Complete BUDGET Home Brewery Setup 2023 (Under $1,000)
This is my take on a budget home brewing setup that includes a kegerator, temperature controlled fermentation, stainless steel fermenters & and electric all in one system brewing system that is feature PACKED. This is a great setup for a beginner that wants to have a brewing setup on a budget that makes amazing beer or someone who wants to downsize but keep a lot of the features you get with more expensive and larger equipment.
Granted, this could be done even cheaper in a couple of ways, mainly the brewing system and kegerator hardware (Faucets, shanks & duotight fittings) but these are well worth the extra money if you have it.

Good to see you highlight the fact that the ground wire has the different connector as this must be the most important to get right for safety, Great video.
Nice
I’m entering my first comp this fall.
Underrated videos sir! Excellent job
Good review, the replaceable probe is the clincher. You pay for what you get.
Thanks for a great introduction of the process. What kind of barley varieties do you use? how do you select your varieties?
How did that omega kolsch 2 yeast work out? No need to do a starter? I've been wondering about this yeast for a while now. Hopefully, it turned out great! Enjoy.
Thanks for sharing from admiral maltings!!!
Great video. Appreciate that you mentioned the PH before adding the dry hops. Since I’ve started paying attention to my PH I’ve noticed the PH when dry hopping has a big impact on flavor and aroma. I feel like this could also be considered a WC Pilsner, if not for the massive dry hop. Sounds awesome!
Heyo! Loose hops don't clog your pump? I have the Brewzilla 3.1.1, looks like you have ver4. Better pump?
Haven't home-brewed for quite some time (for so many reasons!) You have a great brewery here... ) I subscribed immediately, and I am now homebrewing vicariously through you until I can get back into it! Keep brewing! Thanks.
Hey this is the first I’ve seen of the exchilerator mongoose. Pretty nice looking. Can you be any more specific about its performance? Is it really just as good as the jaded versions? Like just as fast?
I think it worked as well as the JaDeD Hydra did. Wouldn’t hesitate buying either.
Love it dude! So what’s the story on why you down sized and simplified? I also sold my unitank because kegs are just so easy to clean and i didn’t like dealing with dumping trub and dry hops, floating dip tubes are so no fuss!
Where you located I’m near FW too!
This is one of the best videos I seen on malting! Thanks
Dude really solid content here with some actually insights into making these beers well. I’m right there with you on the the mash temps, the FG and hopping rates for these beers. 🍻 I also just simplified my brewery a lot and sold my unitank and brewtools to go simpler. Just trying to get to keep it fun while still making world class beers.
Beer buying tip no. 7 The more you wear you cap backwards, the more you look like a retard.
I noticed you just throw the hops into the kettle (no filter) do you just run them through pump recirc and transfer without any issues or do you take steps to prevent clog?
Great video. Question unrelated tho, what do you call the magnetic red arrow looking shelf holders?
I would say using co2 at the isn't necessary. When putting in beer you want oxygen to be present, hence oxygenation stones etc.
Keeping the unitank under pressure if you aren’t going to fill it in a few hours is to prevent any chance of bacteria/wild yeast from entering since it’s under positive pressure.
is that the 65L version or 35L?
35L version
I just brewed my hazy yesterday , very similar , but it’s all Nelson . I call it the full Nelson .
Hell yeah. Nelson is the best!
The more you know the longer it takes. Ignorance is bliss. I do envy your unitank.
I no longer own them for the time reason alone, features are really nice to have though!
Yeah agreed. It's so much work in comparison to a simple fermenter. I bought a Brewtools MiniUni, which only has a top and bottom port. So i can pressure ferment, carbonise, drop hops oxygen free, dump trub and do CIP cleaning without having to dismantle and clean too much.
Where did you get the bag your malt pipe was in? Cool vid.
Brewbag.com
New sub. Love the content. Glad i found your channel
Thanks for the comment! It’s appreciated
Just bought their key lime gose.
What did you think? I like it!
For what you must change a pump?🤔 or is it an unreliable fancy brewkettle?😁
I bought the unit not working for heavy discount, it just needed a new pump and was good to go.
Your futur self dont agree with you it seems hahah Im a 3 vessel guy. They are the BEST but they take for ever to clean 😅
I am going to brew this recipe shared on Yakima Valley Hops. The Hop Syndicate. I was wandering about water profile. I am going to use RO water.
Sulfate - 150ppm / Chloride - 75ppm / Calcium - 55ppm / Magnesium- 8ppm
Buying used it how I got started and still look for deals.. CAUTION: buying used CO2 tanks, check the date.. if they have to be “Hydro” tested.. it’s gonna cost almost as much as a new tank..
Good advice!
It can also be worth it to buy out of date CO2 tanks though. I paid $25 for 3 20lb tanks that were out of date. Brought them to a weld supply shop and traded them in for $30 each. It ended up costing under $40 per tank!
