I started brewing in 1997. I now brew 10 gallon all-grain batches once a month. I know more than a little about this hobby. This video is one of the most concise and complete "intro" vids I've ever seen. The host covers all of the pertinent information without getting too "deep into the weeds". He also keeps it interesting while going through the steps. Anyone who watches this and follows the simple steps laid out can brew great beer. It cannot be stressed enough how important the sanitation step is but almost anything else is open to your own interpretation. Well done Mr. Frey. Cheers!
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to brewing (I'm still getting all my pieces together to start), can I ask why he added malt extract on top of malted barley already? Another video I watched didn't add extract and just used the barley, and turned out looking good (although I see that this was an amber ale, and much, much darker than the other video, whereas the other was an IPA), do you have to add the extract or can you omit it?
iDiscord ! He added the extract malt because he was making a brown ale so it requires the extra malt. The initial malt grains and the extract.
@@dutchstacy8622 Discord! I am only interested in dark beers...
Wow
@@dutchstacy8622 hi, is that the type of Dubbel ?
"The grains have many compost or baking uses." *sound of grains hitting the trashcan floor* ;D @2:50
Tyler Chambers lol I laughed at that part too
😂 😂 😂
That's a hilarious visualization
Ahahaha my thoughts exactly
I went back and checked you are right that is funny,lol
No annoying music, no adds, step by step clear instructions... Perfect!
I watched this video like my grandma watches cooking shows on saturday afternoon. Absolutely awesome.
I would recommend letting people know that if the liquid extract is *that* syrupy, it can be dunked in a sink of warm water to make it a little less viscous.
Hello 👋🏻
This is my very first video to watch on CZcams on how to brew a beer. This video made me a better home Brewer. Now, twenty six batches later I keep coming back here and give this video a thumbs up every time it pops up.
This was incredibly helpful. You've turned what seems like a confusing process for newbies and made it incredibly simple. Thank you!
thanks! If there's an opportunity to see how something done - especially if you're new to it - I think it's always helpful. Happy beer brewing!
You made the perfect video for the new-brewer, and I appreciated your easy step-by-step instructions. Great job!!
I figure at age 51 and being an alcoholic, it's time to brew my own Beer.
I figured this at 33 so I guess I'm a little ahead of the game.
If you are an alcoholic that sounds like a pretty stupid idea, don't know you, but wouldnt it just make it even harder to stay sober?
You must have a high regard for beer since you capitalized it. 🍺
I do the same, Im 31 ":D
I'm 24 enjoy drinking beer, that is why I want to start my brewery. I do have a small drinking problem but I think that will be a positive thing, since I will be doing what I enjoy.
So far I can successfully process a wide variety of beer into a fine urine with a bold aroma, color, and clarity.
Thank goodness for that update. That’s exactly the outcome I was striving to receive!!!😉
You have the gift of being well spoken and teaching with such a clarity that everything gets covered as it should. Thank you for taking the time and teaching this craft!
Thank you! I always struggled with sanitation to the point if being obsessed. You shed light on a few things I never realized such as the oxygen cleaner being food safe and OK to allow foaming. This video makes me less anxious to attempt my next batch!
I'm just looking to start up as a hobby and found this to be extremely helpful. Expertly demonstrated and informative. Great job. Thanks dude.
I followed the instructions on this video and the batch came out perfect. For being the first time I was impressed. It smelled like beer, looked like beer and tasted like a good bottle of beer, thanks to this video.
This is one of the most clear, informative, and educational brewing videos I've watched so far. I don't normally comment on things, but I thank you.
This was a really informative, clean and easy to understand tutorial vid. Thanks!
loved this! just bought the kit! can't wait to start brewing!
Outstanding! I'll be starting my first attempt at beer this weekend. This is one the best tutorials (of many) that I've watched in the last week.
Home brewing can be so meditative. Thanks for the clear and concise video.
Excellent presentation!! One of the best I've seen in a long time. Thanks so much for sharing your skills.
Great video. Really informative & easy to follow. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! Thanks for your nice comment.
Is that alcoholic beer??? M from india..
Thank you! My husband and I are just starting the brewing journey together as a new hobby. Great, easy to follow video.
