How to brew with Dry Malt Extract - Epic Beer Dude

Another homebrew Wednesday on a Sunday video .. this time I'm brewing with Briess dry malt extract ( DME )

I also used some specialty grains such as Special B , Caramunic Malt & Wheat along with cinnamon bark and cinnamon sticks and even grains of paradise!

One handed camera skills! Do you find that the degasser aerates the wort well enough for these big beers? I'm not happy with my aeration pump, and I need to get a degasser for mead anyway.

@arrogantbastardale haha thanks, ya the degasser works really really well, i never brew without it... that coupled with the starter on this beer had my airlock going off within 8 hours!

great vid so this is gonna be a red hots ale???

[epicbeerdude]

@mikey2cool i added it late so its mostly for aroma .. didn't want the beer to be spicy i just wanted that cinnamon smell :)

@zodiak3000 haha you caught me! the reason i used a starter for this one is because i'm gonna secondary it for a month and then bottle it. i was gonna just double pitch but i was being cheap and as you see from the video of i have tons of DME sitting around so i figured what the heck. plus, 4 years in 11+% alc the yeast is gonna be hurtin at bottling time, im trying to avoid having to repitch at bottling too.. so the starter should do the trick ;)

nice video using extract man. and wait...what was that i seen? a stir plate with a starter? i could have sworn you commented a few vids back that you never used or needed starters. good looks...
