Thanks for watching! Please help support the channel at www.patreon.com/elementalmaker. Every patron gets a virtual hug and my unending appreciation. I will also build a small shrine to worship you. One of these is a lie.
The appreciation? 🤔 I want to see the shrine if I contribute 😁😉
This would be the only channel I would consider donating to. Just to spur your ass to make more content.
Okay @ElementalMaker...
I'd like a real hug (when appropriate), unending appreciation, (goes with the territory)... and also the shrine (I like mahgoney and gold leaf, with some brass, sparkly purple bits too) your worship, of course (you don't know, what you don't know)
PLUS the yeast. It's been awhile.
Less the pain in the D.
Thanks man, for doing what you do
👏 👍 ❣️
PS All lies... Except the last bit
PPS loving your stuff - that bit is true
@@rgburns I'll hug ya when its inappropriate. LOL
Hi, ElementalMaker you could use your microwave oven's transformers to make an electro magnet.
Please make it I'd like to see it.
The beer is cool and everything but id love an explanation for that rubber 'tiddy' in your workspace
It looked flat
Ha, I just started homebrewing myself. Made some mead and some grape wine. I'm growing some cascade and chinook hops too.
Nice! I recently made a mango hibiscus cider thats about... 6% and managed to make it taste entirely non alcoholic (i have a sensitive palate)
I prefer my alcohol that's been stored in oak barrels for a few years
You can get relatively good results with oak chips and a microwave.
@@DanceTranced even better results with the same oak chips and a sonic cleaner
thanks to your wife for all the tireless effort! and thanks to you for many great videos! good timing, i was just about to brew up some beer myself. gotta make more pale ales to keep the wife happy, otherwise i'd probably be doing an amber also. FYI it takes only a little pure oxygen to juice up the yeast. another note is that dry yeast are stressed a bit by straight introduction to wort, for best results hydrate it in a little sterile water for 5 mins before adding it to wort. cheers!
I took some of the dregs from my last batch of brown ale and added it to my sourdough starter.
Nice! how'd that turn out?
I would like to know as well
Just polished off a peanut butter porter and ordered a honey brown kit. I finally made the leap to kegging instead of bottling. Love the channel. Cheers 🍻
He makes beer too? The element of surprise..love this channel
Man I love your channel. You always amuse me and make me laugh at the same time. You're a genius by how you use the chemical knowledge in such practical ways. As a chemical engineer I really admire you. I hope your wife, your dog and you are doing OK
Funny RUclips promoted you to me. I am thankful. Excellent work! More Beer. More Better.
Funny thing about that slip... I generally take over the kitchen and fill it with supplies/equipment when I'm *bluing*, so it all works... ;) Done everything from a replica '58 Remington to the receivers on my '95 Savage and '98 Mauser in the kitchen...and the bathroom or wherever for the rusting stage.
looks like fun times, I just finished about 3 gallons of mead myself. good time to just brew some of anything
I'd be interested to sample a honey-mead. That might be interesting.
@@TechGorilla1987 isn't all mead made of honey?
@@TheKopakah i was about to say the same thing lol, the term "honey-mead" is like saying "fruit-wine" or "distilled-whiskey"
I took my process one step further and made some damned good rum. My county (And Heir Vooolf) have allowed our liquor store to open today, so the flood gate has opened. York county here.
I want to at least taste your rum. Knowing you, it has to be good.
@@BackYardScience2000 You turn up in all of the back alley chemical deals, my friend! LOL! All we need is a bon fire and a big doob and we're set! I ran this stuff through a Britta filter and I cannot believe just how smooth it is at 100 proof. It will rearrange your perspective quickly.
@@TechGorilla1987 haha! Yeah I'm everywhere. 😉 And Ohhh, I bet that tastes great!
What did you make it from? Also what yeast did you use? I've been making mind from golden syrup and it's pretty ok.
I absolutely love your content, always something unusual and fascinating. It's a real shame that RUclips doesn't see you as someone worthwhile promoting because the videos you make are actually pretty much along the vein of other great RUclipsrs. I appreciate the fact you keep making videos because on late nights, when I'm bored and need someone just as crazy and tinker-ey as I am, checking out your videos always puts a smile on my face!
By the way, your wife is an absolute legend for being on the frontlines amidst everything that's been happening. I hope she stays healthy, just as much as yourself
One day when I've got more to offer than kind words, I'd be happy to support the channel. Until then, thank you for the really cool videos you post!
Looks delicious buddy, well done and as usual extreamly interesting and informative. More power to your elbow sir.
I was waiting for you to holler, "SON OF A DIDDLY!" 😀
I was waiting for him to end with "Keep your dick in a vice."
