- How to make beer at home for cheap.
A quick guide into a cheap way to make great beer. Dirty ol Joe takes you on an epic adventure of beer making fun. I call this batch Port of Nebraska because of its dank smell and flavor.
Nice job! Thanks for making this video. Proof that you don't need all the expensive accoutrements the home brewers try to sell to you. People made beer like this for thousands of years, and it worked just fine. This is something I could do at home without dropping a thousand dollars just to get started.
Well done. This video proves that you can be passionate about brewing without being pretentious.
Nice video, this is how beer should be made. After all brewing beer has been around for a long time, it doesn't have to be complicated.
Watched the whole video without fast forwarding! I actually feel like I learned something valuable today! I vote for more beer making videos alongside of grom rides!
I can do that man. Im going to make another batch this weekend with hops I harvested from my yard.
@@DirtyolJoe Hey I was thinking about growing my own hops for this Im wondering how now how much you would need for an average brew
@Tom Coleman 2 to 6 oz. I like 2 so it isn't so strong.
@@DirtyolJoe You're alive ..
@@Ticklethealgorithm I've been in Texas for 7 months.
I like this guy's approach a lot. Its about the experience of making the beer as much as it is about making the "perfect" beer. Simple equipment, normal dude, shop setup. Can't wait to make my first brew.
Great video! I wish I had seen this video before I started home brewing. The explanations were simple and clear. I love how you chill your beer, way better than my let it sit for 24 hours before adding the yeast. Great sense of humor, keep the videos coming.
Thanks man it is great to get positive feedback.
"You don't want to follow the sheep...just do like I do" haha
I got a Northern Brewer deluxe kit from my wife for Christmas today, so I am so ready to make some brew, your video and experience was very helpful since previous knowledge was zero.
cheers man.
Man, it was GREAT to watch your video here buddy! I have a couple batches under my belt, but I DO tend to let the little things keep me worried and -honestly-it slows me down from getting lots and lots of reps in.... Your really nailed it on the head: Just get out there and brew it up!! Big thumbs up from me, and I’m sub’d for sure. Your humor is spot on, and your suggestion to those that don’t like this vid made me laugh out loud! Ha. Good times! Cheers my good man!
Nicely done, Joe. I am now tryin this same exact method. Thanks man
Joe,
Thank you man, thank you. Your video has opened an alley in my life. As a prominent and respected beer drinker, with a budget that could bankrupt a lemonade stand, I really appreciate it. I understand you’re an electrician. I’m a plumber/hvac guy. Be mighty proud to pull a job with you...like I’d let you keep all the cash if it were a side job as a poor mans thank you for putting this video out. Keep painting beer dude. Also my favorite is golden monkey, if by chance; it’s one you like. Any idea how to brew it? Flavor country
I enjoy the video and I learned a lot. I will definitely try this way. Thanks
Thanks. Best beer making video I've seen. Very informative.
Cheers man!
I'm glad I found your video Dirty Ol Joe. Others are so technical and complicated it gave me a headache. Your relaxed style about it made me want to try it again
Thanks so so much for sharing your tips. You have saved me a lot of money.
Thanks, I just started home brewing with people on their equipment, but I have not been able to stay for the whole process all together yet. I was just given most of the equipment to get started in my tiny apartment kitchen. 😂 This totally simplified it for me. Thanks.
Used your recipe already 2 or 3 times now over the past 2 years. Some friends coming over tomorrow to do the next batch. (After Sunday mass, of course!) This recipe has done right by us every time! Thank you, Dirty ol Joe! 😃
Where is the recipe?
@@MrSethshapiro Watch the video. It's a 48 minute 11 second recipe.
Very useful, thanks a bunch Joe.
thanks for the cool video, I have made a lot of beer from kits but they have gotten so expensive. This is what I was looking for.
Joe you could be my cooler twin that was the best beer brewing tutorial I have ever seen. thank you god bless
Thank you. I enjoyed how you just did your own thing.
I enjoyed your philosophy. You simplify the brewing process
I always thought a way to smell the world via web could bring world peace. It would also make someone rethink the idea all together. Wonderful beer guide👍👍
I really dig how you drilled a hole for the thermometer in the lid, too. Excellent video, bud.
