How to make Gopnik Beer - Homemade beer making with Boris 

Anything below 20% alcohol is light drink. - A very wise Slav

Glad to see Artyom has been eating his snacks and grown up big and strong like a good slav kat

"How much alcohol does it have inside?" "Nobody knows!" Truly words of someone you can fully trust.

this is the kind of content i need in my life, No clickbait, no funky challenges, just boris doing boris things with soothing nature in the background

I remember seeing Boris’s video of kvas making like 3-4 years ago. I became insanely hooked and started brewing kvas on a regular basis. One thing followed the other and i got into beer brewing all thanks to Boris. I really found a new passion in it, and after a year i bought proffessional equipment, and enlisted to a brewmaster’s course. It has been two years since my first brew, and i just graduated as one of the youngest brewmaster of my country, recived a job offer at my favourite craft brewry, and having plans to open my own micro brewhouse after i finished uni. With all that in mind, and with all respect and gratitude to Boris for setting me on this journey, i have one question in mind: what the actual hell is this fermented gopnik juice?

I once made kvass (with actually black bread) following your video from long ago, and when a friend asked “how much alcohol?”I literally answered like boris “nobody knows” It seems I’ve truly mastered the gopnik way

"special chemistry lesson coming soon" Breaking Blyat

So now it makes much more sense why beer was previously a soft drink...

"The point of Gopnik bear is not to get drunk but to surprise your liver that you are not drinking vodka". My stomach hurt after I stopped laughing. Boris is the best youtuber by far. So original, so dedicsted. Not boring useless content. You are the best Boris.

Artyom looks like he’s having such a lovely time in the countryside.

Countryside Boris is best Boris, fite me xaxa!

Everyone: Learns to make homebrew. Me: AWWW ARTYOM

Belgians: We use ale yeast for the fruity, spicy flavors it can bring. Czechs: We prefer lager yeast and soft water for a crisp, refreshing beer. Russians: BRED

You've trained Artyom very well for supervised outdoor fun. That is the body language of a calm, happy and relaxed kitty who is comfortable wherever Boris takes him.

only boris can make an 8 minute video where 3 minutes are messing around, 4 minutes are playing with his cat and only a minute is spent actually brewing, and yet still make it the most informative video on youtube

"How much alcohol does it have inside? Nobody knows!" is the most Slavic moment ever.

Plot Twist: the "old" gopnik beer is actually beer he made for the tutorial but forgot to record it

The coldest day in my city: -5 The hottest day in babushka house: -15

Everyone: *Talking about the beer* Me: *Gushing at Artyom's beauty and slavness*

Mosquito: I'amThursty Boris: *How about Some water*

It's heart warming to see Boris get along nicely with his dad

That little dance with Artyom was the most wholesome thing I've ever seen

Beer maker: "so, the process takes a loooong time" Boris: "today we make gopnik beer"

I'm actually making this recipe at the moment. Only a week to go, I can't wait to taste the gopnik gold.

I haven't seen anything from Boris in years but I'll never forget when he taught me and my best friend how to make Kvass in our kitchen when we were 16 lol

Remember y’all if you’re gonna try this at home don’t forget to sanitize everything your brew’s gonna come in contact with. Bacteria+fermentation=your day getting fucked up

"But for this we zave hightech tools" *wipes out hammer and a piece of wood like a true gopnik*

a quick finnish lesson on the different names we have for different beverages: kalja or olut = beer kotikalja = "home beer", a slightly alcoholic and sweet beer, apparently similar to kvass kvassi = kvass sahti = unfiltered farmhouse ale sima = traditionally a type of mead, but nowadays it's usually made with sugar instead of honey kilju = sugar wine

This is the most utilitarian beer recipe I have ever seen. Everything you need besides the container can be found at a small grocery store.