Even though I quit drinking, I just got tired of spending money on it. I still gave it a thumbs up. I appreciate your videos. Thank you.
You are a damn funny guy , and multi talented. Always look forward to your videos,no matter the content. Huge fan,Smiths Falls,Ont.Canada
This what the world needs more of, but it took a pandemic for people to share how to
Homebrewing videos have existed almost as long as youtube has, as has the information in plain text on various websites. Just gotta look for it.
Mmmm- yeast farts! I've been seriously considering making some sweet hard cider in my down time. Your vids have inspired me to expand on my garage time & I've started making freedom seeds!
Awesome!
@@ElementalMaker have a question & I'm willing to hire. I have few prototype projectile I've worked up but don't have precise equipment to dial in last few thousandths of diameter. (roughly .3125 - need .308) I'm crossing 300prc/338 Norma long profile w 308 Win platform for increased rifling engagement & reduced weight for cal due to solid brass. On paper its pushing +3100fps w near 1k yd accuracy. It has special tip design for penetration & hydraulic disruption. Taofledermaus (think you're familiar w channel) willing to test & film with his Chronos high speed, but nobody seems to be interested in taking my $...
Are we just not going to talk about the Wedding Ring Bottle Cap Remover technique? You blew my mind with that one, I'm about to go grab a beer and try it out. Good stuff!
Would love to see some elemental gunner sometime home. Love the videos.
4:08 It´s alive!!!!
Fantastic !!!
Awesome! A self stirring pot! ;)
I've just started brewing, loving it so far
Damn I'm thirsty now, I'm from South Africa and we have full prohibition because of Covid-19. My favorite beer is a nice cloudy weiss :(
Ah man I just read about the SA lockdown. Crazy they would prohibit alcohol. I hear many are making fermented pineapple brew. Sounds pretty damn tasty aside from that couple who really somehow botched it... Still not sure how that can even happen.
@@ElementalMaker Thank you for your amazing work, it's because of creators like you that I have interesting entertainment to help pass the time during lockdown! The weiss will come again some day :) Yes, pineapple beer brewing is indeed hugely popular here. I love how lockdown is forcing people to make stuff again, as a maker, I think it's really good for society to learn some basic crafts.
@@ElementalMaker Recently they lifted the alcohol ban, but tobacco is still banned. It will only hurt the government, though, as I see smokers still get their puff and are finding it smoother without the normal exorbitant 50% tax.
@@idea-shack how does that even make sense? One thing that kept a lot of people healthy during the Black Plague was drinking beer because the alcohol killed most of the things in the water. It literally kept people healthy
@@Louzahsol It does make sense even if we don't like it. Our hospitals are maxed out at the moment due to Covid, so they can't afford to allocate beds to trauma cases that were alcohol related. It's a sad fact that a large number of trauma cases are alcohol related and that it declines drastically during prohibition (despite boot leg consumption).
There are plenty of opportunities for over-engineering the brewing process. My buddy was going to make a contraption with peltier devices to cool off the wort until testing showed that they don't have near enough cooling capacity. Went back to his coil of copper pipe he submerges in the wort and runs tap water through. What I want to do is get a big heat exchanger that I can recirculate a bucket of icewater through on one side and the wort on the other. That might be the ultimate chiller device, but I'm not sure where I'd get an appropriate heat excharger. I don't think I want to build the kind I have in mind.
Well done mate!
Thank you!
In my younger days I ran a pub in the UK I was the brewery's youngest landlord and was also a member of The Guild of Master Cellar Men, that was hard work. Hope your family is well, I can imagine your wife is more than a little overworked. All the medical, hospital staff and cares around the world are doing a great job. I a carer who looks after me so I do not need to go outside. But still missing it, early February was the last time on the street.
What year was your younger days? If you don't mind my asking haha?
A friend of mine also brews beer (I only make wine) and recommended Milton Sterilising Tablets to me. Intended to sterilize baby items in cold water it also does a great job preparing my flasks. And the best thing no rinsing needed and absolutely safe (as no one would risk an infants health)!
We are importing them from the UK to Germany for us, mayby one can get them also on the other side of the globe.
Very cool. It looks like those contain Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate, which essentially creates a weak bleach solution. Do you get any sort of bleach taste in your final product? I use starsan which is also no rinse and acts as a yeast nutrient.
@@ElementalMaker Luckily not at all. Used them in four batches up to now and neither me nor any friends who tastes my wine complained about weird taste. And most importantly it doesn't seem to harm my yeast.
@@faxezu Most excellent!
As a serious comment - I applaud your wife. My wife is in Medicare and works Nursing Homes. It's been an interesting time here. Thankfully our path has remained fairly straight. I hope yours has as well. That said, the wheels have fallen off the world around us. Stay un-sheep-like, my friend.