Joe, you're awesome dude. thanks for the great info, hope you're doing well brother!
For just a second, I thought we were gonna make bathtub gin! LOL.
Great video and love your KISS approach:)
I freakin love your videos!! You really helped take the confusion and thought process out of it and I sincerely applaud you for that!! I am planning on making some home brew very soon! Thanks to your videos of course!
Im in love with your shop.
I do it same way, my beers categories are Stouts Brown-Red and Blonds. I didn't measure gravity for ages, just change the specialty grains accordingly. I use general recipes just to be close but after sometimes just eyeball it plus hope by style of beer. The most complicated part is to step sparge when using flake barley or oats
Nice and informative man! Appreciate it.
I like the length of these videos. I always end up with a nice healthy buzz by the end.
Thanks man cheers. I like your handle name.
Thank You Joe lesson learned
Good content your by far my favorite beer channel
Thanks man. Cheers
Great beer video Joe cheers buddy
Hey Joe, thanks for the video. I've been watching videos from Australia back to Brazil and you did teach some very good tips!! I have to point that my whole point is making it cheap, no point in buying a home factory, no fun either. Thanks!
Cheers man! I'm glad you enjoyed my video.
Simplicity! THANK YOU!!!
Yes Joe I have an expensive brewery. And I love to use it. But your way of brewing is at least as good and satisfactory as my way.
Sometimes I consider to sell the hole lot and start brewing your way. Preferably burning on wood ;-)
You sound like a good dude. Awesome video guy
Great video Bro! thanks for your time...
Real cool video! I just made my second batch ever over the wknd. A Christmas brew...prob gonna taste like crap. Haha. It's fermenting now. I like watching different videos like this...piece em all together and then do your own thing. Thank you sir..
Have fun and try not to get to crazy with flavor in the beginning. Yeast is a factor in flavor. Try to keep it cool during fermentation. Hot will make it go off to fast. Cheers man.
Thanks for sharing Joe
I dig your style Joe because I am the same! I have basically the same setup including the lowes mash tun and plastic table 😄 I've made over 100 batches some award winning. Every new brewer should watch this vid before anything else! So many products and literature out here nowadays people end up confused and spend too much money. Anyway great video cheers bro🍻
Thanks Joe.!!! Great tip to manage boil over
something I like to do is FWH instead of adding to the boil. 1 it keeps that crazy boil over from happening, 2 It mild's out the bitterness.
best brewing video i’ve seen
Joe, great video! I’m new here and this is an old video, so you aren’t probably seeing comments anymore, but since you asked, I’d suggest a couple of improvements at almost no cost. Take a small pan or pitcher you probably already own, so 0$, and when you open the valve collect a pint or so and pour it back into the tun; just a couple of times. That would clear the running. Then, just add 3-4 ft of tubing to the valve, just a few $, to run into the pot so there’s a controlled run that minimizes oxygen. You’ll taste the difference in the beer. Thank you again for sharing this!
Good advice. Cheers man!
Lol very informative and the dudes freaking funny. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the kind words man!
@@DirtyolJoe your'e welcome dude. I'm making my first batch of beer this Saturday. Will you be making more updated videos on beer? Shit even if it's you drinking the booze you made I'll watch it.
Thanks, Joe!
Thanks for the great down to earth 411. I make stainless pots out of big pipe i get free. But only use a thin piece of flat stock for the bottom. Its not free. But once its tig welded cleaned, polished, ect, I take whatever scrap carbon steel i can liberate 1/4 to preforably 3/8'' thick & just tack it to the outside of the bottom. Just pieces are cool. But it allows more gradual heat transfer up or down. Workes great for stew or liquor. But you could just lay a couple pcs on top of your pot stand. Haha Im really basic too. My favorite price B side cheep is FREE. Thanks again.I LOVE BEER!!!
Best “how to make beer from scratch” video I have seen yet on RUclips !
