I haven't made my own beer exclusively for the last 12 years and I like the very strong dark German type and after a make it I do refrigerate it for a week but before I drink it or like to let it sit out on the counter and warm up a bit because I like to drink it closer to room temperature about 72 degrees or a couple degrees colder I don't like it right out of the refrigerator and just seems to taste better when it starts to warm up a little bit I am very happy with the process and everything they say is spot-on the most important thing is to make sure everything is very sanitized because if you don't you'll get what's known as bitter beer and it will make you sick

Mike, if you like your beer at cellar temp, high 60’s to low 70’s, try less carbonation on your next batch. I lived in England for several years and loved the cellar temp ales. What I noticed is they also didn’t have as high a carbonation as American beers. When I brew an ale for cellar temp drinking I use less carbonation and prefer it.

Beautifully and simply explained

This video is so helpful. Many thanks! I'll be sure to purchase your products so that I can, at lease, give back something to you guys.

@@gilbertbaez9474 My startup cost was around 330 dollars for everything I need plus having two batches going at the same time. Each batch will yield 48 bottles of beer. (4) 24 packs of beer. This price can be as low as $25 for 48 bottles of beer or could be much higher depending on what kind of beer you wish to brew. Of course, I'm buying kits at the moment. A little over 50 cents per beer. Costs could be cut further if you move to all grain and doing the malting process yourself. Though this upgrade is a substantial investment. Must also look at what type of beer you produce. I'm making craft Ales. A lot more that 50 cents a beer if you can find it at a store or a craft brewery that has a bar. Currently the cheapest crap I can think of (Busch Light) is 75 cents a can. Though comparing the watered-down bland beers many Americans drink with a good craft brew could be considered a sin...it is noteworthy. If you like and don't mind cheap beer, then you could probably just continue to buy it and it wouldn't be much different in cost. If you like good craft beer, interested in learning and drinking your own beer for a substantial discount, then it's totally worth it.

Many people do all sorts of things to water, but in the end if it tastes good it should make good beer. Can you go bonkers with all sorts of water chemistry and additions, sure. Will it make better beer, probably? But personally I don't do anything to my water, except sometimes in the summer Saint Paul water can get a slight chlorine-y taste to it. I just collect my brew water a day early in a clean bucket and hit it a Campdem tablet to clean that up.

No more Budweiser for me. Well for have not had beer for a while. Gonna get me some now!

A friend sent me this video who is interested in starting to brew. I have to say, this is a pretty decent video for beginners!

that's excellent

durring the fermentation or bottle storage time you mentioned it being in a room temp of 68 degrees. Will there be a negative effect if it were stored at 76 degrees? I dont have the ability to store it at 68 degrees

What do you call a product to make the beer foam whiter?

Hi I have been brewing at home for almost 8 months.. fermentation would usually last 17 - 19 days.. remember in desert our summer is pretty harsh with temperature touching 50 degrees celsius... But today on December 14, it was 9 degrees c and 2 c was night temperature last night.. this morning although it's the tenth day and I noticed that fermentation is almost over... Would this be due to colder temperature that fermentation has stopped quicker almost half time then summer? Or, previously I always brewed 10 liters and added 10 grams of yeast sachet while this time it is 20 liters and still the same amount of yeast (10 g pack) would the more amount be the reason for fermentation to stop earlier?

Great video

"Croison is good." My #1 takeaway

Now, if you are putting it into a sanke keg instead of bottles, is the priming solution the same?

XLNT presentation.

Is the sanitizing solution OK to mix with the beer? Seems a bit nasty to drink that.

@NorthernBrewerTV what is the final alcohol content of this brew?

If your Brew Kettle is just a stainless steel type pot can you just dump the Wort from the stainless steel into your fermenter or is it better to use an auto siphon from your from your stainless steel Brew Kettle to bring the beer into the fermenter

What is the solution for airlock stopper coming off the carboy when inserted to ferment? Both carboy and airlock stopper have to be sanitized so obviously they are both wet. Do you dry them off and how? Or you use something else to hold the stopper down?

When you were doing the sanitation in the fermenter you didn't rinse out the sanitatizer is this ok?

Can you please also make a vedio on carbonation, that's where the problem arise of TPO if not done effectively

I used the whole bag of sugar for bottling and mixed it but create too much carbonation. is there a calculator for how much to use depending on the beer type? i wish the recipe would tell you how much too use.

I have a stupid question. after cooling the wort, you go to all of that trouble to maintain sanitary conditions, but then you top off your fermenter with tap water? isn't that a potential source of pathogens? or is it sanitary enough that it can be assumed to be safe to add right in? I have been doing full volume boils, but if I get a bigger fermenter I would like to do reduced volume boils with top offs. I just don't want to risk a batch using filtered tap water if it isn't really sanitary. Thanks in advance.

You can totally used bottles from breweries and other sources. Be sure to give them a good soak in PBW (which will clean and also help remove labels in most cases), rinse and then sanitize them with StarSan before use. Also, use pry-off style bottles, not twist caps. Capping on top of a twist-off bottle is not recommended as it might not hold carbonation.

Chat GPT gave me a recipe for a stout with a lasting creamy head if anyone wants to try it. Sure, here is a recipe for a home brew stout with a creamy lasting head: Ingredients: 6 lbs Dark Dry Malt Extract 1 lb Roasted Barley 1 lb Crystal Malt (80L) 1 lb Flaked Barley 1 oz Chinook hops 1 oz Willamette hops 1 package Irish Ale yeast 3/4 cup Priming Sugar Instructions: Steep the Roasted Barley and Crystal Malt in 2 gallons of water at a temperature of 155°F for 30 minutes. Remove the grains and add the Dark Dry Malt Extract and Flaked Barley to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the Chinook hops and boil for 60 minutes. Add the Willamette hops and boil for another 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and cool the wort to 70°F. Transfer the wort to a sanitized fermenting vessel and pitch the Irish Ale yeast. Ferment the beer for 2 weeks at a temperature of 65°F. Transfer the beer to a bottling bucket and add the priming sugar. Bottle the beer and let it condition for 2-3 weeks at room temperature. Chill the beer in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. To achieve a creamy, lasting head, make sure to pour the beer slowly and steadily into a clean, dry glass, leaving about an inch of headspace at the top. The head will be more likely to stick around if the glass is clean and free of any oils or residues.
