- There are state and federal statutes that regulate the amount of beer someone can brew at home. Yet Martin Keen brewed hundreds of gallons of beer at home as a part of his "Homebrew Challenge." Did he break the law? We take a deep dive into the challenge, talk with Martin, and even tour his studio to get answers. What we ultimately discover is the top 5 ways to brew a LOT of beer way more efficiently.

Hey Kyle - how’s that GoFundMe doing that you set up to cover my bail? Kyle? Anybody?!
I got you, man.
You guys are awesome! I was off and on home brewing for 10 years but when COVID hit and I had nothing better to do than watch CZcams, it was your guy’s channels I got into. Now I brew every chance I get and get all the compliments from neighbors and friends for the great tasting beer! (*Sometimes I forget to tell my friends that it’s your guy’s recipe) Thank you!
Lol
Thanks for covering this, while I was aware of the limits as I did a ton of research prior to buying your system I am sure many people are not aware of these limits.
Martin is certainly a mad man, cant wait for the BJCP to drop some more styles just to see him brew them up!
he could try the Brewers Association Beer Style Guidelines, there more style if you compare to the BJCP
Don't care about time or volume if Martin can have such an awesome output of beers and content all power to him. Martin! Keep doing you brother! We all love what you're doing
I hear he tossed it all in the Boston Harbor after fermentation anyway.
I knew Martin was shady from the get go ... just kidding. The guy is a beer (and coffee) machine.
It's a good thing I log every single gallon of beer I brew so when the homebrew police come knocking I'll be ready. . .
I just drink all the evidence.
Watched Martin’s videos from the beginning- hats off to Martin.
Love it. I need to visit Ashville and Raleigh soon. Good work fellas.
Nice Dssolvr shirt! Your 5500W element does not mess around!
Pro tip: brew as much as you want and ignore the law because it is a stupid law
Gov't always wants their tax money! Does the Gov't really think homebrewed beer will go into some black market and sold in alleyways????
💯
“The 5500 watt element is enough to heat up a hot tub”. Never realized when I bought the 20 gallon 240v system that I bought something with a dual purpose 😂🎉
What's the next brew from you?
I love Martins channel brilliant cheers 👍🍻
Damn! I just grabbed a G70 and it is only 3000 watts to get 16 gallons or so to boil decently quick, 5500 watts on your system would be silly fast to get 3 gallons to boil. Great story time video!
Crime is what makes it taste so good
Lol….!
Being illegal accentuates the hops 🤣
I just brewed my first beer on the Clawhammer 10g 240v system Saturday! Going to take some getting used to over the old propane biab, wart came to a boil so fast I didn't even drink my first beer! I guess I need to start drinking when I put the water in the kettle......... or sooner.
So far, I like this system. 👌
Martin basically did a years worth of short and shoddy beers
Tax free Booze is what makes it so good.
Not really tax free since you buy all the stuff that has a sales tax
@jimsonjohnson3761 .... Let me have my Illusions!!! But alas, you are right.
200 gal/year if you're married? sounds like a law made for marriage bait..
You don't need to be married, you only have to be 2 or more adults living in the same household.
Still wondering who issued the challenge to Martin.
me, lost the farm on the bet
My local HB store looks cross-eyed at me when I go in as I homebrew on a 1BBL system. The catch is I brew 4 times a year and there are 2 of us.
1BBL is 1 Beer Barrels which is equal to 31 gallons for those like me that never heard of such sizes. Cheers.
Traditional farmhouse brewers in northern Europe would brew once a year and brew enough for the whole year.
Hahahaha who's counting? Unless you self report to the Feds or State, nobody is sure how much you brewed... 😂 😂
I can't wait to get to work with Martin! He's an inspiration in so many ways, I want to be just as insane one day 🍻🍻🍻
3:00 ... doh well that kind of changes things as it seems to basically negate it for acquiring status of a cider/beerlord if those are even a thing... man that kind of power is an amusing to imagine sort or type of thing though XD
Just got recommended this video, have an extra $50 in my bank, yep I’m buying some grain
those hardended criminals documentary are captivating, and martin smiling the whole time, oooh the cold eyes and hart of a true american outlaw
Exactly how can they tell? Explain that...
