A dancer and a brewer... 

[terpsichoreankid]

@ChrisTripp :-D Well done!

[BayAreaBeers]

I just watched all 55 videos of The Basics of Home Brewing Series.

Thank you very much for making them.

[terpsichoreankid]

@BayAreaBeers Holy crap--that's awesome! Thank you so much for watching--it's truly appreciated. Hopefully they helped shed some light on what you were looking for!

[BayAreaBeers]

@terpsichoreankid They did. Now I need the "what to do" videos. I literally have no clue on what to do. I'll figure it all out slowly.

[terpsichoreankid]

@BayAreaBeers Definitely check out my other videos--especially the several brewing series that are on my channel. I go through, step by step, what to do and what you need to watch out for. They should be a great start for you. Cheers!

[BayAreaBeers]

@terpsichoreankid I'm off to the playlists...

Thanks again.

Cheers! I've been getting into Homebrewing since August and Your vids have been great. This couldn't have come at a better time. Just started to Keg! Thanks Hoss!

[terpsichoreankid]

@shinej42 Awesome! :-) I'm very happy to hear I was able to help out! Kegging is awesome and it has been one of the best things to have happen during my brewing experience. Let me know if you have any other questions--I might be able to help further. Cheers!

Great video for those just getting into kegging. For session and typical gravity beers, nothing beats kegging.

[terpsichoreankid]

@duckmanco04 It's so true!  Cheers--and thank you!

[HokieHomeBrew]

very good instructional video man...

[terpsichoreankid]

@HokieHomeBrew Thanks!  Cheers!

[Omarsan]

Cheers for that video Joe. Some great tips there, but fyi not everyone will be able to put there arm all the way inside the keg. At least I cant even get as far as my elbow even. Had to use the brush for my glass fermenter. :-)

[terpsichoreankid]

@Omarsan Yeah--I knew that would be an issue for some out there. Using a carboy brush or similar is probably the best way to go if you really want to give it a scrub! Cheers!

[LongDogBrew]

Well done Joe...Cheers!

[terpsichoreankid]

@LongDogBrew Cheers! and thank you!

[Wayner665]

Yet another good vid. Thanks!

[terpsichoreankid]

@Wayner665 You bet! Thanks for watching!

[remthewanderer]

Can I recommend lubricating your pressure release valve gaskets? I had a leak that took me forever to find. Turned out a little lube on the PRV and I was back in business. I just unscrew them, apply lube and re-tighten. that last part is the most important!

Thanks for the great videos.

[terpsichoreankid]

@remthewanderer Most definitely--I forgot to mention that! Since it is also rubber, it makes sense to keep it lubricated as well. Cheers!

This sounds a little dumb, but I used LD Carlson Easy Clean as a sanitizer for about the first year I brewed. Guy at the local homebrew store told me that's what I needed. Never had any type of infection and still haven't. I use star-san now just because of paranoia. Just goes to show if you clean very well there is little chance for infection. Great walkthrough!

[terpsichoreankid]

@hitau1063 True! I do know too that oxygen based cleansers form a mild hydrogen peroxide, so that change in PH probably nukes anything living in there. Thanks for the kind words on my vid!

[MaximAvs]

Nice to see more Basics of Brewing vids!! Great job!!

[terpsichoreankid]

@MaximAvs Thanks Sean! I'm trying to keep posting informational videos as often as possible--with my first slew of vids (over 50!) I ran a little dry on ideas for someone new to home brewing. I think I'm going to delve into processes next, or maybe 'best practices' or something... Cheers!

[irishfan84n]

Great vid man! Very informative!

[terpsichoreankid]

@irishfan84n Thank you!

[arrogantbastardale]

Great video as always!

[terpsichoreankid]
