Watching him get the one last hop nugget in the bag out made the video. The comedic relief we need.
I love brewing small batches. Life is so much easier and bottling day is super fast!
I bought a similar set up but all grain no extract. I watched the video on the box before I started, and it tasted amazing. It's really hard to screw this up or any beer for that matter as long as you follow the directions. Keep it clean and don't rush things nature has to take it's course. Remember if you can make oatmeal or mac & cheese then you can make beer. Cheers.
what kit did you buy. im looking for all grain. thank you!
I followed the video instructions and now I’m a little nervous I’m currently boil stage and found the paper instructions . Paper says when steeping the pot of water should be turned on to medium while steeping for 20 minutes.. which in the video it didn’t say that. Hopefully it will still have good flavor. Also make sure you put the 7g hops in the first 30min and then the 3.5 in the last 15 min of boil
wow this Nick Butler guy really cant learn. after 5 videos of guided homebrewing he still has "no idea how to do that" lmao
OfficerPoop Nugget underrated comment
I laughed way harder than I should have.
I like that he just knocks back the beer straight down his gullet directly from bottle at the end. He must love that yeasty sediment taste.. mmmm
Nice idea. I'd love to have an ingredients only kit though, I have plenty of 1 gallon jugs, and all the other hardware. Maybe keep in the cleaner and the cap for the jug.
How do they have the DVD featuring them on it if they're filming it right then??? Are they wizards
I didn't hear any carb swish at all when he opened that bottle at the end/
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed! lol maybe he didn't cap them tight enough? I wonder how many other beers from that batch were the same.
The 7 reference, earned a sub from me! xD "WHATS IN THE BOXXXXXXXXX"
Then it's all been worth it!
Can you age the beer in the carboy longer, say 6 months, amd it produce a better tasting brew?
Is that the "Gardening on Salvia" guy?
Ahahaha yeah it tastes great, I'll have another one.
I laughed audibly
So the fermentation stage...he said to leave the fermenter there for 7 to 10 days and then he said the fermentation stage takes 2 weeks. So which is it, 7 to 10 days or 2 weeks? Maybe I missed something.
Honestly, time is very flexible. The important thing is to make sure the fermentation is complete both visually (no more bubbles in airlock or foam on top of beer in fermenter) and by numbers (taking gravity readings until they are constant for a few days in a row) and the beer is allowed to rest for a few days to condition and clear a bit before moving onto bottling or kegging. Depending on the beer, yeast, and fermentation temperature this is generally takes 1-2 weeks. It's always good to plan for a two-week process just in case things go slower than you expect.
@@NorthernBrewerTV Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply! Love the channel!
Hi all. Just bought this item. Looking forward to getting started! Quick question - in this vid you used a 45 min boil. What would happen if you took it to a 60 min boil?
It takes 3 and a half years to answer that
Didn’t say if spigot washer goes on inside or outside of bottling bucket
Will this kit make Hefe?
meme of the future ..... "WHATS IN THE BOX!?"
2:24 WAAAAAATS IN DA BOX
18:07 THE MOST HEINOUS OF TASTES
Just ordered this kit and i want to know if i can order other recipes and use this same equipment?
Greg Palafos you can bud, you can even find recipes online and practice them till you feel good enough to make your own recipes. I would suggest buying the book how to brew by John Palmer. Good luck!
At the 10:00 mark when they transfered the cleanser from the glass jug into the metal jug, why didn't they just pour it? Why the whole siphoning procedure? Was it to clean the siphoner, tube, etc?
You could certainly pour it directly into the jug, but we did that to help clean it. You could also just sanitize the siphon separately with something like Star San before use. Cheers!
What Bout filtering?
I vote for Caribou Brew instead of Caribou Slobber! Certainly sales will increase, right? lol
Whenever I put the wart into the fermentor I don’t have a gallon I have a lot less than a gallon? Can I add water to the watt to get it to the one gallon mark?
Yes, you would "top off" the fermenter with clean water (tap if good, or bottled) to one gallon and then pitch yeast.
How did it go rick?
The syphon tube didnt work and my cleasing packet was open when we got our package also the syphon tube is leaking
We just got a kit and I am wondering what type of stove top you are using? Induction? Gas?
You can use any sort of burner - gas, electric or induction.
Can I leave it sit longer than 2 weeks in fermenter.
Is there a specific reason you need to sit longer? Theoretically you could go longer but there is a chance yeast can start doing some things that off-flavors if the beer sits on it too long after fermentation is complete. I wouldn't let it sit for a month or so. Unless you are cold-crashing it so the yeast is dormant.
Who is Nick Butler?
how long does it take too cool off
30 minutes
So I have this kit and lost the laminated sheet. Is there a way to find that? I haven’t brewed in four years so I don’t remember anything...
Sorry for the delay on this response. If you email brewmaster@northernbrewer.com and ask our customer service folks for the 1 Gallon Small Batch Kit instructions, they should be able to email you the PDF.
does this kit come with beer bottles??????
No, you have to buy bottles and crowns
I just bottled a small batch and it only yielded 7 bottles. Is that normal?
12 ounce bottles? You should theoretcially be able to get a few more out of it, but if you sacrifice some beer in order to make sure you don't pull any sediment from the bottome of the fermenter into the bottle that might cost you a bottle or two. Or if you're end-of-boil volume was a bit lower than one gallon, that would obviously affect it as well. Does this help?
