TEN MORE HOMEBREWING HACKS: Tips and Tricks for Beginner Brewers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- In about a decade of homebrewing, I've learned a lot. Usually by trying and failing. And sometimes by looking for shortcuts that don't impact the quality of the end product. For beginner homebrewers, there can be a lot of questions at the beginning. So we made this second video to help pass along some (relatively common sense) tips, tricks, and hacks for brewing beer, wine, mead, and cider at home.
What are your tips and tricks? Let us know in the comments!

The dishwasher tip was LIFE CHANGING
OMG, I had a client who never failed to clog his dishwasher drain/strainer with the most horrible gooey stuff 2 or 3 times a year. I talked to him and found he was an avid wine/beer maker and this mess was caused by old labels from cleaning his bottles.
I have an addendum to that dishwasher hack.
I have a relatively small house that doesn't have a lot of storage/counter space, and recently when I was de-labeling bottles I realized that I could dry and even store them by throwing them on the bottom rack in my dishwasher. I mostly wash dishes by hand, so I don't really use the dishwasher that much to begin with, but this was a super handy tip that I think other people might find useful.
Love the sonic and knuckles mug
Thank for the poly carbonate tip,!
Excited to see what you have for us this time.... My brain says feed me with your master mead making skills 💯👍🏼
Hope you enjoy!
Bonus tip for the polycarbonate hydrometer - check the calibration on it. The first one I got was a whole 17 points off.
The brew shop I ordered it from said they checked a couple of the others in stock and they all read the same way so they thought "that's just how the polycarbonate ones are". The subreddit discord disagreed, so I figured that shop had a bad batch, and ordered another polycarbonate hydrometer from a different shop. Polycarbonate hydrometer #2 was properly calibrated and it's been smooth-sailing since
ALSO - I could not find a remotely reasonably priced polycarbonate hydrometer on Amazon to save my life. Had to order from actual homebrew shops
One of the first things I did was put it in distilled room temp water and then check it against my glass one (on the advice of someone who reached out about doing so). Good tip!
Good to know. I was thinking I'd wait until my glass hydrometer broke to buy a poly one, but I'll need the glass one to double check the poly one.
I never realized my dishwasher has a sanatize setting till now. Epic af!
The dish washer tip is brilliant. I'm also really excited to try the oxiclean trick.
I got a 12 litre food grade bucket (with a lid) from work for free originally used to hold oil. I cleaned out the bulk of the oil by hand and then threw it in the dishwasher
I have a bunch of the little 5 gallon yellow/black totes, I segregate all my supplies into them. 1 with stabilizers, 1 with clarifiers, 1 with yeast and nutrients, etc makes finding my supplies easier
Anna was just saying yesterday that I need to get some containers to start separating all of my spooky chemicals with!
I put my bottles with labels in my leftover starsan in my sanitize bucket. One last use before I pour it down the drain. Does the job quickly.
Great tip!
That dishwasher hack!
I particularly like the tincture and dishwasher tips. Super cool
Tinctures are great for more than brewing too. We have been using home made cinnamon extract in everything for a couple of years now!
Mint tincture in my home.
Thanks for all the tips and tricks bud! Got turned on to your channel from MMM. cheers!
2:40 WHOOOA WHO'S DRIVING THIS THING?!
Great tips! That’s the first I’ve heard about polycarbonate hydrometers. I have yet to break one, but now that I’ve said that...
Yep. Now you’re doomed! Haha
Love it!!!
One thing to also be aware of regarding 100% juice. Even though it says 100% juice you should not assume that it is the same as "100% juice". Confused? :) What I mean is that it is a common ploy to label it as 100% juice and list the juice as being from concentrate. Why? Because it is reconstituted at a higher water level/lower sugar. For example. 4 gallons of apple juice is concentrated and reconstituted to 5 gallons for retail sale. Now we have 5 gallons of juice to sell instead of 4 and the consumer is the chump. It is still 100% juice but it will throw off your recipe if your not measuring SG and expecting the same sugar content as a non reconstituted juice.
I would be careful about that second one. I picked up a cherry juice just to look at it today because I was curious, and it turned out to be mostly apple and grape juice when I looked at the ingredients. If you're trying to make a brew with a specific juice in it, you may not want other random fruits banging around in there.
I find a lot of 100% juice that is made using pear and apple as filler. I'm just glad they have to reveal it on the label here in the U.S.
Good video. Flocculation is an underrated yeast characteristic if you ask me. It makes clearing so much easier. Compare an EC1118 batch to a K1V and you'll see what I mean. Shudder.
Exactly! It’s amazing how big of a difference it can make in your process!
Do you have a link to your favorite Hydrometer?
Really enjoying your videos! Just starting out.
#7 Jam for fruiting try apple butter omg it's amazing
If it's not pure juice in the UK it's usually called "juice drink" and not just "juice"... Like blueberry juice or blueberry juice drink (which is a blend or watered down juice, sometimes with added flavourings and preservatives)
I can't wait ! Kiss from France. ^^
Thanks for watching!
Just take that greatest hit collection..
Playlist incoming haha
Can you add pectic enzyme in secondary?
I thought u were being bias in your choice of water quality location in the last ten hacks vid cuz the superfun sites there. Lol, now i see
I'm planning to make four melomels in the near future, 3 are juice based, one is jam based. No preservatives and all pasturized. Do you recommend adding yeast nutrient since pasturized juice and jam doesn't have as many nutrients as fruit does?
I tend to always use a little nutrient in my batches, but I also tend to bloom yeast with a little bit of the must in with the warm water to avoid shocking the yeast in the pitch.
Of course the ONE time I don't wear my headphones you decide to bang something on wood and freak out my dogs, making them think someone is knocking on the front door. Sigh...
I would replace the hydrometer with a refractrometer if it wasn't for the fact that it's only good for initial gravity
Definitely!
Goo Gone can help get those tricky labels off
Definitely!
hi!!! I love your channel!!!
I just started homebrewing, and I got to a point where I´m completely lost...LOL...one of my brews got stuck...I added a little bit of more yeast, and got it running again...but now...I have no idea on how to calculate the ABV...HELP!!!
Do you have a hydrometer? If so, what was the starting reading?
@@DointheMost Yes, it was 1.094, and when it got at 1.044, then added more yeast (and sugar ...oops) and got up to 1.98 again, and ended in 1.010
@@dahnehernadez1474 Oh my! I am not a math person, but you should be able to calculate this. Running that through a brew ABV calc, I'm getting 18.11% at that final gravity!

@@DointheMost thanks!!! I didn´t know if I should add the difference between 1.044 and 1.98 to the first reading, and then subtract 1.010...LOL...now I know why we so happy after the first glass!!! LOL!!! Thank you!!!
@@dahnehernadez1474 ((1.094-1.044)+(1.098-1.010)) x 132.5 = 18.285
((OG1-FG1) + (OG2-FG2)) x 132.5
How can there possibly be 2 thumbs down!?! What is wrong with people!?!
Hey we live in about the same area.
Where do you get your Honey?
Most of ours we buy online - however WinCo is a good source for bulk honey around here. You can have them fill you a 40-pound pail, even!
Why don't I see brewers use latex gloves like cooks use?
100% juice (contain less than 10% juice)
Great 👍video ......cough prunes cough
Gotta recipe test right? 😉
Having bought over a million bbls of crude oil I cringed seeing you tap that hydrometer
