@TheJustbri Hi mate...Just in Sunderland...been looking at your all grain vids...very impressed...i'll have to get the gear and we'll have to get together and do a all grain batch.
@whatsbrewinguk if your ever get the urge to do an all grain, i'd be more than willing to bring my kit over, try before you buy sort of thing, check out the worchester hop shop, he's put together some nice all grain kits, nicely priced too
Watching this on my tv with the surround sound on. I thought my washing machine had turned itself on.
When I add drymalt extract I find that pouring it with the dextrose into the fermenter and adding abit of water at a time while mixing it turns it into a paste. after that just adding boiling water turns it into a liquid without clumps.
@chrisftw92 Thanks Chris - dry malt is not the easiest to dissolve, however pouring it into cold water means you don't get it clinging on the bag and with a bit heat added it just dissolve's by itself...however I'll give this a try ...keep the tips coming... I'm just a learner ;)
@Szlyynaa Thanks for the input....i edit out most of my stirring as 2 minutes of stirring the wert is a bit boring...but i do add the water from a good hight and this really helps.
Quick tip for you about dried malt. The easiest way to do these kits is to add all dry ingredients into the bottom of your Fermenting bucket first, then add the 2L of boiled water on top. Pick up the bucket, and swirl round and round in your hands. Should dissolve pretty sharpish with little or no clumping.
@DevonHomeBrew Hi Matey, moving onto two can kits then after that going mini mash then eventually all grain...hopefully doing videos of my journey .....finding videos of uk brewers is a real hard find.
@whatsbrewinguk it is haha i did 2 extract brews and then koved onto mini all grain batches you know like 1 gallon batches then went the whole 5 gallons it can set you back a few quid more though
looks like a nice brew mate, keep us updated on the taste, you sound fairly local to me (newcastle), where ya from?

Quick tip; Try to stir the worth more to oxygenate it. Oxygen is really healthy for the yeast.
Thanks for nice vids btw. Keep the good work up! :)
