Home Brew Wednesday #13 - Holiday Ale Taste And More...

[ricardo222rem]

Hey Craig great bids as always. Just getting started myself. Was wondering if you had any ideas for a vanilla Porter. I will be doing a full boil and want a pronounced vanilla flavor. Any ideas would help.keep up the good work brother

[c4ucuber]

Man cave?

where it is :(

[steve45ca]

Fat Mop.... huh.... neat.... you should try the holiday cider I made this year.... the nutmeg and cinnamon gave it a beautiful flavor

[HokieHomeBrew]

EXPLOSION!!! of flavors.

[chumowski]

Hi Craig, I just landed myself two 50 litre hand blown italian glass carboys packed in straw and encased in a cage... my thoughts are that I am relatively new to wine making and brewing and I really enjoy watching your tutorials, how about we do a Canada to UK link and brew up over skype?? you can post the edited content and we could do short follow ups as it ferments to tasting, what do you think?

[coldlogic1]

omg i saw that thing years ago, its a fat mop it makes so much sense now! That litterally brought me back so many years, I never questioned it as a kid but now i know what that is! mind blown.

[spockady]

hmmmm. great vid as always. im doing a coopers ipa this week.

Greetings from Utah! Beer capital of America;). Love your channel - just came across it tonight and watched through the Wednesday night series. I've wanted to get into home brew for a while now and luckily we have some great local suppliers here in Utah.

Just hit the subscribe button and will be tuning in often. Cheers and good brewing

Hey craig, me and my college roomates have started brewing our own beer in our apartment because its alot of fun and much cheaper than buying commercial beer. Thanks for your videos our we probably wouldnt have tried it. Its a hit at the parties. Cheers!!

[hitau1063]

Always enjoy your HBW vids craig! Thanks!

[wjohnson12321]

Hi Craig, another new subscriber although i've been watching your videos since you started. Quick question did your holiday ale have any "Bananaish" flavours? I tried a brown ale and spiced it up a bit with mulled wine spices but it ended up just tasting of banana and I have (and still have) no idea why? Any Ideas?

[CraigTube]

@wjohnson12321 That's a good question. I'm not sure. I'd have to know every step and every temp along the way.

[billytk247]

Greif, How much do you drink, I used to drink everyday until medical advice stated not to. I am 40 now and now only drink Fri & Sat :o(

[Raggo12345]

Another great video! Thanks a lot! Will try to find the fat-mop here. 

[mattdownernz]

Hey, the black spatula's back.

[arrogantbastardale]

Sounds like a delicious beer! You know me, I love strong beers. 17!

[TheBrewGeek]

Looks good, did you force carbonate the beer?

[CraigTube]

@TheBrewGeek I did keg some of it, but this bottle was bottle conditioned.

[ilovejimrogers]

hi craig, i'm a new subscriber and i just wanted to say hi from uk and your videos are quite professional and clever. keep up the good work.

[CraigTube]

@ilovejimrogers Welcome to the channel. Cheers!

[bull61175]

hey Craig did you ever try that cream ale you made? I made it as my first home brew and I didn't care much for it, maybe I did something wrong.

[CraigTube]

@bull61175 I thought it was delicious, in fact I've emulated it once.

[257milo]

Craig tell me that the Brewers Best Holiday Ale isn't the best home brew you ever made!!! It's a true Belgium Ale type beer!!! Savor it in a tulip beer glass!!! Salute!!!

[LongDogBrew]

HHBW Craig! Only you would be double-fisting wine and beer at the same time...Cheers!

[Nikolai4o1]

Not to worried... hehe, you kill me Craig again :-) ...

You have to make longer your Home Brew Wednesdays at last 10 minutes or so, because i can't get enough of your videos, seriously...

Cheers! 17!

[gitareivind]

great video.

that beer looked awsome

[HoppyBrewerUK]

Happy home brew Wednesday Craig. Great video.

[EvertyStudios]

Two thumbs up Craig, glad you enjoyed it, I deffinatly caught a buzz of this kit on a couple occasions. Cheers!

[thegentlearts]

Craig why not auction that spatchula during your cast?

[Nikolai4o1]

@thegentlearts thats great, great idea! :)

[BarbarishFTW]

Home brewing is illegal over here in Sweden god damn it.

[iXopY]

@BarbarishFTW no, it's not illegal to brew wine/beer/mead/cider. It's however illegal to distill anything to get a higher alcohol content. Check out bryggforum.nu if you are interested in home brewing.

[BarbarishFTW]

@iXopY Are you sure? *Big Smile* when i was on a Swedish website that sells items for brewing it stated in their terms of agreement that it was against the law to produce your own alchoholic beverages.

[iXopY]

@BarbarishFTW I'm very shure. The whole lawtext is posted at bryggforum but here's the most important part: "2 § Vin, starköl eller öl får inte tillverkas utan tillstånd om det inte gäller tillverkning i hemmet för eget behov."

Whitch translates to something like: "Wine, strong- or light beer are not allowed to be manufactured if it's not intended for household needs."

So you're allowed to brew beer and drink it with your friends, but you're not allowed to sell it.

[Nikolai4o1]

@iXopY Correction depend on your last post - here, in Bulgaria, u can sell beer with no problem and u owe to country only standart taxes for trading

[Nikolai4o1]

@BarbarishFTW Thats very very bad to hear...

Here in Bulgaria even trade with brew has not restricted with any law.

You can do everything you want with alcohol with max of 15 %, beer, wine etc...

Unfortunately You have to brew illegal, Barb... thats not exactly wrong because, here in BG people do this all the time with alc of 40-45-50 % ...