I also could not give a shit about using the hydrometer when I brew my beer… Thanks... I’m going to watch party 2 now
great video! i cant wait to try this myself soon :)
It is super easy! Best part is beer in a few days if you keg it.
Hi thanks for the video. first silly question, why do you prepare the mx in that cooler instead of doing directly in the broiling pot, is that only for the filtration or there is another benefit? That you for the video and the answer
Hi from Holland, Europe, like your video,s. This is how you make beer! No science, just like this, it looks awsome! Shame i cant taste that
I just wanted to let you know that this was the video that finally got me to bite the bullet on all grain.
I hope I can save you some money. Cheers man.
@@DirtyolJoe any changes to your process since three years ago? One of the biggest takeaways from the video was waiting til the sugars settles down prior to adding any hops. Thanks again.
Great video DoJ! haha!
Great video mate
Hey Joe. Great look at brewing! Question, if you put an Airlock on the mash tun could you ferment in that and make racking easier??
Love the video easy to follow. One tip. if you use fermcap you can watch it a little less it keeps it from boilingover. Cheap insurance.
awesome job i love it when people make home brew like this, Proof that you don't need all the expensive gear
i doing similar simple brewing + havent measured gravety in 6 months😆 great video
Looks very hygienic! :)
Great video!
You were saying you need a bigger pot so it won’t boil over. Just weld a bit of aluminium to the top.
i wished to see how it is going to finish and how that giant thing will looks like... great job man
Oh and about the foam during boiling: Leave the gas, the temp doesn't go higher than 212º. Just Stir! It reduces the foams as well
It'll go a little higher... the sugar content elevates the boiling point. Technically, it's .94F for every gram of sugar per litre of water.
Thanks Joe
“If you don’t like my video, you can fuck right off!” Lmfao🤣🤣🤣 you’re my kinda guy joe. We need more dirty ole joes in the world
Great video Joe! I haven't brewed yet, and I was watching lots of brewing videos. I agreed before this. That people make it overly complicated and more science than art. After all, there are practically infinite beers to brew and people have been doing it thousands of years long before we knew anything about microorganisms, hydrometers, fancy gadgets, chemical elements and digital scales and so on. Ancients just boiled water, mixed in malt, cooled, and let it just sit and see it magically bubble and acquire interesting tastes and effects. Hell, back in ancient times they didn't even know to use hops, but made drinks we call "beer" and thoroughly enjoyed them all the time. I was looking through the comments, but wasn't seeing nasty comments too.
Cheers man I hope it helps. I'm by no no means a master brewer, but I made this video to help. When I started everything seemed so complicated.
Nice set up brother. I'm a home brewer too. I've been brewing for almost ten years now. Im an extract brewer, I have my own recipes as well. My favorite beer is my white IPA. I've been thinking about going all grain, but I wouldn't know what grains to use, or how much. Great video brother.
Hi Joe, do you still brew this same method? I'm starting to AG brew myself and noticed you skipped a few traditional steps like re-circulating/vorlaff the mash and creating a grain bed prior to going to boil tank. Also I heard/read the wort should be gently poured into the boil and to avoid splashing as it will add tannins/unwanted taste.
I guess but it's mostly shine now. In the old days they made beer to preserve water. So the point of my video is more of end of days beer.
Thanks for the video I'm gonna do it your way
I guess I'm an equal cheapskate. The main difference is I don't have so much space. Therefore I brew in a bag (the PET mesh ones) and I harvest the used yeast for 5-6 batches. Excellent brew day, and video. Thanks.
Thank You !
You're my hero. Lol.
hopefully I'll get to make my own beer soon I been outta work ..
Wish there were more videos like this. Starting this hobby is intimidating and I'm not going to pay several hundreds of dollars for equipment.
Awesome video Joe. "Gear guys" will have you believe the monetary threshold to entry for any hobby is much higher than it really needs to be. Beer making doesn't need to be an expensive fancy process!
lay that fancy stir stick on top the pot to stop the boil over bro awesome video
Thus guy is awesome. "'People will say oh you cant do that' My beer tastes awesome they can't tell the difference"
Very nice video, so you can aerate you brew, put the yeast in the Carboloy before you pour in that way you mix and aerate at the same time.
