Did I just make cask ale at home?! | The Craft Beer Channel
Join Jonny in the second part of his attempt to brew his favourite Best Bitter and serve it through a sparkler at home! In last week's video we brewed the homebrew best recipe, this week we tackle the secondary fermentation and set-up of a traditional handpull! Can he recreate that fresh pint in a pub feeling - and what do a select group of friends think of it?
Want to try this at home? We got our handpump from Ebay (RLBS), our Bag in Boxes from gtonlineshop.com, our homebrew supplies from maltmiller.co.uk and our hops from hukinshops.co.uk!
Huge thanks to our friends who tasted the beers. Give them a follow @richardsoames @clairembullen @capstapsNW1

    Who wants to try this at home?! Malt Miller (where Jonny got the ingredients) now has a homebrew kit inspired by our journey! So if you want to brew your own version, pick it up here: www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/five-points-best-best-bitter/

    Thanks for watching! America has an incredible beer scene but the lack of real ale is a shame - still some great breweries doing it over there though.

    I miss pubs soooo badly. This has brought a smile to my publess existence. Now I need to think about brewing my own. I think that's objectives achieved for this vid.
