I did like this video! My first homebrew was a total success! So now I'm learning all I can about this hobby and thinking of going whole grain at some point in the near future.
I am glad you found it helpful. There are lots of ways to brew beer and lots of different equipment options. BIAB has worked for me. The electric all-in-one systems these days look like great options as well. Extract based brewing is also a good option, especially if you want to save some time or get started with less equipment. Good luck!
Cheers friend just subscribed after we found your channel ,we home brew beer grow hops make mead and wines on our channel , ,stay thirsty and brew on .we will be brewing soon
I tune my recipes in BeerSmith for an overall efficiency of 73% and usually come very close to my target volume and gravity. A fine grain crush seems quite important for good efficiency with BIAB. Adding in a sparge is a good way to boost efficiency.
@@CascadesHomebrew that is a decent efficiency for such a simple method. I have an anvil foundry 10.5. And got a brew bag for it. Got about the same efficiency as you on my first brew with it. Just checking if I was in the ball park on that. It seems a lot easier to use than the grain basket it comes with. And was only getting 65% efficiency with it to boot.
It is a stainless steel kettle. I don't have much experience with aluminum. Since this video I have acquired a larger stainless kettle with a ball valve. The ball valve makes draining the kettle much easier.
Is there a specific style you want to see brewed? For the most part, you can take a 5 gallon recipe and use 40% of the ingredients to make a 2 gallon batch. You may need to adjust water a bit based on your system and process.
Have you read any of my other replies? But...0.5 oz at the start of the boil and 0.5 oz at 5 minutes left in the boil would get you some bitterness and flavor.
Generally, around 2 lbs of grain per gallon of wort will yield a beer around 5% ABV (so around 4 lbs for 2 gallons). For a Pale Ale level of hop character, you probably want about 2 oz of hops with maybe 0.5 oz at the start of the boil, 0.5 oz at 10 min, and 1 oz at flameout, but you might need to adjust for the aa% of the hops (which has a big impact on bitterness). I mash for 60 minutes and boil for either 30 or 60 minutes.
This is not real beer, because proper beer uses exactly 3 ingredients. Water, malted barley and hops. I stopped watching when you added your chemicals. This is not beer at all.
You forgot yeast! Chemicals? The water salts or acid addition? If you add table salt to your food, you are adding a similar "chemical". If you have the basics of brewing under your belt, I would recommend you look into adjusting minerals and pH of your brew. It is one change that can take a beer from good to great. In any case, thanks for giving my channel a try.
Nice! BIAB is where its at! Always fun to see how other BIABers do it
Thanks! I don't quite have the production quality of your videos...but maybe one day. ;)
@@CascadesHomebrew you will, keep up the great work!

Great video 👍

Thanks for this great video! Full of good information. Had a question about what mash efficiency you are getting from this method?

I can't quite tell is that is an aluminum pot or stainless. If aluminum, how is it doing for you?

Maravilhoso.....Brazil
Sorry sir dont mind 2gallon bach how many liter water what hops adding sir plase

Two gallon bach brew video sir
I brew a number of 2.5 gallon batches on my stove with a 5 gallon kettle. My girlfriend usually brews 2 gallon batches in a 4 gallon kettle.
Sir 2gallon bach howmany sterling hops adding sir adding time plase sir
