Just an update for you guys, I am super proud to say that this beer went on to win a Bronze Medal at the National Homebrew Competition this year!!
There was me thinking I had stumbled on a 2 1/2 pints video…🤣
Thanks!! I'm nowhere near their cinematography level but I had some fun with it. Cheers!
That intro was absolutely amazing! Well done with the editing!
Glad you enjoyed it so much! I saw an opportunity and I took it haha
"Irish Stout in a blizzard" - The Director's cut 😂
Looks like a great beer. I'm surprised how well that stout tap worked without any nitrogen gas.
Thank you! Yeah I was also very surprised as well! $13 vs $200 is a win in my book
Mandatory beer chug…loved the music editing as well. Cheers braj.
Captivate the audience with an epic cinema opening then pour them a tasty Irish Stout. Cool tap nozzle idea.
Yeah, it makes a big difference with the stout faucet Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great commitment to the art - videoing during a blizzard. Keep up the entertaining work. Regards from Wagga Wagga
This was amazing. I have told you I am a Stout and Porter lover with beer and when you kept describing how well it turned out even without the use of the nitro and all you did was change a tip, you made me want to try you made more and more. Thank you for brewing this and when you mentioned the name Guinness I also love their extra Stout as well.
Haha! That intro was epic! Can’t wait to try this one! Please keep up the awesome work! 😎👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done, setting the intro bar level. Always great Brewing info.
Glad you enjoyed it so much!
WOW now that intro was unreal, well done! Love the attention to detail such as the ice balls in your beard portraying you'd been out there for hours.
Glad you enjoyed it so much! I saw an opportunity and I took it haha, but I may have taken a faceplant in the snow
How did I miss this video! I love it!!!!!!!
Congrats on the bronze! I was just cruising the NHC page today and saw you snagged an award!
Thank you!
Nice intro lad. Looking good there, taking everything to a higher level. Skål buddy 🍻😎
Thanks! Got some extra time to work on this one. Skål!!
Epic intro!!!…brewing in a blizzard is crazy but you seem to be in your element
Thanks!! I had a blast!!
Great vid, We all know how important the water chemistry is with any beer, with that being said it would be very helpful to list your target mash and wort PH levels. I did see you point out your mash PH briefly. I believe perfect PH is the secret to all great beers along with other things but PH being number one. Prost! Keep those awesome videos coming!
WOW!!!! WOW!!!!! The intro was OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! I had to check to be sure I was on your channel LOL
because I watch a lot of outdoor videos also.
Best intro to a brew video I’ve ever seen. You gotta do more stuff like this.
👍🏻👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🍺
Haha I'm very happy you found it so entertaining! I had a blast putting it together, and maybe I can try to put together some more things like this in the future. Cheers Tom!!
Great fun in the snow! I need to get another stout on the go. The stout attachment is a great idea, I need pick up one of those for my kegerator. Cheers!
It really surprised me as to how effective it was! Just gotta wait for all the foam to settle down. Cheers!
We'll done mate, you certainly put the effort in on this one 👍😁
Thanks Mark!
The intro was J. R. R. Tolkien meets "The Revenant" haha absolutely great! BTW every time I watch your videos I dread the tasting session. Your sipping and smacking make me thirsty and and I can almost taste the beer with you! This is torture while being at work hahaha great content as always! Cheers, Steve.
Hopefully you were able to fix that issue once you got out of work! It was a lot of fun to make this video!
I legitimately thought I clicked on a black/death metal video instead of this one in my Subscription feed when that intro kicked off. Great work!
Lol awesome! Glad you enjoyed it so much!
Well done AP!
Thanks!
Top notch intro, cool your having fun with it
Thanks! Absolutely, I had a blast!
Yes sir, that was some impressive production content.
Glad you enjoyed it, I had a lot of fun putting it together!
Liked the intro Steve. Good job.
Thanks Curt, tried to up the production value on this one a bit!
Wow! I love it :) It is better than lots of movies :) Thanks.
Thank you!
Great Video, you raised the bar with this one. Can we expect more intros like that in the future? Thanks for the faux nitro tips. I have a Dry Irish Stout fermenting now that I will be trying your tips on.
I wish I could promise this every time haha, but I would like to play around with the idea of something like this in more videos in the future. Cheers!
We got like 29 inches south of Boston in that storm! Being a propane brewer this winter has drained my motivation to brew and you’re out there still at it lol. Great intro btw
Yeah! That was an insane storm for the Boston area! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Somewhere in the Northeast during the 8th month of our winter lol. Good job the beer looks good.
lol right? It never ends. Cheers!
You are braver then me! I brewed in the garage during winter storms and that was already difficult.
