Hi thx for watching. I believe blue means slightly below the marked temperature. Hope This helps

Hi thx for your comment and you are right but as we are talking about kit brewing and I doubt many ppl will ask there water company for a detailed water report its always best to treat the water as I'm sure ur aware. Thx again and stay safe

Thx for ur comment m8 . It's always advisable to treat ur water before u add it to ur brew m8 but u can try it I doubt it'll ruin ur brew .and only add half a tablet to 23l m8 . Hope this helps n good luck 👍

And dissolve campden in warm water not hot or boiling

@@40pints52 Thank you. I think I figured out a way, I'll treat the 20L of tap water in the fermenting bucket, then decant that into sanitised 5L water bottles. Start my brew in the fermenter, then add back in the treated water.

Sounds a plan m8 . Just pick up a new fermentor bucket in the future, they're pretty cheap but you've found a work around. Good man . Happy brewing 😉

That's the joy of homebrewing experimentation 😄 Never tried either but every recipe is down to the individual and taste is ours alone lol . Try em u won't mess up 😉

@@40pints52 i haven't really gone wrong yet mate lol but really want to take a chance on a different creation.

Good man , go with ur gut it won't let u down. I tinker and always comes good 👍

Thx for your comment m8 . This used to be my favourite tipple but fortunately I found dark rock brewing and in my opinion they make the best kits out there . They even do part grain and all grain alternatives of alot of popular brands like Gunness,old peculiar and loads more . Yh always better using malt instead of sugar. Thx for watching and enjoy ur next brew 😄 stay safe m8

It tells you how to install it on your fermentor not a fish tank as my channel is for brewing. It will tell you how to read it tho .sorry it didn't help u

Thx m8 glad it helped you and also really appreciate your kind comment. Yh its not a bad drop but if your having trouble clearing it I advise to cold crash it in a homemade fermentation chamber made out of a fridge or freezer. Also don't be greedy when it comes to bottling. Always leave a bit at the bottom and try not to agitate the trub. Try dark rock kits from dark rock brewing. Easily the best kits on the market. They taste lush 😋. Thx again and stay safe m8 happy Xmas too

Thx for your comment. I'm afraid I have no idea but my guess blue cold brown warmer

Thx for watching and your comment. You do pose a very good question and my guess is cost .the cheaper kits usually come with 1.7kg hopped extract but do require extra fermentables to achieve the desired abv . I also reckon it to be because everyone will want to use a different fermentable . The premium kits will include 3kg hopped extract and these require no extra fermentables just dextrose for priming. My advice never use brewing sugar alone. It will give u a thinner beer plus increase your chances of getting homebrew twang. Always use lme or dme . If you live in England check out dark rock brewing company. They do there own kits as well as the usual coopers etc but there own kits are superb and I highly recommend them . They even do part grain kits which I advise ppl to do and even all grain kits but you'll need to spend a bit more money on equipment for them . You can brew kits without extra fermentables but you will get a very low alcohol beer . Happy brewing and stay safe m8 :)

@@40pints52 cheers for that, I used 500g of dme in my last brew along with the brewing sugar and it's perfectly drinkable but has that slight twang, I'll use bottled water next time and possibly treat it with pure brew plus avoid dextrose and go with lme.

Sounds a plan m8 . Basically you made your own beer enhancer 😁 . Lme is good but you may find your beer being a tad sweet but you may like it . Dme also has the advantages of being able to store longer. Dark Rock do supply there own beer enhancers with there kits but there kits include a lot of hops so I guess that can mask the twang but ive never even tasted a hint of twang from them . I ise pure brew but only because they supply it with there kits . Its obviously cheaper to use tap water n treated with campden tablets. I mainly do extract brews now and the occasional kits .wanna do all grain but they do take alot longer and there's only so many hrs in the day lol . Just enjoying a West Coast apa atm . Very nice 😉

@@40pints52 well the dme i added was muntons hopped light plus i chucked in 50g of cascade pellets and 50g of mosaic, I've tried about 3 bottles now over last 3 weeks and it's clear and tasting better every time. As i said, just a slight twang, I'm happy doing extract kits for the moment but considering biab for the future, i don't have the space for tons of equipment so will try to keep things simple as possible.

Morning m8 . Yh muntons dme is very good but a bit expensive. Like my vid said the longer you wait the better it tastes 😋. I may invest in the g40 next year. If u need any advice m8 don't hesitate in contacting me 😉

We are all entitled to our own opinions. Thx for watching

@@40pints52 I didnt watch. I wanted a video not to read. But thanks

Soz just found ur msg .thx for your comment btw , to answer ur first question Adding half a Campden tablet for every 5 gallons or 20 litres of water will remove chlorine or chloramine present. The potassium metabisulfite reacts with the chlorine to break it down into chloride, sulfate, and ammonia which are not going to add undesirable flavour compounds to your home brew and in some cases are beneficial. And to answer your second question yes you do lol . Hope this helps and happy brewing:) stay safe

@@40pints52 Thanks ever-so-much for the reply. I thought it would be something like what you outline so that's really good to know🍻 Thanks again, hope you had a good New Year and, stay safe😀

Yw m8 and same to you 😄 if u need any advice im always here .

