[sbbinahee]

Really enjoy your homebrew wednesdays my friend, the spirits home made are fascinating and sound like they are on par!

[Xedekk]

sounds like you just made a "sour beer". Northern brewer.com just did a whole episode about it. on their brewer tv

[HRHooChicken]

There are some strange people in the world haha sending a stranger some socks wtf

[ACTeslaMachineDC]

I was thinking of where is the follow-up video 20 minutes AFTER this one?...when all the shots hit home! lol Cheers Craig ;)

[mumu132]

Craig you are hilarious! The look on your face when you tasted the Irish whiskey was comical.

[flyingman1981]

[zenonko]

Cheers! Thanks yee gods for alcohol!

[orstk320]

17!!!!

Nicely done . I just took the plunge two weeks ago and made my first ALL Grain brew in a 1 bedroom apt lol. One lesson learned never brew smashed LOL. I am waiting to move it to secondary . What makes it really special is I used my whole first year hop harvest in it. If it turns out I will have to send you a bottle. I figure if people in New Zealand can I should be able to. I love hearing the glugging and bubbling of all the airlocks in your brew area . Anyways cheers mate!!!

[ka5get]

Just goes to show, you have to really TRY to SCREW UP BEER!!! Get vid Craig!!!!

[Homebrewisgreat]

Thats gotta taste awful.....

[lkcheat]

dirty ipa ill look for it in my local hbs lol

[RHodge317]

I don't think I've ever seen you not like a beer!

[CraigTube]

@RHodge317 I Can't really name a food I don't like either. If it's not rotten, and it's prepared with some decency, I'm in.

[ACTeslaMachineDC]

@CraigTube BUT -- can't we Men say that about women as well? lmao (just kidding ladies )

Beer, food, and women! sounds like a winning trifecta to me! ;) Cheers Craig!

[Hallslys]

@CraigTube Then come to norway, or google "Rakfisk" it's a fish-dish that actually is rotten when you eat it! :)

[sjporr]

Ive been want to build a still for years now and I think you just pushed me over the edge. So now full steam ahead.....ha so to speak

Enjoy the fruits of your labor

[mackinnon182]

You got an email adress Craig?

Got some photos I could send you, nothing bad honest!

Cheers, happy brewing!

[LongDogBrew]

HHBW Craig...Cheers!

[blawjr]

Where do you get the distilling kits again?

[LoLoCoSt224]

@blawjr Check your local home brew store. A lot of them stock the Still Spirits kits or some other kind of distilling kit.

[coldlogic1]

i would be careful. it will not only make you blind it could kill you if done wrong trust who is makeing that stuff because the could kill you literally. its called Formaldehyde, your a smart guy look it up.

but definatly looks tasteing heh.

[homebeerbrewery]

I hear a lot of fermentation in the background ;-) Great work! HHW!

[4X4jeep74]

Great Vid Craig, Rum, Whiskey, socks and your dirty IPA turned out good. I'd call that a great day. 17

[BeerGeekNation]

Moonshine Wednesday!

[thegrandmarkie]

i seen a tv show where they made beer from a duck pond they ran tests after they made the beer and it was safe to drink and yes they did drink it 

[leedorham]

That was quite a brave first sip.

[jakeanddar]

Wow,those spirits looks great,excellent video Craig! Cheers,17

[rocknrollpriest]

What's 17 mean.

[rubberband3456]

On account of my unfourtunete birth i would be more that welcome to drink that beer as opposed to the crap i have to drink here at the foster home, its a mixture of puke and llama milk, not the best

[1betrman]

Dan ...thanks for the socks...

Great Post ...LOL

[terpsichoreankid]

Haha--awesome vid Craig!

[FegrusMojo]

Irish whiskey must be SMOOOOTH and 40% vol and it only hits you after it's gone right down :D Nice socks btw !!

[civilengineeringtech]

17 GREAT review!!!

[moran1053]

Very Good . Ya Craig spice rum video.

[257milo]

Craig please do a video on making spiced rum. I think it would be a big hit.  I know I'm interested. Thanks from Maryland!

[jakecpunut]

you got me wanting to start drinking liquor again :-)

[HokieHomeBrew]

glad to see the dirty beer came out OK. I had a feeling it would be good.  Cheers for HBW, Craig!

[james92y]

BTW,, I love the sound of the airlocks bubbling away behind the camera . ;0)

[james92y]

Congrats on it coming out ok.. never dump a brew.. all that work .. and you don't have to do nothing to wait to see if it's going to turn out.. great video craig.. I started my own homebrew wednesdays, on my second ;0) check it out. cheers

[arrogantbastardale]

Good choice to post your review of Dan's spirits on YouTube instead of JTV. This way it will be archived forever!

