How to Brew an Oatmeal Stout with Joe (Part 2)

This is the second of a four part series on how to easily brew your own oatmeal stout from a Midwest Supplies extract kit. Join me in this second part of the series as we go through these steps in the brewing process: correctly mixing in your malt extract, safely bringing your wort to a full boil, adding your hops, and adding in your fining agent at the end of the boil.

It's also important to remember that I brew my beer in a rather small apartment--so it is true that just about anyone with any space can brew their own delicious home brewed beer! If you have a few extra square feet, you can brew your own beer easily and affordably.

What size pot is that?

Aren't you worried about that melted malt extract container imparting carcinogens onto your beer?

[terpsichoreankid]

@PTBYOOJ No--the container did not melt and is rated for food use--so I agree with FTfilm on this one!

You shouldn't use hot water from the tap for edible purposes. A significant amount of lead leeches from the pipe when the water is hot. Google "hot tap water lead cdc" if you're not convinced. Otherwise, great videos.

@wpc1013 Interesting...

@PTBYOOJ In Germany, we got PVC thats proofed for Food. Those can be heated and will not let carcinogens or anything bad into the contained food.

I guess, it'll be the same in the US

@wpc1013 Im not sure about the states but in Canada we are not allowed to use lead solder for potable water, nor is there any lead in the pipes. Dont believe everything you see on the internet.

@SimmeringPotpourri Awesome--thank you!

Nice job. Very professional. I found your videos since my memory on how to brew got a little rusty. This helped a great deal.
