I’m a pretty avid home brewer and this is more advanced than I’d recommend if you’re intimidated at all. Instead of steeping grains and spice, you can try only extracts and hops for your first batch. Just by you doing it at home and it being fresh, it’ll be way more flavorful than some bigger beer companies. Instead of a fancy carboy, it’s fine to start with a bucket from Lowe’s or something. Drill a hold in the top for a stopper. Not ideal, but cheaper if you’re starting out. For bottling, if you don’t have glass bottles or a wand, I recommend saving old plastic soda or seltzer bottles. They hold carbonation well. I started with 2.5 gal batches and it was great. My first 5 gal batch, I had to use a 2 liter bottle because it was more than the bottles that I had. Priming sugar is great, but table sugar works fine in a pinch (also, 5 tabs per bottle is crazy. 1 tab is fine. That’s why the tabs are that size. Don’t over carb in a bottle. Chance of an explosion). There are calculators online to figure out how much you need. I recommend mixing sugar into water, then mixing that in the finished beer so it’s evenly distributed between your bottles. He allows more time than you need. That’s when a hydrometer is nice so you can check gravity, but most of my beers finish fermenting in a week and can bottle condition in as little as 5 days. Letting it go longer won’t hurt it, but if you’re anxious to drink it. And the hydrometer is nice, but most of the beginner kits are accurate enough that you don’t need one to start out.
About 160 grams of white sugar bulk primes a 23 L batch juuuust right. Thats the spoiler version , some people like to make it (seem) more complex though
Nothing wrong with a bucket and a hose if you're starting out, as long as everything is clean! And honestly, with a small bit of modification, the Coopers Kits make some really decent tasting beers. Maybe not award worthy, but it's good drinking, and a super easy way to get into it.

"3 things?! Hard pass from me" In all seriousness though, you don't actually need dysfunctional-alcoholic sized equipment. You can do this all in smaller batches, which means your brewpot can be closer in size to something you'd use for other things in your kitchen, a smaller fermenter (which fits in your cupboard more easily) and fewer bottles. Start with 4-8 L (1-2 gallon) batches.

Hey dude! Idk if you’re gonna see this but this video is one of the reasons why I got into homebrewing! So thanks for the inspiration it’s been 3-4 years of learning and brewing and you showed me how “easy” it is. Thanks!
Ghost Medic No, you should totally do it. The initial buy in isn’t too bad and then you can just keep going. You can get a brewing kit delivered to your door. Starting with beer kits is good as it cuts out the whole ‘grainy sack’ part. But after you get a few beers down you will be wanting full control of the flavour of your beer and so on. Its frikking awesome:)
I'm probably gonna get a bunch of people biting me for saying this but you don't have to buy ALL of that stuff. You can buy homebrew 'kits' which have all of the ingredients for 40 pints (give or take) of beer and then all you need is the big pot, carboy (also called a demi-john in some countries), bottles to put it in (if you're not fussy you can even use sterilised plastic screw-top bottles, save some from your sodas). The airlock can literally be a balloon fitted around the lid of your demijohn (release the gas now and then) although airlocks aren't expensive and you don't need that whole pump and bottle filler setup that Josh had. My dad uses a regular flexible tube which he submerges in the beer (to fill the tube) and then if you place your bottles below your demijohn then gravity with siphon it into the bottles for you. Just be careful not to suck up that yeast at the bottom because it tastes a bit gross HOWEVER a tiny bit won't hurt it'll just make your beer a bit cloudy. You do need to sterilise your stuff but milton tablets or sterilising tablets are easy to find, look in the baby food section of your supermarket because they're often used for sterilising baby bottles.
@@molokodreams1 Sanitation isn't so bad when you get a process down. It is satisfying to know you are making an unbelievably clean product. If your friends ever watch you brew they will never question whether the beer you give them is clean enough.

