Good video. Ignore the snide comments below. I heard you apologize during the video for a trivial matter. You shouldn't have to apologize for doing good for other people. Keep up the good work.
From South Africa, and just started home brewing. Thanks for an informative, detailed and down to earth approach to Weiss beer brewing. Ignore negative criticism and personal attacks, if one does not like your contribution, then they should just ignore and move on.
Finally a noob guide for all grain brewing. Years ago when I first started ag there was very little on youtube that explained ag brewing. You explained every step in detail. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic video, I'm a newbie, will be preparing my second batch next weekend, bottle my first batch yesterday, and tasted one non carbonated beer. It was interesting! I've found a very rewarding new hobby that I wish I'd learning decades ago!
exceptionally good video. many vlogers and authors out there show off and overcomplicate when talking about all grain brewing. this video perfectly shows how easily it can be achieved. thank you!
@@MaltCast Thanks for sharing and putting in the effort to help others. Please don't be discouraged by any criticism or negative comments. I think you did a great job. I was a bit worried about a boil over a couple of times but you had it under control. Cheers.
been brewing for a few years now but have stuck with extract, now I am moving on up to all grain and I have been watching a ton of videos and reading up. I just want to let you know this is by far one of the best videos I have seen so far, definitely on par with John Palmers video with Northern Brewer but I would say yours is more Beginner friendly. Thank you for all your help.
Liked your video very much-Thanks! I have done some extract brewing 25 years ago, but wanted to get back into it now that all grain brewing ingredients are so readily available. Bought a book, but much of it made no sense until I watched this video. Now I might have to read the book again since I understand much of what i didn't before. Thanks again!
Excellent video! I am on my 7th batch of home brew, 5th batch all grain but it's been over two years since my last batch and the refresher was great and this would also be an excellent video for someone who wants to get into all grain brewing and wants to see what it's all about.
Halfway though the video I was going to mention that you need to discuss sanitation because I've heard of someone ruining a $100 batch of mead by not sanitizing a spoon they used to taste test it. You did a good job of explaining it and showing us the products you used. Subscription well deserved.
Could you post a video about your Theory on creating your own recipes, how to know what grains, hops, type of yeast, etc, to put together the recipe. How do you know what goes good together, etc.
I brewed for years, gave it up when I ran out of room and time after a move. Pulled up something to listen/watch while cleaning as a time killer. Wanted to compliment your narrative skills and the overall video. This should be a solid primer for most new AG brewers.
Thanks, I've been brewing for some time and the hot break has caused me considerable grief, not just the mess the unknown loss of hop material. I can't wait to try your technique, thanks in advance
I have to say, this was one of the best, most informative videos on brewing basics that I've watched. I am new to the concept of home brewing and look forward to starting my first batch soon. You covered things that should be mentioned in brewing videos that others haven't. Like the water to grain ratio. Very important, but no one else has mentioned it. Excellent video, Sir. You've earned yourself a subscriber!
Excellent video. Just what I was looking for as I am ready to start all-grain brewing. Good job keeping it simple and explaining everything well. Thank you!
I've only been all-grain home brewing for around 3 years, and what I've learned so far is covered in this video - a very good example. I would say there's a few points of worth suggesting (some may have been mentioned?) - Try smaller batches first off (half or quarter ingredients/volumes) - Brew in a bag (BIAB) method uses a thin 'mash bag' to contain the mash/grain allowing for one mash tun/boil pot in one, but beware, even though this allows less equipment, sparge/brew efficiency suffers.
Really interesting and useful video, thanks for sharing. I am an extract brewer currently but this makes me more confident about going all grain some time in the near future.
You did a very nice job on this video, I'm a brewer and learned some things from you great explanation of the little sciences of process. I'll be watching much more of your videos.... thanks again
Great video. Thanks for keeping it simple. Contemplating moving from extract brewing to BIAB, but this video is good for when I go all grain. Thanks again.
- as stated in the video, the smell of the grain mash, effort, method and fresh beautiful grain and hops ingredients make it so rewarding of process to learn, do and perfect. And it's beer chemistry! with ale as the outcome!
I been watching many videos of home brewing, and I belive yours is the best one, best explained and you make it look easy. Thanks, you win a subscriber. Cheers!
Hi MaltCast!! Thanks for doing these fundamental brewing videos! As a soon to be new brewer trying to learn all he can as quickly as possible its great to be able to watch your videos :) Please keep doing these fundamental videos!