Thx ever so much for your positive comment, trust me it means alot 😁 yh it did take me quite a while researching, finding the b roll etc probably took me a few weeks to edit it too lol .as I said in a previous comment it does take alot of time effort and money to make these and its so rewarding when you get a nice comment like yours 👍 I've done 2 other documentary style vids also , check em out . Thx again m8

Soz don't understand your question?

Yw

We are all entitled to our opinions. I like it and you are the first to not . I cant plz everyone. Maybe create your own docu vid and let others be critical about it . It takes alot of hard work and money to create videos so bear that in mind next time you leave negative feedback 👍

The music is not annoying

Hi thx for the comment. Here's the blurb about it ..... This heater pad is permanently on and gives off a constant warm heat so it is important that regular checks should always be made to ensure that the correct temperature is being maintained. The heat pad is designed to operate at an ambient heat temperature of 21c to 24c. Hope this helps

Soz I've lost my paper work 4 that batch. I wouldn't recommend adding dextrose to any brew really up ur chances of homebrew twang and taste. Best thing to raise abv is to brew short say around 18-20 liters n only use dme or lme. Steep some grains also 4 a better mouth feel n body. Happy brewing m8

Thx for your kind comment. Really glad I could help. Bet you can't wait to drink it 😁 stay safe m8

Hi m8 . Really glad you liked it and thx 4 the positive comment . Always nice to read them 😁 won't be too much longer til the next one so stayed tuned. Just trying to create a different sort of content than all the same brewing vids you see out there. Glad you like what I'm doing. Keep brewing and stay safe m8

@@40pints52 aye no worries mate. I'm just after my first brew and looking for a content how to make something better from a kit, so ur video was very helpfull

Top man. This is a really good hobby and so addictive lol. Plus you can alter kits loads and put ur stamp on em 😁

Hi m8 .my thermowell is 30cm long I think. Hope this helps. Happy brewing

Hi m8 and thx for your positive comment. Yh kit supplied yeast can be dodgy n no harm pitching more yeast especially for lagers. I've been brewing for around 7 years and have only had the twang on my first ever brew lol. Done everything wrong apart from cleaning 🤣 . There are lots more tips like steeping grains, using hops etc but went for the most popular. Sorry if my vid isn't in 1080p having troubles with UA-cam HD processing. Hopefully wont be long. Stay tuned for my next vid. Coopers European laager I think. Thx again for watching and stay safe m8

Thx for your kind comment means alot. Glad I could help. Was one of my earlier vids but it gets the message across lol. Just doing my new vid how to beat homebrew twang so stay tuned. thx for watching and stay safe

Hi thx for positive comment m8 really appreciate it . Yh the batch priming step is shown on the card in the video but im not up on force carbonation as never used a cornellius keg soz about that. Just started my new vid how to beat homebrew twang so stay tuned lol. Thx for watching m8 and glad my video helped ya. Stay safe

Lol you made me laugh 😁 . Glad i can help and that you didn't burn ur house down 🤣 thx for watching and if ur into brewing check out my latest vids . Getting better now than my earlier ones but still lots to learn. Stay safe m8

Ive updated my description incase any one has difficulties. Thx 👍

No problem. The video was simple, easy to follow and strait to the point, which I like. I was searching up how to read a thermometer strip since I am attempting to make kombucha for the second time ever. I'm hoping it goes well this time now that I've become more educated. This video certainly helped so I knew when to add the scoby and starter tea. P.s. Have you ever thought about making kombucha videos? That's a whole 'nother world, right there. It's a very healthy drink with a wide range of flavors with either more alcohol or less alcohol depending how you make it. Just a suggestion and I'd probably watch those. Many people brew kombucha a little differently and so there can be many different outcomes...

Nice to hear. To be honest ive never heard of that drink til today lol don't think many ppl across the pond here make it .Both learnt something today 😁 Good luck with it and thx again for support and kind comments , means alot 👌

Oh man, then you are missing out! You've gotta try it! Kombucha is life for me. Can't live without it after having tried it. It's a healthy drink that can replace soda and also act as an energy drink. If you've never heard of it before, then you may be surprised to hear that it's a billion dollar industry. But really, you can make your own much cheaper at home. It is typically fermented, sweetened black tea. It becomes a healthy drink at the end of the process. If you're interested, these 2 videos are an excellent place to start: ua-cam.com/video/23P7QqsjEMw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/iP1L_u4kiNE/v-deo.html The second video's channel you may find inspirational for helping grow your channel with it's presentation. It will also go over more details of brewing kombucha. It's definitely a world you will want to explore, I promise! Thanks for the well wishes and you're welcome! Keep up the good work with your videos. Having helpful videos on UA-cam is invaluable for many people, so thank you!

