Homebrewing "Mini-Mash" style

"Mini-Mash" is difficulty level 3 of 4 when it comes to homebrewing. It is an easy step up for the partial-extract brewer. Here I am going over the steps of brewing Morebeer's Oatmeal Stout (kit320 on their website)

@williabk - Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful

Great video. Thank you for showing how easy it is to mash without buying tons of equipment. Much appreciated!

@jtylersingletary - Thanks, I'll tell you the cheap and simple "Phil's Phalse Bottom" I got coupled with a 20$ 5gal picnic cooler was the best thing I've made so far... second to the fermentation chiller of course... It doesn't HAVE to be a 500$ stainless this, that, or the other...

You've convinced me to upgrade from the extracts. Thanks -- great video

Awesome! You'll love the results, the more you control the process the more it is YOUR beer.

Going All-grain was great for me, that and the fermentation chiller to control my fermentation temps was the best I've done so far

cheers!

Cheers man. Should have watched this yesterday before I did my first mini mash with an Irish Stout. Have an old fermenting bucket that I could easily turn into a mash tun.

Thanks Dan, welcome back, and let us know about the video!!

cheers!

Nice video. I'm getting back into brewing after a 5 year break. I was just starting the mini-mash stage when I stopped and your videos are a great way for me to get back up to speed and feel confident about getting right back into mini-mash brewing.

Who knows I may do a video also :).

Thanks for sharing.

[OPE08]

I've seen that done, I've thought of making my own so I can control the holes!

Thanks

Cheers!

Ever use a colander to serve as a sparger when doing martial mash? They make 'em that will sit on the lip of a plastic fermenter like yours. Good video ... informative!
