It is nice to see someone show people how to brew correctly.
'The valve will open and the beer will flow'... I almost cried.
ALMOST?!
I did cry 🤣
Lol!... Yeah ant that the truth!....😂
😂
"If you can make mac and cheese from a box..."
Me: Alright!
"Without help..."
Me: AAUGH!
Best. Comment. Ever.
By far the clearest, best explained brewing video i have viewed. Thank YOU NorthernBrewer.
seems like a lot of work but once you have made a few batches it will become easy and you will not only save but possibly make money and have a good hobby.
Sounds good 😁
I'm going to sell mine door-to-door
@Divinital I went and got a corny keg this past weekend. That was forty bucks. And I just went and got a small freezer for $40 off of Craigslist. There's enough room in there for two kegs. I think I'm going to have a summer that I don't remember.
@De Niro He doesnt remember
One of the best videos for beginners that I have seen.. Today I brew my first batch.
How did it go!!??
thanks for this. Just bought a still and considered making a batch of beer from time to time. This video made the process very clear
You should have shown how to check the specific gravity before and after fermentation and showed how you calculate the alcohol content......
Shoulda couldn't
4:44 put the CLOSED jug of syrup
and get some olive oil on those wood counter tops. Uhg. Stains everywhere.
Brilliant. I would love this setup in Australia.
Love it ! Clear and to the point.
Lol, I must have watched this video 12 times back when I was first learning to brew! Still just as awesome!
Beautifully and simply explained
Awesome! Thanks
Great 101 video for Extract kits!
This video is so helpful. Many thanks! I'll be sure to purchase your products so that I can, at lease, give back something to you guys.
Beautifully well done.
Awesome video guys! Thank you
Appreciate it!
Crafted our first batch of beer 6 weeks ago and it was delicious! This is a great kit if you're trying to craft your first batch of beer!
+Daniel Mabe how long from start to finish ??
+louisvillian502 About 4 hours of physical work and 4-6 weeks of waiting
Thanks for this video
Fantastic video!
Great video!
You're a creative force.
I have recently started brewing at home so this instruction video is really useful to understand all the way.
I`ve always rinsed the equipement and bottles to get rid of the foam. Never had a problem with it! But then again I`ve haven`t brewd for long!
Finally a great diy beer brewing video. not so complicated. It seems to me not adding the yeast to the wart would make a non alcoholic beer yes or no? again. what a really good job! i watched to the end. and think I have got it.
thank you for your introducing ! .
So, i will do home brewing when i'm home .. because ~~~~```
Excellent tutorial
Brewing was always my dream 😊
This was strangely satisfying to watch
Amazing !!!
Love the posters in the background. Surly Darkness, one of my favorites (not as good as barrel aged 10, but damn good)!
I'm late to this game, but very very interested and excited to get my first kit. I went through all the recipes and Caribou Slobber sounded great. Look what y'all are brewing in this video!
Thank you for this video. Makes the brewing process clearer.
Thanks for the explanation. Very informative! I just bought a starter kit from your company. Will be buying everything in the future on your site. Been interested in home brewing for a long time. I will come back to my comment here when everything is complete and after I have had the first beer. Thanks!
Hey man, lmk if this process is cheaper than buying beer instead.
@@gilbertbaez9474 My startup cost was around 330 dollars for everything I need plus having two batches going at the same time. Each batch will yield 48 bottles of beer. (4) 24 packs of beer. This price can be as low as $25 for 48 bottles of beer or could be much higher depending on what kind of beer you wish to brew. Of course, I'm buying kits at the moment. A little over 50 cents per beer. Costs could be cut further if you move to all grain and doing the malting process yourself. Though this upgrade is a substantial investment. Must also look at what type of beer you produce. I'm making craft Ales. A lot more that 50 cents a beer if you can find it at a store or a craft brewery that has a bar. Currently the cheapest crap I can think of (Busch Light) is 75 cents a can. Though comparing the watered-down bland beers many Americans drink with a good craft brew could be considered a sin...it is noteworthy. If you like and don't mind cheap beer, then you could probably just continue to buy it and it wouldn't be much different in cost. If you like good craft beer, interested in learning and drinking your own beer for a substantial discount, then it's totally worth it.
My kit is out for delivery!!!!!!!!
How was the beer?
I haven't made my own beer exclusively for the last 12 years and I like the very strong dark German type and after a make it I do refrigerate it for a week but before I drink it or like to let it sit out on the counter and warm up a bit because I like to drink it closer to room temperature about 72 degrees or a couple degrees colder I don't like it right out of the refrigerator and just seems to taste better when it starts to warm up a little bit I am very happy with the process and everything they say is spot-on the most important thing is to make sure everything is very sanitized because if you don't you'll get what's known as bitter beer and it will make you sick
Mike, if you like your beer at cellar temp, high 60’s to low 70’s, try less carbonation on your next batch. I lived in England for several years and loved the cellar temp ales. What I noticed is they also didn’t have as high a carbonation as American beers. When I brew an ale for cellar temp drinking I use less carbonation and prefer it.
