Glad you like it. Unfortunately, the common name for this setup is a "death bucket", because of electric shock. I never experienced this, but to also put it simply my death bucket has kicked the bucket and started leaking in 3 places all on the same day.

Can’t believe I am watching this … amazing after 10years of all grain I am watching a guy make poor choices !!! It’s just brilliant :) thank you KZread ! Btw Jonny if you want save Morgan’s American ale yeast is exactly same strain as us05 and you get 15gms in a packet - it’s $4.50 most homebrew shops ( well it is on sunny coast anyway ) thanks for these they are so random and when I don’t have time for all grain I challenge myself to get the best I can from extract “plus bits”.

Use less bread yeast next time if you do another bread yeast Beer ,I've found it works fast in the first few days and slows off to a steady pace on the last week or so ,and do a yeast starter with some of the wort it will fly in under 15 minutes, but I have found bread yeast likes a hoter fermentation temperature like 26c and above, if you had that bread yeast trying to ferment at 20c in your fridge set-up would be very slow ,or a fair bit of fermentation had already taken place

Sure mate. It's a simple "brew in a bag". My boiler is a fermenter, with a heater element. Be aware, since making the channel, a few people have called this a "death bucket", because of electric shocks, but I haven't experienced this yet. For sparging the grains, thats a oven try from Coles on top of the boiler, and thats a bucket from bunnings with holes drill in bottom, that I put the bag in. the idea was to keep it on top of the boiler without it falling over, so I could sparge

I believe the melting point is 180°c, but can't confirm. It's the cheaper option, but not the best option

I think some of the positives and negatives of the bread yeast may be attributed to how much bread yeast you actually tipped in. For example 1. From eyeballing it looks like you put in probably 3-5x the amount of bread yeast in a SMALLER batch of wort than the SafAle. So you would expect it to have a yeasty-dough flavour early on (I've had a situation where I added too much brewing yeast to a batch and it tasted like dough/Vegemite-esk) so I don't Think the dough flavour is soley attributed to being "bread yeast" and 2. Lots of excess yeast in a smaller batch, of course it will ferment super quick and have higher alc %. The yeast ran out of food lol. Would you run this again but with same size wort and maybe the same weight of yeast in each batch? Would be interesting to see a true comparison. Enjoying the vids! Cheers

@@parrey1985 Actually thinking it through it might be worse than a poor choice - since it's more-or-less the same as just fermenting in an open container. Though that reminded me of something I read about spontaneous fermentation a little while ago - which is essentially a Belgian beer made with wild yeast. They have a different process to what we'd be doing, where the sugars in the wort aren't broken down as much so they'd be unfermentable to the kind of yeast we'd buy for brewing. So the difference in sugars probably protects it from being metabolized into the bad tasting compounds by other nasties that contaminate the brew. I think some of the indigenous styles of liquor production from around the world I've read about probably do the same thing, but they tend to me something more like wine, or be distilled into a spirit. Pity we can't legally do that experiment in Australia.

I have tried that before. It didn't turn out so well. That being said, I don't think my starter was as strong as it should have been, and I only try very experiential batches in a one gallon batch with left over wort from brew day. That way I don' t feel bad about dumping a batch. Next time I will make sure my starter is totally ready. I will totally do it again because I think in the long run you could make a very unique beer. Also I like pushing the boundaries of what we can do as home brewers.

Excellent poor choices, Man! The single temperature infusion brewing method is a very good, poor choice for making ale and lager because the brewing method, chemically and enzymatically, cannot produce the types of beer. The brewing method is used in grain distillation, and produces moonshiners beer. The malt is a poor choice, as well, because Marris Otter is high modified, to over modified, malt, more suitable for making moonshiners beer, than for producing ale. A spec sheet comes with every bag of malt and level of modification and protein content are listed. Malt spec sheets are online from every malthouse, and they provide E Caveat Emptor because there are two types of malt on the market, high modified, high protein, malt, and under modified, low protein, malt, one makes whiskey, and one makes ale. Basically, a brewer uses a malt spec sheet for determining the quality of malt, before purchasing malt. Another, very good, poor choice is following a recipe because the person that wrote the recipe, most likely, has no idea about malt, or about the way ale is produced. Recipes are sales flyers. I have a Poor Choice recommendation. According to Papasian, a poor choice would be to use expensive, under modified, low protein, brewers grade, malt, and the triple decoction method for making ale and lager. Charlie claimed that brewers, back in the day, used the triple decoction method because the malt they used was under modified, and inferior to modern, high modified, malt, and that the brewing method became archaic and antiquated when modern, high modified, malt was invented. Instead of using the brewing method that produces moonshiners beer, and the cheap, malt, that's used in grain distillation, that the huckster recommended, try out brewers grade, malt and the triple decoction method. When you nail it down, which will take years, you'll be hard pressed to drink homebrew style moonshiners beer. A moonshiner dumps in a bunch of bread yeast because it's cheap, and unless buying 50 Kilos, it pretty much goes unnoticed. They soak high modified, malt at 65, 66C because Alpha releases the highest amount of glucose from starch, within one hour at the temperatures. Glucose is responsible for primary fermentation, and ABV. The more glucose, the more alcohol. The high temperature denatures low temperature activated enzymes that produce ale, because they aren't need for making whiskey, and they get in the way. Beta in particular. Pick up a few different bread yeasts. Mix 250ml water at 37 with one teaspoon sugar, add the yeast and wait 10 to 15 minutes. The sample with the highest yeast crop, and that smells like beer would be the yeast to try out. Way before Charlie wrote books, a bunch of advertisers invented CAMRA, and they renamed moonshiners beer, and Prohibition beer, Real Ale, and it worked. STAY PARCHED. STAY TERRIBLY PARCHED.
