Thanks for the Video, I wish I had this when I started, my first beers were terrible, but you pretended they were OK, this will help with the anxiety new brewers have, 5 stars.
Nice work boys, very similar to my kit days. I’m an All Grain brewer these days but back in my extract life I always used the Pale Ale kit, malt & dextrose mix, steeped some hops (galaxy) & grain, with US-05 yeast,made a pretty decent beer. So any newbies out there these boys are pretty much on the money with this, it’s a tasty, hoppy beer, can’t go wrong really, cheers.
This was a really good video for beginners, I think I would have gone from this to starting a yeast bank if I had have known how easy it was and how much difference using a good yeast over the packets under the tin makes, especially in Australian summers! If you guys muck up enough to do a tasting of the "wrong beer flavours" I think that could be interesting, i experiment a lot and don't often repeat the same brew steps, even back in the days of using the cordial tins and dextrose, I know thing's like Diacetyl and oxidation are bad but I am not sure I have tasted them or if the beer I made was just bad.
Pretty good info for doing your first kit brew in this video. After years of experimenting and perfecting, i would definitely use one of the readily available sugar blends ie. dextrose, light malt etc. As also stated as an option in the video, US05 yeast would have probably got rid of that 'chemical ' taste you stated. It's amazing the difference a quality yeast makes to a brew. Definitely worth the few extra dollars. Kits are great for people that don't have the time to spend on brewing all grains and are a very affordable option and often as good or better than some of the mainstream options. ✌
Yeah absolutely, you can definitely make some great beers with kits and quality ingredients (like better yeast!) and as you said, not just for beginners but also people that just don’t have the time for a 5 hours brewday!
You could use RO, distilled or spring etc. but tbh for the home brew scale I’ve never noticed too much of an issue with tap water. However you can evaporate most of it off by pouring it the night before and letting it dissipate over night, the. Reboil the water the next day to sterilise the water again

Cheers mate! Yeah exactly right, always helps to have a guide on those first couple beers when you’re first jumping into brewing

Yeah true that’s definitely a video we want to do soon, all about “off flavours” and how they are caused and what to do to prevent them

Great vid! What is the source of your water? If you use tap water how do you remove the chloramine? Or do you leave it?