@@colinq true, I would suggest calling a “re-fill” shop first.. see if they will take “trade in” tanks.. and what they will offer you would be good to know prior to purchasing
Totally agree. I've been brewing for 8 years and have spent a lot on all kinds of set-ups. Scaling back and simplifying is best. For whatever reason, we all seem to have to learn this the hard way! Hopefully newer brewers see this and decide to keep it small and simple to get the most enjoyment out of the hobby. Thanks for the great video.
It’s so funny how a lot of us tend to go through the same experience. At the same time, I don’t think we would appreciate the simplicity if we haven’t had the “elaborate” system. I do hope people getting into home brewing see this and understand you don’t need nice equipment to make great beer and save some money!
Miller lite is a fine German Pilsner….and the best light beer IMHO 😂 cheers 🍻
Gotta keep them on hand for sure! 🍺🤘
Miller Lite has nothing to do with Germany. It's not even old world. It was developed in 1967 at a New York brewery. I passed through the hands of a few different breweries under different names until it ended up at Miller brewing and was renamed Miller LIte in the 1970's. It is classified as an American Lager.
@@Homebrew58 I was mistaken, the can just says a fine Pilsner, I thought it said a fine German Pilsner 🤦🏻♂️ even though deep down I know it has nothing to do with Germany
@@Homebrew58 Technically unless a pilsner is brewed in Germany it is not a "German Pilsner." So any American craft pilsner labeled "German" is a misnomer. Technically speaking of course. This is by some breweries label them "German style pilsner."
It's wise to step back and think about what one really needs to make good beer.
This is true
Water treatment Oxygen displacement Temperature control You're golden.
I agree with you 100% It doesn’t take much money to make great beer.
It doesn’t! This is even “fancy”’ish
You using floating dip tubes in your fermentation keg?
I am. Check out my latest video, I cover my setup.
i want to make an imperial stout only issue is i can only hold 7 1/2 gallons in my kettle. im looking for 13-14 percent is there anything i can do? dme. lme? partial mash?
What you can do is two mashes: Do your first mash as normal and then use the wort from your first mash for the second mash, top off second mash with needed water. After both mashed, check gravity and if you want a higher OG/SG, add some Dextrose. I’m not a fan of DME.
This was a real Eye Opener, loved every second of it. Thank you Team for putting this video together for us. Cheers rom Aussie.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gooseberries grow here in my province of Newfoundland, Canada.
Never had any before myself
Love the content. I have a Gen 4 120 35L as well. Still dialing it all in. I have a couple of questions for you. Curious if you have tried the David Heath approach with modern boil times of 30 mins with this machine? Also, I'm a hop head as well so just wondering if you have you ever done a Hazy Pale Ale video in the past? Or plan on doing one on this machine in a new video? Thanks!
Thanks! I haven’t done much looking into short boils, I still do minimum 60 minute boils, if not longer. I find the mash efficiency with adjunct heavy beers (30-40%) tend to be terrible. I’m averaging 58-60% mash efficiency with this system. I don’t mind though, I just add more grain or boil longer to meet the SG needed. Otherwise, with all barley mashes I see the typical 76-80% mash efficiency’s with this unit. I haven’t done a Hazy Pale Ale yet but I sure can add that to the list!
@@HopKillerBrewery awesome stuff. Looking forward to more videos.
These new IPAs are so good! Way to spread the good word of the new WC IPA. I was going to make a vid too, but having a baby definitely got in the way. Cheers to brewing with kids! 😂
They really are! I love them and a the traditional IPA. Leaning toward this style more though. I was suppose to brew last weekend but being a parent got in the way so I know the feeling!
A fellow flip flop brewer!!! Gotta watch out for us dudes that brew in flip flops 😂 cheers 🍻
Flip Flop brewers for life. OSHA who?

Fantastic video, great insights into the malting process. Quality all round. thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic explanation. Great video, thanks for sharing!
So my takeaway is you're particular to the quality of ingredients you put in your products. Cool.
I mean, kind of? The steps they take in order to make locally grown malt in a traditional way is more of the point. Of course they should care about quality.
@@HopKillerBrewery Well, I would have assumed that quality would be the result? You should hear the arguments I have with my German neighbors here regarding the quality of beers being brewed in the U. S. now. Much like the revolution in wines a few years ago, where it was shown that the U. S. produces world class wines, brewers in America are making beers that easily hold up to the best beers brewed anywhere. It's difficult to find U. S. craft beers here, but I see them sometimes.
We are certainly particular about sourcing the best possible malting quality barley, wheat, rye and oats from family farms in California (and a tiny bit from Washington and Oregon). We think the floor malting process in conjunction with quality cereal grains makes some very tasty malt.
