im tempted to try one of these kits now. should have called it Bin Juice to go with Elvis Juice and for that bit of extra gross factor when your wife asks what you're drinking "ah just a bit of my bin juice dear"
You have some determination and patience for such a small amount ...... then again i was enthusiastic like that 15 years ago however upgrades mean i now use a 110 litre boiler when making my beer to make the time and effort more worthwhile . you steaming past and moving on to brewery phase congrats and well done
Big fan of Robbie. Been a fan of Lloyd since I saw him at the Edinburgh fringe in 2017. This is two worlds colliding, all surrounding my favourite beverage - beer. Sipping an Elvis Juice wishing it was a Bin Day IPA as we speak. 🍺
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned the order of tasting as being relevant but it can make a difference especially if you drink a stronger (or stronger tasting) beer first.
@@RobbieKnox Not an expert, was just advised to drink in order weak to strong at a beer tasting event and we were only tasting 50 ml or so of each beer. Something to cleanse the palate is probably what's required - bread? mild cheese? It's an interesting thing once you realise it though - if out for a few beers would you enjoy the third beer more if you'd tasted it first?
@@RobbieKnox Try carbonated water. It's a common thing "on the continent" when drinking coffee, something to cleanse the palate after/between if you're doing a tasting session.
Hey good on you for making your own beer. A word of warning - what starts as a simple hobby can turn into a bit of an obsession. Before you know it you can find yourself studying the difference between two piece and three piece stainless valves, swapping car engines for kegs off a keg delivery driver, and learning how to tune proportional-integral-derivative controllers for your shiny new electric-heat-exchanged-recirculating-mash brewery. Or so I've heard 😂 top tip: you only need to sanitise everything that comes in contact with post-boil wort. So no need to sanitise the scissors until you're using them to cut the yeast packet.
I do a fair bit of brewing, one thing I would recommend is buying some Starsan sanitiser. It seems expensive but a bottle will last you years. You can put it in a spray bottle just mist it over everything and within seconds you're good to go with no rinsing. If you get some litmus paper to check the PH is within the tolerance you can even reuse it a few times. It takes the pain out of the boring part of brewing.
Amazing, thanks. I had heard this but found it hard to get Starsan the UK currently, so got Chemsan which seemed similar. Not sure if you know anything about that? It seemed fairly expensive too!
I don't know much about Chemsan, but looks very similar. I'm in the UK too, seems like starsan has pulled out of Europe. I bought it so long ago I can't remember where from, still got most of a bottle left haha. Congrats on your first brew by the way, looks like it came out great! Doing a proper mash for a first brew too 👍
good start to a great hobby, I'ee been brewing for 4-5 years so i remember how confusing the process is when first starting out. my best advice is to read books about the brewing process. Either way good job mate
Enjoyed this brewing video. Onwards and upwards when it comes to brewing! Did you find it difficult to control the fermentation temperature, since it looks like you just let it sit in the shed?
It was under the stairs rather than in a shed so I think it was a fairly constant temperature. Either way I'm amazed it produced drinkable, if a bit overly carbonated, beer.
How does it carbonate Robbie. Maybe a dumb question but I haven't a clue. I thought home brew was flat booze and that's why have never bothered with it but yours looked well fizzy.
I personally don’t drink beer, hate maths and I’m fed up of sanitising after all of this virus but with a zest of Robbie Knox I sat happily for 22 perfect minutes, nice one Robbie 👍🏻
Sorry rob I only just got a chance to watch this. My bad. Anyways great video. Very interesting stuff. What alcohol percentage would you say that was? Very lively I noticed. Bin day ipa is a great name. Cheers.
I have the same kit but Punk IPA, I could follow the instructions so I’m really glad you’ve done this Robbie! Can’t wait to get mine started now. Also, yours looked like the much better beer aswell, it actually kept its head in the glass whereas the Elvis Juice didn’t. Nice one 👌🏻
Is that an IDLES tee that Lloyd is wearing under that hoodie? If so - big fan! P.S. Great video as always Robbie, hope you and the family are all keeping well :)
Strangely I know exactly what you mean about liking do things with maths and numbers. Another brilliant and interesting video. Well sparged Robbie absolutely fantastic. I reckon you need to get yourself a soda stream and add a little fizz. I don't like flat booze.
Might not matter for the type of sanitiser you got with the kit, but watch out for old sanitiser no longer doing its job. I learned the hard way with a string of infected batches that starsan is cheap but it's best to mix up a new batch every time.
I loved your content and will follow your brewing adventure. I grow my own hops for my future adventure of brewing my own beer. Within four years I striving to have about 400 hop plants.
@@RobbieKnox hehe yeah! They can climb up to 6 to 8 meters depending on what hops you grow. I grow an old Swedish heritage from the 1700th century called Korsta Swe 25. I could send you a fresh package next season for your future brewing adventure.
Glad to see you threw the whole grapefruit in there. That was my main question the Brooklyn Brew Shop instructions don't tell you. To me their instructions "squeeze Grapefruit and add it to the boil" have thee possibilities: 1) you squeeze the juice from the grapefruit and add the juice to the boil 2) you squeeze the juice from the grapefruit and add the squeezed juiceless grapefruit to the boil. 3) you squeeze the juice from the grapefruit and add both the juice and remaining grapefruit, peel, pith and flesh to the boil. I felt #3 was correct, glad you did too. Peel likely does more for the flavor than juice. I can't really see throwing away the peel. I could imagine throwing away the juice, but only slightly. As for the volcano... too much priming sugar? It seems to me when I run the priming sugar calculations that the 3 Tbs that BBS recommends for all their recipes is a tad much. I used 2 Tbs for another of their brews and still had plenty of carbonation. Or do you think that maybe only two weeks of ferment wasn't enough to finish the ferment?
How to stop the volcanic eruption when opening the bottle? My first batch did this with all of them apart from 3.. I put it down to too much priming sugar (honey) so this time round I'm gojng to use less! Any ideas?
@@RobbieKnox Well worth it mate! I got 2 25 litre fermentation vessels, all budget kit, never test for percentage and keep it all simple. Never made a bad beer yet! Made a dodgy cider once tho! 🤣
Commercial brewer here. Smashing job for your first attempt. Great name too! You pretty much got everything spot on. The excess foaming after you popping the crown off is either an effect of bottle conditioning or if the bottles were not sanitised before filling with beer you probably have an infection which you wouldn’t detect (by nose or taste) until later on in the bottled beer’s life. Pretty sure BD actually use a Grapefruit flavouring in their mass produced version.
Thanks Simon, that's very kind! I did sanitise the bottles but may well not have done it properly! I can definitely see the attraction of brewing and will be upgrading my equipment soon for batch 2!
Nice video, it shows that brewing is not that difficult. But: There's no need to sterilize everything before AFTER the boiling. And put the grains inside the bag next time. Maybe adding a bigger kettle, and off you go. :-)
@@RobbieKnox No damage done! :-) It's nice to see people experimenting. Making a really nice all-grain beer on very, very basic equipment is within the reach for most people. The brewing hobby is too often turning into an equipment bonanza. We still brew our 50 l batches on a homemade kit, made from cheap, old, repurposed and/or second-hand parts. All manual, no electronics. Rugged and simple.
Forget the honey. Use dextrose. There are charts and maths’y bits online that tell you how much to use based on volume, temperature and amount of cO2 required. It’s more precise and less volcanic. Oh and stir it carefully so it’s evenly distributed through the beer
You should try and make kombucha! Its a project that once you start the process can literally continue for centuries, its also super good for you as there are probiotics & good bacteria (you can also flavour it with whatever you want)
To be fair if I had to draw a picture of a man who made his own beer, u would be the exact stretch I'd draw. I'm surprised you haven't had sheds full of equipment for making ales since birth. I enjoyed your video while heartedly as always
I agree a modern hipster brewer would have a long but incredibly neat beard and checked top and meaningless pocket watch tattoos tattoos shown on his constantly rolled up sleeve. In my head you look like a brewer of 20years ago, you drive a datsun, and sometimes can be found in corduroy brown trousers. Well in my head anyway. Anyway. Awesomeness as usual.
Hello Robbie, loved the video. We reckon you'd have even better results with one of our all in one brewing systems! Fancy helping us show the world how easy it is to make fantastic beer at home? We'd love to see what happens when you get your hands on one of our brewing systems.
Hi Hopcat! I'd absolutely love to! I'm keen to make the next step to becoming the greatest brewer on earth, and your stuff looks great! Want to email me? hello@drylunch.com Thanks!
Apparently in the early days the fermentation can be very bubbly, so you can end up with beer getting into the airlock if you put it straight on. But I'm no expert so someone else might correct me on this.
Robbie Knox good shout, I didn’t know the beer gets pretty lively for a couple of days. I bet this heat didn’t help it. I got my Step Father the Punk IPA kit can’t wait until it’s ready. It only made 5 bottles the 6th exploded overnight while bottle conditioning.
This was a very interesting video, good luck in your future beer endeavours. You shall have to let us know if you find get a good flavour for the beer 🍺
I wonder why the instructions asked you to use the tube and not just the airlock from the beginning of the fermentation. That way you wouldn't need to have an open bowl of sanitizer laying about.
I think the reason the Grapefruit taste never came through is because I think Brew Dog use red grapefruits, which I think are a bit juicier and stronger, which also is why the colour is different.
Robbie Knox looks like a chuckle brother that's been cast for trainspotting.
Both equally important British cultural institutions.

