Hi kjcrowley, thanks for putting up such an informative video for newbs like me. I do have questions though about "racking" the beer from the carboy to the priming bucket. Can you pass the product through a fine sterilised sieve (such as cheesecloth), and hence prevent any solids from being transferred? Or am I being anally retentive like a some chefs you aluded to before? :)
This would then mean that there are no suspended solids in the bottles, or are the solids too fine?
@malayrojak Hi, thanks for checking out the video. Don't worry about the sediment that will inevitably get transferred into your beer bottles. During the aging process this will all fall to the bottom of the bottle. Keep the bottles upright and don't stir them too much before pouring and you'll never have any sediment in your glass.
@malayrojak HOWEVER...that sediment is really, really good for you. Full of vitamin B and other nutritious stuff. And it never adds any off-flavors. So if you do get sediment in your glass, drink up! And enjoy the extra nutritional benefit. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your next brew!
Thanks for such a prompt reply. Glad I asked as I don't really drink, but I do love to cook and make things. I just need to find a few willing beer tasters *cough* victims for the first few brews.
first of all i agree with child labor, second thanks for the video i just started my first batch of beer ever, only 2.5 gallons so i dont blow to much money if i made a mistake. i need to run and get a bucket with a spout now and a capper lol
The point of pouring into the center of the glass is to release as much aroma from the beer as possible. That first sip should taste and smell intense. I refer you to Charlie Papazian's great book "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" as a reference.
Also, while the sediment is good for you, it does detract from the clarity. Some people do not like it, it's a personal choice.
Please refrain from abusive and caustic posts. This video cost you nothing to watch. If you don't like it, move along.
cheers from sweden! A really educative video! Do you know or maybe have any experience of making yeast by harnesting yeast spores from from raisins or dry figs.
I smiled when he said 'You'll see why the spicket comes in handy later on.'

Great video. Like the chefs coat. Makes you look like a pro. Also, using whiskey to sanitize, LOL!! Love it!

A 5000 yr old art is too great a thing to disagree over...even on the most minor point.

@vulcan1429 No worries. Drinking beer is the point, not what type of glass.

I have re-read my comments, and you deserve an appology...which I am now offering and I hope you accept.
