Good video. Ignore the snide comments below. I heard you apologize during the video for a trivial matter. You shouldn't have to apologize for doing good for other people. Keep up the good work.

This Is the most comprehensive guide for first time brewers that I've watched so far, thank you sooo much.

Finally a noob guide for all grain brewing. Years ago when I first started ag there was very little on youtube that explained ag brewing. You explained every step in detail. Thanks for the video!

Basically I just wanted to say thanks for actually making this video. It's actually very helpful for someone trying to get the basic idea, basically.

Thanks for the great video. You can read all the instructions you want but sometimes it is nice to just watch someone put it all into practice.

From South Africa, and just started home brewing. Thanks for an informative, detailed and down to earth approach to Weiss beer brewing. Ignore negative criticism and personal attacks, if one does not like your contribution, then they should just ignore and move on.

Fantastic video, I'm a newbie, will be preparing my second batch next weekend, bottle my first batch yesterday, and tasted one non carbonated beer. It was interesting! I've found a very rewarding new hobby that I wish I'd learning decades ago!

exceptionally good video. many vlogers and authors out there show off and overcomplicate when talking about all grain brewing. this video perfectly shows how easily it can be achieved. thank you!

I brewed for years, gave it up when I ran out of room and time after a move. Pulled up something to listen/watch while cleaning as a time killer. Wanted to compliment your narrative skills and the overall video. This should be a solid primer for most new AG brewers.

Nice to see a fellow Canadian engineer around, especially one who enjoy making beer. Cheers.

Halfway though the video I was going to mention that you need to discuss sanitation because I've heard of someone ruining a $100 batch of mead by not sanitizing a spoon they used to taste test it. You did a good job of explaining it and showing us the products you used. Subscription well deserved.

As an experienced brewer and knowing everything you talked about, I still found this really enjoyable to watch :D

Very very helpful. Most videos on homebrewing were very fast and they never went into the detail needed to really do this on your own.

This video has eased my mind about moving to all grain

I have to say, this was one of the best, most informative videos on brewing basics that I've watched. I am new to the concept of home brewing and look forward to starting my first batch soon. You covered things that should be mentioned in brewing videos that others haven't. Like the water to grain ratio. Very important, but no one else has mentioned it. Excellent video, Sir. You've earned yourself a subscriber!

Thanks great information! Its amazing when people don't ASSUME and solid concrete information is given.

Liked your video very much-Thanks! I have done some extract brewing 25 years ago, but wanted to get back into it now that all grain brewing ingredients are so readily available. Bought a book, but much of it made no sense until I watched this video. Now I might have to read the book again since I understand much of what i didn't before. Thanks again!

I am several beers in, but man what a great video. Appreciate the time you put into this, and thank you for it.

Excellent video! I am on my 7th batch of home brew, 5th batch all grain but it's been over two years since my last batch and the refresher was great and this would also be an excellent video for someone who wants to get into all grain brewing and wants to see what it's all about.

been brewing for a few years now but have stuck with extract, now I am moving on up to all grain and I have been watching a ton of videos and reading up. I just want to let you know this is by far one of the best videos I have seen so far, definitely on par with John Palmers video with Northern Brewer but I would say yours is more Beginner friendly. Thank you for all your help.

Excellent video. Just what I was looking for as I am ready to start all-grain brewing. Good job keeping it simple and explaining everything well. Thank you!

Thanks, I've been brewing for some time and the hot break has caused me considerable grief, not just the mess the unknown loss of hop material. I can't wait to try your technique, thanks in advance

As I'm looking to make the jump from prehopped kits to all grain, I've found this video very informative!! Cheers

It's a beautiful, ancient process. Excellent video. Thank you.

Great video. Thanks for keeping it simple. Contemplating moving from extract brewing to BIAB, but this video is good for when I go all grain. Thanks again.

I been watching many videos of home brewing, and I belive yours is the best one, best explained and you make it look easy. Thanks, you win a subscriber. Cheers!

Really interesting and useful video, thanks for sharing. I am an extract brewer currently but this makes me more confident about going all grain some time in the near future.

Great video! I've made a few extract brews and this video really gave myself a great understanding on all grain brewing, thank you very much.

Thanks! Perfect amount of detail for me. Some was review as you mentioned, but, it's also good to see how everything fits together. You get the complete story start to finish.

It maybe 46 minutes long, but I did not get bored at all. You are a great presenter (calm, informative, friendly) and I really enjoyed the vid. I have just started brewing again (extract), and did feel pretty overwhelmed reading about this method, but really looking forward to getting myself to a place to do it. Love from over in Australia :) I also wish i could be trying that beer you have at the end there ;) Cheers!

