That setup down there is ideal! Cleaning is a huge part of being a good brewer - at home or otherwise.

I feel like this video was just for me after i asked several episodes ago for a clean up video - i really appreciate you showing the truth behind cleanup although i never thought i'd be jealous of someones catering sink! Cheers from Newquay .... no not where brown ale is from.

Ahh homebrewing and cleaning. That's one thing other brewers never warn you about - lots of brewing = lots of cleaning :)

Thank you Martin I will always like your videos!!! very informative and very clear to listen to

Thank you very much for your videos. Really enjoying them every time!

Hi Martin, I like to "clean as you go" also. I really enjoy making and drinking British brown ales. Excellent video. Thanks!

I clean and SANITIZE the bejesus out of everything. Zero issues over many, many brew events.

Thanks for the videos, great stuff. Can't wait for the sour type beers

Your videos about brewing are just great. Brown ale - one of by favorite style, not possible to buy in my country (south east Poland). Once I did this style I was pleased with the result. I made it wiht other malt proportion: pale ale 84,5%, brown malt 10%, crystal 5,5 %. I did not add wheat, but I suppose it would be good.

Newky brown is lovely. Toasty but also some raisiny/fig notes from the yeast. I'm watching this while brewing a golden ale. Using Archer hops for the first time.

One small complaint about the clawhammer system. The element has the cable attached. I have a couple other elements that have a twist lock connection. It is nice to be able to rinse the kettle with the element in and no cord hanging off. One other thing PBW is most effective at 150f. Nice video Martin! 👍🍻

Great video, I have bounced back and forth from circulating a large volume of pbw through my system and using a mark II. I am looking into installing a sink in my basement for cleanup. What sink do you have in your setup?

Mo for me is fresh peanut, bready with a beautiful orange color if you use 100%

Great videos! You have changed the brew system again are you just testing different types or did you buy another system?

hello,. wonderfull challange you have took up !! yummy ,.. why is your last video private video no.41 ?

Forgot to say - why not collect hot water from the chiller to use in the cleaning. Saves water and energy reheating tap water - especially over 100 brews!

Hi. Looks good, but can you tell me where you got Fawcetts Crystal 45 malt? I've looked Fawcetts website and it's not listed

Just wondering what your carbonation schedule is like once you finish fermentation and rack into the keg. Having trouble with my first kegging. Thanks Martin! Or anyone else willing to help lol!

Even though this video is around three years old, I’m hoping you can answer question. I’m looking into brewing a clone of Watney’s Red Barrel Ale. I found a recipe online and it seems pretty simple. I know that beer has not been available since the 1970’s. What BJCP category would that fall under? British Brown Ale 13B?

For our beginners, how many grams of hops did you use and how much beer you make dis time?

If you have the spray valve at the top, why not just use enough PBW solution to allow recirculation instead of a full 10 gallons? Greetings from Yorkshire btw

Have you ever tried OxiClean Free in place of PBW? I have had about as good results as with PBW for a lot less money. (Some people add a 2/1 mix of Oxiclean to TSP/90 but i haven't found that necessary)

I feel like pounds/kgs is easier than the percentage, because the percentage method is hard for the hops. We can easily do the measurements by simple maths from pounds/gallons

Coffee goes great with brown beers, just added a bit to my mild to round it up, and all the notes make more sense now, I used an espresso roast but it's a quite acidic, fruity and nutty origin, I guess the key is there, going too dark with the coffee will make it to stouty

I noticed that you don’t sparge after mashing - any particular reason? Would you not be able to improve mash efficiency? Great series of videos, really enjoying it - my ability to convert to °C in my head is improving with every episode 🤪

James Carnahan clawhammer is a BIAB non-sparge system. Basically use all of the water at once instead of sparging. You would do a mash out to get your best efficiency, but BIAB systems do run a little lower on average in exchange for ease and convenience.
