This is an amatures look at home brewing.
A home brewing channel that is down to earth and basic. Recorded and edited by the founder Pierre Verhulsdonk this is a brew channel that gives you a basic understanding of home brewing beer and experimental brews.
Just one guy learning how to brew the hard way using the Apollo, Titan and Grainfather and a Digiboil to make some very nice brews indeed.

Great video mate
Did show how to change and set a preferred temperature..
Hello Pierre, I would like to know where did you order your bag from ?
If you are referring to the fermenter bag. I bought that from Keg king, it's quite cheap and protects the must from light.
@@SimpleHomeBrew Thank you.
Is it really $30 for the ingredients to make 4Litres? Im def not the target market lol
No, it's $17.99 plus shipping. It comes fro the states and is around $20 freight. if you buy in bulk you get better deals. Ihave it to make experimentak beers so I can create a recipe without using too many ingredients.
@@SimpleHomeBrew $18 USD? As it's American website? Dollar crashing this week. So even more expensive! Love the detailed video of it anyways.
@@Rikkus81 your so right, I have australia as my dollar setting but the system still says USD. I don't recommend you buy this unit if you are Australian unless something big happens. I am just lucky to get for free and am going to experiment with it. Cheers
@@SimpleHomeBrew keep up the good work
Great job and I covered a lot! Pierre, you are the 2nd person to mention 37 psi! I've not been able to get any of mine to go much over 24 psi during fermentation, and during cold crashing, it stays right around 12 psi. I'm wondering if there was a batch of kegs with a PRV issue. I've asked once and may ask again soon if they will offer a replacement PRV that sits around the 13 to 15 psi, as I know there are a couple out there at that psi, but they are not adapted for the iGulu. They REALLY need to over a PRV at those lower numbers to help, as it would fix an issue with the high psi during fermentation and avoid over-carbonating issues. My Amber turned out nice but it was a tad on the sweeter side too.
Looks like beerdroid kinda
interesting device. For the beer drinker that wants his own beer without the fuss of brewing it. What do you think, will you use it instead of extract brews?
No, not at all. I will however, make small beers as experiments for new recipes.
Where are the taste test videos?
@kevintennant4461 I didn't do one for this as it turned out terrible, these are all older videos I did a long time ago, now days I include them. All you need to do is type in the name of the beer and tasting. Hope this helps.
Thanks, I will be trying this. 👍🏼
Hope you enjoy
What did it taste like

Looking forward to your all grain video mate
You got all the good goodies there mate , great taste
I try
You got all the good hops mate
Great video mate . I do distilling for a good couple years now You should go to Bunnings and the got oak smoking chips 2kg bag witch is good for spirits. It's a white American oak , you can also charr them a bit. After that you can use it in your smoker
great stuff Pierre your doing great in Dry july closest i came to dry july was having a carlton Dry haha
Olive oil on the silicone ring works wonders for fitting it in the mash tube. Drop the bottom screen, with the silicone ring, down the centre of the malt pipe at 90° to the malt pipe. As it reaches the bottom, put the ring against the seam of the malt pipe. For the last couple of centimetres, work the screen and the silicone ring around the malt pipe circumference, bit by bit. Making sure the silicone ring does not "fold" off the screen. You need to be gentle. With care, I get it to fit every single time.
How much DME and which type do you add? I am guessing DME can be added to any Cooper type kit. Love your videos.✊🏾✊🏾 cheers
@@angelvazquez4457 hi, I normally use 1kg for extracts. That's it!
@SimpleHomeBrew ok I figured that but wasn't sure. Thank you mate. Keep up the great work.
Nice brewday! I have dropped the top plate altogether. Its just such a hazzle and you cant stir during the mash. Grainfather is far from a perfect system 😬🍺
great video cheers
Thanks for the edit. I'm moving into all grain soon and look forward to trying this one out
I just brewed this last night! Can’t wait to see what you did differently (or better!).
great stuff mate just funded your cause for dry july keep up the good work
@@michaeleade4149 thank you.
Awesome video thanks!
@@maggie35176 trying to make the vlogs interesting. Thanks for watching.
well done Pierre i would of had a alcohol beer by now
Thanks, sometimes I struggle.
Thanks for sharing mate
Well done bud doing well
@@davew2072 I tell you, it's been difficult today! Sometimes you need a way to wind down after a crappy day and today was crazy. Cheers
@SimpleHomeBrew yeh I hear ya .
keep up the great work Pierre. We out there who know first hand about this curse really appreciate your efforts !!
Doing a dry July as well, I know the pain lol. I find the NA stuff just makes me want a real beer even more. Keep up the good work, love the vids. 👍🏻
Great job on the videos. Really enjoying watching these everyday. How about a quick brewing equipment tour? Or brew shed tour for a video? Keep up the good work 🎉
Great Idea, i will do that in one of my future videos. Cheers
Nice and clear mate , looks good
Steady there son😅
Just a bit of fun😂
@@SimpleHomeBrew loved it cheers mate lol.
That last part was really unexpected 😅
Just found out a Lions Club International friend (from Wisconsin) who was visiting in Sydney passed out in the airport and is now in the hospital awaiting surgery on his intestine due to cancer. Great idea and cause! I wholey support your cause as it's what I do as a member of Lions Clubs International. Roar!
Went to donate and the site said I’m blocked. No idea as to why. That aside, good on ya for the volunteer work, Pierre.
Same for me as well on being blocked.
I checked the link, it's good. Try using the QR code! Or just go to the Dry July website and look up Simple Home Brew. Sorry about that it may be that you have an ad blocker that blocks it for some reason.
@@SimpleHomeBrew cleared my cache and tried again. No luck.
@@RabbiJesus is the website blocked?
@@SimpleHomeBrew i can connect to your link, but when I click the donate button it gives some blocked page. It’s probably because I’m on a phone.
While doing dry July, can you do some videos for us newbys to homebrew, what you have tried. What works and what doesn't. Like is RO water worth it? Water chemistry. Your favourite fermenter.
@@AndrewBeer-v8x sounds good, are you thinking in my Dry July videos?
Yes, would be good to get your personal thoughts on brewing gear.
@@AndrewBeer-v8x I will give it a go.
my favorite non alcoholic beer is Clausthaler Premium made in Germany. It's a tasty lager. Cheers 🍻 😀
the coopers and great northern non alcohol beers are good to. don't worry about the people unsubscribing I will still Watch it
you are such a champ Pierre
G’day Pierre, good vid mate. Just one thing if I may comment is that when you were transferring your cracked grains from the bag into the mash pipe there was a lot of fine grain dust blowing up past your face and into the surrounding areas of your brewery. First up it is not good for you to be breathing that dust and the second thing is that many overlook and that is that the dust can settle on other brewing equipment and surfaces and can be a major cause of an infection if the dust comes in contact with anything used during fermentation. I crush my grain and add it outside then wheel the mash tun/kettle inside for the brew. Or quite often I just mash and boil outside the brew house. This is not a criticism mate, just a bit of advice..keep up the good work.
@@geoffdickinson1310 great advice, I will have considered this for a time and am very much taking a lot more care these days.
just have some non alcohol beers there is few nice ones
That's a good drop Pierre
About to brew this one mate, can't wait now.
@@AngaryGranny you will love it, one of my favourites.