[SgtMantis]

The coolest thing about your broken beer experience, is that it shows us newbs that even the old pros make mistakes, and with this ONE BEER, you made every mistake in the book.

[seanpuptreacy]

The Irish make the best whiskey and this is coming from an Irishman!!!

[stefanattardo]

great video craig ! thumbs up too dan the man also !!

[thegentlearts]

Craig Tube Socks Craig Tube thongs.  Craig your taking the undergarment world by storm.

[geemeff]

Awesoooome!

[gez1308]

Distilling Is Illegal In Australia,lol, Gotta love moonshiners.

[JOMalone3113]

never throw away beer. Even if you get an infection, it may still turn out ok. You'll just have a sour beer...lol I am actually starting to get into sours more. I am actually planning on brewing a few coming up in December or January and letting them sit for a while. I am going to get a few carboys and create a pipeline of sours that can sit for year (potentially) and see what happens. NEVER THROW AWAY BEER! it might turn out great....lol

[MrChristhetrucker]

Didi you put the co2 to the Dirt Beer? See you Friday on your broadcast. !!

[MrBruttalis]

Ahh!! he he sorry... douh :-D guess im a little erhh tired ;-)

[HomeBrewBeerRecipes]

The bubbling noise in the background is music to my ears.

[Unclejona]

Dude, this is what the home brew community is all about.

I'm too jealous of you Craig (down the hatch)

[stoli420]

bloop bloop bloop.... =)

[GibsonsForLife]

I'm always amazed at how much can go wrong and still produce an amazing beer. Thank you, beer, for being so forgiving.

[MrBruttalis]

Hi Greg

Love the ambient sound grawling "mad scientist/brewer at work muhuhuuaaaaa"

[OneCerebralSamurai]

@MrBruttalis I agree... but his name is Craig.

[lordenormas]

your turning red my friend glade your beer came out

[glitch777]

80f can definitely produce fruity esters. but hey, seems like it aint all that bad. great HBW vid!

[spyeagle00]

I don't even drink beer more less home brew it.But i find Craig very intelligent and makes nice videos that i watch any way =)

[Ch0coDK]

@spyeagle00 I don't brew but I just love watching Craig's videos.

I would love it if he made a video of himself home brewing whiskey or rum.

[supervascular]

Dirty IPA you dirty man craig! enjoy

[bebeop1980]

Nice one Craig, thought that one was a gonner.

[MrCaricatures]

I'd love to see you make liquor in some of your videos.

[matt3360]

@kyral210,

In the UK you cannot distill so i have made the "fermented sugar water" brews they are not bad but not amazing.

[DevonHomeBrew]

Craig my old yeasty bottles smell of banana.

[ASXL41]

Glad the batch wasn't ruined!!!

[kyral210]

I am 90% sure those spirits were made by adding flavouring to 'fermented sugar water' brewed with turbo yeast. If I am wrong, please reply to this and let me know how he made them.

[oOoxelAoOo]

@kyral210 You're almost certainly correct, Wikipedia says that in Australia you need a license to even own a still, and the tax on homebrew spirits is in excess of $71AUD per litre.

[LoLoCoSt224]

@kyral210 You are right. In the letter he says that the flavourings are made by Still Spirits. Still Spirits are a New Zealand company that specialise in making home distilling products such as spirit essences that one adds to a neutral spirit produced using turbo yeast, water, dextrose, yeast nutrient, liquid carbon and of course a still.

[spockady]

wow i just noticed how fiercely your fermentor is bubbling!!

[lordofthetrout12]

use the irish whiskey to make a "hot whiskey" the perfect way to enjoy it and it will warm you up on a cold winters night. Its also how i drink my bushmills whiskey

[spockady]

i have a coopers ipa but no bottles left. i will have to wait until i drink them to do another brew. nice vid as usual

[LeJimster]

The bubbling sound of your fermenter is quite soothing =)

[CDMJDMHHC]

this could be called a sour mash method for beer?

[arrogantbastardale]

@CDMJDMHHC Technically, "souring mash" means that during the All Grain process of mashing grains, you leave the mash in the mash tun over night at the mash temperature. Lactobacillus lives on the grains naturally, and can operate at mash temps... after 24 hours, the mash is "sour". I'm going to be experimenting with sour beers very soon; I love them! 17!

[CDMJDMHHC]

@arrogantbastardale it was a joke, good luck and happy brewing .

[arrogantbastardale]

@CDMJDMHHC Ah sorry, the poor medium of text.. cheers!