Excellent job of relating the process in a clear and concise way. I am more confident that I will do okay my first round!
For someone looking start brewing this has been the best video I've watched.
This tutorial was extremely helpful. I have not yet bought brewing equipment, but after how simply you put this video I am going to go purchase some equipment, and a box kit now knowing that brewing it won't be like physics class all over again. Thank you.
Good video. You should warm the barley syrup by placing it in hot water before you pour it. It comes out much easier then.
This is the one best brewing videos on CZcams. If not THE BEST. I’m not kidding! I watched this about 4/5 years ago when I first started making beer and because of this one video I make the best stuff now. Thank you.
He's the most polite and accurate explainer ever
Who is watching it during Corona times? Lol!!!
Mei
I started with learning to make and distill my own alcohol. Then figured "hey, I can make beer with this stuff too, even better"
Me going into beer making.......
ill sub you were very informative... I am a new brewer and you just made me but a start up kit... I am a I.P.A. guy so I cant wait to make my own
This is one of the best beginner home brewing videos we've seen...thanks Jeremy and cheers!
So, I've watched a few videos on home brews and this video seriously helped put all the pieces together! appreciate the simplicity here in this video! Brew more please (Organic IPA Homebrew videos)!
"let us give praise to our Maker, and glory in his bounty, by learning about... beer."
FRIAR! I'm sure you shall find it much more difficult to sing with a sword in your gullet.
I think kits are a good way to get introduced to home brewing, but shouldn't end there! So many flavor combinations to work with in the future…I hope you give it a go and have great success!
Very helpful. Thanks for the great video.
This was a great video that really demystified the beer-making process for me. I'm ready to get started now. Thank you!
This was absolutely great!!!
thanks lec9077!
Very nice video, thank you!
Hello 👋🏻
Absolutely Amazing!
Quick, short and not a long story. Well explained, thank you
This was a Very well made video. I am impressed. Thanks.
If your reading this:
Knock a cold one back for me. 🍺
Cheers 🍺
If you're reading this , South Africa is under lockdown, and Alcohol is banned. You knock one back for us!
@@kungfukenny4439 dude that sucks, bottle shops are essential in Australia
@@reece9052 Yep, i bought enough for 2 weeks not knowing they would extend it, 2 weeks left, no beer but got a few bottles of Jamesons, that's also good to kill a thirst!
Slainte! 🍺
Omg , watching you pour the maize extract (that syrupy stuff) was the most satisfying thing I've seen in a long time !
Really enjoyed the video. Got my kit coming in the post tomorrow so can't wait to get started!
thanks shia labeouf now i know how to make beer
Long JUST DO IT!!!!
Long . He may be a douche , but goddamn he is helpful
lol
Looks nothing like Shia
😂😂
Now I can always crack a cold one....with the lads
Thanks for the basics. It's good work.
Amaizing tutorial!
im gona make now!
This was an awesome intro vid. After 15 min I feel like I could easily start brewing my own beer.
Hello 👋🏻
This video got me into home brewing though I opted to make my own mash tun/HLT and go straight to all grain brewing.I also decided to keg right off the bat as well.Along the way I got rid of the glass carboys and ferment in corny kegs.Most recently I splurged and bought a Grainfather all in 1 brewing system.It is a very enjoyable hobby and I am glad I took it up.
Well explained brewing step by step process! Keep it up, great job!!
Great video. I make wines. I thought beer would be harder but it seems to easier as there is no constant racking. i will try it.
You can rack your beer as many or as few times as you want; it's simply a method of filtering out unwanted solids. I rack twice, between primary and secondary fermentation, and then from carboy to bottling vat. The important thing is not to disturb the beer too much (use a racking hose or a siphon), and to restrict its contact with the outside air.
When you poor cold water in, is that cold water sanitized somehow? Do we need to boil it before it's cold? Thanks
I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO LIKE SOMETIME AGO SINCE I ONLY STARTED TO HAVE THE IDEA OF DOING IT AND YOUR VIDEO WAS THE FIRST ONE. I FINISHED IT WITH KNOWING VERY LITTLE WHAT WAS HAPPENING THOUGH. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I FINALLY MADE MY FIRST BATCH AND DECIDED TO COME N WATCH THIS AGAIN. IT ALL MAKE SENSE NOW. WOW, THANKS MAN.
