Brewing your own beer at home can be done with basic gear. In this video, I show you how to brew beer using a beginner-friendly, all-grain method known as Brew-in-a-Bag (BIAB). This method is a fast, cheap, and easy way to brew homemade beer with minimal equipment.

Oxygen flow meter (rotameter): amzn.to/47Nug8D
Oxygen regulator for disposable oxygen cylinder: amzn.to/3E2ikC9
Airlock: amzn.to/3OYGALH
KETTLE:
Using a stainless-steel pot or kettle with a drain valve is best.
FERMENTER VENT (Airlock):
The vent, or airlock, allows carbon dioxide to escape during fermentation but prevents air from entering into the fermenter. (link above).
OXYGENATION:
For a 5-gallon batch, adding pure oxygen at a flow rate of 1 liter per minute for about 60-90 seconds will provide an adequate oxygen supply (10-15 ppm). A rotameter (link above) will allow you to measure the flow rate of the oxygen.
Aerating wort will provide about 8ppm of oxygen, which is not ideal, but still sufficient.

Add chill water when chilling the wort blew my mind. Great video

@ryanmichaelcarter 11 ай бұрын

Thank you! It’s a great way to chill. It takes a little extra math to make sure the dilution is correct but one of the cheapest ways to do it 🙌

Also potentially disastrous for the beer as the water won’t have been boiled and could easily lead to an infection. Not good practice at all! Sorry…

@ryanmichaelcarter 11 ай бұрын

@@davidjennings1256 it's best practice to sanitize EVERYTHING that touches the wort after the boiling process. For the spoon, bucket, equipment-- use a food-grade sanitizer like StarSan. For the chilling water, boil for about 10 minutes, then cover and chill.

does it suffice if I use a jar for fermenting and pop the lid slightly every day or so? because I haven‘t got anything with a vent

@crushedrighthand3090 10 ай бұрын

If the jar is big enough to make a big enough batch, then yes. As a matter of fact if you tighten the lid totally, and then immediately loosen it to the point that air can escape, the fermentation will produce enough CO2 that it will expel oxygen and keep purging it from the ferment vessel as it ferments. I however, wouldn't waste time with a batch less than 20 liters or 5 gallons. But you do you.

@ryanmichaelcarter 10 ай бұрын

It’d be best to leave the lid slightly loose so the pressure can’t build in the jar
