Super Easy All Grain Homebrew Beer Brew in a Bag Method Autumn Amber Ale

If you think making all grain home brew beer is hard, this video is for you.

Don't let anyone scare you away from making your own all grain homebrew!! It doesn't have to be hard, it can be really really easy!!!

Made this brew on June 17, 2010. From Midwest Homebrew and Winemaking Supplies, this is their Autumn Amber Ale. Cost $19.00 US

Grains:
9lbs domestic 2-row
2oz Special B
8oz Caramel 80L
2oz Roasted Barley

Note: I specified on my order that they should crush the grain for me. Make sure you do this if you want it to come to you already crushed.

Hops:
1oz Hallertau at the beginning of boil, so at 60 minutes
1oz Fuggle at 2 minutes

Muntons dry yeast

Also used Whirlfloc tablet for clarifying.

The fella who made my brew kettle put me onto this "brew in a bag" method. As you can see, it's a really fun way to brew. Thanks Dan!

If you're interested in getting one of these, Dan makes and sells these on ebay, his user name there is dapurse31, or just search ebay for 10 Gallon Mash Tun Brew Kettle New. I'm really pleased with mine.

Update -- Dan just sent me a metal mesh insert that will keep my biab bag from touching the bottom, will try that next brew -- Thanks Dan!

TNX for the video! I brewed my first all grain & BIAB with your Autumn Ale recipe! Tony, DesMoines, IA, USA.

@tony4516 Alright Tony, wtg!! You're in for a great ale. Try the New Zealand next, it's in another of my videos, that stuff is such a massive hoppy treat. Cheers!

This is a GREAT video! Thank you for the indepth help. I'm new to brewing...

Is That stainless steel?  If it's aluminum, it might impart off tastes to your beer. It's too reactive with acids, etc.

[steeljan]

@backyardsounds Aluminum is fine. The trick is to do a first brew and let the interior get that nice dark layer imparted and never try to get that off, leave it. A seasoned heavy aluminum brew pot is totally great. Plus it's lighter in weight and so easier to wash. In brewing, you wash a LOT. Bet I can spot a brewer by his/her dishpan hands, lol.

Yes. This was the video that turned me in to a BIAB method user. I had 3 batches of extract brewing under my belt before I converted. Thanks!

[steeljan]

@MrOlaboss Alright, congrats. Way to go!
