BEGINNER STOVETOP BREWING (2/x) - Replacing Hops And Grains

This is a LOW COMMITMENT method of brewing that you can brew INDOORS on your STOVE TOP! No mashing or fancy tools required! This is meant to REPLACE any of the tin can or Mr. Beer methods of brewing you might be getting sold on. BE SMART! Do NOT waste money on these kits!

Here we show you how to decipher a recipe, and what you can replace in the recipe.

Do NOT get sold on pre-packaged kits that will turn out poor beer! Do NOT get sold on promises of 'beer in 6 days!' Do NOT listen to the guy who's been brewing for 40 years and 'never had a problem' and 'it tastes great!'. Do NOT get sold on people trying to 'sell' you things or have ultimate motives.

And what ever you do, do NOT buy any Cooper's beer brewing products regardless of who you see online advertising for them. It is money down the drain. Take it from someone who got suckered in himself.

it's a good thing Tom is still living or he'd be turning over in his grave.

@bmeyer44 I said on the Upping the Stakes video that I would be brewing the EXACT recipe all grain the day after I brew this DME version so I could compare them back to back.

[bmeyer44]

@TakeSomeAdvice They'll be different...I can tell you that just by looking at what you are changing on the recipe.

Either one will be good, just not comparable.

[TakeSomeAdvice]

@bmeyer44 I disagree. They should actually be in the same ball park and comparible seeing as they'll have the same non fermentables and IBU's. The dry hoping, yeast, and fermentation temps will be the same. The question is, 'how much' different. The big thing for me is especially the head retention and LACING!! :)

I want to make peanut butter cookies, but I don't have any flour, peanut butter or baking soda.

SOOOOO...I'm going to use cornmeal, butter flavor crisco and baking powder....do you think it will work?

Oh and since I'm outta vanilla too, I'm going to use mint flavoring...

it says to bake at 350 for 15 min, but since I'm in a hurry I'm gonna crank it to self clean and only cook them for 7 min.

Anybody want some cookies?

[ChadzBeerReviews]

you make it look easy

Doesn't Munich have to be mashed according to John Palmer

@bmeyer44 I know, it's like a train wreck in super slow motion

[jturie]

Nice lecture from someone who has been brewing for about 4 months. 22 minutes and nothing has happened yet.

[laportelsl272]

TSA is only stiring the pot. SATIRE. Watch his vids. Yeast starter vid should seal the deal in figuring out that this guy only wants to get views to make partner.

[pinemanj]

@pinemanj Sorry I meant Munich is NOT a substitute for Aromatic.

[bmeyer44]

KISS

Keep It Simple Stupid

[bmeyer44]

@pinemanj we're beating our heads against the wall here.

I'd love to see TSA succeed as much as the next person, but learn things first ...THEN guide the new brewers.

[pinemanj]

I hate to break it to you, but you're a noob yourself. You don't know half as much as you'd like to think you do. How long have you been brewing again? Munich is NOT a substitute for Munich. Crystal 40 is NOT a substitute for Crystal 20. Nugget is NOT a substitute for Simcoe.

There's been a ton of research on hop acids/utilization. Why do you say no one has done experimentation? Bittering hops matter more than you'd like to think too. Look up cohumulone. How many batches have you brewed?

[DuffMan5ABV]

FYI, you have almost as many Munich malts as you do wheat. They range from 6-20L.

[DuffMan5ABV]

@bmeyer44---The 5 pounds of 2-row pretty much puts you doing an all grain, seems pointless not to just add a couple more pounds of grain and skip the DME. The simplicity is great, it leaves a lot of room to sub in some darker kilned malts from Munich to Special Roast in place of the 2-row .