@@NorthernBrewerTV after pouring the beer into the fermenter I did as the instructions said and filled to the gallon mark with water and when done the krausen wasn't that high but I might have left a bottles worth in the fermenter because I was bottling by myself(was about 2am) and the last bottle was tricky. But we'll see how this goes. Today is week 2 after bottling and am going to put 1 bottle in the fridge to get cold hopefully to drink later tonight.
Ever heard of a wonderful piece of technology called a 'drinking glass' ??
After 24 hours mine doesn’t look like that. No ring around the top. Why is that?
Sometimes it takes a few days to get more amount of foam (krausen) on the beer. Are you seeing bubbles in the airlock yet?
@@NorthernBrewerTV I think I’m good. Been almost 48 hours and it looks better. It was a little cold in my house the first night so hoping that was it
@@stanggangchannel yes. Temperature matters.
"Caribou Slobber" because the _Moose Drool_ title was already taken.
The music at 9:00 please!
Tanto Mindsculptor no
It's a real shame that Northern Brewer themselves don't answer these questions. I have my own and seen a few legitimate questions that they should answer, and would if the really cared. It is sad that I spent money on this and know my outcome will be bad because I they don't answer questions on thier own videos.
I think that's what the website and phone number is for. It's included in the literature you get with the kit. Plus there are other brewing videos from NB as well as other brewers here on YT. There's always Google too
Sorry, this channel wasn't being monitored as closely as it should have been, but is now once again. Is there anything we can do to help still at the point? Apologize for the delay once again.
A DVD?!?!?
Ahhhhh. It was a different time, wasn't it?
Haha it was indeed... Thanks for the video, getting ready to buy my kit!!! 😄
Pee pee poo poo head hehehehehe NOW THATS WHAT I CALL COMEDY!!!!
the pump didnt work and i ended up having to syphon it out with my mouth seriously pissed off pretty sure the beers going to be bad now to - would not buy
Completely agree with you. I thought I was doing something wrong because the syphon wasn't syphoning, just pumping the beer back and forth, likely due to imperfect seal. Northern Brewer needs to improve this in their kits.
You probably just didn’t use it correctly you fucking moron!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t quit your day job!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@DannyKapatrik That escalated quickly
Kyle Harris I must’ve had a bit too many pints m8
why is he talking to his skinny self
Is this a good hobby for a recovering alcoholic?
I would say yes. Replace drinking with a hobby like fishing or walking are good alternatives.
The only problem I had at creating my own one gallon recipe after we tried doing these brewing kits, is that no one tells you how much yeast is in those packets. If you are wanting to create your own recipe, make sure you weigh the yeast on a food scale before hand to make sure you know how much yeast you were provided. It's a real hassle down the line if you are interested in making your own recipe and you don't know how much yeast you need for one gallon brew (most recipes tell you what type of yeast they use not how much).
Honestly pitch rate is pretty flexible. The way dry yeast is normally sold, one packet basically works for 5 gallons of a normal gravity batch. With a 1 gallon batch, that is a pretty high pitch rate, so you can add something like half the packet and just discard the rest (unless you're brewing something else within maybe an hour or something).
@@Latronibus, thanks for the advice. To be economical, I'm wanting to buy a 5 gallon recipe, but only use 1/5 of the ingredients for each one gallon brew (brewing maybe a gallon every two weeks or so). You're saying the unused yeast would need to be discarded, unless immediately used, but would that also apply to the other ingredients once the packets have been opened or exposed to air? Thanks for any tips you may have on this!
@@stevegunn9971 Yeast needs to be discarded pretty quickly once opened. Grain lasts ages if unmilled and is still fine for at least a month milled. I think the same is true of dry malt extract. Not sure about liquid malt extract here. Hops can be stored in open containers in the freezer for at least a month, but they are much better fresh.
@@Latronibus Thanks for the quick response and very helpful advice!
Isnt that bottle to small? Fermentation will produce alot of foam and that dosnt seem like it has space for it.
I've brewed using this kit only 2 times, the first time my wort didnt reach the 1 gal mark so there was a lot of head space; didn't need a blow off hose (that batch ended up being really strong)
The second time I added enough water to reach 1 gal so I used a blowoff hose for the first week but I didn't even need to because nothing came up into the hose at all
It is small. US gallon not the same as imperial gallon. 5 gallon imperial is 6 gallon US.A pint US must be smaller than UK. Correct me if im wrong
10:35 Why not just pour the cleaner solution out?
Had myself wondering the same thing. I figured maybe to clean the tubing? Not sure though.
He did that to sanitize the tubing and the rack siphon..
@@spyderco1116 100%
Seems like alot of work for basically a six Pak and should have poured it into a glass at the end.
That's why it's called a starter kit. Once a person feels more comfortable with the process they move up to a larger kit
Nice copy and paste video NB, it's kinda dumb that you made a 5 gal kit vid and this but can't even show us the final product in a glass
This guy must get amnesia after every video. Poor guy
Both of their energies didn’t match…
Nick you should collect stamps. After all your videos you still start off with duh don’t know what to do
This is painful to watch
Any suggestions for making future videos less painful?
@@NorthernBrewerTV It was an excellent video, i.e. to the point, informative, easy to understand and well articulated. Great job, guys!
Lots of plastic :(
