way better. Long live Belgium.
Belgian beer is good but American beer has learned a lot.
How about pouring the fucking beer on a fucking glass so we can see the color and the carbonated final product? How about commenting on the quality of the beer, instead of going straight to the sales speech?
That was foul. You can tell by him saying nothing after the taste. His eyes say ‘Jesus’ afterwards.
