I think Mr beer makes the best kits for beginners that’s how I got started and it took off from there, they have so many choices but a little pricey but isn’t everything nowadays, a very good video for beginners thanks.
Like # 346- Great video! About time someone made a new extract video. Always use a bottling bucket after your fermenter It cuts down on all of that trub at the bottom and add your bottling sugar. Make this easy for new people.
Great Vidya BruSho. I have seven kegs and still like what comes from the bottle more. Just a silly personal preference. The bottling wand on the bottling bucket valve served me well for years, and meant I could bottle 2 cases in 30 minutes. I rinse the bottles after the pour so they only need a good sanitizing for their next use. After a while, it becomes a natural easy process. Cheers.
Love the Packers hat! Great video. I've done about half a dozen extract brews. I'm learning the tricks with getting the LME out of the jugs without making a huge mess. ;-)
Great video! What I do with LME is pop them in a sink of hot water while steeping or heating up the water. It loosens them up and makes them easier to work with.
I guess my only suggestion is to try some wine before you try the beer then you will have a basic understanding of the fermentation process and have the necessary equipment also..also, start small (1 gallon batches) for when things go wrong your not throwing away 5 gallons of potential wine or beer..
I have been all grain brewing for years and just got an idea to go back in time and get a Coopers Irish Stout……I haven’t had one in years but am excited to get it into the fermenter . Another great video
Those stock pots are also handy for making Chili and Soups that will last weeks! I go to my Zen place when im Mowing Grilling or cooking in my stock pot! 😂
You should try some of the Fresh wort kits that some brew stores are providing. It's just pouring it into the fermenter, chuck in the yeast and do whatever dry hoppings afterwards. 10 minute brew day with no cleaning.
I was planning to use cold water from our drilled well to chill and bring the volume up to 5 gallons. Should I worry about rhe well water introducing contaminants? It's a deep well into bedrock and our water has been tested and is safe to drink
Hi.tnx for video. Very useful. I have a problem with my beer. What I have to do to have a stable foam on the top? My beer have a very good foam but fast disappear . Sorry about my English 😁
There’s a bunch of things that impact foam. Using more hops, more protein rich malts, and avoiding foam negative ingredients can help. Look up “foam positive beer ingredients”
As always, great video Trent. This is going to be a really great video I will share with others who are just starting out because its pretty straight forward and to the point. Question for you on refractometers: I've noticed the refractometer is always off compared to my hydrometer readings and so I read that refractometers are not always accurate and require some maths to become more accurate. Have you also noticed this? What do you do to calibrate the numbers of a refractometer to match that of a hydrometer? Cheers
Hey thanks! And on refractometers, they definitely have some quirks. They need to be calibrated with water first, most refractometers have a little screw on them to adjust. And then when taking readings after fermentation has started you have to use a conversion calc (alcohol throws the refraction off). Just google: refractometer calculator. Then you should get accurate readings!
Am I the only one who feels like He-Man after a successful brew?
It is quite a feeling, especially when it turns out really well! Thanks for the video!
I'll tell you in 14 days once my first all-grain kit is done carbonating :)
@@Cambpictures Heck yeah!
I can definitely say that’s how I felt when I found out this was possible I got me a mrbeer kit the other day😂
That literally cracked me up. Good start to a complex new hobby!
Man.... Where was this video when I started. Great for beginners . Trent always delivers. Thx
Just helped my buddy on his first brew day as well! Such a fun and rewarding hobby, love sharing ideas and helping out!!! Cheers Trent!!!
For sure! It definitely made me slow down and think about the basics as explaining to a newbie
Great video! Exactly what I needed. Thank you all for making!

Hey thanks! I got started on Mr Beer as well and for that they will always have a soft spot in my heart
A great getting started guide/video. Hope it gets some people interested in this fun and rewarding hobby.
Thanks! I hope so to, we can always use a few more people
Great spot to look when you get started. Good work Trent!
Cheers Steve!
These beginner videos are so good I wish I were a beginner again 🤣🤣🤣
Haha I know me too!
Very helpful tips as always!! Fun seeing you brew with a friend too! 👏
More likely the P.R. manager of the sponsor 😆

I gotta say it has been a while since I did any bottling but there was something kind of soothing to it. Might have to do it a bit more often
@@TheBruSho The fast racks make things a whole lot easier to manage as well.

Excellent tip!
Use a dry funnel to get your primer into the bottles: that way it will not clag up on the bottle top...
You do an amazing job on everything!!! Keep up the quality and you'll make it to a mil subs soon!

I really love the quality your videos well done! It's really a pleasure to watch!
Really appreciate that!
Very informative thank you
Another great video! Really love the effort in making the process universal and accessible to everyone ❤
Appreciate that!

I’ve heard of those but haven’t seen any shops selling them around me. I’ll keep my eyes out!

That sanitizer is eatable? It was sprayed on beer?
Doing my first brew now. I got very little yeast activity. Would it still be safe to bottle? Nice video by the way
Able to take gravity readings? If not give it just a few days with no airlock bubble activity to be safe
No gravity reading. I have had no airlock activity. Just found out the kit is kind of old.Thank for the help
Cool
The only place that sells kits in the whole world is in Spokane Valley, Wa. so anyone who wants kits will have to move there...
Or call Peter and have him ship it!
@@TheBruSho Shipping is hard! I'd prefer every home brewer just move close
