I saved so much money watching this vid I have to give back!
Let’s party, Party! 🍻
My favorite homebrew hack is tuning into Homebrew 4 Life every Tuesday.
See y'all Brajs there 🍻
CH your low cost and K.I.S.S. approach to brewing is what made me pull the trigger and start brewing. Keep up the content, it is edited exactly right for my attention span.
Got my 2 tap kegerator off FB market. $300, came with 3 kegs and 2 CO2 tanks (almost worth the price right there). Upgraded the rusty taps and put new beer line in, added locks to keep the kiddos out. Artist wife made me custom tap handles. My kettle/mash tun doubles as a crab boiler. Credit score 849.
"an arm and a nut sack" - f**kin' laff out loud!
bro the magnet idea is excellent
Starsan (chemisan etc) is a solution of phosphoric acid and a splash of dish soap. Buying the chemical in higher concentration (usually 15%) from lab or catering supply stores and diluting it yourself saves a huge amount.
🍻
Been using the magnet technique for dry hopping since I first saw it on your channel. Absolutely love it! Thanks!
This video was PSWEET!! (P is silent 😅) I’ve saved so much from watching your videos so thank you!
Yeast supposedly clings on to hop oils acting like a fining agent keeping them behind during transfer which is why some prefer to cold crash and dump the yeast out first and if that is not possible then transfer to another vessel would be next best choice. It is possible though that bagged hops don't interact with the yeast as much as free floating ones that get mixed in and sometimes end up underneath the yeast cake. Also some think that floating yeast with hop oils attached in floating beer is the cause of astringency.
For kettles and tuns. Maple syrup 304 SS drums with reinforced bottoms. I had a buddy weld mine in. Essentially shipping containers. About $260 Canadian for 32Gal unit.
Since I am always smashing my hydrometer test tube I decided to make the perfect shatter proof vessel. Take the stainless tube from the pony keg & tip it upside down. Cut the tube so your hydrometer fits. Put copper or stainless mesh in the bottom for a cushion & bam. Unbreakable hydrometer test tube.
That's a great idea!
I starting using magnets for dry hopping while using a keg as a fermenter. Great tip!
Cool tips, especially the magnets, awesome!
this channel is so underrated its nuts you guys deserve so much more subscribers
Dude! Checking out that diy spunding valve video out today, need to make one of those. Also the DIY Keg BIAB systems are sweet. Always like seeing those out on big brew days.
Bro blew my mind with the dry hop magnet trick!!! Been picking my brain on how to dry hop without oxidizing.
Great video. Huge fan of the bucket fermenters
keep watching ya man, so keep the love flowin! much respekts
best home video yet. love and mean love your dry hop method. genius.. Not even Einstien has this!!!
Favorite brew hack? Oxiclean. That hint alone makes this channel worth it. Thanks bruu. Now give yourself a short mandatory beer chug, you deserve it.
When I'm taking gravity readings during the brew, cooling them down used to take forever, now I keep a small cake pan in the freezer, put the wort sample in that, and it's down to 20c in about 5 minutes, even if i take right from the boil.
I love that!
Tip: When releasing keg pressure, turn it on it's side so the dip tube isn't in the left over beer!
No bathtub needed for warming fermenters, I use an Inkbird running two heating pads and a plant warming matt wrapped around my keg or allrounder fermenter with a bungee cord. Stick the temp sensor to the side with plumbers putty or tape and cover it all up well. Set and walk away.
Cutting the top off the keg is the fastest way to save money if you are interested in brewing 10 gallons at a time, I love it
Great tip!
3/4 brass barb fitting plus floating dip tube works great attached to the back of a fermenter tap.
Good Stuff, I need to try the magnet trick, I was Zip Tie a Paint strainer to the end of my hose running from the Fermenter to the keg. This catches any Dry Hops or yeast you don't want in your finished beer. Only works if your not doing a closed transfer, and you may want to Purge keg of CO2 and Sanitize the bag first.
Sick vid, cheers man!
As someone who got into the home brew scene over 5 years ago I can’t help but ooze recommendations for channels like yours, what a sick “scene”. HB4L
Credit score down 25 points since getting into homebrewing. Needed to find these videos earlier!
