It's WAY too expensive, local home brew store will have better kits for less $$$$

Just buy malt extract powder + hops + wine yeast + honey for the complex taste, how ? You make caramelized honey ! Just like making Bochen but not as much honey, about 5% of total weight/liter, it's way dang cheaper 🔥

@@TheBruSho Absolutely. This beer kit definitely looks way easier and less intimidating then the one I got. Im super fortunate that I have a local brew shop and they offer brewing 101 classes. After getting my first kit I found the shop and took a class and that helped me get past the intimidation of the massive kit. Now almost 1 year in and I have yet to have a bad beer and that first kit was my only kit beer. Most of which is thanks to channels like yours, clawhammer, apartment brewer, elementary brewing, yeast and the beast and brulosophy. I create all my own recipe's and am just in love with brewing cause of all you guys.

A bit pricier than other starter kits, but it seems worth the investment. Dealing with a racking cane and cleaning a small-mouth glass carboy was a real hassle when starting out.

Great video. Wish I had seen it when I started. Why are you not touching the effects of keeping the hops in the kettle after boiling? Surely will increase the bitterness of the beer.

It might be fun for you to experiment with but I would say generally all grain makes better beer so if you're comfortable with that stick with it

@CapsizedCloud 5 ай бұрын

Just curious, when your beer is bottled and capped, do you continue to leave them in the box, or can you put them in the fridge during those last two weeks? I would assume the former.

@TheBruSho 5 ай бұрын

I leave them in the box to keep them organized. And store at room temp for 2 weeks to build pressure, then into fridge. If you go into fridge too early it will take FOREVER for them to carbonate

personally i would wash out he sanitiser before pouring my pre brew beer in

might be a stupid question, but what is the sanitizer stuff? all that foam from cleaning before you add the wort to the jug, its not chemicals is it?

@TheBruSho 4 ай бұрын

It’s an acid based sanitizer that’s food safe. It just helps from getting bacterial infections in your beer

@noob19087 4 ай бұрын

@@TheBruSho I'm curious. What acid is it? I mean is it an acid that just happens to also be a disinfectant, or is it really just a strong acid that works because of its low pH? I'm a chemist, and if it's the latter I wouldn't be playing around with that, like putting it in spray bottles 😅 Seems unlikely but your wording did imply it I think.

I am a dude who is simply daydreaming about making beer.. but all those bubbles in the container after sanitizing it.. what the heck? That looks like it would add some bad flavor to the beer or something in the beer thats bad for you to drink. Looks like soap.

Its a food safe sanitizer, and it (allegedly) adds some micro nutrients to the beer. But 100% safe and needed for a clean fermentation

Buying your brew gear from Amazon is stupid. You should be buying from your Local Home Brew Store. The ingredients will be fresher and you'll be supporting a store that has the stuff you need. Also, the employees are usually happy to answer any questions.

@sethb9687 9 ай бұрын

They should be fine. As long as they didn't get contaminated. Crack one open and see how it smells. If it smells like anything besides beer, dump it. It might also be oxidized (not sure how well they were packaged), but it'll still be safe if that's the case, just won't taste as good.