The most informative video I’ve seen out of maybe 25 !!!! Good job and thanx for the schooling !
Really classy and concise presentation.
Thank you so very much. I learned so, so much watching this keen video.
I am a real Beer Lover-
60 ppl can't make mac and cheese
i disliked cuz this vid literally teaches you nothing beyond the instructions on the kit.
i don't want to get a kit. i want to make beer from scratch all by myself. i expected an instruction on how to make the malt extract and everything else.
this video is shit
@@KaelDenna Sorry you feel that way. You can replicate this process with all sorts of other supplies/ingredients sourced from other places. Are you looking for help making beer from extract syrup or from all grains? We likely can help point you to a proper video if we know more.
Great video
BEER.....The breakfast of champions!
+ARCSTREAMS I kindly refer to beers as .... Cold Barley Soup (whether they contain barley or not :)
Yeah I can’t wait that long.
Thanks for the excellent 101! Started homebrewing a few months ago and my 3rd batch is brewing now. My 4th batch will be far better thanks to your 101. Thanks.
Thank you so much I'm going to get started brewing my own beer ,I am going to call it Honey Badger 🍺
XLNT presentation.
Good video.
Now I'll have to get me a cold one after watchting this video and listen to my favorite bands Delta Parole and GNR.
The yeast at the bottom of the fermenter can be used to make bread with a very unique flavor.
lionharehart how?
So easy, a chemistry professor can do it!
No more Budweiser for me. Well for have not had beer for a while. Gonna get me some now!
i cant wait 2 weeks im thirsty NOW ! lol
Chat GPT gave me a recipe for a stout with a lasting creamy head if anyone wants to try it.
Sure, here is a recipe for a home brew stout with a creamy lasting head:
Ingredients:
6 lbs Dark Dry Malt Extract
1 lb Roasted Barley
1 lb Crystal Malt (80L)
1 lb Flaked Barley
1 oz Chinook hops
1 oz Willamette hops
1 package Irish Ale yeast
3/4 cup Priming Sugar
Instructions:
Steep the Roasted Barley and Crystal Malt in 2 gallons of water at a temperature of 155°F for 30 minutes.
Remove the grains and add the Dark Dry Malt Extract and Flaked Barley to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the Chinook hops and boil for 60 minutes.
Add the Willamette hops and boil for another 10 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and cool the wort to 70°F.
Transfer the wort to a sanitized fermenting vessel and pitch the Irish Ale yeast.
Ferment the beer for 2 weeks at a temperature of 65°F.
Transfer the beer to a bottling bucket and add the priming sugar.
Bottle the beer and let it condition for 2-3 weeks at room temperature.
Chill the beer in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving.
To achieve a creamy, lasting head, make sure to pour the beer slowly and steadily into a clean, dry glass, leaving about an inch of headspace at the top. The head will be more likely to stick around if the glass is clean and free of any oils or residues.
Awesome. We've run a few of these through the bot too and had decent if not fairly amusing results!
@@NorthernBrewerTV is it worth trying them as a novice do you think?
A friend sent me this video who is interested in starting to brew. I have to say, this is a pretty decent video for beginners!
This is the first video I seen where it's OK to use tap water.
My opinion, that's what makes your beer/whiskey unique.
Many people do all sorts of things to water, but in the end if it tastes good it should make good beer. Can you go bonkers with all sorts of water chemistry and additions, sure. Will it make better beer, probably? But personally I don't do anything to my water, except sometimes in the summer Saint Paul water can get a slight chlorine-y taste to it. I just collect my brew water a day early in a clean bucket and hit it a Campdem tablet to clean that up.
Great video - really well thought out, cheers
Amazing!
This made me appreciatte beer very much.I will definitely try to make my own beer at home.
Question: Is there any reason I cannot add a gallon of cold water to the pot (adding it to the wort) during the ice bath to help it cool faster? I'm going to add water anyway once I transfer it to the fermenter, so it seems like it wouldn't matter.....?
That’s a hell of a home kitchen
Wish that was my home kitchen! That was in the teaching classroom brewery area of our former Minneapolis store. :)
@@NorthernBrewerTV oh I see. Lol. The title of the video tricked me!
Can you please also make a vedio on carbonation, that's where the problem arise of TPO if not done effectively
whats that intro song love it ha
What do you call a product to make the beer foam whiter?
durring the fermentation or bottle storage time you mentioned it being in a room temp of 68 degrees. Will there be a negative effect if it were stored at 76 degrees? I dont have the ability to store it at 68 degrees
"Croison is good." My #1 takeaway
If your Brew Kettle is just a stainless steel type pot can you just dump the Wort from the stainless steel into your fermenter or is it better to use an auto siphon from your from your stainless steel Brew Kettle to bring the beer into the fermenter
I look this up because I really enjoy a good beer and would like to make it on my own but would really like to know if this is cheaper than buying your favorite market brand beers from shelf? Bud light!