The 150F cook converts Starches to Sugars doing my hooch. I never cooled it down like that.
That looks like a freakin’ tasty brew there!
Indeed it is! My favorite homebrew to date!
That pot getting a case of the wobbles just need a good wack in the middle on the bottom to ding it in a bit so it expands up in the middle instead of down when heated
There are the Grolsche plop bottles, cheers mate 🍻
Love those bottles. Have about doubled my collection of them since this video
thats some stout beer there
Wow, not at all
Looks to be very tasty, Happy Consuming!
Sir. Hops must be one of the loveliest and useful flowering buds ever, bar one, which are the flowering buds of the magicijuana plant, both plants are Related. How Cool is that. Where's me Pint 🍺🇬🇧🇺🇸.
I was wondering earlier today what youve been up too. Now i know.
Bloody Brilliant my friend. I've been to the Adnams Brewery in Southwold Suffolk. We used to drink Adnams Extra on draught in the Cross Keys in Alderbough down the road from the brewery, it was nectar of the Gods. I think the Extra has been replaced by Broadside, it too is a strong delicious Ale. Stay Safe mate. 🍺🍺🍺🇬🇧🍺🍺🍺🇺🇸👍!
I heard NileRed gave a recipe to make toilet paper moonshine
Edit: The toilet paper is very appropriate for these times
I'm so damn impressed 😂. I can almost taste that brew
EM, it is pronounced 'key-lay-tion'. And I'm a hard cider man myself!
I knew I was butchering it!
I think a Belgian style beer is my second favorite, right after super hoppy IPAs.
But I also like malt liquor.
What can I say, I'm cultured.
What is that on the back left of your work bench? 😂
Haha! Figures that we would be brewing at the same time.
Ok you got a new sub. Blackpowder, rocket engines and beer? I do not need much more to be happy :p
Glad to have you aboard 👍
@@ElementalMaker :)
Oh, I do need to say. Your voice is really cool man!
I have watched a couple of you videos and like them!!! Just a few notes about this one: chelating is pronounced "KEY-LATE-ING", THERE IS nothing LIKE DRINKING YOUR OWN HOME BREW!!! And DUDE!!! You're STILL using Star San???
Love the videos keep up the great work. Oh and nice try almost covering up the Canadian Tire bucket :~]
my cider just done fermenting, good stuff!
Where did you get apples this time of the year?
@@TheKopakah bottles of apple juice or frozen concentrate from the store works. On the shelf year round in USA.
@@ThinkFreely2012 thats what i use when i want to make a cider usually, works great.
@@Draakdarkmaster6 it's what I use when I make apple Jack likker. 👍
Great idea! Although I coulda used this video a month ago...
It looks good love to try it but too much work for me.
Mr Maker try making (champagne) sparkling wine one day
You should do a spin off project on making marmite from the dregs.
Or recovering live yeast for re-use
welllll at least you got some real grian in the brew ;)
@2:55 what's he saying ? I keep rewinding it, but can't hear a word.... my brain just locks in on the boob !!!!
I actually brew my own mead and use that exact same brew jug.
Every mead I’ve ever had has tasted like vinegar with honey in it and I swear most people only like it because they want to be Vikings
@@Louzahsol Then you have not had good, properly made mead. It should never taste like vinager, if so then it wasn't stored well or wasn't aged properly. If you would like to see what good mead can taste like, I recommend The Viking Alchemist brewery. In the times I have tried them, their stuff was good/authentic and did not require you to have to learn to brew it yourself.
Hey, Elemental Maker, as always I love your videos. I just want to know what that object was that was in the top left when you made your interjection to explain you use RO water.
The worlds largest stress ball 😂
I like your inkbird temperature controller ;)
I do too, I've gotten several years out of it and still going strong. Works great for the heating belt
@@ElementalMaker Its for sure more convenient than industrial REX type PID controllers!
I've been making orange wine, AKA screwdrivers.
Na Zdrowia!
Man I'd love to have one looks some good
Stay safe and stay solvent. On the bright side, RUclips did put a lot of adds on this one and I let most of them run full length.
I get free Premium off a family member. No adverts at all.
Are you Frank Hill ?
With all these IPAs (not a fan), I'm down for a amber ale.
Last beer I had was Tripple from New Belgium Brewing. #tripplebelgium
@18:28 - Blowing up bottles might get Hank out in the garage with his gun...
Or Dale with his pocket sand...
Hey PETER!
Never made beer, but I got 15 gallons if blueberry wine in secondary atm. Started out making mead, but honey is too expensive to make any profit. Still make mead, but I keeps it for meself.
Mead is like 15 bucks a bottle, minimum, you could easily profit from it as long as honey isnt exorbitantly priced where you are.