If you would like to make red/white wine vinegar, take a cheap or the remaining of a bottle put it in a mason jar and let it open, it will turn to vinegar and the red wine is very nice to make a sauce, if you cook meat in a pan just deglaze the pan with the wine and add some cold butter cubes slowly while mixing to emulsify, let thicken and serve.
I would add two things to this: 1) For starter brews, shake the carboy a bit after the wort goes in, this will help get some O2 into the beer, ultimately you want to use a stone and an O2 bottle, but if its your first one a good shake will do 2) you don't have to ferment for a solid 2 weeks. You can ferment to taste. I personally only take my beers to 1.018, this leaves enough sugar left in the beer to not be dry. That's the joy of home brewing, make it how you like it. And FYI, bottle bombs are real. My father in law had one blow on him. There was glass imbedded in the ceiling.
@@dampaul13Not from what I've read. Yeast has two phases, aerobic and anaerobic. It multiplies with O2, then goes to town on the sugar. So by putting O2 into the wort you give O2 to the yeast to multiply, which will give a better ferment. If the idea was to have a smaller colony then no one would do starters.
Bhai log soono take fruit juice add 1 cup sugar add some yeast and wait 10 days after that strain with cloth and you're darru is ready very tasty I made many time
@@buyerbuyer6283 You may want to let that age a little bit. For some weeks. What you're drinking is shit. Also it is not good to strain the initial fermentation, it mixes with the yeast and makes it very cloudy. It's better to siphon it leaving the yeast layer down below.
Pretty cool. I tend to favor the dry malt extract myself. This beer turned out to be 5.4% alcohol by volume. To calculate your alcohol by volume all you need to do is take your final gravity and subtract it from your original gravity reading and multiply your answer by 131.25 and that will give you your ABV. 1.050 - 1.009 = .041 X 131.25 = 5.38125. When you round this up it comes out to 5.4% ABV.
Ive been brewing beer wine and cider for the past 4 years!!! I absolutely love it!! The best tasting brew you will ever have is the fresh one you made by yourself!! And! Eventually it will pay for itself!! After you get all the supplies you need you can crank out bottles of homebrew at 23 cents a bottle!!
@@derkommentierkanal9901 Just because it's allowed doesn't make it a smart thing to do, you probably shouldn't put mind altering chemicals into a developing brain
i just wanted to clarify that adding salt your your ice bath will actually melt the ice faster not slower.... but it will also make your ice bath colder:p. The way this works is it lowers the freezing point of your water to approx -2 Celsius (seawater). This means the water can more readily transfer the energy into the ice melting it, but in doing so reduce the temperature of the liquid in your ice bath to below 0 Celsius. Which will have the overall effect of increasing the rate of cooling on your beer by increasing the temperature differential between your ice water and the mixture to be cooled..
@@ameliadinh6248 Basically since salt lowers the freezing point of water, while the ice will also be colder, it'll take less time for it all to melt since the ice doesn't have to work its way up to the original (higher) melting point.
Willi Rehmer you know you are soo right. He should totally have bought a whole grain equipment set up and gone through the far far far more complicated process for his first ever beer making video. I bet that liquid beer alternative tastes like absolute shit, worse than Budweiser or Stella Artois I’m sure. He should have flown to Germany and set up a brewery there using only biodynamic organic grains and heirloom hops grown on the southern edge of the Hallertau region with water sourced from Zugspitze. You’ve changed my mind with your persuasive argument, this video is a total fraud and I am changing my like to a dislike. Thank you sir.
@@Goldboy1975 i didnt talked about something like this, but where is the problem with learning how to brew real beer and then make your tutorial. you can learn it in some weeks if you want and the only thing he need is to make grit out of the malt and then you need more time for acurate cooking the mash.
Willi Rehmer how do you know he doesn’t know how to make an all grain beer and hasn’t done one already? I make all grain, but sometimes I only have time to brew a partial mash, and this video is a great way of showing what you can do with a partial mash recipe. The flavour additions, timings and instructions go above and beyond most other instructional videos on the subject, all grain or not. You don’t have to be snobby about beer making and saying what he is making isn’t real beer is pretty rude.
@@Goldboy1975 this was more meant as a criticism not as hate, maybe he will do a all grain beer and i will like it more. and that this is no real beer is my opinion and law in the country i live. i dont that its bad thing to brew like this, more that i think that i stay for tradional quality beer brewing. if would do somthing like this with wine the french/italien would act worth.
Don’t use hops, and distill the alcohol off of it and you’ll get moonshine. Stick the moonshine in a wood barrel for a few years and you’ve got whiskey.
My dad did the same in the 80’s but unfortunately his tasted like sh*t but he didn’t do all the critical faffing around like Joshua did. His beer and the large amount of faffing means I’m convinced that contracting in my beer supply is the best approach. Still, a fascinating process!
This is absolutely my next challenge. My grandma loves a good beer and I would love to make one for her (I live with my grandma to help her and take care of her)
As a professional brewer: -Partial Extract is a good place to start -Extract = NO KISS: Small advancements in equipment can take you to 100% ALL GRAIN brewing (do this if you can - the end product flavor is night and day different) -Brewers are trying to meet every customer's wants - this is a revolving target... as of 2022 there are around 9-10 thousand breweries in the US. Most likely there's one near you that would have something you would like! -Heart You Josh!
Just glad in my groceries stores they have rows and rows of microbreweries beers. For sure you will find something you like in there. Quebec is a really good place to try a lot of beers, maybe not like Belgium or Germany, but it is something.
@@1Slamalama1 but what I meant was this should reach everyone, what he is doing is amazing and I'm proud to have found this channel at an early stage, because I've seen him grow and I'm happy for him
Omg I just realized Joshua could be a darn spectacular super villain. You know all super villain have their own vanilla stories in their origin and how they were before they became one. Joshua fits very well.
