I really enjoyed your video, great job! I have a couple of questions. When you sparge the grains do you use regular tap water? Also, I like the idea of making dog treats out of the spent grains and was wondering how you make them? Thanks again!
I must say you have done one of the best instructionals on brewing. I have been reading a lot but it is very confusing...though it makes perfect sense now. The only thing I am confused about is your video says to boil your wort for 60 min, then it says to add the hops at 60 min. What is the total boiling time? Because if the hops are supposed to be added 15min before, wouldn't that be at 45min...or is the total boiling time longer than 60 min and if so how long? Thank you for your videos gr8 job
@NHMoldInspector Hey NH, thanks for the encouragement. You do boil the wort for 60 minutes(if the recipe calls for it, some call for 90 mins). You will normally have 2 or 3 "hop additions". If it's a 60 minute boil and you add your hops right at the beginning that would be 60 minutes. You then add another addition(whatever the recipe calls for ie. 1oz) at 15 minutes left in the 60 min boil. Hope this clarifies. When I looked back I wish I made that part clearer. Cheers.
hey great video thanks for sharing, i have a question, i'm having trouble finding corn sugar (powdered) i can only find it in it's liquid version, do you know if i can use it, obviously i would't add it to each bottle, i would dissolve it in the carboy before bottling, am i right? do you know the quantity that i need to add?, thank you!
@prlm84 Hey Prim, glad you enjoyed the vids. You can use cane sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, whatever you want. Add 1/2 TEASPOON to each bottle or 3/4 CUP mixed in to your bottling bucket. If you do the bottling bucket, make sure it's clean and you just mix it slowly then rack it into your bottles. Hope this helps. Cheers
@videosteffen101 It all depends on the alcohol percentage of the beer. The longer you ferment your beer the better. 2-3 weeks is standard for me. Beers made with kits I normally only ferment 10 days. They are simpler sugars and need less time especially with the dry yeast. If you are doing all grain around 5% I would suggest 2-3 weeks. The longer it's left, the more flavours.
Man you are the greatest. Trying out new things, showing us your skills. You are so cool out there doing your thing. Keep the vids coming please please!!!
@Imasofat Hey Gary, this is my first brew since I've been back home so my last batch was almost over a year ago but at that time I'd do a batch every 2 months or so. Hope you and Melissa are keeping well.