We also have a cheaper substitute to kotikalja in finland which is called kilju "which is basically pruno" We use 2 Liters of orange juice, a kilogram of sugar and some turbo yeast and let it settle for a week. It will be around 8-18% alcohol depending on the quality of the mix

When you're learning the secrets of Gopnik beer and Artyom steals the show

Boris hugging Artyom for even the smallest moement was so wholesome, oh my heart

Boris, I've been fascinated by 2 things since my visit to croatia: 1. The slav method of firewood stacking, as evidenced by your babushkas house 2. The Balkan backyard fire stove Any thoughts on these matters?

You have committed the most heinous crime; you silenced Artyom's meow.

As someone who does homebrewing, i will say that having your cat coming by to inspect your progress is a VITAL part of the process

I made the kvas with the Boris recipe. It was gooood! I just started making regular beer recently. I'm going to make a hard kvas soon. It's definitely worth trying.

Question: is inviting anatoli compulsory or optional? And how do i contact him?

“Chemistry lesson coming soon” *Breaking Slav coming soon*

Good to see Artyom again. The wife was asking about him.

1:42 most professional thing I've ever seen

Boris doing that little dance with Artyom at 5:15 is the cutest thing I've ever seen, change my mind

The gopnik king is looking better than ever! I haven’t checked in for awhile, to my everlasting shame, but wow, boris looking fit and fabulous! Artyom looks in good health as well, sweet boi that he is

Artyom and boris having their time together is highlight of my day

This goes against everything I know about brewing beer and it’s awesome.

I tried this method and it is far superior. Thank you Boris

Boris' dedication to drink with his mask on is immensely respectable.

The fact you used well water just.. *Chef kiss*

First Boris Video Ever Watched, Thanks For Makin Life Great Comrade!

Boris playing with Artyom is so wholesome

4:20 Да! Finally is Life of Artyom part 3!

I'm a serious russophile and this is one of my favorite Russian programs. Thanks, I love it.

I have been making my own beer and wine for 40 years . I'm a 4th generation wine maker and it's works the same for wine as it does for beer no fancy sugar or yeast just grab the stuff in the kitchen and make wine . as long as the fruit is clean and the containers are clean as bleach can get them you will make wine. just mash the fruit in a 5 gallon bucket you have cleaned add 50 / 50 water to fruit add yeast and sugar put on a lid and wait after 3 days strain out the fruit put the juice in a large glass jug cap it with a balloon and let it set for up to 2 week or tell it stops bubbling . let it set for a week with a cap on the bottle to settle out any solids then bottle it or drink it it's done. you may need to add sugar if it's to sour it will have consumed all the sugar you put it but it will have turned it all in to alcohol . If you do add sugar wait to see if it starts up again if it does it's still making alcohol and will just get stronger .

brewing beer? since when did you get this fancy kvas is all one needs

The thumbnail. FOAM

it's funny how "vadim's house" is an abstract concept not limited by space XD

I've made beer before and I remember doing the following: 1; Using barley grain, which I boiled 2: Using yeast 3: Adding hops 4: Waiting about a week, before putting into bottles. I've also made cider before and it's way easier. 1: Press apples into juice 2: Wait.

I love how Boris made a community post with this video in a screenshot and then views went up by 100k

"We have high tech tools..." "If it works, fuck it." - Ivan /Kvass4Life

"we use HIGHTECH technology!" **proceeds to hit the container with wood plank and hammer**

I made a promise to myself that I wasn’t ever going to have any alcohol since alcoholism runs in my family and I don’t want to end up where my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents ended up, but this recipe is very tempting

Can't wait to blow up my garage with over pressured beer trying this

The ONE person who gets recognized more in public with a mask on.

I tried this recipe, and it came to about 8% ABV just using baking yeast. Haven't had a chance to try it carbonated yet, but looking forward to it!

I just literally watched the two mead vids less than an hour ago and now this, perfect timing.

Boris playing with Artyom is the most blessed thing I've seen this month

Hey Boris, Thanks for making such fun and educational videos. I really envy your Babushkas house in the country. There's a part of me that want's to leave the sweltering and dry Southern California and buy a piece of the country life in Russia and be left alone. Alot of times things in the west are not what they seem on the surface.