But blueberry wine sounds heavenly, i want to start my own at some point.
Hi watched your bid while waiting for my passenger to come out of the hospital. Could I do with one of those beers ,been here for five hours ten mins ,I NEED A BIG DRINK!!!!!!!!! Regards MIke
Hey remember when you did black powder and you did a graphite version well you could make a road flare with it right?
have you ever thought about building a still and making whiskey ?
Check out my past video on making anhydrous ethanol, but never would I ever dream of making *cough* *cough* whiskey!
I agree with you. Give me a nice Belgian blond any day. Preferably a triple but I won't say no to a quad or double either
Actually that was a perfect pour
self mixing pot cool
I paid extra for that feature!
Doesn't matter if you are doing extract brewing. I know some very experienced brewers that have gone back from all grain because they don't have time.
Well well well! If it isnt a channel that takes notes from AvE
Elemental maker I might need a little bit of help we got the forge up and running and the burner keeps shutting off and the square head plug is centered and the Galvanized coupling is tightened. Its just when we turn on the burner with the ball valve it keeps giving less flame. we do have an opening for air to flow through but it is making a blue flame on the start but not the end of the flame.
My grandmother would have killed you for not pooring the yeast sediment of the bottle into your glass. Luckily she aint around anymore...she came from a family of brewer's. Greetings from Belgium.
I often do drink it, had to look classy for the camera though 😁
I mean, it is technically good for you lol
What kind of ABV did you come out with? Oh, NVM you said at the end there, 8-9 %. Could you post a link to the kit you used to get that kind of result? Cheers, and happy brewing!~
Always give your equipment a rinse...
stop drinking beer😂,we need you, it's almost New Year's Eve 💥
isn't EDTA a chelating agent, rather than an "anti chelating agent"? 16:30
I was kind of hoping to see you design a custom brew. Using a kit is fine but i find that alot of the fun of brewing is designing new recipes, and recording them in case i enjoy them. But anyway what is the flavor profile of what you brewed? You said it was good but ive never had the kind of beer you made.
The shaking is a feature, agitator, so long as it does not walk off that's a boniness.
Hi, elementalmaker. I want to see you making an electro magnet using microwave oven's transformers that would be cool to see.
Just stumbled on this channel, but can someone answer me this question.
Is this channel at all related to AvE? What threw me for a loop was the opening of some of the videos on that work bench. And voice threw me off but if anyone knows that'd be great thanks
1. Is that nipple beer bottle compatible?
2. Does it harden from the frosty tempatures?
3. Where can I get one?
What is the sanitizer that you are using that it's okay to leave the suds in your container? You should've showed what percentage of alcohol it ended up being.
Its star san, if its the stuff i use its probably phosphoric acid, which yeast actually likes when its diluted enough, its a no rinse sanitizer
Isn't fermentation an anaerobic process? I would think adding oxygen would effectively halt fermentation. My best guess is the oxygen jumpstarts the activation and growth of the yeasts. I would fact check all of that, could be waaaaaay off base here.
Its entirely aerobic, yeast and many other fungi require oxygen to live, and exhale CO2.
Just me or did he just make a Twin Peaks reference?
Damn fine pie!
Come out to North Bend, WA and see the real locations it was shot in! Neat little town... just a little West is Snoqualmie where the Lodge is at the falls.
@@BattleChemist if im near there I'll definitely check that place out.
Can't help but notice that you leave the suds of your sanitiser in the pots and brewers. Wont that get into the beer and make it taste funny?
Morlanius Nope. It's what the manufacture says Todo. I do the same leave lots of suds. I haven't tasted anything yet.
That sanitizer is essentially dilute phosphoric acid, yeast likes it and will eat and break it down, so it shouldnt leave any aftertaste, but ive heard it makes the brew taste more acidic (makes sense, its acid after all)
You have to be related to AvE !!!!!!
Putting rocket fuel in beer bottles will make them explode , funny how these things work. ;)
Nice 1 brother. Glad to see you're using this time wisely👍
h*ck yeah
What do the colour changing bottle caps indicate?
Herpes
@@ElementalMaker Oh dear, that's worrying!
What percentage alcool is there in that beer?
Fantastic job on the brewing... I'm with you, can't stand the heavily-hopped brews.
You were slightly butchering it, it's "key-layting", at least in the chemistry labs I got my degree in up in the PNW; I recognize there may be regional pronunciations, though. Love that you even threw in the fact that EDTA is a chelating agent (sequesters metal ions).
Haha Michael J fox pot!
what was all the foam in the fermenter before you poured in the stuff out of the pot?
That's the sanitizer I use. Called star san. It's a no rinse sanatizer.