Loved your approach. So easy and no bs. You look to have a perfectly good bathtub in the back
ground. Cant wait for your down to basics video on brewing up a batch of bathtub meth. JK, love your stuff, liked and subscribed .👍
Sorry to necropost on a 3 year old video, but VERY good video dude! You're doing basically the same process I do. Been brewing since about '15. Started, like many, with extract, partial boils in the kitchen, moved to a cheap burner. Found a nice stainless 10 gallon pot on Craigslist cheap (wish it was 15).... etc. Made my own mash tun. I made the strainer tube for the tun out of copper with about 150 slots cut in it with a portaband. LOL The only thing I would suggest for you would be to vorlauf. Super clear wort that way and it doesn't cost anything but time. (Can you tell I'm cheap too?) And write things down as you do them. Easier to pass this tradition on to your kids if there's documentation on how to do it. Plus if you happen to have a "happy accident" and churn out a REALLY REALLY good beer one time, you can replicate it. I do the same batch sparge as you and everything. I just re-vorlauf after disturbing the grain bed to get things cleared up again. Again, great video. You do you. You brew what you like. And tell the haters to F off! Keep brewing! Cheers!
Thanks for love love man! Cheers!
Joe your video is great 👍👍👍
Cheers man!
thank you. im gonna do this.
awesome video! only question i have is, why do you use the water cooler for mashing as opposed to doing it all in the pot? Is it just to keep your grain clean up in there? I'm just getting started in home brewing and trying to figure out if i should go that route or just get a brew bag.. thanks!
You can do that for sure. Just find away to hang the bag above your pot and use the extra water at the end by pouring it over the bag to get the rest of the sugar. Cheers man.
@@DirtyolJoe thanks! Also, is your false bottom just above your spout? Does it just happen to be a snug fit?
Great vidio 🍺👍
Joe, for a guy who just wants to brew beer from malt and hops, what's a good all-purpose yeast?
Thanks!
Safe ale 001
3rd time watchin this what kind grain you use? 2 row? love the video
Thanks for watching. I use malted barley. It was about 30 dollars for a 50lb sack. But I don't know what the cost is now. My brew shop closed down and I haven't bought any in awhile now. Cheers man!
Great vid bro.......
Thanks man. Sorry about the audio.
42:00 ".... I'm not allowed to make beer in the house any more ...." - a man who knows his limits.
Without the hops you can use malts to make "all grain" beers like porters and stouts.
Hey man, I like your style. I appreciate people using ordinary things that are fit for purpose.
I just wanted to point out that if you start your yeast in some water or wort before adding it will hit the road running & not get caught up in the foam. If you use wort it will acclimatise to the sugars your're using.
I did want to ask about your attitude to air: anaerobic fermentation ferments to alcohol, aerobic ferments to carbon dioxide. Also, all the finicky guys are worried about oxygen wreaking their flavours. I just wondered if you have any thoughts on this?
Cheers
No malt? Great video. Thanks.
Did the same thing but I got a real slinky hop so I used 1/4 of it to make 5 gallons and it worked
It's kinda like coffee you can get as crazy as you want
I really appreciate your video. Actually makes sense, so many videos are so deep and make my brain hurt.
You should use a hose/tube to funnel the beer from the pot to carboy
What brew store? You’re in southern CA right?
baller on a budget beer
Best vid, good length, very helpful
Thanks, I appreciate the feed back. I will post another video on racking to the keg and forced co2.
From the UK here and looking to make cheap beer but its hard to find a turkey burner, any alternatives
you can use the burner out of an old water heater
Dirty ol Joe thanks I'll have a look for one, also if you add more sugar will it just make it sweeter or more alcoholic
you can also use hot plate it will just take longer. If you add more sugar you need more yeast for more alcohol, but turns into wine if you get too much. About 9% is the max before wine.
I watched the whole damn thing, I thought it was great, what kind and how many pounds of grain? I wanna a keg too, better than beer bottles, we dont want to wait
that bathtub make a nice mash tun!...brew 50-60 gallons at a time!....hehehe
Good ish👍👍👍
