  • If you want to know how to brew beer, but don't know where to start then you came to the right place. It's fermentation Friday and today we are going over the long-awaited beginner beer recipe for the saison that I've been brewing over the last few months. I wouldn't say it's the easiest thing in the world but it's also not that hard once you actually do it and see for yourself.

      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.

    I’m now drinking my last saison and I will def brew it again, after 3 weeks of conditioning I must say I found the ginger was very perceptible but after 2 more weeks of aging the flavours meld much more and it’s delicious !!! When I first saw this video I was intimidated with making beer but after failing 2 of 3 brown ales I tackled this one and I couldn’t be happier !! Even though you were my 4th brew you were the spark that got me in to the process, thank you pantsy man!!! 😀

  • @brandonb417
    @brandonb417 2 роки тому +11

    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.

    @chozomonkey 3 роки тому +295

    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.

      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.

      @@tomfodenfilm The thing about home brew is that it doesn't taste like any big brand beer. In a way, that's kinda the point. Large beer companies produce a beer that is designed to please the masses so they don't really take risks with 'out there' flavours. Anyways, try it out and discover what you like by adding different things each time. It's all about trial and error. Also the process of brewing is almost as fun as the end product (not quite as fun but ya know...still pretty fun).

    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.

    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..

    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.

    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'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.

So it doesn’t matter if your brain is fully developed since no one knows their limit and drinks way too much .

    Great video. Honestly, seems like too much work so I’ll just continue go to my local brewery and enjoy the craft beers they produce and appreciate a little more the beer they make after watching this video.

    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.

    Forget a cooking channel, you should start an ASMR channel. When you poured that beer you had me feeling mad tingles man

    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.

    It’s amazing how easy it is to make beer. Good thing I didn’t know this in high school…
