I brew small batches because I like brewing and I like to brew often.I am a bit of a loner but the friends I have are not interested in brewing so I always brew alone and clean up while I go + I made my own brewing gear (industrial electrician regularly working with PID controllers) from stuff the company I work for was throwing out, I do need to start kegging though as I hate bottling

These tips help avoid the painful and frustrating mistakes and "aw sh*t" moments so that I don't have to go through the wasted time, energy, money, and frankly morale that these guys did learning. Before the internet, I would have had to know a friend or know a guy who knows a guy that homebrews to get this level of advice, and otherwise I'd have to make the same mistakes.

I disagree with the bottling thing! I bought a load of dark coloured swing top bottles, you just rinse them out when you've drank one then stick them all to one side ready for your next batch. Then straight into the dishwasher, without a tablet (to avoid soap suds). Cleaned and sterilie in one go. And the great thing with bottles is you can fit them in your fridge 😉

Great advice guys. It was a little unsettling to see Maury sans vest at the end but we will all survive. Understandable with the MBC can't get that vest beer soaked. The clean as you go advice is key to enjoying the brew Day more especially brewing solo as for a beginner it is crazy just how much and how important cleaning is. Other good tip is to find used mini fridges and freezers to make fermenting chambers and keezers with. Pair these with an InkBird controller and an aquarium heater (for the fermentation chamber) it is amazing how consistent and high quality home brew is possible. Half the fun for me with home brewing is the DYI systems but being an engineer who got to work in the brewing industry it allows me to tinker. Great video as usual CH.

What do you mean calibrate your thermometers? Don’t they already come ready to go? How would you even calibrate it or “reset” it?
@imacracker515
@imacracker515 3 жыл бұрын
One way to "calibrate" is put your thermometer in ice slush. It should read 32F or 0C. The "calibration" would be memorizing the offset. For example you put your thermometer in ice slush and it read 35F, the you would subtract 3 degrees from what ever you read when using thermometer. So if you read 155F then you would subtract 3F from that and your reading is actually 152F. Another way is to use boiling water and it should read 212F, but that is much more elevation dependent. I guess though that you could have an offset and/or gain error, in which case calibrating in ice slush and boiling water would tell you. If both ice slush and boiling are offset by the same then good just use an offset. If they are different, then you gonna have to do some different math that I dont feel like going into detail about. Cheers.

I dont think it's good advice to tell people to keg as soon as they hit terminal. I noticed a big improvement in my beers once I actually gave them time to sit and cleanup a little longer. Especially if you dont the like the taste of diacetyl in your hoppy beers.