This video was a perfect refresher course, thanks!
You learn something new every day. As dumb as this sounds, I never thought to put my chiller in the wort while it was boiling.
Boys and girls. Make sure you have proper ventilation when using that propane burner.
Affordable Colorado Weddings actually propane burns very cleanly leaving behind carbon dioxide and water vapor. so unless you were in a very small area there should be no worries. natural gas on the other hand is more dangerous one by product of natural gas is carbon monoxide which will kill you.
Affordable Colorado Weddings drama queen,I have a gas range in my house what you on about
I've been wanting to get a job at a brewery for some time now, but had no clue as to how to brew beer. This was so informative, thank you so much.
Great video ! I've been doing hard ciders and am ready to start on brewing beer. Your video answered a lot of questions Thank you
Obviously the guy making the video doesn't even consider your average tinned brew kit to be home brew!
I usually use Coopers brew kits and they only require one container and a kettle. No boiling, no siphoning, no 'bottling bucket'. I don't really see what he is trying to achieve by siphoning into a bottling bucket, you could do exactly the same job by stirring in your priming sugar to the brew, or just pop a carbonation drop in every bottle as you said.
150F to 170F is 65C to 77C
As opposed to exploding water
This was probably the most down to earth, tutorial on making beer. I felt like I was there, good video
This video is very clear. I made a beer using this video a few months ago and am using it again to remind me how to do it.
Hello 👋🏻
At what point in this process could you add a satchel of spices (coriander, peppercorn etc.) into the beer?
last 15 mins of the boil before cooling
That an overwhelming amount of sanitizer in your beer bro lmao.
Lol stopped watching after that lol
Perfect love the step by steps really glad you made this video
I'm starting brewing in a few days and I'm watching a lot of tutorial videos on how to do it for beginners. Yours is by far the best and the simplest. Thanks a lot. I can't wait to start!
Can i substitute honey instead of the corn sugar?
the yeast needs sugar.. so most likely yes
Mead is a honey based liqueur. Like Russian vodka, you don't mash honey, it mashes you.
Dad, I know you’re reading this. Remember when you tried making wine for Joanna’s wedding? Don’t even try!
Really loved your video. Thank you so much. Very throughout and explanatory.
Great video I'm starting my first home brew today and this helped a lot
Ah, extract brewing... the ultimate cheat in the world of alcohol...
HOW TO MAKE 4 LOKOS??!? HOW TO MORE ALCOHOL? HOW TO MAKE UGLY LOOK PRETTY MORE FASTER???!?
Minnie Marcum lmao
thanks for the education. i have always wanted to delve into this craft. you made it look easy.
Thank you so much for this video. It was one of the most informative ones I came across and helped me get started in homebrewing.
so glad it helped - happy brewing!
I have a very hard time believing that the sanitizer solution doesn't augment your beer's flavor in any way. I wouldn't recommend soaking everything in it every chance you get seeing as how for something to be a sanitizer you need an enzyme to break down bacteria to some degree and since yeast is a bacteria.. it could throw off or augment the beer's abv, flavor and so much else. Great starter video though.
"Yeast is a bacteria"?! lol. Actually, the reason yeast (which is a fungus) creates alcohol in nature is to fight off its competition, which is.... you guessed it: bacteria!
As Morten said - yeast are fungi. Also, "for something to be a sanitizer you need an enzyme to break down bacteria".... mate... I dont think you know what an enzyme is OR how to kill bacteria. There are very few enzymatic antibacterials on the market that are cheap enough to use for something like this. Heat, pressure, detergents, acids, bases - even high enough salt concentration can all kill bacteria and are far far cheaper and more stable than enzymes.
Imperial system of units is TOO complicated. Next time, can you do all that stuff again, but now using the metric system. Thank buddy.
+Bender Rodriguez I have the same problem. Not enough metric system videos. Might be a niche market for a CZcams channel, me thinks. metric brewing
+Bender Rodriguez they use imperial system in the states... it's not that tricky, well, in Ireland, we sort of use both.