Now, if you are putting it into a sanke keg instead of bottles, is the priming solution the same?
im curious to know how much it cost him per bottle great video thanks
5:55 I remember as well how I was just sitting and just watching for 1 hour how my wort was boiling on my first beer hahaha
Homebrewing: The Hobby of Hurry Up and Wait! :)
What is the solution for airlock stopper coming off the carboy when inserted to ferment?
Both carboy and airlock stopper have to be sanitized so obviously they are both wet. Do you dry them off and how? Or you use something else to hold the stopper down?
Hi
I have been brewing at home for almost 8 months.. fermentation would usually last 17 - 19 days.. remember in desert our summer is pretty harsh with temperature touching 50 degrees celsius... But today on December 14, it was 9 degrees c and 2 c was night temperature last night.. this morning although it's the tenth day and I noticed that fermentation is almost over...
Would this be due to colder temperature that fermentation has stopped quicker almost half time then summer?
Or, previously I always brewed 10 liters and added 10 grams of yeast sachet while this time it is 20 liters and still the same amount of yeast (10 g pack) would the more amount be the reason for fermentation to stop earlier?
@NorthernBrewerTV what is the final alcohol content of this brew?
I wanted to get this for my husband for Father’s Day, but if we’re being honest, I’d be the one doing all the work and idk that I want to take that on 🤪 I’m also trying to reduce my waste output (hence looking into home brewing versus buying and throwing out cans/bottles)... can you reuse the bottles and caps and other supplies??
When you were doing the sanitation in the fermenter you didn't rinse out the sanitatizer is this ok?
"Don't squeeze the bag".
There are people squeezing the bag, and people lying :D
Is the sanitizing solution OK to mix with the beer? Seems a bit nasty to drink that.
This is literally the same script that Mike Dawson used like 3 years ago...right down to the mac and cheese bit.
SMH
Jamie Thacker If it's not broke...
who cares its a great video......
Paula Halbedl, I guess some people care because it's stole content and not credited to the person they stole it from? Would you care if someone stole and was selling something you were the original creator of?
I used the whole bag of sugar for bottling and mixed it but create too much carbonation. is there a calculator for how much to use depending on the beer type? i wish the recipe would tell you how much too use.
Hello! Fantastic video. Which sanitizer product do you use?
Thank you!
+Alex G I'm not sure, but I know restaurants have food safe concentrated sanitizers that they dilute with water and you don't rinse it off. Hopefully that helps you find an answer, even though it won't be the exact one he used.
www.morebeer.com/articles/sanitizingmethods
please what type of sanitizer used?
Dont fear the foam... LOL 😂
boil over at 7:33 was entirely too satisfying
I just bought the deluxe Northern Brewer home brewing kit. I have been using a 1-gallon carboy so I'm excited to generate a larger yield! I just started a UA-cam channel as well to document my journey! Any feedback would be great.
i fell asleep like a baby right on 4 minute mark 😁
4:40 Whoa! Put the open jug of extract underwater? I think you meant closed jug, right?
💜
I'm just glad to see these guys making videos again. Yeah, they may not be what they used to be, but keep it up and they'll get better.
I dont know man" seems like such an ordeal and then you have to let it set for a few weeks..of course theres that satisfaction that you made it yourself, but then there's a satisfaction if you drive to the store and buy it you could have it then and right there.
Hi, gr8 vid... thanks. How much dry yeast do I need to put n2 20 L (4.4g) ? I am looking for a 4-5% and I have put in malt and 2 and a half cups of sugar
One 11g packet of dry yeast should be sufficient to ferment that wort/sugar combo.
Hi ....we don't get STAR SAN here in India. I was recommended Iodine solution 1 Tea Spoon in 1 Litre of water. Any clue if that works? What other generic sanitiser can one use? I've seen some videos using VODKA also!!
Do we need to add soap to the batch?
What ratio you used sir in every ingredients ?
Great video...thanks! I have to ask though - what kind of freaking box mac and cheese do you buy!? Ha ha
" the Spice must flow ... " !!!
anyone got the name of the song at the beginning?
I am watching you in 2022 from Southeast Asia and wonder if you're to be available in any store in Thailand or Vietnam.
Sorry, at the moment we aren't available in any retail outside of our own stores in the U.S.
hi, I need an answer. I guess your fermantation process was finished at your first 5 gallon bucket (your FG: 1010) . but you take your beer to secondary bottle. why did you do that? if your fermantation process is finished (if your fg is 1010) why do you take all beer to any other bottle and wait more time...? thanks.
Beeeeeeer!!!
in terms of cost of ingredients, how much is the cost per bottle of beer? thanks
About 50p or 30 cents
Cheaper
yas beer!!!