It maybe 46 minutes long, but I did not get bored at all. You are a great presenter (calm, informative, friendly) and I really enjoyed the vid. I have just started brewing again (extract), and did feel pretty overwhelmed reading about this method, but really looking forward to getting myself to a place to do it. Love from over in Australia :) I also wish i could be trying that beer you have at the end there ;) Cheers!
Thanks! Perfect amount of detail for me. Some was review as you mentioned, but, it's also good to see how everything fits together. You get the complete story start to finish.
Great Job thank you for sharing the process. I am currently learning all I can about brewing beer and your tutorial was great. I hope to own a brew company.
Great video, it's refreshing to hear (and see) all the details and their explanations given at each stage of the process. Its extremely helpful for aspiring home brewers (myself included) looking at all-grain and/or malt extract brewing for the first time. I'd love to see the follow up video, has that been put up? Also, and i'm sure it's echoing other comments, how do you come up with your recipes? Do you have any advise on that, I'm sure trail & error plays a big part but are there recommended ways to evaluate recipe options (ingredients, proportions, timings etc) before putting them to test (which can take quite sometime to produce results)?
I find any and all food science (or really, science based activities of any creative sort - working on soapmaking right now 😊) super intriguing, so this was a very interesting video. I've just recently started getting more interested in beer so learning how it's homebrewed is super cool. You've made this look a lot easier than I thought it was from my small amount of reading. Seems to me all-grain is to extract as cold or hot process is to melt & pour. There's just a bit more control over the ingredients with all grain & CP / HP.
- remember to take original gravity reading OG before pitching yeast - trial run! the first 4-5 all-grains are supposed to be an adventure - my first was for xmas, and although the body was thin ish the freshness, hops and alcohol were spot on! so rewarding!
One of the best jobs explaining something (and reasonably complicated) on the internet! Thanks! Do you have a written receipe to accompany the video (e.g. with quantities, volumes, etc)
Pretty good, never saw that cooling method pipe inside hose, great idea will try as batches size up. Recommend sizing up yeast in separate cups to get even amounts in each pitch. Pot about 2 inches short for that batch size, but you managed it well... Thx.
this video is awesome! for someone who's thinking of getting into beer brewing, you sir have convinced me to take the next step!! and for that I thank you! keep up the good work!!! ;)
Thank you; great video. Can't wait for part 2! Very helpful, though all the equipment is daunting. Oh -- question: maybe you can discuss this in part 2 -- temperature for fermenting. I live in a cold climate and even my kitchen usually doesn't make it into the 60s in the winter. Is there an optimum temperature, and what happens if you don't meet it?
Great complete how-to video. a bit long, but it is great to see other brewer's methods. I have a pretty long how-to video on my channel, using the brew-in-a-bag method. My video started at over an hour, I was able to cut it down to about a half hour though. Liked and Subscribed! Hope to see more of your videos in the future!
The one thing that I didn't see was oxygenation of the wart for fermentation. The only part I think I skipped over was about sanitization. Aside from that it was fun to watch. Thanks for a very complete video.
Don't do it! You'll be hammered after the first 5 minutes. Impossible to see the whole video if playing the game. But maybe better than some folks stuck on saying 'um' or 'you know' every third word. Very nice video. If this is aimed at the complete noob it would be better to refer to the grain as malt or malted grain. Going to the feed store and buying a sack of barley won't make beer without a ton of extra work. Thanks for sharing your brewing experience, MaltCast.
I really enjoyed your video and thank you for taking the time putting it together. Brew day can be a little hectic due to multitasking, you seemed very poised and confident running the camera while sanitizing, watching your wort, cooling, and hydrating your yeast. There was only one thing I noticed you didn't mention but probably did in between scenes. What about oxidizing the wort before pitching the yeast?
Great question. You are right that I did forget to talk about aerating the wort prior to pitching. I figured that was a more advanced topic that might be a bit too much for a basic brewing type video. Thanks for mentioning it and I will try to cover this in a future video.
Well presented and explained. I've yet to do any brewing, but I am gleaming a wealth of information. It's nice to see many that brew and discern what is valuable and what is frass.. (Gardeners KNOW what frass is) ;) thanks heaps! good job!
This is the best all grain video I've watched so many thanks for producing it. I'm totally new to AG and tempted to give it a go but it's a big step up from beer kits both in expense in setting up and time needed. What is the point of the metal copper tube with slits in the mashtun? Why don't we add sugar to the wort (I can guess the answer but wondering why I have to add it to a kit)
I have been contemplating brewing my own beer for some time. I'm also an avid gardener. So one of these days I was thinking of growing my own grain and hops, and possibly yeast, and making my own beer. One thing that really gets to me is the elaborate beer recipes. I understand the base and specialty grains but why would you want to make a beer that uses 10-12 different grains? I always thought one of the great qualities of a beer was it's repeatability. It seems like it would be extremely difficult to repeat a beer with so many different grain ingredients. I tend to think of it as a chef would food. The fewer ingredients the better. A chef wouldn't add an ingredient unless it was absolutely necessary for the dish. It seems like in the brew world, grains are added willy nilly. What is the advantage of adding so many grains? With so many different grains, how do you know which grains impart which taste? If someone gave you one of these beers and you didn't know what grains were used, could you taste it and know?
