All Grain Homebrewing from Grain to Glass, part 2

Part 2: This video series describes in great detail an entire all-grain homebrewing process. Beginners as well as seasoned brewers will hopefully learn something about homebrewing from this video. All feedback, good and bad, is welcome. The fermenter was purchased here: http://www.ontariorecycling.com/

Excellent video...what is the recipe for your iodine spray pls.

[JoePolvino]

@Amac47 I just add enough to resemble weak tea. I have since switched to Star San: very easy to use, and well proven.

[jat27733]

why take a gravity reading at 1 week if you are going to ferment for 4 weeks? Isnt this just another contamination risk?

[JoePolvino]

@jat27733 To see if fermentation is proceeding, stuck, or finished. Just use a sanitized baster or syringe.

I really enjoyed your two part series on making all grain ales. You are extraordinary!

[JoePolvino]

@atvogel Thanks! I enjoy making them.

Great video joe, I am in the process of making a boil keggle and was wondering how you had your drain setup. Anyway you might be able to post a pic of it? I just got a plate chiller and they are very sensitive with hop particles. Looking for a good way to whirlpool/ and leave most of that in the keggle.

@JoePolvino Is that a preference, or do you not like them.

[jakimwilk1]

@jakimwilk1 Then you would still need additional pressure to pump the beer from the keg and out of the tap. CO2 I think is pretty necessary with a keg.

[jakimwilk1]

@bagpiperhipple You could, but then you may have to deal with the sediment from your priming sugar in the bottom of the keg.

[bagpiperhipple]

so if I were to buy a keg like that but didn't have CO2 could I just add the sugar to the keg then seal it for a few weeks and also get carbonation the same way?