Well this was really straight forward video from non brewing channel, great job! But there are few things you can improve if you want to start homebrewing. Dont bother with grains just buy the extracts. Saves time. Pick an easy beer to brew like pale ale, US-05 yeast are forgiving. Instead of carboy, buy yourself a bucket with a spigot, no need to buy a racking cane and buckets are much easier to clean. Use plastic bottles, just make sure they are brown or green. It saves you time, you dont have to cap it, capping tools can be expensive and also it gives you a chance to check for pressure in the bottles. Common rookie mistake is bottling too soon which in glass bottles means you just made few time bombs. Cheers.
As a brewer, definitely agree that this is a good intro level beer. You ever wanna try your hand at something more advanced I’d love to give a couple pointers.
The pointers? I'd love to hear them of you have them... Just in general where you buy ingredients, sanitiseing tablets or whatever they are, carbonation drops. Also some recipes would be nice for newbies and some advanced for later use.
@@vitaszernys2893 for sure man. You can probably google to find a local home-brew shop near you. However, if you don’t have one nearby there’s a great website called Adventures in Homebrew that’ll ship anything you need to you. That includes kits with pre made recipes for you to follow. Once you get your feet wet with kits, then move in to playing around more. That website also has any equipment you might need for the task as well.
The first thing I did before starting to homebrew was to read Palmer’s ‘How to Brew.’ This book is available free online, and I highly recommend that anyone contemplating brewing at home read it FIRST, before acquiring anything shown in the video.
Another way to keep the carboy/bucket in the dark is with wick cooling. Wrap it in dark colored, wet towel (with the carboy/bucket in a plastic tub with about 1" of water), and secure it to the carboy.bucket with a bungee cord that's not too tight. The wick cooling works well in places like Florida, and keeps the wort at about 5 deg below the room temperature.
I feel so sorry for every American who can’t drink beer legally until they are 21. Greetings from Germany and wow, your recipes are so well explained ! Thank you
Roachianna the thing is most of you start drinking in college. That means excessive drinking and a lot of hard alcohol. So it doesn’t matter if your brain is fully developed since no one knows their limit and drinks way too much . In countries where you are allowed drinking at 16 you start with beer or wine in small amounts and you get to test your limit. So when we turn 21 we know how to handle alcohol
ll Eftanyel ll y’all know very well y’all ain’t doing that, and injecting any type of alcohol when your brain is in development can cause problems so what you said don’t even make sense
Beautiful recipe and great instructional video! I have been brewing for a while now and Im really into making a brew called a gruit, which is basically an unhoped beer! I would imagine your recipe here would be fantastic unhoped and then using something else to add a bitterness! Great video! 🍺
@Shukin Andjivin No dude. The law isn't a magic book that you write something and they become true. If a law can't be executed the law doesn't even exist
It's a pretty similar process really, I wouldn't say one was that much harder than the other, beer requires a boil and wine doesn't but surprisingly the rest is almost the same process, also you have to age wine for significantly longer than most beers, anywhere from 6 12 months, sometimes longer.
@@to819 You're supposed to pour it at an angle to properly aerate it, it will still get a good head if you're doing it right. But aggro-pouring it like he did is not proper.
@@Blackenedwhiplash that depends I have a friend that brews at a craft brewery that pours straight in the glass all the time and if you’re beer is properly carbonated it will still have the same head retention as tipping the glass.
UA-cam algorithm, you have officially failed. This channel is my JAM. I watch endless amounts of Babish and Kenji, and yet I didn't get any of this dude's stuff recommended to me? I had to find this channel from a comment on a Kenji video. PSA: talk about your favorite related channels in the comments section - the YT recommendation algo sucks.
I'll make life easier for you who think there are way too many things here to get started: all you really need for some good beer is oats, hops and yeast. All you need to make it is a large cooking pot, a sieve bag and a fermentation jug with a tap and airlock. Thats it!!! The cost for all that combined is less than 50 bucks and you literally need to buy 3 things for ingredients and 3 things to cook it. I assume everyone has a sieve at home, and old bottles can be reused, especially with a flip-top. Sanitizer is a big plus but even that can be replaced by boiling everything. All the rest is extra that you can get later on, if you even want to.
Excellent video. Just one note to all aspiring home brewers: please don't discard your spent grain (the grains left over after they've been boiled to make the wort). You can give it to local farmers to feed their cattle, or make energy bars or bread out of it. Or even make it into bio fuel. It makes the brewing process more sustainable and circular :)
An old screw cap bottle, a funnel, a wire mesh strainer, a cooking pot or two, a source of sugars (malt is good, or molasses, or date sugar…), clean water, a gruit such as spruce tips or yarrow or tea or spices, and some live yeast of some sort. That’s all you need to make a decent alcoholic beverage, adjacent to beer or exactly beer depending on if you used barley malt and hops or not, and if you drink it quickly you can just keep the yeast alive and make your brews continuously.
Joshua, I absolutely love you videos, you have more information on you page than bon appetite. I love your commitment to knowledge and making it practical for novices.
At my school there is actually a beer brewing workshop availabe for students over the age of 15. It's really cool, they even make different types of beer. ( drinking age in Germany is 16 for beer and wine)
Not exactly the same thing, but: the Jas Townsend UA-cam channel has a video called "portable soup" where he makes beef stock, boils it down, cools it so that the gelatin sets, then slices them into little pieces and dries them in the open air. I guess that's how people stored broth for later use in the 1700s.
I’ve watched that video from Jas Townsend, it’s pretty good. I originally wanted to buy the Sahara dehydrator to make portable soup, so I could store stock more compactly. But, then I realised that dehydrating stock further into bouillon powder would be better as it’s easier to store and should last longer as well.

