hey im in VA, do you sell your beer?

[branwithoutclaws]

Thanks for the info. Anyone complaining about the stylistic elements of this video is a fool. If you are looking for scholarly info on the subject try a book.

Richmond VA? Small world, I might have to pay a visit.

[BrainChild42]

If beer is made up of only 4 ingredients, then why does every beer taste unique?

[HardywoodFilms]

@BrainChild42 There are many different varieties of hops, many different ways of malting and roasting barley, many different yeast strains and all different make ups of water that are used. The 'four ingredients' are referring to beer in it's most common form. However, many beers use other types of malted and un-malted grain such as wheat, rye and oats in addition to barley. Sometimes spices are used, sometimes they are aged on oak or in used whiskey barrels.... and the variations go on.

[newFaction64]

This is unbelievably annoying to watch. I was hoping for information not flashing

[HardywoodFilms]

@newFaction64 I completely agree. We were going for an old-timey effect to make it slightly more interesting. The result wasn't exactly what we had imagined. We will try and post an updated version soon.... perhaps we can spice it up with a car alarm going off in the background.

[LunasCraincloud]

groovy vid

[MrCockSlut]

Nice information but felt like I was gunna fit

[brightstarexp]

Nice video! Solid information with a well written narrative. Also amusing/funny old-timey effects. Also, water: "not bad, but kind of bland" hahaha.

[104Stealthy]

Eric, I enjoyed reading your responses to beer brewing more than reading a NY Times best seller...funny and candid.  I've always wanted to get into home brew, but being in the Air Force the past 26 years has made that difficult. Now I'm about to retire and will (hopefully) have time to focus on things I want to do. You helped move home brew waaaaay up the list. Thanks . . . Casey H

[RBBanner]

Fantastic.  Very informative.

[phazeeight]

Nicely done fellas

[the4thj]

Awesome!

[steve45ca]

Loved the video guys.... the old fashioned look and audio was perfect.... informative and entertainling =]

[flatliner35]

Good job guys! Always great to see people brewing, no matter how they do it, as long as one ends up with a great tasting beer in the end! Cheers guys!

[TscTempest]

Love the retro promo movie voice over! Fantastic!

Cinematographers you may not be but I think you guys were out to take the piss here - well done, it's informative and entertaining.

[Jethroguitarist]

this is a great video, great looking brews too!

[williamvelezlamberty]

nice video

[williamvelezlamberty]

nice vieo . o and hi from puerto rico

[xaint2]

Pros:

Brewing from base resources (not from extracts).

Funny.

Nice looking beer.

A quite nice overview about the brewing process.

Cons:

Bad quality (did you have broken camera?)

Additives to the beer(2:32).

Boys, as the homebrewer i can say - thanks for this video.

Xaint, homebrewer from Czech Republic

[RGH1502]

The "additive" is all natural Irish moss. It is no more harmful or un-natural than the yeast used. You should try it some time! it ensures a clearer beer. I used it in one brew and the beer came out crystal clear, so I use it in every beer now. Great video! I have yet to make an AG batch, I do partial mashes. I moved to Europe and now live in an apartment. Still enough room to brew but AG would be tight.

[tomroeder]

I hate that someone would purposefully make their video look that bad. This video should have been about information, not entertainment.

[ERICMCKAY9]

Ha! Wasn't exactly on purpose...we're brewers, not cinematographers.

[DBHEcho]

@ERICMCKAY9 dont listen to this dick hole, we need more 40s propaganda brewing videos.

[cuallito]

Very nice!

[aekevin77]

I've been considering doing some home brewing. This video was cool and helpful.

Do you recommend anywhere I could purchase all the supplies I need? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

[ThrowinFrags]

I just filled my first keg using their method! It taste fantastic!!

[UmpaEG]

What a good video,I did not like the picture quality. Perhaps without the effects and a little more hires. Other than that I really liked it

[vik238]

OR go to your local beer store

[bs1ayer]

abit dirty haveing a dog near the beer when its being made lol

[kirkload]

Can someone explain me why they don't use malt to do the brewing ???? alot of the other videos use malt and sugar while they are boiling, is it because the grains contained both.

[ERICMCKAY9]

In brewing, the word "malt" is short for malted barley. In this video, we use "all grain" malt, just like a commercial craft brewery would, however, this approach does take a few more steps. Most beginners will find it simpler and less frustrating to start out brewing with malt extract, which is available as a powder or a syrup. Once you get the hang of it, try all-grain - the difference in taste is similar to the difference in instant coffee compared to freshly ground coffee. Good luck!

[marky11245]

They are using MALTED barley, aka malt, which is barley that has been allowed to start germinating and then dried. They are doing all grain brewing in this video, which is about a 5-6 hour process (not counting time to ferment and then bottle condition) versus a 3 to 3.5 hour process when malt extract (liquid or dried) is used, as the mashing step (basically soaking then rinsing the grain) is bypassed. I have been homebrewing (usign extract) for a year; a great hobby and not that difficult.

[thickdarkbeer]

damn..the finished product looked good in that mug

[leloodallasmultipass]

wow. I was going to order some equipment to brew my own but now I am terrified.

[chyrd]

why?? it's easier than you think...

[fritsie123]

Perhaps first start with a malt extract kit. That's even easier: boil the extract with water to make the wort. Chill it, and let it ferment.

Then, do second fermentation in the bottle (or keg).

Very easy to do. And when you keep things sanitized it can't go wrong.

[EyeCandyAndy1]

Good video

I love the 1950's narrarator

you can also smoke your barley and hops before brewing for a Rauchbeir or soke them in fruit juice or really any other liquid for a more complex taste

[ironwood99]

Good job. It actually is a fantastic primer. Puts together what I've been reading and buying equipment to finally get moving on... the art of all-grain brewing..

[HowToBrew]

Cool vid, sure it helped alot of people. YouTube brewers should join the Brewers Of YouTube group.

[iateinsulation]

really clear and kinda funny, thanks.

[holynihilism]

local farm animals :D thx for the great vid!

[ericjwilson08]

That is a great foundation to start learning to home brew. Great video!

[calebcharles]

Brilliant, concise, expert information delivered with humor and candor. Well done.

[TC2642]