Really appreciate your comment m8 . Wanted to make it a bit cinematic as a test 😁 . Just editing my next vid atm so should be live very soon. Steeping grains 👍 . Thx for your support and for watching. Happy brewing and stay safe

Hi thx for your kind comment m8 I've been treating my water for many years now and it's a part of all things we do to reduce off flavours but this deffo helps. It's cheap as chips to boot 😁 . Really appreciate your support and for watching. Stay tuned for my next vid very soon How to steep grains for homebrew kits. Thx again and stay safe

@@40pints52 good man! Must have read my mind as I'm planning to do a mini mash next month. Look forward to the vid.

Yh these do have many uses plus cheap as chips 😁 . Thx for watching m8

Thx m8 really appreciate your support and big up 😁 glad I can help. Stay safe and stay tuned for my next vid

Hi m8 thx for your comment. Most ppl just sprinkle it on top as I have done but there's no harm stirring it .just don't stir ur wort once fermentation has started. Hope this helps. Thx for watching and stay safe 😁

Thx m8 . It does taste nice. Just needs a dry hop ir. Really appreciate your support m8 . Next vid filming tomorrow. How to steep grains. Will help ya all beef up ur kits 😁 . Stay safe m8

hi thx for your comment . i had to use translate for that lol yh i was aware of Santa Idelgarda de Bigen . i mentioned it in my other video history of beer but i couldn't pronounce it properly lol thx for watching and stay safe

Hi thx for your reply. Most bottled water still contains chlorine and chloramine and also most filtered water unless using a carbon filter. Double check the label m8 but id recommend to use campden as cheap anyway. Thx for watching and stay safe

@@40pints52 I just checked, and my bottled water does contain chlorine. Glad i subbed you weeks back. Cheers, and thanks for pointing that out, as I never knew this.

Yw m8 not a problem. Yh caught me out a while back. Got the mrs to buy me some supermarket water and low and behold chlorine on the label. Some dont but i always treat tap water now .

@@40pints52 I will do mate thanks. I'm still shocked at finding this out. I expected to get natural spring water with no chemicals etc etc, for the price I paid for each bottle. Cheers mate have a great weekend, looking forward to your next video.

Good man. Yh it is a bit confusing. reverse osmosis is the best bet but too pricey for kit brewing. Next vid will be a 2 can kit but im planning on showing you guys steeping grains to improve kits. Lots still to do 😁 . Thx m8 will do . Thx again for ur support and have a good 1

Thx m8 really appreciate that. I'm starting to get a bit better at this now 😁 just trying to make my vids different from the rest but its hard work lol. Really appreciate your support and if I can help 1 person ill be a happy man. Thx again for watching and stay safe m8

Hi m8 and thx for watching. Really appreciate your kind comment means alot 😁 . My best advice is to buy a second hand fridge cheap and turn it into a fermentation chamber. That way you can manage the fermentation temperatures and have spot on brews. You'll then be able to brew any style of brews you want including true lagers. It might set you back a few bob m8 but its totally worth it and you'll claw back the money from what you save on all the commercial beer you would of bought 😉 . Check out my how to make a fermentation chamber video. Its so easy to do. Just make sure you measure up your equipment first to make sure it fits in your fridge. Get back to me n ill recommend some good kits when youve built it You wont regret making it m8 😁

Sweet as, will do!

Lol you'll do fine. Brewed that many times. Not bad. Just remember the kit contains a true lager yeast and for best results ferment 13-15c .will take around 3 weeks at these temps. Obviously you can brew this at higher temps but wont produce the best results. Higher temps take 2 weeks. ignore coopers times lol. Thx for watching and Subscribing m8 . Any questions don't hesitate to contact me here or on twitter 😁 stay safe

@@40pints52 Thanks Will do!

@@benabel3642 top man 😁

Lol keeping you on ur toes m8 😁 Your gunna see a massive difference once you get ur fermentation chamber sorted. Check out the inkbird 308 s temperature controller. I use it and its top notch m8 . Planning my next vid atm so hopefully won't be too long. Hope ur doing ok and stay safe mucca

Hi thx for your comment. You can place this on the front back or side of your tank. I'd say half way up. Just don't put it near any heater or cooler obviously and always above the gravel line and also out of direct sunlight. Hope this helps and thx for watching. Stay safe :)

@@40pints52 try a wilkos cerveza with a mangrove jack's californian lager yeast and 1250kgs sugar with 140g priming and see what you think.. I've just done X2 cerveza's back to back with only altering X1 brews yeast. I do like the jack's yeast though but the standard one's not too bad.

I'll look into that. I've tried a few wilkos kit n not bad but not to keen on brewing with sugar as this will more than likely lead to a thinner albeit stronger brew also you risk the dreaded twang lol. I'd use lme or dme for better results. I've done the bulldog Mexican gold cerveza which wasn't bad. Mangrove jacks deffo make some cracking pints. Will be trying muntons gold at some point. I like to mix making the more expensive kits then cheaper ones. You do get what you pay for some times.