What was the % alcohol? Maybe I missed it. Love a bit of Elvis Juice, great video 😎
It's a mystery to be honest. The Bin Day IPA is full of mystery.
It is an hydrometer not a thermometer, used for measuring specific gravity, aka how much sugar is present to be turned into alcohol.
The thing I was putting in the beer? It’s definitely a thermometer. I’ve bought a hydrometer too, but the thing I had definitely measured temperature.
@@RobbieKnox The thing you took out the box at the beginning was a hydrometer but you called it a thermometer.
i had one of these kits a few years ago, real good, mine didn't taste of punk IPA but it was good regardless
Lovely name for a beer.
Is this part of legal action you’re bringing?
Robbie Knox you’ll be hearing from my lawyers
Dominic Barry Lawyers plural. Sounds serious...
I'm going to have to give this a go! Cheers Robbie.
Why did you use the tube and bowl of water instead of the air trap you left on the side in the background?
Apparently in the early days the fermentation can be very bubbly, so you can end up with beer getting into the airlock if you put it straight on. But I'm no expert so someone else might correct me on this.

Was going to try this at home without a kit but now I have watched this yeh I’m not up for it that much anymore

I think the reason the Grapefruit taste never came through is because I think Brew Dog use red grapefruits, which I think are a bit juicier and stronger, which also is why the colour is different.
Great knowledge. Plus I just kind of threw it in.
