    Brewing for over a decade now. I've got a complete 1/2 BBL stainless RIMS system on a Blichmann Top Tier, but still very much enjoy watching how folks at all levels do their thing. Never done BIAB, but I may now after seeing this. Well done, my man. Very concise and easy to follow. High quality production. Took me about 2yrs before graduating to All Grain. Had to stop @ 12:30 to add my two cents though. I'd oxygenate (vigorous shake) BEFORE pitching your yeast, so those cells land in the best growth environment possible. Also might be nice to have a spray bottle with cold, distilled H2O ready for boil-overs because of the (relatively) small boil kettle. They WILL happen. This is the best "vice" ever. Brew on, brother.

    I think you should use a siphon to do the bee4 transfer to the bottling bucket. Pouring the beer adds oxygen and you really don't want that. Also it's easier to avoid piking up trub from the fermenter. Just a thought

      It will be Fahrenheit. The mash temperature in Celsius is about 68. The general wisdom I've read is that so long as you're between about 65 and 70 then you're fine. too hot and you start denaturing stuff, too cold and you won't extract sugars efficiently.

  • @brettanomyces7077
    @brettanomyces7077 7 лет назад +607

    One critique, racking should be done with a siphon. Pouring your finished beer into the bottling bucket oxygenated the whole batch which is always bad post fermentation. Destroys hop oils and quickly leads to staling.

    • @Harry-sw2zo
      @Harry-sw2zo 7 лет назад +66

      Totally, couple of rookie mistakes here. WHy didn't he just pour beer out of the fermenter bucket and leave the hop bags inside? Didn't cold crash long enough so the beer didn't clear as much, not to mention huge amounts of oxygenation when he poured that beer into the other bucket - super cringe mode activated. But hey good start, we all remember the first beer we make.

    • @gohabs9
      @gohabs9 7 лет назад +8

      this is truth. Also pour out the entire bottle at once so the sediment (trub) in the bottle doesnt slosh back up into the brew when you stop pouring.

    • @HeldUnderDesign

      He stated that this was only his 3rd time brewing his own beer. I think the video was more about him trying something new and letting people see how simple it can be (errors included). We all gotta start somewhere. Every new batch is a learning curve!

      @brettanomyces7077 7 лет назад +42

      Steve Reilly For sure and the video was better than I expected it to be, but that had to be pointed out. Oxygenation can easily ruin a beer and I learned the hard way after having to dump 5 gallons down the drain due to a faulty air lock bung.

      @Mudgard 5 лет назад

      Doug Kinsman You don’t need to worry at all with the hops. Hops are a preservative in themselves. If you sanitize the outside of the package and just pour them into the beer you’re fine. This is why IPA’s use so much hops. They were used to preserve the beer for the long trip overseas. Sorry if you already knew that. Just stating for the group.

    First off you guys make awesome videos on food. I've recently got into sourdough bread making. This is a great video on beer. I have been brewing for about 5 years. Just a few tips. Make sure to sanitize your scissors and yeast package before adding yeast to wort. Also you can siphon your fermented beer to your bucket before bottling to leave any sediment behind. Also don't want to add any air to beer before carbonation. I am bottling a pale ale that I infused with an orange soon for a subtle citrus profile for an easy summer session ale. Cheers

    Have fun. It gets addicting. There is so much to learn in the brewing process. You did a great job explaining it for beginners. I started brewing 2.5g batches 8 years ago using the BIAN method. Just a few notes. Squeezing the bag does not cause tannins. That’s a very old wives tail. Your hop schedule is presented in the opposite way of standard brewing terms. Your hop schedule was 60 min / 15 min / 0 min. The idea being you have a timer going and match the times on the timer. Keep up the great videos.

    I normally aim for a 90 minute mash, but 60 is usually recommended. Also while using a pot for brew in a bag method is fine, most of us home brewers prefer using a modified cooler box as it's insulated and will only drop a couple of degrees over an hour.

  • @bradleypariah
    @bradleypariah 7 лет назад +42

    You fermented in a bottling bucket, which is a no-no. The spigot is hard to clean and sanitize, so your very next beer might get infected. You want to ferment in a smooth vessel. No nooks, no crannies. When you went to bottle your beer, it made absolutely no sense to transfer to yet another bottling bucket, especially the way you did it. If you're going to clean & sanitize things super carefully, and you plan on breaking the no-fermentation-in-a-bottling-bucket rule, you may as well just attach your bottling wand directly to the spigot on the fermentation vessel to avoid unnecessary oxidation. Pouring one bucket into another from the top is why your beer almost certainly tasted a little stale, or perhaps of a hint of wet cardboard. If you didn't taste it, make the beer again, but don't perform that oxidizing step, and see if you appreciate your beer even more. When you poured your beer into the glass, there was that ring of larger bubbles on the bottom, that means your glass was dirty. Also, "trub" is pronounced "troob". In the end, you still made beer, and that's the real point here. I may be nit-picking, but you're right - it's very easy to make a drinkable beer. If you can boil water and wait a few weeks, you can make beer. Cheers!

