[CraigTube]

@TheJoker2484 Well they do make great beer kits, no doubt. I do not work for Coopers however.

It cut me off... Lol

Yeh, you didn't finish the honey lager on camera.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy your videos. I'm just curious. I don't mean to offend.

Just glad I listened to my local brew store guy who advised me to add only 300g of honey and taste it before I added a kilo. Turns out I didn't need that much!

This is a great summer drink for the hot Australian climate. I always make sure I have a supply of it. It's the house beer!

Thanks for the videos, they have helped me LOTS

@EdibleHomeGarden I think it was 500 grams. It was nice, but not mind blowing. I prefer brown sugar.

Hi, craig great videos.

I have a question too ask you if you have the time,

is their corbonation in home brews and if so how would you go about doing that?

thanks a bunch!

@jekyllnhyde360 When beer ferments, it creates carbon dioxide. During bottling, we add a small amount of sugar to the bottles. When the beer is added, it ferments the sugar and creates CO2 which is trapped in the sealed bottle, thus carbonating the beer.

Buddy, I love your videos, you got me onto homebrewing about a year ago---thank-you so much!!!! We have a farm in southern Saskatchewan, and lately i have been making an awesome cider, using the apples from our garden, blackberrys, and cherries, got the Alcohol by vol to 10%, its great thanks man!!!!

Hey Craig big fan here, but tried brewing this exact same honey recipe,was very disapointed.Have tried other recipes you have done and have been impressed.I found the honey brew was kinda flat, hardly any head, and somewhat cidery almost too sweet.Then again its been bottled for only 2 weeks,think it might get better with age?

The greatest Trolling in the history of mankind would be to show a video of this guy drinking beer in third world countries where water is scarce. :) I've never seen a man enjoy a beverage so much in my life. :D

Yet another great vid. You rock man.

I started home brewing again and I love it. Our government charges about 60% tax on beer so it's well worth while the time. Great videos.

I've got 2 cans of Coopers Lager,I was thinking about 2 cans of LME & either 500 grams of corn sugar or 2 lbs. of honey.Maybe even throw in some maltodextrin.Am I close on my receipe?

[Theclassiccarnut]

quick question, great job by the way. Home brew cost vs. just picking up at liquor store?

[kizioko]

Hey I watched your video on brewing with honey. Have you ever considered using agave syrup? I wonder how this would turn out. Would make a cool video..

[TheEpiphan3]