Jamil Zainascheff has definitely brewed all 99 styles of Bjcp and won medals and now owns Heretic Brewing co........brew on.....
I like these new short videos
What about kombucha...is there a limit I can brew? I brew a gallon a week...in Newfoundland....
any federal statute on alcohol is unconstitutional
I See a brew er ... bromance here lol .
Brewmance! Lol…
"Land of the free"
That controller is so powerful it should be illegal!
PSSHHH, yeah the feds aren't coming for home homebrewers.
What about you Kyle? That chalk board behind you looks pretty full. I have always thought that Emmet and Ross looked rather shady! What are they hiding in those beards?!? Let me find my calculator and do some analysis on the videos you have posted before I call 911...what is the number for 911 again?
Wait but if nobody objects or in other words if it is mutual agreed apupon and everyone consents its like sleeping with someone in that a speakeasy that is kind of... not so easily jeard about unless in the underground/in the know then is it ok?
Martin's a badass
There is a loophole in the law, btw. You can legally not add volume to your total if you donate it to a non-profit event where they take donations for the beer. You just need a non-profit and bam, you can homebrew as much as you want for $0 donations at "events".
if he goes to jail, i hope he thanks you for being you
I did laugh at 1:07. Nice
Watched every minute I think
What the hell did CH drink that made him blow smoke??? I wanna "sip"!
Hopping in your van sounds a little illegal ... and potentially very kinky?
Not in Canada, no limits.
There should be a God given “2nd Amendment” regarding the amount of beer a man may brew and own!
Oh shit...
Incredible
Sounds like jealousy to me. Lol
Any chance clawhammer is going to make a smaller size system? Like a 5 gallon kettle for 2-3 gallon batches, as there really isnt one out there currently
You can brew 3 gallon batches in our 10.5 gal kettle. In fact, all of Martin’s batches were 3 gallons.
@@ClawhammerSupply Ok that is good to know
I heard of a story of someone who went commercial because he was being so much and giving it away that he was running into these issues...idk if it's true but I would like to think so
Just tell your US law enforcement that you are using British gallons ... whilst they are confused and working it out you can find more people who might have lived in your house that year ...
What if you have a lot of friends who like a lot of beer?
In Texas it is 200 gallons per household and the law is a bit sexist. Sorry Flora can’t brew as the statute is riddled with he/himself/his. Apparently only dudes are allowed to homebrew in Texas.
52 Calendar weeks in a year. 5gal avg batch, puts him at 260gallons in a year, possibly 60 gallons over. IF AND ONLY IF all batches all batches are 5gallons. There's lots of 1 gallon and 2 / 2.5 gallon recipes out there. Moreover, getting the next level higher small brewer license is relatively cheap and easy. If like you say 2.5 gallon batches that's 130gal well below the legal limit.
Your stuff on how he did it was interesting enough without the clickbait-y Legal portions.
hes only 2.5 over if you divide by 2.5 its a legal amount, so he's good to go. Im drunk and did the math that means I understand it better
Way to narc
So what? Do what you want and shut up anout it.
Do what you want and don't advertise what you do. Stop involving the government in your business.
Martin only brewed 2.5 gal at a time though...
Other than documenting yourself breaking the law, and then making it public, I don't see how anyone would know how much beer you've made. I get that this is the whole point here, dude documented himself, but in a run-of-the-mill homebrewer's life I don't get how someone would get busted for brewing too much beer. Always good to challenge the system though!!
Truth
They need to incorporate abv in the law formula. 8% double ipa shall not be the same as 4% summer blonde ale.
Prohibition is over. If that many people are breaking the law by making more beer than is allowed, then the government, public servants, MUST change the law to reflect the people's will.
I'm unsubscribing to this channel because of this literal terrorism.
The government follows the people's will, or the government is corrupt.
Uhhhh….
You’ve tickled the noodle…. What is literal terrorism? Lol
@@ClawhammerSupply ignore him Kyle, he is trying to be a pseudo intellectual
😂😂😂
Hahaha, ok…… 😂😂😂🥴
Nobody is getting arrested for brewing that much. Hell, the government doesn't even care if you distill either, unless you have a search warrant and you already have a rap sheet let's be real
Dssolvr has some great things going on 🤘🏻
So you just ratted the dude out?