Connor Lasch Thank you for that response. No, I don't have a dog. I'm not sure what it has to do with my question. I was asking about the different ingredients used in beer.
Well you said you wanted to grow hops so I just wanted to make sure. You can taste the difference between most grains. Well, put it this way: if I gave you a sample of beers and told you which has which grain and how the grain was toasted, you would down the road be able to tell the difference. Notice how dark beers have a burnt toast thing going on. Notice in lots of summer ales you can taste wheat notes. Notice in lagers you get corn notes from things like the BMCs and you get light barley notes from non BMC lagers. Course, lots of flavor relies on hops. You probably won't know the difference in the kind of grains on your own. But, pick up a beer, try it, do research, pick up a handful of similar styles from different breweries and you will have knowledge. Then again, I'm not an expert. This is from my experience with my brews
ElGatoLoco698 Once you grow your grains you will have to malt them before you can use them to brew your beer. See this video: th-cam.com/video/dmv_MlcvHDU/w-d-xo.html
For those that don't have a hop filter, I have a few options. The strainer which he used, second is a hop bag (tied with a slip knot for use through the whole boil), 3rd before you drain into your chiller if you vigorously stir the un-ferminted beer till a vortex is created then allow to stand till the vortex dies off the majority of the hop material left will settle to the middle of the pot
nice video. one thing: you say not to add hops before dealing with the hot break. I first wert a lot which is adding hops in the kettle when you first start sparging. it tastes great. just make sure the kettle is not so full and have a cold spay bottle and lower the heat till the hot break ends. good stuff though man!
Glad you found the information useful! If there's anything specific you'd like us to discuss, let us know and maybe we can accommodate. Good luck with your brewing!
Maybe something like a 1.040 blonde ale would have been a better choice for a basics video, but then again, you can always get a new spoon. What was the OG on this beer? I seem to have spaced-out a bit and missed it. Good video. Cheers!
i live beside a mill, its $12.50 for 55lb of barley at mills in ontario, its $68 for 55lb at the local brew shops.most grains at mills are $10-15 for 55lb sack,its defiantly worth buying in bulk
It's a great video! Really informative for a brewer to be like me. Just one question, the fermenting process generates heat and I've seen some people leave the fermenter inside a fridge. Is that necessary? Thank you and congratulations again!
Great video man. Thorough and very concise. I have a noobish question though, are the grains malted or not? Isn't malting the only way to get sugars out of starches? Or your way of steeping them in warm water works as well?
kotsdriv All brewing grains are pre-malted. There is still starch in the grain, but the enzymes break it down in to sugars when you mash. From wikipedia "Malting grains develops the enzymes required to modify the grain's starches into sugars".
Awesome video! Thank you for basically simplifying the process. I have been doing extract but dont feel like a real brewer yet. This video makes me want to start buying equipment for all grain. Im thinking about getting a counter flow chiller......did you use some kind of pump for transferring? How cold does the wort usually come out? Thanks again.
Fab walkthrough. About to attempt my first batch. Just one question. Im in the UK and its almost winter - so - after pitching yeast at about 70f (how) do I maintain this temp through the ferment? Cheers
Good video. Ignore the snide comments below. I heard you apologize during the video for a trivial matter. You shouldn't have to apologize for doing good for other people. Keep up the good work.
This Is the most comprehensive guide for first time brewers that I've watched so far, thank you sooo much.
Thanks for the great video. You can read all the instructions you want but sometimes it is nice to just watch someone put it all into practice.

Actually, you're basically very welcome :)
@@MaltCast Thanks for sharing and putting in the effort to help others. Please don't be discouraged by any criticism or negative comments. I think you did a great job. I was a bit worried about a boil over a couple of times but you had it under control. Cheers.
Very very helpful. Most videos on homebrewing were very fast and they never went into the detail needed to really do this on your own.
Nice to see a fellow Canadian engineer around, especially one who enjoy making beer. Cheers.
As an experienced brewer and knowing everything you talked about, I still found this really enjoyable to watch :D

Great video! I've made a few extract brews and this video really gave myself a great understanding on all grain brewing, thank you very much.
