I survived Y2K. When do I get my dough?
And the world's largest asch conformity test of 2021.....
You might have failed or passed the test but you survived it.
:)
Cheers and much love to all!
This made me laugh out loud. I had to go back to check that I heard it correctly 😅
Dude, the saying goodbye montage at the end had me rolling 😂😂😂. Great video!
CH I'm glad you're back
anytime a dark lager is on the menu I am getting one! glad to see you back up and brewing, keep the dark lager grain to glass vids coming!
Lol. Love it. Perfect brew days are rare
Great vlog very informative and funny 👍
That thumbnail friggin kills
😘
Love your creative editing and dry wit. I always learn a lot while laughing my ass off. Keep making these great videos!
Love dark lagers!!!! Dark lagers 4 Life!!! Cheers Braj and thanks for the shout out!!!
Great video braj. Cheers 🍺🍺
Man, I gotta have that...doing it for sure! Do IT!

Cheers from Knoxville!
Braj....been no chilling for anything dark or hazy cause there's a tad of chill haze....its great man....beer comes out great!!! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Absolute top tier content
Gotta love Ferment Station!!
Correct!
Man oh Man, So nice to see you Brewing Again !!!!!!!!
As an Aussie, this was wild for me to hear an American guy say glad wrap! Love it.
Huh? We’ve had glad wrap out here since as long as I can remember.
As a kiwi, i've only ever heard folk from the USA call it Seran wrap so also genuinely surprised here :D
@@olivercreed interesting. Might be a regional thing. They spam glad wrap commercials here in Nebraska.
@@nrhurley117 I always hear Seran wrap, but maybe it is a regional thing?
They're just brands of plastic wrap.
my first 2.5 yers into homebrewing - I never chilled - I was pitching tommorow morning. Every batch was ok
Your videos are the freggin best, I'm glad you are still making them.
Another entertaining video CH, love it! I've been do no chill for a couple of years now. An added bonus to no chill is you can pull a liter of wort from the boil kettle, chill it down, pitch your yeast and let the starter pull an "all nighter" while the wort is chillin.......keep up the good work
Dude thats genius!
What method do you chill the starter with?
Just decided to try this myself since I was watching this during a brew with an expired packet. I put a tiny immersion chiller I had laying around into a tall narrow pot (from what I gather they call them asparagus steamers but I got it unlabeled from the thrift store) and it took a little wedging but it cooled very quickly and I split the packet between the starter and my fermentation vessel.
I chilled normally but I was given a bunch of expired packets to use and want to start a yeast bank so this should really streamline both processes into a regular brew.
@@ffwast i throw the flask in a small bucket of ice water to chill it... nothing crazy
@@hoodyhood8234 Ah, I don't have borosilicate erlenmeyer flasks but I do have a perfectly sized miniature pot and chiller. I'm probably in the minority on that one but I'm loving this new addition to my process.
Fuggin classic! I was rolling
Lol, great video my dude. Now I'm inspired to brew a dark lager.
Dry yeast will outlive you and me in the freezer and I'm a 100% dry yeast guy these days. You might check your local grocery store for distilled water, mine carries it for about $1/gal. You might also see if you can find someplace with a water dispenser for filling the 5-gallon plasic carboys. Those dispense R.O. water which is what a lot of commercial breweries use. They also have one of those machines in my local grocery, there's also drive up kiosk thing that dispenses ice and water that dispenses R.O. water into your plastic carboys. It's relatively cheap too. A good video. Cheers!
Cheers to eating good cheers to drinking good. Subscribed

Chrono trigger music was on point 👌
Nice catch!
I love this channel. Got some really good tips thanks!!
What a rollercoaster of emotions braaj!
THANK YOU WATSON!!
Awesome video! Entertaining as always, cheers!
Underrated UA-cam content creator. Keep up the good work big dog!
Appreciate it!
Mom and Pop saw you coming a mile away 😂
Aussie brewer here. I almost always no chill wort. Easiest way is to transfer hot, straight into a HDPE plastic cube. HDPE plastic can handle 100°c/212°f or more. Then it's pasteurised and ready when you are. I've left wort for months in the plastic cube before pitching into a fermenter and had no infections.
Beer looked great CH. Cheers mate.
Can you send me a link? Thx!
Not sure where you can get sonething like thus in the states but I buy from brew shops or hardware stores. Fill them to the top and squeeze all the air out. As long as it's above pasteurisation temp, you're good.
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE I msg you on instagram. It won't let me share links in YT comments.
Congrats on the 40k!
These edits! Love seeing you brewing again Braj!!! 👍🏻
Alice from the Brady Bunch had a thing with Sam the butcher. The Beastie Boys even made that a lyric on "Paul's Boutique". Like "Sam the butcher giving Alice the meat!". Good vid!