Don't worry, eventually you will save tons of money. Beer prices are insane at the stores. Last time I went to the store, I just looked at all the beer and didn't even buy any. It's alright, I still have about 30 gallons at home.
@@Soupy_loopy absolutely. That is what I told my wife 🤣🤣🤣 All kidding aside, $10.99-16.99 per 4 or 6 pack of the fancy stuff adds up quick and will quickly pay for what I bought and save me money.
I swear half of homebrewing is just coming up with creative ways to solve a problem. Some great hacks you showed, use a few myself.
One of my favorite power moves from my early days of brewing:
Instead of buying a false bottom for my mash tun I made a square of pvc tubing that ties into the ball valve. Drill lots of holes in one side of the pvc tubing and bam, you have a way to syphon off all of that delicious sugary goodness without taking a bunch of grains with it.
damn this video is really a huge power move in terms of home brewing and getting a significant amount techniques/work/tricks for extremely cheap and relatively easy. Very inspiring. Also they touch on lots of the HB4L matra but also in a new light which is which that dawg CH is still making for sure #1 home brew videos. Much respect to my dawg.
Cheers Braj!
I went 1" lover than you on 50l keg (while drilling) - my tip is to add spring washer and whole connection will not loose (never).
Loved the end of the video , Cheers Guys 🍻🍻🤙🏼
I really need to start fermenting in kegs, and I'm not quite sure why I didn't get more spigots yet. Great overview of some of the classic hacks! Cheers!
How do you remove them before racking if you dry hop for a couple of days right after fermentation?
Excellent!! Great info!!! 👍
I’ve been taking a page out of the brulophy book and dry hopping at yeast pitch with kveik for ipa’s, beer is done in 4-5 days max with a full dry hop charge in the bank while completely sealed.
THE MAN IS BACK ! Love Your Crazy Ass Videos , Oh and to Learn Stuff !!!!!! lol
Modular wire shelving. They are cheap and can easily handle the weight of 10gal systems. Being modular, putting together a multi-tier gravity system is easy.
Best homebrewing hack: being subbed to H4L
I havent done it myself, but some people cut the bottom of the keg, flip it over, and use the spear opening for a drain.
Keep an eye on buy/sell forums, I scored a 3v electric herms setup unused for 1/3 the price of new.
Eventually you’re going to have to make beer on your beer channel.
My favorite hack…ikea chip clips to press the thingy on ball lock disconnects, saves my finger every time!!
Friend has a 3d printer and made cleaning popits for me that go on the disconnects
If you have not heard this before..... ALL the buckets at Home Depot ARE food grade. Yes the Orange ones, The white ones and the ones that Say food grade are all FOOD GRADE.
Another top tier video, saving me enough money to buy some merch! Lets get the beer on!
Much love MM! 🍻

Boy do I love me some tips and tricks!
Woah woah woah didn’t know Mario was bricked up
Thanks!
Cheers Braj!
You are the best dude!
The magnet dry hopping method 🤯🤯🤯
💯
Nice vid! 🍻 to saving money! 💰
REGULATORS!!! Magnet dry hop moves are the way to go!
Mario strikes again lmao
3g of ascorbic acid with the dry hop addition keeps the oxidation away.
Big sparge arm energy
BIG ASSED CHUNKS OF ICE !! Inkbird, / pond pump !! fermentation chiller. (Glycol Schmycol 😎)
Great video, use some of those hacks. But it did seem a little redundant from previous videos.
Thank you braj, you have saved me so much time and money; and who in the hell has 50 bucks..? Love your editing !!👍👍💛🍻🕊
Thank you DJ!
Per evitare l'ossidazione senza utilizzare isobarico e contro pressione uso in fase di imbottigliamento 2 gr x 25 litri di birra di acido ascorbico.
🍻
I just want to brew a batch with you and Trent. 🍻
On my way
Good stuff. Great advice.
That converted keg looked a lot like my kegmenter which I’ve come to really like after a couple uses. Was a great investment for the cost as new, but I wonder what the equivalent cost of a converter keg would be.
