Homebrewing ... how to brew beer at home - a tutorial 🍺

Mike and Adam chronicle a homebrew brew day. Its Adam's second attempt at a brew, and Mike's first time being part of the process.
This brew day is for either a stout or a porter. It could all go right or horribly wrong.
=========================================
This is a channel about beer.
Does it grow in the glass? Does it bloom? Does it change? Does it get better? Does it get worse? Does it make you want another? Or just this one? We’re here to enjoy these mini works of liquid craftsmanship, critique with a loving but fair eye, and celebrate the fellowship of beer!
Most importantly, it’s about trying new beverages, encouraging and educating others to broaden tastes, and really just having fun.
Adam’s favorite style is a porter, but a close second is an imperial stout. The darker, the better.
Mike’s favorite style is an imperial stout. Unlike Adam, Mike is a fan of the sweeter stouts.

Boys, this is a great video. Loved it. I have not yet began to dabble in home brewing, as I have always been scared of the process, but this video gave me confidence!

Managing the space and having a good stream lined idea of how to move through each step makes it easy and fun. Thanks for watching!

Impressed how neat and clean you were through the process. It's been a while for me, but my brew days always looked like the aftermath of a tornado. You looked well prepared and your process looked solid. I was confused initially why you weren't mashing the grains but forget that with extract you don't mash, I guess. I do wonder if it makes a difference to reach a strike temp before adding the grains to the water, even with a partial mash. Only other comment is keep an eye on that air lock. I've had a couple brews that have blown through the airlock when the fermentation really gets rolling. Eventually I would just start with a blow off tube set up for the first week, then move to an airlock once things settled down.

That airlock did blow! First couple of days was quite active but finally settled and finished out at day 10. Thanks for watching!

Cheers to home brewed beers

Thank you!

Only on my 5th brew but so far all the recipes called for 60 min. steep time on the grains. Also you want to kill the heat when you add your sugars, it helps reduce the foaming which can boil over and cause a mess.

Thank you! We appreciate your feedback and suggestions. We are brewing up a Belgian Tripel on Friday of this week.
