Can Homebrew Kill You? (Dangers of homebrewing wine, cider and mead) Info for 2020

- Homebrew wine cider and mead can kill you? Well, some people think so. Some people also think the earth is flat. Today we talk about some of the myths and misinformation and some of the current events that lead people to believe. It's murky waters out there today to find out the truth about homebrewing. Many will say it's deadly, many will say the opposite. Those that say it's deadly are either misinformed or trying to sell something. Homewbrew is not DISTILLATION. That's a whole other animal and CAN be dangerous if not done properly. Well, certainly anything CAN be dangerous if not done properly. I've actually heard of people adding rubbing alcohol, gasoline, turpentine and other crazy things to their brews in an effort to boost the power of it. Don't do these things, as they are EXTREMEMELY toxic. If you wouldn't drink it or eat it, don't put it in your brew. It's that simple.
Another major issue with homebrew is sanitation. If you don't keep things clean, you can get bacterial infections that are hard to identify or notice that CAN be dangerous. It's very rare though, to be honest. So stay clean, sanitize your stuff, and you'll be fine.
If homebrew was so dangerous, we'd hear a lot more stories about people dying from it. Millions of people around the world make wine, cider, mead and beer at home, yet in the last 10 years or so, I've only heard of a handful of reports of major issues from doing it, and EVERY ONE did something stupid.
Home brewing of wine, cider and mead is safe.

I am living proof that home-brew is no more harm than commercial brews. made my 1st beer at 19 YO and still brewing today at 65
I have lost vision from excessive amounts of home brew, I put my glasses in an odd place! Lmao.
If you had to drink 10 bottles of wine in an hour, alcohol wouldn't be the issue. It's the 2 gallons of water that would be the biggest issue. Hyponatremia will happen in about 5 bottles of wine in 2 hours.
I had a chemistry teacher that would say at least once every semester/quarter, "Anything is toxic/dangerous in the incorrect amounts." Thank you both for addressing these issues and explaining, with wit, reason and facts. Thank you again for the great content.
It's also worth noting that if you consume enough homebrew wine to achieve a toxic dose of methanol, you've also consumed well over the amount of ethanol needed to prevent alcohol dehydrogenase from oxidizing the methanol to formaldehyde and formic acid, so you would still not experience methanol toxicity even if consuming enough methanol, if taken alone, to cause methanol toxicity. Alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme is what causes methanol to exhibit its toxicity via its metabolites, and it preferentially metabolizes ethanol over methanol. This is the reason that hospitals administer ethanol to methanol poisoning victims, so that the methanol can pass through the body unchanged due to displacement by ethanol.
These stories reminded me of my wife’s grandpa during Prohibition. He said they would take foam off the sugar Cain vats, put it in. Wood buckets. Place a rag over the top and let it sit in the corner of the barn for a week or two. They would then go out to the barn and get hammered.
LOL!!! Drinking a cup of TEA can cause blindness if you leave the spoon in the cup!!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
HAHAHAH, you reminded me of my oxidized wine that has less than 5% alcohol, turned brown, smell completely changed and the taste as well. Guess what? so many people liked it and they thought it's a new brand. I shared the 5 gallon with friends and nobody had complained about anything and that's why I like the homebrew mades.
Important note, he snuck a “that’s what she said” joke in here.
I know my family had some concerns when I did my first home brew. But I spent a long time checking things out and it turned out amazing. The stories of things going wrong appear mostly to be people that didn’t research and did really stupid things.
Thank you for an enlightening show!
When you deny people alcohol, they’ll just figure out a way to have/get/brew it anyways! Great vid, let’s do a mango 🥭 habanera mead! 😃🙃
"You can make anything dangerous and you can make anything safe."
Guys, I really want to let you know how MUCH I appreciate you doing this video. There is SO bloody much misinformation, rumor and "Every knows this" that is wrong floating around, it's nice to have some straight forward talk. Too often issues (see the South African couple you mentioned) that get get misreported, improperly reported (ie little to no research into the facts of the story) and just plain BS'd about that it really makes it hard sometimes for the average home brewer to get a solid read on the facts and there wherefor's & whatnot's. I personally do appreciate this and really all of your videos. You never put on airs and are super relatable and will admit if you were mistaken on things. For my $$ that puts you miles ahead of many others.
I absolutely love that I found your channel. I've been wanting to start dabbling in mead making myself. And by far y'all have given me the most honest, truthful, accurate, and genuine information I've ever seen on anyones videos I've ever watched. Thank you soo much
Thank you for making this video; I'm going to direct people to it when they ask from now on. I've been homebrewing for over ten years now and I still occasionally get people who ask these kinds of questions. It's still hard not to get a little offended when they ask, but I find it's important to remember their question comes from a place of ignorance; not mistrust.
Good vid. Very entertaining. As someone who has brewed his own beer for over ten years, I've had an infected batch or three, and you're right; you can't even drink that stuff. And those who would tell you homebrewing is dangerous should also be pointing out that you can set your house on fire just from cooking a pork chop in your kitchen, statistically speaking. Bottom line, as you pointed out, is that good ingredients make good beer, and safe practices make safe beer.
Just wanted to toss you guys a thank you when I saw your video in my feed. I got started about a year ago after watching several of your videos, you answered a couple questions for me and provided the basis of several of my favorite recipes. I just opened up a half-gallon jar of "cheap concord with bread yeast" that's been chillin' in the cupboard for the last nine months because I wasn't a fan of it young, so I kind of forgot I had it, and the girlfriend and I both agreed it was fantastic with a little age. I guess it's time to get some more started.
I’m really digging the small ad snips from y’all in these vids. There great plugs, and pretty smart thinking on Y’all’s part.
Idk how or why RUclips decided to recommend your channel to me (I've never watched any videos on brewing but I do brew). I am very glad to have found your channel. Great information in every video I have seen. This is by far my favorite video so far. I would really like to see some videos on your different diluting and flavoring methods. I am sure there are some I haven't seen yet. Great content, thanks.
