  • can someone tell me why hes keeping his carboys cold? normally i just keep mine room temperature and everythings fine.. is it because hes using grains for his wort instead of something pre-made and prepared from the store?

  • It gets very hot where I'm at. During some months, it is important to keep the fermentations cool. I always find that ale tastes "cleaner" at slightly lower temperatures (I believe Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is fermented at a lower temp), and lagers definitely have to be fermented at a low temp.

  • was that a wooden spoon :O  !!!!

  • It is a wooden paddle. And it works just fine as long as you don't stick it into the cooled wort. Anything pre-boil is OK.

  • why are you fermenting in your "cold storage room"?

  • For temperature control--during seasons when I need it.

  • Nice set up!

  • I'm so jealous of your set up. Do you sell your homebrew? It seems like a good small operation

  • Mmmmmmm.....................I love Lager's. nice cold set up. thanks for posting.

    wife wont let me brew at home (yet,lol) one beer-bomb video from my cousin brewing was all she needed to see, sigh.

  • @JohnRockwell Have you tried any gluten free beer brewing?. I made banana honey millet beer, it tastes great, and has the same alcohol content if not more! ,and its way easier to digest .

  • It looks like you brew a fairly large amount of beer. Do you actually drink all that beer? Also, I am going to start brewing some myself, I want to use all natural and basic ingredients, it looks like your approach does just that. I've seen some vids where people are using extract of this, and concentrate of that... what's the point. Hey anyway, thanks for posting.

  • Dear John, we have watched and re-watched this many times and still enjoy it. It is addictive because you know the results are perfect and the taste excellent. Very informative.

  • he is making lagger. Laggers ferment in cold temperature while ales at room temperature.

  • I enjoy watching your vids. I may have to say that by observing the operation there. ( you may be a redneck). I would like to be there. This makes me want to brew some beer. Cheers.

  • Does the Yeast starter help ferment faster? Or are you just doing because you're using liquid yeast? And is liquid yeast faster?

  • @knewok I live in Florida and the 2nd beer batch i made turned out sour because i didn't keep it cool enough.