I know these grain-to-glass videos are hard to make, but its great for people like me who barely understand to see the process 30 times with different recipes. I pick up a little knowledge each time.
Love the fermentation station it's best brew store in Knoxville 👍
haha, so much going on. the sadness at minute 7:00.... next level dude! you should get into writing movies!
Great vid!!!
I tried the no boil method a couple times in a corny keg fermenter under pressure and it worked great. Dumped the wort after boil into a clean keg, purged it with co2, left it outside (during winter) and in the morning it was at around 86F. It was still a little hot but I had kveik so it was perfect. Then of course I went under pressure and it took around 3 days and I had great beer. 🍻
Your editing is TOP NOTCH!!!
I need to brew a dark lager. Cheers Braj!
Thanks for the video CH.. been using the distilled water for the last 3 or 4 beers. Getting it at Walmart for about $1.20 a gallon
Dude this was a GREAT video.
🍻
Man, here is your sign, get your butt motivated! Cmon, join me... shooting for a black IPA
Y2K. Man that was a rough time. All 'puters quit workin'. Planes fell from skies. All money in the world was lost...wait. Dude I freakin' hate when I forget about Starsan being in my keg.
There’s nothing that hits like a slump-buster batch. You have a couple batches that don’t work out, then you finally nail one.
'Just for shits and giggles'
Great Australian phrase. You're alright 😊
Glad I'm not the only one that makes dumb mistakes. Thanks for your honesty.
I didn't realize how much I missed these videos until today. I finally feel like being again!
🍻 💯
I really meant "feel like brewing again" but these videos definitely help my being too, both are equally valid
Split batch heartbreak vs perfection! Cheers man, glad the system is working out good for you!
Me too! 🍻 ❤️
I always liked your videos and I learned a few tricks that helped me tremendously in my home brewing. I also use the no-chill method ( as you know in SOCAL water can be scarce) and is perfect if you ferment in corny kegs with spunding valves. Usually, the wort will cool down overnight inside and will temp in the high 70's mid80s Degrees F perfect pitch for kveik yeast. Reserve and chill some wort after brew day in the fridge and you can prep a starter for the following morning.
Urkel makes you a 28deg Dark Czech. 34/70 makes you a Schwarzbier. You win either way. :D
CH! Dude, you are so close to 40K subs...I don't know if any of the other brewers on YT are near that. Ya, 5 mos for Liquid yeast is probably a bridge too far - I would have made a starter to check. This approach is why you have 40K subs...you brew for the little guy, no super premium gear, you make it fun, and you impart good knowledge while doing it...major kudos, Braj!
Diggin the vids, Papa-Georgio. A dark lager is the perfect midday snack. PROST.
Digging the edit. I love the thought of your neighbors wondering what the hell your doing posing on your porch, especially in this type of weather ✊🏾✊🏾.
Never stop stopping! 🍻
Nice video Braj!
Cheers Jaggers!
Lotion next to the couch?! My man's living dangerously 🤣
Awesome to see you back brewing again. My brother and I never chill our beer anymore after boil, we rack to SS fermenter and let cool overnight then pitch yeast next day. RDWHAHB!
So happy to see these videos back braj! Missed ya and love the vid!
Great video ,thanks. I have been into raw ale for a long time. I honestly can not remember the last time I boiled my wort. I do a 1 hour mash and always hit 1050 sg. while mashing I make a hop tea in 2 liters of hot water using the same amount of hops as when boiling. It gets added at sparge. Cooling is faster due to no boil,and cleaning is so much easier. Gonna try no cooling on the next beer. Its plenty cold here in Holland so it should work. Next experiment is with a dry Irish stout with juniper added to the hop tea. Greetings..
Most underrated channel on the Tube
Saúde, seu NO CHILL foi profissional do cervejeiro caseiro! Muito bom, também faço assim!
💯
Hands down best brewing channel on the internet!!!
What an emotional roller coaster. I’ll be honest, I’m Australian and I do the lazy man wort chill that consists of dumping hot wort into my fermenter and chucking it in the fridge until it’s at pitching temp. I’ve never had a batch go bad yet. One day I’ll save up the funds for a wort chiller.
I feel your pain on losing half of a batch. I lost an entire batch due to multiple compounded errors that I hopefully will never make again. The killer was leaving the blowoff valve dunked in sanitizer while cold crashing. Negative pressure drop caused all the sanitizer plus a bunch of air to suck back into the keg.
Also lost a half batch due to a split evabarrier line ( got pinched in the fridge door and I didn't notice ). This one was bad because I had 5 gallons of beer spritzed all over the inside of my fridge and running into my garage, etc. Took hours to clean up, double sadness beer + time loss.