You did a very nice job on this video, I'm a brewer and learned some things from you great explanation of the little sciences of process. I'll be watching much more of your videos.... thanks again

I've only been all-grain home brewing for around 3 years, and what I've learned so far is covered in this video - a very good example. I would say there's a few points of worth suggesting (some may have been mentioned?) - Try smaller batches first off (half or quarter ingredients/volumes) - Brew in a bag (BIAB) method uses a thin 'mash bag' to contain the mash/grain allowing for one mash tun/boil pot in one, but beware, even though this allows less equipment, sparge/brew efficiency suffers.

Could you post a video about your Theory on creating your own recipes, how to know what grains, hops, type of yeast, etc, to put together the recipe. How do you know what goes good together, etc.

Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thank you. I've home brewed only two batches of extract, so this was very helpful.

Hi MaltCast!! Thanks for doing these fundamental brewing videos! As a soon to be new brewer trying to learn all he can as quickly as possible its great to be able to watch your videos :) Please keep doing these fundamental videos!

- as stated in the video, the smell of the grain mash, effort, method and fresh beautiful grain and hops ingredients make it so rewarding of process to learn, do and perfect. And it's beer chemistry! with ale as the outcome!

Awesome video. Really cleared up the process/jargon and simplified the steps

Extremely informative, watched it several times. Thank you so much,

Really like your video, and the drinking game is awesome to. Every time you say "basically" we take a drink.

this video is awesome! for someone who's thinking of getting into beer brewing, you sir have convinced me to take the next step!! and for that I thank you! keep up the good work!!! ;)

Great Job thank you for sharing the process. I am currently learning all I can about brewing beer and your tutorial was great. I hope to own a brew company.

Great stuff man - appreciate the down to earth tutorial & showing us your built at home setup - save myself $2.5k on a braumeister

It's not allowed to home-brew beer in Japan, but I've learned more about beer. Thank you for the video! :)

Glad you found the information useful! If there's anything specific you'd like us to discuss, let us know and maybe we can accommodate. Good luck with your brewing!

The one thing that I didn't see was oxygenation of the wart for fermentation. The only part I think I skipped over was about sanitization. Aside from that it was fun to watch. Thanks for a very complete video.

I find any and all food science (or really, science based activities of any creative sort - working on soapmaking right now 😊) super intriguing, so this was a very interesting video. I've just recently started getting more interested in beer so learning how it's homebrewed is super cool. You've made this look a lot easier than I thought it was from my small amount of reading. Seems to me all-grain is to extract as cold or hot process is to melt & pour. There's just a bit more control over the ingredients with all grain & CP / HP.

Well presented and explained. I've yet to do any brewing, but I am gleaming a wealth of information. It's nice to see many that brew and discern what is valuable and what is frass.. (Gardeners KNOW what frass is) ;) thanks heaps! good job!

i had plenty time to watch brew videos verdicts out science is so special and wonderful, thanks bro learn new shit every day

This was great! I especially liked the first 1/2, as it was a good explanation of sparging. I think I'll stick to extract brewing! 😊

Great tutorial. Can't wait to upgrade to all grain brewing!

For those that don't have a hop filter, I have a few options. The strainer which he used, second is a hop bag (tied with a slip knot for use through the whole boil), 3rd before you drain into your chiller if you vigorously stir the un-ferminted beer till a vortex is created then allow to stand till the vortex dies off the majority of the hop material left will settle to the middle of the pot

Great suggestion! We will make it a point to cover this sometime in the near future.

This was awesome - thank you. “... the organism that brings us the nectar we love ...” 😂😂

Great video, I've done a few small extract brews and am really wanting to step up to all-grain but it is kind of a space issue for me. I might try the boil in bag method or a mini mash. One thing about all the brewing videos I've watched is most of them don't do a quick follow up and show you the finished beer. I wish more people would.

excellent video I just started brewing and it cleared up a lot of stuff I was uncertain about

- remember to take original gravity reading OG before pitching yeast - trial run! the first 4-5 all-grains are supposed to be an adventure - my first was for xmas, and although the body was thin ish the freshness, hops and alcohol were spot on! so rewarding!

Nice work mate, looking forward to watching the subsequent uploads.

Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the follow up videos.

Great video.. we're about to try our first all grain brew and this was very helpful.

Great video, it's refreshing to hear (and see) all the details and their explanations given at each stage of the process. Its extremely helpful for aspiring home brewers (myself included) looking at all-grain and/or malt extract brewing for the first time. I'd love to see the follow up video, has that been put up? Also, and i'm sure it's echoing other comments, how do you come up with your recipes? Do you have any advise on that, I'm sure trail & error plays a big part but are there recommended ways to evaluate recipe options (ingredients, proportions, timings etc) before putting them to test (which can take quite sometime to produce results)?

Very informative and terrific video! Thank you for sharing.

This was a great intro to all grain brewing. thanks

Very good video ! Would love to see the final result !