      Fairly false, there are a lot of designed fermenters that come with spigots to make transferring to your bottling bucket easier, as long as you thoroughly sanitize everything including the spigot (which really isn't that difficult) and make sure everything is sealed, it will be fine.

    Loved this, I am also into fermented foods, saurkraut, apple cider vinegar, sour dough bread and obviously making alcoholic beverages.
    Another method for keeping the fermentor cool. Place fermentor in a larger container filled with water and drape the fermentor with a large cloth such as a towel obviously leaving the airlock visible, the water will soak up into the fabric and evaporate thus cooling what is inside. Keep container filled with water.

    For anyone with limited space trying to do this on a stovetop, extract is great. You can use a smaller pot for mashing/boiling, and you don't have a giant sack of soggy waste grain afterward. One warning I wish someone had given me: dry extract develops a giant head and will try to boil over when added to boiling water. Add it slowly just before you reach a real boil, and stir until it stops trying to form a head.

  • @antben

    I've been an avid homebrewer for 5 years and here are a couple of suggestions:
    +1 for the 30' mash, you don't need more.
    - You don't need to add heat during a 30' mash (even a 60' one) and you may burn the bag. Just start at your target mash temp and put the lid on.
    - Don't use the whole volume of water for the mash, a too thin mash may push your pH too high and extract tannins. Stick to a 1.7qt of water per lb of grain ratio (3.5L/kg) and add some water before the boil, taking into account some evaporation.
    - You won't extract tannins by squeezing the bag, the temperature is too low for this. You can even slightly "rinse" the bag to increase your efficiency.
    - Rack with the spigot and a tube down to the primming bucket instead of pouring the entire bucket like in the video, which will oxidize the beer and hurt the aromatic flavor.
    - Allow the bottle carbonation to occur at around 77F (25°C).

  • @zachariahpelletier4799

    Not sure if I’m missing something, but it’s also important to note that the Mango contains fermentable sugars as well, so you might want to also take a hydrometer reading around the time of secondary fermentation to account for that

    • @PowerRifff
      @PowerRifff 3 года назад

      The amount of sugar in the mango is way too low to cause any major impact on 10l of beer.

    • @ExploringTampa
      @ExploringTampa 7 лет назад +1

      There are MANY websites on cider recipes. Use the Google. But yes, fill fermenter with unpasteurized apple juice, add in some apple cider juice, add some brown sugar, stir vigorously, add yeast. Cider, from what I understand, takes longer to ferment.

    • @lorenhusky2717
      @lorenhusky2717 6 лет назад

      No, it's not quite that easy. The hardest part is finding apple juice with ZERO additives. 90% of the apple juice you find in a store is not appropriate for making cider because it has an additive in it that kills yeast. Whether the juice is pasterized or not doesn't really matter. It just needs to be completely additive free. Make sure you have a pot that is big enough to hold all of the apple juice you want to ferment. Bring it to a boil and then back it off to a steady simmer and add your corn/cane/brown sugar to the mix slowly and stir it in. Make sure it's fully dissolved in the solution. From there it's the same as this video. Cool the apple wort down to a safe temp for the yeast, transfer it to the carboy and pitch the yeast.

    Very good video and lots of helpful tips for beginners. Others have noted about not oxygenating the beer when transferring to the bottling bucket, but the only other comment I'd make is - don't wash your beer bottles with soap. Soap often has perfumes (which would leave unpleasant aftertastes) and many have a wetting agent - especially dishwasher detergents - that will have the effect of reducing or destroying any head on your beer. Commercial products for cleaning bottles and equipment would include Powdered Brewery Wash (PBW) or sodium percarbonate as a raw chemical. But great video and well explained - congratulations on your brewing adventures.

    hey buddy i absolutely love the channel, youre a chAMPION. I once left you a very unpleasant comment in the past because i saw that you bought tortillas in a packet rather than making your own. I still have not forgiven you for buying torillas in a packet but i am feeling terrible about the negitivity of my comment and I hope it didnt spread any bad vibes. That said you should most definitely always always make your own tortillas. Thanks so much for all these amazing videos, i recently got into fermenting, making chilli sauces, and now you are the perfect guide to talk me through getting into home brewing some beers! I love fermenting chilli sauces with garlic and im looking forward to getting some beers happening too, thanks again for everything you do brother, much love and respect. Again i think you are fantastic and im a big fan.... but please always handmake your own tortillas, in my opinion its the best part of my day :)

    My brother and I make beer on a small scale, but in the level of a microbrewery. And the one thing we’ve found is water is the key. This is the biggest and identifiable factor we’ve come across. We made the same exact beer down to the tee, with multiple waters. Which we had our water tested and changed our water profile to fit those around the world and it’s the complete game changer. Add sulfites, sodium’s, etc to change up your water to fit whether it’s NYC, Belgium, Tokyo, etc; it’s the biggest factor you can do. And one recipe can literally become an infinite supply of different tastes and textures. Def do that in my opinion once you realize you wanna homebrew. And this works with all alcohol making.