@@tomfodenfilm not an expert here, but an ale differs wildly from a light lager like an estrella. for starters, it uses adifferent kind of yeast, which in turn has an effect on the fermentation, the grains used here are also different and it is flavored not only with hops, but also other spices.... so if you like a light lager-style beer, this might not be what you're looking for. big brands in western countries are almost exclusively lager-styles, with rare exceptions... ales haven't really been mainstream for the last 50-ish years.
@@jano1574 Thank you. this is really helpful I am going to have a further look on the internet for something more larger esc. However am still open to the idea of brewing an ale, if you've got any suggestions that would be really appreciated.
@@tomfodenfilm Honestly if you want to try out homebrewing but aren't sure, try brewing from one gallon since most stock pots people will have at home will get the job done and it's easy to start scaling up if you do like it. Brewer's Best makes some good 1 gallon starter kits and recipe kits that I highly recommend. As for the type of beer: unfortunately lagers are a bit harder (or at least more time consuming since they ferment longer) to get right when starting out but a kolsch style ale might be more your thing. Kolsch-style ales are ales, but are light and have lager-like characteristics. Cream Ales are also close and are what most craft breweries make to cater to light lager fans.
@@SchwarbageTruck Thank I will look into both kolsch style ales as well as the brewers best starter pack and I may just end up doing that tbh. Though I have scouted the internet and have come across Pale Czech Pilsner; would this be a good beer to try and tackle or do I need a lot more "precision"?