Great complete how-to video. a bit long, but it is great to see other brewer's methods. I have a pretty long how-to video on my channel, using the brew-in-a-bag method. My video started at over an hour, I was able to cut it down to about a half hour though. Liked and Subscribed! Hope to see more of your videos in the future!

great video,Ive extract brewed but this all grain was a mystery to me. Excellent job. Wort chiller looks awesome,going to check it out . Cheers

Pretty good, never saw that cooling method pipe inside hose, great idea will try as batches size up. Recommend sizing up yeast in separate cups to get even amounts in each pitch. Pot about 2 inches short for that batch size, but you managed it well... Thx.

One of the best jobs explaining something (and reasonably complicated) on the internet! Thanks! Do you have a written receipe to accompany the video (e.g. with quantities, volumes, etc)

I’m learning, so keep up them videos for me learning👍

This looks delicious. Like others been contemplating making my own brew, need to stop procrastinating and do something. Thanks!

cleared up some questions i had about sparging... thanks

great video, good tips for first time all grain brewing. thanks

I was about to subscribe to this channel, but then I noticed there was no part two to this video so I changed my mind

Those are my favorite glasses. Love the goblet.

Very clear and informative! Thanks!

Basically an excellent video. Thank you very much, I'll be following your channel.

Great video! Really helped me get going with all-grain brewing. Keep up the good work! /Hannes

Thank you; great video. Can't wait for part 2! Very helpful, though all the equipment is daunting. Oh -- question: maybe you can discuss this in part 2 -- temperature for fermenting. I live in a cold climate and even my kitchen usually doesn't make it into the 60s in the winter. Is there an optimum temperature, and what happens if you don't meet it?

Thanks for this, sir. Really helpful for a novice like me. Cheers!

Basically a great video

Really helpful video, especially since Seth Rogen was teaching me how to All Grain Brew! Haha thanks!

looking to get into whole grain brewing thanks for the insight

Take a drink every time he says basically.

You can make your sparge easier by just pouring the sparge water onto e.g. a coffee tub lid, which just floats on top and protects the grain bed

part 1 is great, thanks a bunch.

I really enjoyed your video and thank you for taking the time putting it together. Brew day can be a little hectic due to multitasking, you seemed very poised and confident running the camera while sanitizing, watching your wort, cooling, and hydrating your yeast. There was only one thing I noticed you didn't mention but probably did in between scenes. What about oxidizing the wort before pitching the yeast?

I have been contemplating brewing my own beer for some time. I'm also an avid gardener. So one of these days I was thinking of growing my own grain and hops, and possibly yeast, and making my own beer. One thing that really gets to me is the elaborate beer recipes. I understand the base and specialty grains but why would you want to make a beer that uses 10-12 different grains? I always thought one of the great qualities of a beer was it's repeatability. It seems like it would be extremely difficult to repeat a beer with so many different grain ingredients. I tend to think of it as a chef would food. The fewer ingredients the better. A chef wouldn't add an ingredient unless it was absolutely necessary for the dish. It seems like in the brew world, grains are added willy nilly. What is the advantage of adding so many grains? With so many different grains, how do you know which grains impart which taste? If someone gave you one of these beers and you didn't know what grains were used, could you taste it and know?

well done bro. greetings from brazil.

This is the best all grain video I've watched so many thanks for producing it. I'm totally new to AG and tempted to give it a go but it's a big step up from beer kits both in expense in setting up and time needed. What is the point of the metal copper tube with slits in the mashtun? Why don't we add sugar to the wort (I can guess the answer but wondering why I have to add it to a kit)

Your recipe sounds like Denny Conn's Vanilla Bourbon Imperial Porter, which is delicious! Cheers!

Dollarma bucket spotted at 12:23. Hello there fellow Canadian. XD

nice video. one thing: you say not to add hops before dealing with the hot break. I first wert a lot which is adding hops in the kettle when you first start sparging. it tastes great. just make sure the kettle is not so full and have a cold spay bottle and lower the heat till the hot break ends. good stuff though man!

i live beside a mill, its $12.50 for 55lb of barley at mills in ontario, its $68 for 55lb at the local brew shops.most grains at mills are $10-15 for 55lb sack,its defiantly worth buying in bulk

It's worth pointing out that your grist ration will affect how hot your strike water should be. You alluded to it, but it's important to point out that you will need hotter strike water, probably 170 degrees with a grist ration of 1qt/1lb of grain. As you approach a grist ration of 1.5 quarts to 1lb of grain your strike water can get closer to 160 degrees.

Basics is basically in the title. But basically it can't be easy to to a video like this; thinking of doing one myself, basically :-) God knows what I'll be repeating; probably my lunch.

you should do a follow up tasting of this beer, I think it would be nice to see how it turned out.

Basically its a pretty good tutorial. I recommend it.

Really nice video, thanks a lot! Is there a second part? Its not shown after the video ends..

This makes a great drinking game. Take a sip every time he say's basically.

Really nice! thx for the time put in to the video!

This locking so fantatic!! Realy this how wee make beer 👍👍