Thanks great information! Its amazing when people don't ASSUME and solid concrete information is given.

great video,Ive extract brewed but this all grain was a mystery to me. Excellent job. Wort chiller looks awesome,going to check it out . Cheers
This was great! I especially liked the first 1/2, as it was a good explanation of sparging. I think I'll stick to extract brewing! 😊
The one thing that I didn't see was oxygenation of the wart for fermentation. The only part I think I skipped over was about sanitization. Aside from that it was fun to watch. Thanks for a very complete video.

Once you grow your grains you will have to malt them before you can use them to brew your beer. See this video: th-cam.com/video/dmv_MlcvHDU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the follow up videos.
Nice work mate, looking forward to watching the subsequent uploads.
This was a great intro to all grain brewing. thanks

Really nice video, thanks a lot! Is there a second part? Its not shown after the video ends..
Gread vid, clearly communicated. What is the capacity of the brew kettle you used, thanks
Those are my favorite glasses. Love the goblet.
I was about to subscribe to this channel, but then I noticed there was no part two to this video so I changed my mind
i had plenty time to watch brew videos verdicts out science is so special and wonderful, thanks bro learn new shit every day
Great video, you explain everything clearly. I subscribed. What have you brewed lately that turned out well?
nice video. one thing: you say not to add hops before dealing with the hot break. I first wert a lot which is adding hops in the kettle when you first start sparging. it tastes great. just make sure the kettle is not so full and have a cold spay bottle and lower the heat till the hot break ends. good stuff though man!
True. If you are doing FWH, you don't have much choice.
This was awesome - thank you. “... the organism that brings us the nectar we love ...” 😂😂
Great video! Nice flow. Any idea when PT.2 will be up?
cleared up some questions i had about sparging... thanks
great video, good tips for first time all grain brewing. thanks
Glad you found the information useful! If there's anything specific you'd like us to discuss, let us know and maybe we can accommodate. Good luck with your brewing!
How about secondary and kegging... so part 2..?
I’m learning, so keep up them videos for me learning👍
Maybe something like a 1.040 blonde ale would have been a better choice for a basics video, but then again, you can always get a new spoon. What was the OG on this beer? I seem to have spaced-out a bit and missed it. Good video. Cheers!
Your recipe sounds like Denny Conn's Vanilla Bourbon Imperial Porter, which is delicious! Cheers!
first of all, great video on the basics of brewing. but you mentioned a part 2 where you keg it.. is there any footage of that on here?
Basically a great video
great video ! thanks for explaining, did you upload the second part of this ?
thanks that was a great video....do you use hop bags now at all ?
scott garvey No, but my kettle has a hop screen to filter them out when I drain.
i live beside a mill, its $12.50 for 55lb of barley at mills in ontario, its $68 for 55lb at the local brew shops.most grains at mills are $10-15 for 55lb sack,its defiantly worth buying in bulk
you should do a follow up tasting of this beer, I think it would be nice to see how it turned out.
Basically an excellent video. Thank you very much, I'll be following your channel.
looking to get into whole grain brewing thanks for the insight
It's a great video! Really informative for a brewer to be like me. Just one question, the fermenting process generates heat and I've seen some people leave the fermenter inside a fridge. Is that necessary? Thank you and congratulations again!
Great video man. Thorough and very concise. I have a noobish question though, are the grains malted or not? Isn't malting the only way to get sugars out of starches? Or your way of steeping them in warm water works as well?
kotsdriv All brewing grains are pre-malted. There is still starch in the grain, but the enzymes break it down in to sugars when you mash. From wikipedia "Malting grains develops the enzymes required to modify the grain's starches into sugars".
Very clear and informative! Thanks!
Really helpful video, especially since Seth Rogen was teaching me how to All Grain Brew! Haha thanks!
I was really hoping somebody else besides me noticed that lol
Awesome video! Thank you for basically simplifying the process. I have been doing extract but dont feel like a real brewer yet. This video makes me want to start buying equipment for all grain. Im thinking about getting a counter flow chiller......did you use some kind of pump for transferring? How cold does the wort usually come out? Thanks again.
Currently everything is gravity fed. However, I recently picked up a pump that I will be adding to my setup.
You can make your sparge easier by just pouring the sparge water onto e.g. a coffee tub lid, which just floats on top and protects the grain bed
Hi MaltCast! can you make a video of how to bottle the beer please!
Fab walkthrough. About to attempt my first batch. Just one question. Im in the UK and its almost winter - so - after pitching yeast at about 70f (how) do I maintain this temp through the ferment? Cheers