It was lots off fun, glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely epic video. I'm glad someone else freezes their butt off on brewdays.
Thanks man! Being in the weather definitely adds a whole other element to brewing. Cheers!
Love the intro Steve!!! Sounds like this should be a channel tradition!! I say live stream it next time 😂
Thanks Brian!! I doubt a stream would hold up to the weather hahaha but its an idea I'll keep in the back pocket lol
@@TheApartmentBrewer I don’t think I would hold up in that weather either 🤣
Great video! As always loads of good info. I always brew an Irish Stout this time of year for St. Patty’s Day, and the recipe isn’t too far from your own.
For a 5 gallon biab
6 lbs Maris Otter pale/ Golden Promise
1 lb flaked barley
1lb flaked rye
1 lb English roasted barley
60 min hop addition to 38-40 ibu.
Usually this one comes in over the dry Irish stout carigory but I don’t care, it tastes amazing. Anyways thanks for the video and keep up the good work. Cheers.
Sounds like a great recipe, I like the idea of the rye addition. I think I would have added some extra hops into mine as well. Cheers!
Enjoyed the intro, felt like I was in Frostpunk, this should be one of the good endings.
Hell yeah! Glad you enjoyed it!
Bad ass intro! I'll start a tradition of brewing in shorts in February
Thanks man! IDK shorts in February is cool until you mention you live in TX lol
Good intro Steve, going full brajlord! Funny on the west coast of NH that blizzard produced 4 inches of snow and a bunch of ice. Wierd weather this year
Glad you enjoyed it! It has been a weird winter this year!
Being from the Buffalo area I feel that temperamental weather.. looks great!
Omg love the intro!
Everyone in the comments thought it was you lol
@@TheApartmentBrewer haha I got major The Thing/ The Shining vibes off it. Great music choices too. Also delicious beer!
I don't have a keg setup, I bottle condition my beers, I have a export/extra stout from September last year, about 6% ABV and 45 IBUs
I've found that if I pour it into a glass vigorously it releases the co2 and I don't get as bloated and it tastes creamier than when I just pour it softly.
I've considered getting a keggerator but I just don't have the space unfortunately, but I'm considering getting just a small 2 litre keg from ikegger and just fill it up when bottling and serve it on nitro, or whipped cream cartridges, and that can live in my fridge door in the milk compartment. Id get one of those stout taps for sure, looks awesome!!
BTW your weather seems whack lol, blizzard one day warm the next, I don't know if I would cope in those conditions, lol, I live in Australia I spose, winter nights some times -1 to -3° c and in summer can get to like 40 to 50° c in some places, although this past summer we barely got to 40° c at all, most days were nice between 23-38 ° c
Wow you really got into it. Awesome! Two and a Half Pints Homebrew watch out! LOL. Oh btw I think you have a wasp nest under your railing. 1:48. Cheers!
Ha! Nowhere close to the art they create, but thank you! Thanks for the eagle eye on the wasp nest, that explains why there were so many back in the fall. I'll take care of that before the spring!
Now this start is an advertisement I would not mind seeing at the start of a movie in a theatre! Provided, I have time after to grab a stout afterwards :)
Hahaha thank you!
Brewing in snow is insane....props to the hard-core brew day.
Cheers! It was one of the most fun brew days I've had in a while!
I like the looks and comments on your Irish Stout recipe. Would you please list the Lovidbond values for the grains you used. Congrats on the Bronze. I've entered several local competitions as well as volunteered as a Steward, you might like the Steward's duty because you'll have a chance to see the competition up close.
As a Southerner, I'm inspired by how you didn't care that you were in an actual blizzard. I've seen snow and let me tell you that ain't it
Hahaha it was a lot of fun, just gotta stay warm!
Hey! Great video. Definitely one of my favorite brewing RUclipsrs.
I am planning on brewing your stout. What’s the point of carbonating it if the plan is to knock out the carbonation? Would a stout nozzle still be necessary?
Glad you enjoy the videos! You don't want to knock all the carbonation out, just some of it. And this is just fine on a regular tap, it's really just a nuanced thing
Congratulations on winning a bronze at the NHC. You should check out local competitions. They can be fun and informative.
Thank you! I think smaller comps are definitely the way forward for more meaningful feedback, since the judges will probably be less rushed.
Cheers for the shoutout!
Fantastic looking beer, that stout nozzle looks pretty decent too to simulate that effect!
By the way, your audio was remarkably clear even for all that blizzard, are you using the Rode Lavalier Mic?
Anytime! Yup, $13 vs $200 to get something similar to nitro is a win for me. So actually my recorder died on me during the storm clips, so that was actually the camera-mounted Rode videomic pro. The Rode lav mic is on for the tasting section clips though.