Hey dude! Idk if you’re gonna see this but this video is one of the reasons why I got into homebrewing! So thanks for the inspiration it’s been 3-4 years of learning and brewing and you showed me how “easy” it is. Thanks!
I'm disappointed that you missed the chance to say "Beer-roll" instead of B roll.
Yeah definitely needed a chef John reference 😂👌

That's it. I'm calling Pun Patrol.
He did say Bee-Roll tho. Bee-rOll.
What does B roll mean btw?
I've always thought about making my own beer, but after seeing this video, I think I'll just pay someone else to do it lol.
Ghost Medic No, you should totally do it. The initial buy in isn’t too bad and then you can just keep going. You can get a brewing kit delivered to your door. Starting with beer kits is good as it cuts out the whole ‘grainy sack’ part. But after you get a few beers down you will be wanting full control of the flavour of your beer and so on. Its frikking awesome:)
Sanitation is a pain in the ass. If you got all the time in the world do it
You thought it was easier than this?! God damn.
I'm probably gonna get a bunch of people biting me for saying this but you don't have to buy ALL of that stuff. You can buy homebrew 'kits' which have all of the ingredients for 40 pints (give or take) of beer and then all you need is the big pot, carboy (also called a demi-john in some countries), bottles to put it in (if you're not fussy you can even use sterilised plastic screw-top bottles, save some from your sodas). The airlock can literally be a balloon fitted around the lid of your demijohn (release the gas now and then) although airlocks aren't expensive and you don't need that whole pump and bottle filler setup that Josh had. My dad uses a regular flexible tube which he submerges in the beer (to fill the tube) and then if you place your bottles below your demijohn then gravity with siphon it into the bottles for you. Just be careful not to suck up that yeast at the bottom because it tastes a bit gross HOWEVER a tiny bit won't hurt it'll just make your beer a bit cloudy. You do need to sterilise your stuff but milton tablets or sterilising tablets are easy to find, look in the baby food section of your supermarket because they're often used for sterilising baby bottles.
@@molokodreams1 Sanitation isn't so bad when you get a process down. It is satisfying to know you are making an unbelievably clean product. If your friends ever watch you brew they will never question whether the beer you give them is clean enough.

Could you do a video on how to make vinegar?
If you would like to make red/white wine vinegar, take a cheap or the remaining of a bottle put it in a mason jar and let it open, it will turn to vinegar and the red wine is very nice to make a sauce, if you cook meat in a pan just deglaze the pan with the wine and add some cold butter cubes slowly while mixing to emulsify, let thicken and serve.
Yes.
Say vinegar slowly

@@muhannaddiraneyya1866 stfu
I would add two things to this: 1) For starter brews, shake the carboy a bit after the wort goes in, this will help get some O2 into the beer, ultimately you want to use a stone and an O2 bottle, but if its your first one a good shake will do 2) you don't have to ferment for a solid 2 weeks. You can ferment to taste. I personally only take my beers to 1.018, this leaves enough sugar left in the beer to not be dry. That's the joy of home brewing, make it how you like it.
And FYI, bottle bombs are real. My father in law had one blow on him. There was glass imbedded in the ceiling.
"shake the carboy a bit after the wort goes in,"
That would really depend on the yeast you are using and it's oxygen requirements.
@@dampaul13Not from what I've read. Yeast has two phases, aerobic and anaerobic. It multiplies with O2, then goes to town on the sugar. So by putting O2 into the wort you give O2 to the yeast to multiply, which will give a better ferment. If the idea was to have a smaller colony then no one would do starters.
“You can use ginger if you don’t have galangal”. Yeah! Because I have everything else in my kitchen.

@@buyerbuyer6283 You may want to let that age a little bit. For some weeks. What you're drinking is shit. Also it is not good to strain the initial fermentation, it mixes with the yeast and makes it very cloudy. It's better to siphon it leaving the yeast layer down below.
@@pratikpatra8096 ok will do it's just that I don't have time to wait for a few weeks thanks anyway
@@buyerbuyer6283 it will taste better. That's all. The sharp taste of alcohol mellows down a little
Pretty cool. I tend to favor the dry malt extract myself. This beer turned out to be 5.4% alcohol by volume. To calculate your alcohol by volume all you need to do is take your final gravity and subtract it from your original gravity reading and multiply your answer by 131.25 and that will give you your ABV.
1.050 - 1.009 = .041 X 131.25 = 5.38125. When you round this up it comes out to 5.4% ABV.