Cheers larry!
You guys are rad.
Awesome video! Who doesn't love saving money 🍻🍻🍻
I use sankeys and they are a pain to learn how to open them, the correct way is to pull the ring without bending it, I use a knife and stick the tip into one of the two holes and try to pull it out, used to take me 10mins but now it's like 1 minute tops
these tips are great and all, but when is the new short rib video coming out????
are you telling me that a two inch tri clamp fits directly to the keg without modifications? thats a game changer.
Yes as long as you get the ring off
Shit. I'm about to rack my lambic onto fruit and was just going to buy two fermonsters for that. Now I'll make my own bucket!
you got this, cheers!
Plastic bucket fermentor all the way but I'm willing to pay the couple extra bucks at my LHBS to get that rubber-gasketed lid. Had some lid leaks with the hardware store variety lids. Never ruined a batch but I'm not gonna push my luck.
Cheers!
5:32, T500 crab boiler?
Listening at the gym. Unfortunately I am not handy enough for dyi.
Awesome video! Using sanke kegs for home brewing is one of the best hacks, Im still fermenting beer in sanke kegs. Reusing yeast is a good trick too, I think. For 20 gallon batches I was paying about $32 for yeast each time, on the same yeast strain for 1 year now with at least 8 batches. Close to a $300 savings
Solid feedback cheers!
Your method for cleaning sanke kegs after fermenting in them?
@@tman9338 I haven't cleaned my keg fermenters for about a year now. I leave the beer in the fermenters until brew day and syphon it out and leave some behind along with the yeast. And put the new wort in shortly after.
Its allowed me to reuse the same yeast all this time, saved around $32 each brew day this way.
@@kevinfidler8074 Wow. That is a monster move. Will that work for 8% IPA’s ?? No off flavors??
I always wondered if that would work. I did something similar with 3470 over the winter, the remaining beer with priming sugar in it would get dumped over the yeast in the fermenter to get it going again, the next batch would go right on top
That Mario sticker has a monster python on him! 2:46 no wonder bowser was jealous and stealing his girl.
😂
I’m 4 for 5. Gotta finish the DIY pressure regulator.
Yeah, my credit score is wicked good, you don't even have to check

I know another money saving tip...don't waste money on razors and leave the beard alone, CH. I learn this every time I shave and my wife gives me the look of "wtf?"
Great video btw ;)
Thx cheers Justin !
pft. i just found all these tips on youtube. all in one video! #HB4L
BRAJ MOVES
How to force carbonate... best trick in the book!
Mega Man 2 Magnums in the food vac, tho.
nice
How much headspace do you leave in a corny or sixtel when using it to regular ferment and also pressure ferment?
all depends on how aggressive the fermentation is. Higher ABV requires more headspace
made my own grainfather using existing pot, a heating element and arduino.
That’s the idea!
Credit score sucks favorite hack is stealing your hacks and tell my friends I thought of this lmfao J/K. Cheers Braj 🍻
👏👏👏
Ay bruu, I have a non video related q. I know I've probably seen one of your vids about it but I cant find it. I need advice on a good grain mill. Dont wanna spend more than 250 or so. Any advice??
yeah buddy this one! amzn.to/3tfRce0

Braj !!!
Love is in the air!
Today I'm going to quit my job to become a full time RUclips commenter!
To answer your question, I am the hack. Now a question for you, Any advice on hop extract?
Tune into the livestream!
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Hoppy Hour?
Is the beard back?
I need me a keg
Correct!
PSI = Pounds per square inch, not pressure per square inch 😂🙃
Nice tips thanks, btw my credit score is 2032 :D
Pin lock gang, where you at?
for the love of a motherless man make the 4 pack tshirt in diff $amounts before i copy it. $25 here in AUD!
PSI is pounds per square inch ya dweeb. You can punch me for saying this at BRAJCON 2022!
Ha nice catch!
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE great vid buddy. Content has been sharp lately.
Credit score? No idea. Don't buy things on credit. It will make you poor and the financial institutions rich.
