Almost 10 years on, and here I am re-watching to review for an Irish Stout brew day. But in doing so, I have decided to take a shot at Chip's Odd Chocolate Stout. Just need some Cali Common Yeast.... I miss Brewing TV.....
It's awesome that people still find inspiration in these classic videos! Good luck with the brew. The melting chocolate always smells soooo good. Cheers, Chip
13:00 minutes in, they are totally right. Sometimes light colored beers are insanely hoppy and bitter, and the black beers are sweet as pie. So color doesnt say too much about how strong a beer is. Needless to say, I love them all.
Mr. Dawson, I never tire of your flair for literary references, but when you compared choosing an 1880's Stout to a modern interpretation as "Sophie's Choice", now that just cracked me up. Keep up the good work, citizen.
"So happy christmas, I love yeh baby there's gonna be good times when all our dreams come thru" Great stuff ! Stout gives you hair where you dont have places.
Love all the stuff you were saying about "Dark vs light" beers being a myth. People seem to think that dark beers are more hardcore, but if anything you could argue that they tend to be more approachable than a (relatively) bitter pale ale.
I was the guy that didn’t like dark beer. Then I started drinking it at higher temps.. Wow what a difference. I could actually taste all the characteristics. I’ve never looked back.
I like how Dawson said he would let Chip and Jake do most of the talking about the Dry Irish Stout and he still ends up doing most of the talking. I want more Chop and Brew Tasting Notes and Brew Day episodes.
Jakeen is just Caighdeán (Standard Irish) with a Dublin accent, so don't worry about that I'd say. The Ulster dialect does have a good few similarities with Scots Gaelic because Ulster was Gaelic's last stop before Scotland, y'know? It is, I just wish more of my compatriots would share that appreciation for it, and of course our diverse, long-running history in the production of alcoholic beverages :)
So I brewed the NB Irish Stout about a month ago and now have it on nitro tap. It's my first. What CO2 volume are you guys carbing that keg to??? I think I've gone over carbed and had solid foam with a creamy head that would soon start to look like a pancake cooking on a griddle. Good cascade with tight creamy white head but with larger bubbles popping up, within minutes losing head entirely. I purged til flat, and now can't seem to get the carbing volume down.
NB seems to have done away with the page (www.northernbrewer/connect) so the recipes are not to be found, unless they hid them away somewhere's else. I'd like to find them if anyone knows where they are!
Hey im an irishman , i have gotta do a stout related science experiment for college, and i do love guiness. But chocolate stout and cherry stout sound incredible. I will probably set up a micro brewery for myself in the next few years. But i would be looking forward to the results. Any tips for a beginner would be much appreciated! Thanks
As an Irish person and an Irish speaker (which I encourage in all Irish people for fear of becoming a homogenized west british tourist attraction), I can safely say it's pronounced as "shaw-idj goss-in". I wouldn't blame your conclusion though, Irish phonology is difficult, sometimes even I don't know when to pronounce "s" as "sh" and leave "dh" silent.
I love what I have been learning here. I have discovered I have a stunted perception of what beer and ale actually is, beyond hops and carbonation. Reading about the beer of old Egypt, I realized I would not have recognized it as beer. They were making and drinking what the English, much later, would call "small beer", which does not refer to the size of the glass.😂 The Egyptians had a legend about using beer to save the world world from an angry blood drinking goddess who had decided to kill all humans. They filled every container with beer that had been dyed red. When angry goddess appeared they all ran and hid. Thinking the vessels were full of blood, she began drinking all she could find. Soon she got so happy she no longer wanted to drink the blood of humanity. They had a big three day beer and hedonism festival every year, to celebrate the event. This would be before Islam came to Egypt. The good old days when beer brewing was a family affair. 😇
BrewingTV I tried to Add Jake Keller to #Twitter but for some reason it wouldn't allow me. I searched and found Jake, but it was Grayed out, I wonder if it's a Private account for invite only?
THAT MYTH. I tell people alll the time that guiness is the only beer that tastes like water to me. But you know....those dark beers. Better drink an IIPA since it is light.
I hadn't had guineas in a long time, but after drinking a lot of stouts lately I had a guineas on tap and was blown away at how light the flavor really was, much weaker than I remembered...I'm trying to dispel the dark beer myth one person at a time, because I love stouts and hate having people snarl at them.
These guys started my brewing obsession. Thanks guys!
I just made this 1880 stout porter and it's beautiful. Dawson: you're a legend, much love from England
Ditto, such a great beer!

I'm in the UK and didn't discover BTV until 2020, when I started brewing all grain - I watch these videos time after time and never get tired of them.
13:00 minutes in, they are totally right.

video and information are put together so well. You guys do a great job!!!
Such a brilliant show!
Amazing video, congratulations!
Cheers from Brazil.
@21.54, Watching from Falcarragh, Donegal. Love the black stuff! Keep up the tasty brewing guys
Mr. Dawson,

Loved the little song at the end. Shane would be happy! :D
nice guys , love the history bits
"So happy christmas, I love yeh baby there's gonna be good times when all our dreams come thru"
Great stuff ! Stout gives you hair where you dont have places.
love this episode, always keep coming back. miss you guys!

hello from Ireland,,,great vid gonna do this for my nitro setup

Still possibly the best brewing tv episode
If you can get them a small amount of bullion hops 20g or so in the bittering, very nice.
Classic Chip. Classic Chip.
Like your show!

I fucking love maris otter malt. I use that shit in everything haha
Yeah me too. just discovered it. amazing in darker beers and give ipas great mouth feel and color

You use a foil cap instead of an air lock? Do you switch to an air lock later on?
Thanks guys,very good video!!
I want to brew a raspberry stout. When would i add the raspberry flavoring, secondary fermentation?
NB seems to have done away with the page (www.northernbrewer/connect) so the recipes are not to be found, unless they hid them away somewhere's else. I'd like to find them if anyone knows where they are!

Easily Top 10 episodes; maybe Top 5.
Speaking from the future, what are you brewing for this St. Patricks Day?
The fuuuuuuuuuture!
good stout video
Watching this episode as I brew an oatmeal chocolate stout. Brew on.
Time to brew a stout!!!
Great vid, thanks
what is that small device that you put the liquid into?
It is a refractometer that is used to measure the specific gravity (amount of sugar) in your wort.
Fermented banana.. grapes and oranges then add honey and water... add chocolate coco powder!
No airlock, just foil. Is that common?
I do, but only for the first 4 days of primary
I do a ton of 1 gal batches and only use foil.
man have I seen this episode..!
"PREdact it!"

I find nitro gives a lovely smooth mouthfeel, but it does seem to affect the taste

i agree that darkvslight bs is just that bs. for me it just depends on the feel of that day.
Maris Otter didnt excist in 1880 either.
As an Irish man I have to correct you , Donegal is pronounced Done-e-gaul ;)

+Darren Kehrli guiness* damn autocorrect...
you are wrong for the second time Guinness came out in 1759
Chocolate wort. Noted. Great show.
You know you're a homebrewer when mouse turds remind you of hop pellets.
BrewingTV Also, Does anyone else have a #Twitter Account I can add?
CANOE CAM!!!
What up, nerd!?
As an irish man it hurts me deep down to hear you butcher those place names
Yikes, I don't think I want to try any of your beer ;)
why put chocolate in beer! UGH.
If you have to ask, YOU DONT KNOW
I don't want to know!
***** Yes that's about right! You said it all- ""hipsters'"..........
