Good Job , Mate! I have been brewing off and on for 50 years, I ecently moved into pressure brewing . But I think you have a unique brewing style. I will give it a go! All the best from Wagga Wagga, NSW. Australia. Ron
Joe, I can't thank you enough! I was just about to drop $2400 on a whole grain system. Thankfully I stumbled upon your video and realize now that I don't need all that expensive equiptment. I look forward to watching more of your stuff!
Thank you Joe for showing me that it is possible to brew beer on a larger scale and don't need the expensive equipment to do it. I enjoyed both beer videos and hope you continue to make more. I like your laid back style and your commentary along the way. Don't change!! Look forward to more beer making videos in the future. Thanks Joe.
I haven't made beer for a decade. I needed some refreshing plus wanted to see how someone else brews. This was an excellent education on how to brew on a shoestring budget. Plus in the past the several brews I did were using malt extracts. In the end I had some fun and drank some nice brew I actually made...but, it wasn't cheap and actually cost about the same excluding the labor and time. This is why after going through several cycles the novelty wore off and I went back to purchasing my brew again. With this method you can actually make what promises to be premium craft beer at less than half the cost not counting the equipment. The equipment here probably cost between $100 and $150 so if you commit to being a semi-regular brewer you'll make back that cost in around your first 3 to 5 batches. After that you are saving money and drinking the beer you tweaked to personal preferences not to mention being able to also concoct specialty editions. Anyone like myself who has interest in this should watch Joe's two videos as I doubt you can make quality brew cheaper or streamline the process to be more simple (unless you do extracts which will defeat most of the cost savings). Excellent tutorial with some homespun humorous comments. Very educational and entertaining overall! Truly excellent.
Thanks for the good words man! I'm not a pro beer brewer. I just wanted to save some people money on getting into brewing to not make it so intimidating for someone tying to get into brewing. For me it was hard to start because everyone made it sound so complicated.
Really appreciate these two videos. I just got hired as an assistant brewer at my local brewery and after a few days of working there I feel I need to start brewing at home. I just bought a house and don't have a lot of play money in my budget. Maybe in a year or two I wont have to blink at spending 2k on a nice setup but until then, I'm going to use this method.
Excellent 2x beer brewing on the budget.... most entertaining project research excuse I’ve used... beautifully presented and artistically portrayed artisan in love with his creation.
Hey Joe, great video on beer making, and i love the heavy breathing effect, you sound like what we call in England "a piss head" which translated is "a man who loves beer too much" thanks and keep up the good work.
great video Joe, I've always wanted to make beer, now that I have the info I needed from your video's I'm going to give it a try, thanks for taking the time to do this, it may not be appreciated by all, but I for one appreciate it.
I love how your videos contradict every other how-to video I watched on brewing. But the end result looks great, I'm pretty sure the beer is pretty weak since you didn't let it sit and ferment as long as you should but I bet it tastes great and enjoyable. This makes me want to finally try my hand in brewing. I hope you make a video showing us the ABV in the beer you brew some day.
Great video I watched both of them and I'm going to have to tell you you made this look so easy and cheap did I say cheap I'm definitely going to try this this is within my budget thanks for the video
I loved this video. Very cool. Tonight I've watched a "How to make mead" video ( it's an alcoholic viking drink made with honey ) and now your how to make beer. I should be able to get a good batch sorted before Christmas this year. Thanks man.
@@DirtyolJoe the audio was fine. I enjoyed the videos. They made the idea of making beer easier than I thought. I've never been brave enough to try before . But I think I'll give it a try .
Hi buddy awesome video and istruction in here. Otherwise, in many places you lost me with a lil much of talking, saying this without the intension of being mean or rude. If those area are corrected then i would give a 150/100
It would explode. It is too much at the time of fermentation . You put a little sugar in your beer at the time of bottle to use up the rest of the yeast for carbonation.
@@DirtyolJoe can we prove this on film? I have a theory it would just "force carbonate"...do you have first hand knowledge? ..lets do a video....day 3, pour into a real "keg' ...set a "pressure guage with a cam on it ....I think the first episode of "BEER MYTH BUSTERS" is born...my $.02
@@DirtyolJoe you using a chest mounted camera or head mounted? You can prob move the mic away a bit if possible. I sometimes cover my mics with a thin foam strip
It's probably around 8% . Most yeast only last that long . With some restart yeast or just another type of yeast you can get a little more but it's not worth it really
pretty impressive you got 8% out of that! Your approach, a dash of this, a couple of sprinkles of that, I don't think you even once took a gravity reading on it! lol... Very cool videos, and now I know how to keg up my stuff! Cheers brother!@@DirtyolJoe