@@TheApartmentBrewer well goddamn in completely in awe of the microphone, might need to invest in that because it sounded absolutely fine!
@@NikitaVorontsov it's a solid mic!
Hahaha amazing! Where’s he going? What’s that on the hill? Chug it! 🙌🏼🍻
Hahaha pretty much. Thanks for watching!
Nice! Just kegged my Irish stout this past Saturday! What PSI did you set your co2?
I'm pushing it through the faucet at normal serving pressures, around 8 PSI. I carbonated at 10-12 PSI for 5 days or so
Great video, that stout looked awesome!
I brewed my first beer recently, a"West Coast"! Got many problems (lower OG, higher FG), what surprised me the most was the lack of hop flavor. The hops seemed to hug the kettle during the boil, do you scrape the hop residue off during the boil? Either that, or my boil was too vigorous, just a guess. :)
When did you add the hops? Closer to the start of the boil, more towards the end, post-boil?
@@TonyChD I had my bittering at 60, then more "flavor" hops at 45, 30, and 0 + dry hop 10 days later!
I wouldnt worry about scraping hop residue off the side of the kettle, actually its better to avoid getting that into the fermenter. I would makesure your hops weren't old and that you didnt expose the beer to oxygen during the dry hop or conditioning process. Also a higher FG will make your beer more sweet and can take away from hop flavor coming through. Might also be your source water
I just bought a stout spout, but I cannot seem to get the flow correct. Can I ask what your beer line length is, and what size tubing, as well as what PSI your stout keg is set to? Thanks!
I think I had the beer line (vinyl) at 5 ft and it's 3/16" inner diameter. I pushed through the stout faucet at a but higher of a pressure, about 12 PSI
Mr Apartment! Why is it snowing there? I was told it would never snow again! How dare you!
Dang it, someone turned the warm switch off
I think brewing a stout during a blizzard is a perfect fit. That thick creamy head is like pure fluffy snow on the ground, right?
Not that I'd know as I'm in Florida and we get maybe 7 or 8 days a year we can turn off our A/C. :D
Seriously though, I am a bit jealous of people who get changes to their seasons. We get about 10 months of summer, a week of winter and the rest is our "Summer Light" season.
Kinda does make sense, doesn't it? I love having all four seasons, but don't get me wrong sometimes I am VERY jealous of Florida weather!! Cheers!
I thought I was on the wrong channel with that intro! Lol
Ha! Glad you enjoyed it!
What psi did you carb at ?
So I saw that same syringe trick...I tried it with some kid medicine syringes, no idea if those are wrong or right, but it seemed to work too well and caused my beer to overflow like crazy...for sure going to try it again and just not push down so hard...but I loves me an Irish stout
Cheers! I imagine with different types of syringes and different injection styles it will probably vary
Segunda quinzena de março farei uma Stout também 🍺🍺🍺! Aqui o Sol está muito lindo 🌞🌞🌞
Lo mejor de las suertes! Salud!
I just brewed an Irish Stout which to me came out feeling a little thin. Your recipe gives me something to think about. Do you prefer Flaked Barley over Flaked Oats? I was hopeful that the flaked oats would add some body to the beer. Our recipe isn't that different otherwise. I used 2-row instead of MO, used about 1/2 the roasted barley you did, and I split up the Chocolate addition with 1/2 Chocolate Rye, just to see what that would do. Beer tastes pretty good, just feels like it needs a little something more. Cheers!
I feel like oats add a little bit different of mouthfeel than Flaked barley, and Maris otter can also make the beer feel a bit fuller. I think it still would be enjoyable. Cheers!
@@TheApartmentBrewer Thanks for that. Definitely worth exploring. I appreciate your insight! Cheers!
Sadly i dont keg my beers. I guess for bottling i just have to go for a very low carbonation with very little priming sugar to compensate for the lack of having that special tap i suppose?
I thought you were gonna run into Garand Thumb in your intro
Flannel Daddy and Task Force 69 have never ventured this far north. All the Ron Jeremys are frozen solid
mad as a box of frogs ;)
The Revenant?
My favorite blizzard is Oreo
Wise words
Ah, you've been inspired by Two And a Half's Pint :-)
Indeed I have!
Got to be honest, not a fan of the two and a half minute intro. But TBH I'm not a fan of intros at all. Don't know why RUclipsrs make them. (call me impatient 😬)
Cool, that's why I put timestamps in if you wanted to skip the intro. Cheers!
@@TheApartmentBrewer I should have added, the rest of your content is great and super informative, as always. 🍻
