I wish I'd found this video when I was starting home brewing. This may be be THE best video on how to get started.

This is the fifth time I watch this video and always serves me as an inspiration ! Congratulations James and Stevie.

Got inspired by this and did a 5 gallon extract brew in 80 minutes (including dishes). I even used reused yeast for the first time so we'll se how that turns out. Thans alot for you inspirational videos! Cheers from Norway

This is how I brewed the first beer that I was happy with (after some ok but not much good kit beers). However, I made it metric! 500g extract, and 3 litres water (mosaic hops). The reason why I still brew today. Thanks for your work guys, so helpful!

Great video! I use a very similar technique when I'm trialing new hops. By using a second pot you can start a second batch while the first is chilling. I can bang out 6-8 batches in the time it would take for a normal all-grain brewday. I like how you use even amounts (1lb of DME and 1oz of hops) to cut out the measuring step.

Ok, thank you. I truly enjoy watching your show with you and Steve,, thank you for all the information that you show us.

Insightful, and funny as always. I brewed my first mini-mash today. A smoked porter. Once the 1 hour boil started, I watched your past vids. Always with a chuckle. Ty gentlemen for what you do. :)

I just bottled two versions of this recipe. I did one with Simcoe and the other with Mosaic in an effort to test my pallet. I tasted each prior to bottling and they are both solid so far. I can't wait for these beers to carbonate. This is the type of recipe/video that new/potential brewers need to watch. It doesn't get much more simple than this. Great job!

Great episode, thanks for posting!! I definitely feel inspired to try this out in the near future!

Always get a kick out of watching you guys, nice work. I may try this with a 2 gallon batch some day when I am bored and have left over ingredients. Cheers.

Good process and good episode! This has been the funniest episode I've seen. And I think I've seen them all :)

Appreciate the small batch recipes, as a beginner in a small apartment, 1 gallon batches are perfect

Love this video. I've been doing 5 gallons exclusively since I started 6 months ago and have found that I have boxes and boxes of beers. Going to downsize to small batch so I can do MORE types of beers and experiments and not turn my spare bedroom into an alcoholics wet dream, not to mention my gf cannot be impressed by heaps and heaps of boxes of beers.

Great episode... that's all I have done so far is 1 gallon batches.. tomorrow is my first big batch! Cheers!

You guys are great!!

Great episode!

I love your sense of humour! If you ever reach Norway , lets brew a batch! (times a wastin;))

I m currently using that tecnique to produce 54 gallon. I mix it with multi-batch brewing like the one you would use to produce a high gravity beer. That also reduces the amount of yeast needed, as you use the first batch as a starter.

You guys have too much fun. I have to try this too!

Great video guys, we'll definitely try this!!

Funny, I’m watching this while the Winter Olympics are on !

Love this video! I wonder if you might do a "Keggle Conversion" video sometime? The vids I have found the net are of either low quality, or extremely lengthy long winded.

I've given this method a go, but i used Cascade as my hop addition. I'm glad that i stumbled onto this video.

I really liked this episode! This is a cool way to spend an hour in between things in the kitchen. You could shave off a few minutes by putting the dishes in the dishwasher. ;o)

Hmm, I'm one of those guys who'd make that time v batch size argument buy then, I'm also often unable to find the time to get my 10gal batches in so I think I may very well try this real soon. I noticed there isn't a recipe in the description?

Hey guys, excellent episode! I'm learning a lot from you both. I followed your recipe and added 1 ounce of hops to the 3 quarts of water + light DME yesterday night. My LHBS did not have Simcoe or Mozaic, but I did pick up some Falconer's Flight, which is apparently comparable (i'm a clueless noob) and used 25g instead of the 28 you added in. Prior to pouring the wort in the fermentor, i had myself a taste and BAM! bitterness galore! Does it mellow out over time? or is the intention to make it that bitter? Cheers & thanks for educating me :)

If I were to add a full gallon instead of 3qts how much would that change the alcohol %?

I lost it at: "Coming mother!"

So can I use a whole 6g packet of yeast on this or will that be too much, I think it's a coopers yeast as I've got no us-05 handy. Cheers

@basicbrewing

You could use the whole pack, since this is not a beer that features hop character. Or, you could use about half and save the rest for another small batch. Be sure to seal the remainder tightly in a ziplock bag.

James, how much yeast do you use for small batches 2-3 gallons.

@basicbrewing

4 жыл бұрын

If I'm only brewing one small batch on the day, I'll use an entire packet of dry yeast. If multiple batches, I'll split it. For example, when I brew three one-gallon batches for our Hop Sampler series, I'll use 3 grams in each batch. - James

Good job, Steve! Especially considering you had "Happy Gilmore" back there heckling you! ;-)

You could make this batch even speedier by using a soda stream machine to force carbonate your beer a week early! It takes just a little finesse, but I do it all the time, ( when I get impatient)

How can the yeast be oxygenated if you are shaking the carboy with your hand over the top? Do you think that void space provides enough volume to dissolve much oxygen?

Bottle conditioning with added sugar is fermentation in the bottle. So, the beer should be kept at room temp for a couple of weeks to allow the yeast to eat the sugar. You can chill and test on at a week's time. - James

Wow! I could brew 5 or 6 different beers in the time it takes me to brew one 5gal all grain batch of 1 style of beer.

I wonder why you would not keep the lid off when cooling it down, unless you think something would fall in? It should cool off a bit faster. Everyone does each homebrewing step a little differently. :) Could you somehow incorporate specialty grains if you wanted to make something with more flavor/color complexity? I suppose as you are heating the water up and before you add the extract, you could steep some grains without adding time or much work. It's a cool idea, and kudos to you for sharing it.

I'm paranoid about contamination. Probably would cool faster if the steam escaped, but ten minutes is pretty quick. I usually do steep specialty grains with extract, but the emphasis was on hops this time (and speed). Steeping for just a few minutes can add some flavor and color. -James

I don't think you would in that situation either, esp since the time of it getting chilled and then having the yeast added is so short. But by the same token, like you said, it's pretty quick anyway.

Ya but that's instant brew I think people who complain about the time issue are talking about all grain. I brewed a five gallon instant batch in a little over an hour. Sorry guys I don't think you addressed the issue it's still takes just as long to brew a one gallon batch of all grain as it does a five gallon batch. It takes just as long to brew a one gallon extract batch as it does a five gallon batch for the most part. Good try though

I bet you could shave a good amount of time from this by using a better burner.