Dad: Doesn't want a pet Family: *Gets a pet* Dad and the Pet: 5:16

Hey, Boris, I am now getting your videos suggested to me on RU-vid again, and I am so happy to see you still making these, great job, love your videos, they make me laugh, smile, and puts me in a good mood after a long slow day, thank you for continuing to put so many smiles on our faces over the years.

I love how the drunk mosquito gets flushed away, after getting alcohol from Boris. Never underestimate Gopnik blood XD . Only Russian mosquitos can handle Russian blood ;).

“Special chemistry lesson coming soon”, ah yes, methé

If anyone is curious about how to measure the amount of alcohol in the beer you'll need a hydrometer and preferably a measuring tube. After mixing the sugar and malt together take some and pour it into the tube then take your hydrometer and place it in as well. Makes sure to spin the meter to remove any bubbles or other things that could throw it off. Wait for a little and once it stops bobbing write down the number at which it stopped. The number you will write down will be on the hydrometer, not the tube. Pour what's in the tube back into the pot or drink it I don't really care. Wait until the beer has fermented and then pour some of that delicious nectar of the gods into the measuring tube again and then also the hydrometer. Write down where it stops bobbing. Now subtract the first number you wrote down from the second one. Whatever you get for the answer multiple it by 131.25 and then the number from that is your alcohol percentage. Also, don't forget to convert it over to percentage.

Why am I jealous of Artyom? One lucky boy there.

Who else Immediately presses the like button as soonest a new boris video comes out before even seeing it? You know it'll be good because it came from the slav king himself ❤️

New uamee song and Boris video? Today is an amazing day!

This almost reminds me of the time Red Green made beer. Only his attempt was a lot less successful. And he only waited for what "felt like 2 weeks". Too bad this recipe didn't make it up to Possum Lodge in Canada in time for the '91 season.

Boris playing with that cat gives me life. Happy last day of June, Boris and Co! I hope your July is full of good things.

I hope this vid gets the statistics it deserves from this precious amount of work. Keep going on Boris, I love watching your content :)

I hope you never change the intro. The music and dancing bear brings great joy to my life.

Good timing! We've moved to level 4 lockdown. No alcohol sales. Viva, Boris!

Ah, it's good to see Comrade Artyom after a while.

Why are Boris’s views staggering? He deserves way more tbh

Here comes the classic: Two gopniks, one keg.

Boris is perfectly within reason to call that "kotikalja". It IS pretty much kvass. I use kotikalja malt extract all the time to make roughly 12% beer just like this. Sugar, yeast, malt extract. Good stuff

Boris is one of the nicest people

"Do not drink when you drive, and is all fine!" This is gold! Keep up the good work.

thank you for teaching us so many important stuff boris, and as a polish person i will make sure that one day kielecki will sponsor you

I bless the higher power for bringing this video to my feed. I have found my new favorite channel.

I started the video thinking, "It's a shame I'm allergic to hops and can't drink beer" and ended it cheering that I can make this one day!

So happy to see Artyom! Also, I'm slightly jelly of the big sauna in the backyard! It seems almost ready to use. Have a good summer too Boris, and Anatoli, and Artyom

7:45 Boris: Do not drink when you drive Also Boris in My Summer Car: Beer? yes

I never thought I’d hear the sounds of the steel pan in a Boris video. Brilliant , love from Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹🇹🇹

My mead’s still fermenting but I can feel the slavness radiating off of it like the brewhouses of Chernobyl

I’ve been home brewing for 20 years. This is how I started, lol.

As a Belgian, I found the "Belgian ale gourmet shit" hilarious :D

Title: Beer Thumbnail: Cheese Boris can only make cheese when he is not pretending to make cheese.

These videos heal my deppresion

What was that? You’re in the shower? No. Get out. Boris has a new video.

Boris and Artyom in countryside. Western spy: They Run away from Vadim.

My family (me included) drink beer every evening, so this tutorial will be useful

Me staying depressed in COMMIE BLOCK, first uamee uploads a song, now SLAV KING shows us how to brew beer! A nice day!