Please make a new brewing video, I know it’s time consuming but this is one of my favourite Weissman videos
i just wanted to clarify that adding salt your your ice bath will actually melt the ice faster not slower.... but it will also make your ice bath colder:p.
The way this works is it lowers the freezing point of your water to approx -2 Celsius (seawater). This means the water can more readily transfer the energy into the ice melting it, but in doing so reduce the temperature of the liquid in your ice bath to below 0 Celsius. Which will have the overall effect of increasing the rate of cooling on your beer by increasing the temperature differential between your ice water and the mixture to be cooled..
Omg I’m so interested in how it works.. But can you explain it in a less complicated way? Thank you.
@@ameliadinh6248 Basically since salt lowers the freezing point of water, while the ice will also be colder, it'll take less time for it all to melt since the ice doesn't have to work its way up to the original (higher) melting point.
@@malinasworld Ahh I got it now! Many thanks!
I had this argument with someone last summer. We agreed that you needed to freeze the salty water (-2°c as mentioned).
More dense the liquid ( addding salt will do) more faster the heat transfer
Been making beer for seven years now and this is a great video. Well done Josh. Cyber high 5.
but this isnt real beer? he uses liquid malt instead of real malt?! you should know the diffrence when youre brewing since 7 years
Willi Rehmer you know you are soo right. He should totally have bought a whole grain equipment set up and gone through the far far far more complicated process for his first ever beer making video. I bet that liquid beer alternative tastes like absolute shit, worse than Budweiser or Stella Artois I’m sure. He should have flown to Germany and set up a brewery there using only biodynamic organic grains and heirloom hops grown on the southern edge of the Hallertau region with water sourced from Zugspitze. You’ve changed my mind with your persuasive argument, this video is a total fraud and I am changing my like to a dislike. Thank you sir.
@@Goldboy1975 i didnt talked about something like this, but where is the problem with learning how to brew real beer and then make your tutorial. you can learn it in some weeks if you want and the only thing he need is to make grit out of the malt and then you need more time for acurate cooking the mash.
Willi Rehmer how do you know he doesn’t know how to make an all grain beer and hasn’t done one already? I make all grain, but sometimes I only have time to brew a partial mash, and this video is a great way of showing what you can do with a partial mash recipe. The flavour additions, timings and instructions go above and beyond most other instructional videos on the subject, all grain or not. You don’t have to be snobby about beer making and saying what he is making isn’t real beer is pretty rude.
@@Goldboy1975 this was more meant as a criticism not as hate, maybe he will do a all grain beer and i will like it more. and that this is no real beer is my opinion and law in the country i live. i dont that its bad thing to brew like this, more that i think that i stay for tradional quality beer brewing. if would do somthing like this with wine the french/italien would act worth.
So in simplistic terms you make "grain tea" and then put yeast in it?

Don’t use hops, and distill the alcohol off of it and you’ll get moonshine. Stick the moonshine in a wood barrel for a few years and you’ve got whiskey.

Well this was really straight forward video from non brewing channel, great job! But there are few things you can improve if you want to start homebrewing. Dont bother with grains just buy the extracts. Saves time. Pick an easy beer to brew like pale ale, US-05 yeast are forgiving. Instead of carboy, buy yourself a bucket with a spigot, no need to buy a racking cane and buckets are much easier to clean. Use plastic bottles, just make sure they are brown or green. It saves you time, you dont have to cap it, capping tools can be expensive and also it gives you a chance to check for pressure in the bottles. Common rookie mistake is bottling too soon which in glass bottles means you just made few time bombs. Cheers.
Hey Josh
You should try to make Root Beer for Fermentation Friday. Would like to see your take on it.
As a brewer, definitely agree that this is a good intro level beer. You ever wanna try your hand at something more advanced I’d love to give a couple pointers.

Another way to keep the carboy/bucket in the dark is with wick cooling. Wrap it in dark colored, wet towel (with the carboy/bucket in a plastic tub with about 1" of water), and secure it to the carboy.bucket with a bungee cord that's not too tight. The wick cooling works well in places like Florida, and keeps the wort at about 5 deg below the room temperature.

