Homebrew Video - Trip To Mother Earth Brew Co. and My Next Batch Of Beer

I'm ready to brew up a new batch of beer so I head over to my local homebrew supply shop, Mother Earth Brew Co., to buy ingredients. Take a tour of the shop and see what grains, yeast and hops I pick up for my bourbon oak imperial stout.

Looks like a really cool store, brewery, and beer. Sorry it took me so long to watch the vid. Looking forward to seeing the beer you make. Cheers!

@TheEndosymbiosis Haha, slacker. I'll try to get that brew day video posted soon.

Nice........... Wow that's allot of dark grains... I'm thinking Imperial Porter with that much blk. patent.

"It came in with an OG of 1.112. A bit lower then what the calculator predicted but I kind of expected that"

VERY NICE... only 2L starter for that big of a beer?

add chips only to 2nd unless you want a whiskey beer ... i added a little of the steeping whiskey to 1-22oz bottle, even after a year it tasted like a Boilermaker.

BREW ON !

@ZaBuDaB This recipe is somewhat outside the box so I wanted to try it. I usually make 0.5L starters so I figured 2L would work for this beer.

I plan on draining the bourbon from the chips and just using the chips in secondary. If I get enough oak but not bourbon then I'll pull the chips and add a bit of bourbon from the bottle in. But this will all depend on what it tastes like when it's pretty much done attenuating.

@StumpyJoeJr .. I hear you, i brew way outside the box... i'm sure it will taste great, just give it the time it needs to condition.

when i brew a og 1.100+ i'll use a cake from a 1.040-50 or make a 3.5L starter, the more yeast the better... what temp are you fermenting at ? its been pretty cool up in LA, i just brewed an IPA and ended up using Danstar Nottingham, my house temp is in the high 50's and its bubbling away, should be good down to 54f.

BREW ON !

[StumpyJoeJr]

@ZaBuDaB My house is between 59 and 65F right now. Considering how warm the fermentation gets I think that should be a good temperature range for it. I can't use my temperature controlled freezer right now since I have a keg of beer in it.

@StumpyJoeJr I was just going to ask how it came out, youtube is screwy with the comments. I never saw this comment. I am sure you will be able to dial in your Mash Efficiency as you brew more on your system thats almost my exact same OG when I did the coffee chocolate imperial stout I am brewing.

Just finished my last 2010 Bigfoot. Looking forward to the 2011!

@JordonGB That was my first attempt at kegging so hopefully it's a decent video.

I wasn't thinking The Abyss when I planned on brewing it but there will be some similarities.

Great video! I love all the homebrewing videos, and I love homebrewing myself! I was gonna ask for a request to do a kegging video, but I just found it on your channel! This seems like an Abyss clone almost? Keep us updated on how this turns out for sure!