Daniel Murray true, its not that tricky. I just use google converter for most brewing problems. It would be nice to see more metric vids. My old mate Gash Slugg makes some very good brewing vids in metric
+Bender Rodriguez Just look up the conversions. Americans live their whole lives doing the conversions. It isn't hard.
Even if I find the conversion, it is not accurate enough.
This is great simple explanation on how to make beer! thx so much!
Simple and very well explained.Thank you so much
why was this recommended for me, I'm under the drinking age and google knows that.
So where is the alcohol?
The alcohol comes from the yeast eating the sugars
Interesting.... Thanks bro.
Jay Cee
come on dude you gotta be kiddin me hahaha, line of the day.. ahhahaha wheres the alcohol... my man
I was serious, but I also new that I was going to sound very stupid... Lol
SERIAL =PPP
glad it did - and have fun making some brew!
thank you! I found the whole process to be very fascinating - with a great outcome! =)
Hi, I have a question.
Before bottling the beer do we use any method to kill the yeast post fermentation or does the yeast remain in the bottle and till the consumer drinks the beer? Does it make it a safe beer to drink?
12 minutes 0f credibility taken away by that lousy pour at the end
+Noah Roberts english spouts call for a different pour
n00b
yum tastes like sanitizer
seriously who doesn't wash off the sanitizer?
@@WalkerProducts He's most likely using starsan. It has no taste and is completely fine for the brew. Doesn't change the flavour profile at all. If you wash off your sanitizer with tap water you've potentially just added bacteria back into the carboy making sanitation pointless. Not everybody has access to filtered tapwater, most places in the states have substandard tap water ill suited for brewing.
U eat it everyday and don't know... I worked in a meat department at one point the last step after cleaning everything and spraying it down is spray a layer of sanitizer over everything. It's harmless.
I've been wanting to try homebrewing but was trepidatious as I thought it was such a complicated process so I'm so glad I watched this. You explained it all so well and this was really helpful; thanks so much! 🤗
Very good video. Very nice way of explaining. Awesome.
Hops and yeast going everywhere, not rinsing out the malt extract properly and leaving a fair amount behind I know its only an instructional video but geeeez this guy is wasteful
pronto355 just what I was thinking haha
Can you imagine if we old timers had this youtube video when we were kids? Who needs a fake ID Johnny's brewing a keg in his closet? We'd be on our third liver by now. Kids today have it made. Of course most of them have little to no resolve to see something like this through. Let alone the meticulous prepping it takes not to infect your beer. I guess it's a double edge sword, here's how you do it, but you're too lazy to do it. Kind of a cruel joke.
Mead can be made in gallon jugs of drinking water so it's pretty easy to closet-brew.
Store bought grape juice, sugar, and bakers yeast works too
My dad used to make it in a 20 gallon crock out in the garage. After it was bottled and stored in the garage, my Brother and I would sneak in there and try it out. Some of the bottles would blow up in the cupboards they were stored in.........good times. :-)
My friend started when he was 15 so I guess we’re not all lazy.
30 years ago... When I was 14 I worked at HyVee food stores in the produce department. A coworker and myself had access to a private storage area above our produce prep room that no one ever visited. We went to the grocery aisle and got 4 gallon jugs of unsweetened apple cider. We purchased a 5 pound bag of sugar and a packet of yeast. Mixed it all up in a bucket in that storage room. When it had fermented out we strained it and racked it back into the cider jugs and took them up to the check out and purchased them as cider just in time for a big Halloween party!
Very helpful. I usually brew mead, but I'm thinking about trying beer. This is a great tutorial for someone new to brewing beer.
Outstanding video to walk a beginner through the entire process from start to finish.
Thank you. awesome simple to follow, well put together video!
Great video. I'm brand new to the home brewing scene and this is exactly the kind of vid I was hoping to find -- thanks!
This guy is ruthless with pouring and opening things up!
Awesome video! Can't wait to try it!!
Great vid, very precise and informative without going too in depth.
Very professional I want to learn that, thanks for sharing.
great video..l....Jeremy Frey is the best....thanks man...
Great idea to put the specialty grains into the steeping bag for packaging.