In India you have to be 25 😔😔
ll Eftanyel ll it’s good you wait until 21 because of brain development
Roachianna the thing is most of you start drinking in college. That means excessive drinking and a lot of hard alcohol. So it doesn’t matter if your brain is fully developed since no one knows their limit and drinks way too much . In countries where you are allowed drinking at 16 you start with beer or wine in small amounts and you get to test your limit. So when we turn 21 we know how to handle alcohol
ll Eftanyel ll y’all know very well y’all ain’t doing that, and injecting any type of alcohol when your brain is in development can cause problems so what you said don’t even make sense

It's a pretty similar process really, I wouldn't say one was that much harder than the other, beer requires a boil and wine doesn't but surprisingly the rest is almost the same process, also you have to age wine for significantly longer than most beers, anywhere from 6 12 months, sometimes longer.

I'll make life easier for you who think there are way too many things here to get started: all you really need for some good beer is oats, hops and yeast. All you need to make it is a large cooking pot, a sieve bag and a fermentation jug with a tap and airlock. Thats it!!! The cost for all that combined is less than 50 bucks and you literally need to buy 3 things for ingredients and 3 things to cook it. I assume everyone has a sieve at home, and old bottles can be reused, especially with a flip-top. Sanitizer is a big plus but even that can be replaced by boiling everything. All the rest is extra that you can get later on, if you even want to.

Excellent video.
Just one note to all aspiring home brewers: please don't discard your spent grain (the grains left over after they've been boiled to make the wort).
You can give it to local farmers to feed their cattle, or make energy bars or bread out of it. Or even make it into bio fuel.
It makes the brewing process more sustainable and circular :)
An old screw cap bottle, a funnel, a wire mesh strainer, a cooking pot or two, a source of sugars (malt is good, or molasses, or date sugar…), clean water, a gruit such as spruce tips or yarrow or tea or spices, and some live yeast of some sort. That’s all you need to make a decent alcoholic beverage, adjacent to beer or exactly beer depending on if you used barley malt and hops or not, and if you drink it quickly you can just keep the yeast alive and make your brews continuously.

Hey Josh, how would you use your Sahara dehydrator to turn stock into bouillon?
Not exactly the same thing, but: the Jas Townsend UA-cam channel has a video called "portable soup" where he makes beef stock, boils it down, cools it so that the gelatin sets, then slices them into little pieces and dries them in the open air. I guess that's how people stored broth for later use in the 1700s.
I’ve watched that video from Jas Townsend, it’s pretty good. I originally wanted to buy the Sahara dehydrator to make portable soup, so I could store stock more compactly. But, then I realised that dehydrating stock further into bouillon powder would be better as it’s easier to store and should last longer as well.
Fun to watch,ive never home brewed. First job in beer was a commercial system with a mash press. 2nd and current one in another commercial system.

Maniac Hobbyist hi I’ve always wanted to try and make a home brewed beer but The only thing holding me back from a recipe like this is what it taste like. Are there any big brands this beer is like for reference I prefer lighter beers like estrella so would this be right?
@@tomfodenfilm not an expert here, but an ale differs wildly from a light lager like an estrella. for starters, it uses adifferent kind of yeast, which in turn has an effect on the fermentation, the grains used here are also different and it is flavored not only with hops, but also other spices.... so if you like a light lager-style beer, this might not be what you're looking for.
big brands in western countries are almost exclusively lager-styles, with rare exceptions... ales haven't really been mainstream for the last 50-ish years.
@@jano1574 Thank you. this is really helpful I am going to have a further look on the internet for something more larger esc. However am still open to the idea of brewing an ale, if you've got any suggestions that would be really appreciated.
@@tomfodenfilm Honestly if you want to try out homebrewing but aren't sure, try brewing from one gallon since most stock pots people will have at home will get the job done and it's easy to start scaling up if you do like it. Brewer's Best makes some good 1 gallon starter kits and recipe kits that I highly recommend.
As for the type of beer: unfortunately lagers are a bit harder (or at least more time consuming since they ferment longer) to get right when starting out but a kolsch style ale might be more your thing. Kolsch-style ales are ales, but are light and have lager-like characteristics. Cream Ales are also close and are what most craft breweries make to cater to light lager fans.
@@SchwarbageTruck Thank I will look into both kolsch style ales as well as the brewers best starter pack and I may just end up doing that tbh. Though I have scouted the internet and have come across Pale Czech Pilsner; would this be a good beer to try and tackle or do I need a lot more "precision"?