😔
Seems like I need some dark lager in my life! Distilled water doesn't seem to be a thing in the UK unless you're using it to top up your car battery, so will have to make do with regular bottled water. Love the videos, keep up the good work mate. Cheers!
I was worried you were out of the brewing video business, so glad you are not. Thank you!
Glad you got the itch to brew again. Entertaining as always!
Lol seems like every brew day I make some dumb mistake. Glad I’m not the only one 😂
My life motto; focus on the beers that are here 🍻
💯
The maid from The Brady bunch was hooking up with the town butcher
Enjoyed the new content and glad the beer turned out well! Missing some MBC
Damn dude that beer lookin good. And yo distilled, spring, and RO are all good options. I’d use spring water when you’re not adding salts 🤘🏼🍻
I'll look into that, cheers Dan!
Tried two brews this way. First was just the same as always ( fermentation taste ) second time I had a fermentation stop at 2.1% abv. I think that if the wort has to stand too long
while cooling the oxygen content can drop. Bought an aquarium air pump with lava stone. Aerated the wort for 5 minutes and 4 hours later its fermenting again. Next time I will aerate
just before pitching the yeast.Hopefully problem solved. Still a great way to save water.
you can also move that big oring around until it seals. Just keep trying and spray some sudsy starsan on the openings as it pressures up. If you bought a used keg from a merchant of any sort they do test them before shipping. So its gotta seal. Also, there can be different methods for closing the lid that can cause "imperfect contact". Just ask the Matt Damon dude from Interstellar.
Totally on board with the dark lagers! 😎
Dude, welcome to the midwest winter blahs- but seriously my opinion is best time to brew is in the winter
Yeah i love brewing in the cold
fire video man!
Inspired me to brew a dark lager for my next brew:) Looking forward to the next hb4 life video!
Glad to see you back with a new video, and inspired to brew more beers!! I love your stuff dude the day you stop would a sad day. Also, new intro is WILD I love it.
Cheers!!!!!!
In the UK we have kerbside RO water dispensers run by a company called Spotless Water. They’re used by window cleaners and mobile car washers. I just grab 40l or so in a couple of Jerry cans a few days before I’m planning to brew, costs me less than £2. Also great for making up StarSan as it doesn’t go cloudy.
Hahaha the lotion shot when talking about the brewtubers 😂 Another hilarious and fun video! Glad to see you back up and brewing and now I am thirsty for a dark lager
Hows it going in Norway?
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Going well! Turned my basement into a small batch commercial brewery and soon selling beers. Been an interesting ride in a country with such strict conservative alcohol regulations 😅
Knowing you are in Knoxville now, go hit Xul and grab a ORLOJ or NIGHTMAN COMETH at Albright Grove. Both Dark Czech Lagers and excellent. I live right down the road from Ferment Station and have been homebrewing for over 20 years at this point. Would love to xatch up with ya! Been watching the channel for a LOOOONG time! Some of the best Brew Tube content out there!
I cut my boil hops by ~75% for no chill and it’s still pretty harsh. But, it saves a lot of cleaning and time.
I love no chill brewing. Easy going, go with the flow. I challenge you to try no boil!
Long time no brew! I thought you were just getting old busting out the licorice allsorts and watching Matlock on a repeat loop. Good to see you back at it!
I just had my first dark lager a few weeks ago. I'm a fan. Good stuff.
Awesome intro ! Cheers Braj 🍻🍻
Great video. Quick question: why do you cool and pitch in your kettle, instead of hot transfer to the kegs (sanitizing them in the process), and then split your pitch between the kegs?
Was really hoping for an MBC not really sure what to do with my beer now..
Funny seeing you out in the snow! Last brew I did I opened the windows in my brew room and left the mesh bag with the hops in the wort until it got down to 70f, from 210f. Took about 6 hours. I finally emptied the yeast out of my keg fermenters that I had been reusing for a year and a half, had about 2.5 gallons worth.
If you're going to be using distilled water only why not get a water distiller? Or make a pressure cooker still "just for water"
I'm definitely down to get a distiller
Great video I’m in a new place and haven’t brewed in a while, this is giving me that itch to start agakn
Dark lagers and ales are my favorites. I've brewed many with Schwarzbeir being in my top 3. Cheers
Those 8 minutes felt like 2. Crackin' vid. Black ipa's are becoming massive this side of the pond.
Love black IPAs!
Great to see you brewing again CH! I too brew on a Clawhammer 120V system and love it. I’ve brewed your dark lager before-FIRE!
Good stuff!
The new intro is awesome 👌
Nice! I love dark lager.
Great video appreciate the work you put into them
I just brewed two raw ales... no boil, no chill, no problems... well I hope that's the case, they are still fermenting...
ballsy! (but I like it)
Great content 👌 I am watching you from the beginning and you have learn a lot, and it shows. Keep going....!
I appreciate that!
