- Continuing my quest of my brewing side series, I'm taking the bothersome garden weeds of crabgrass and dandelion and attempting to turn them into beer and wine.
Check out the MakeSomething Channel where David builds a wine rack for the bottle of dandelion wine I sent him.

Resist the urge to use clear bottles for beer. Sunlight will "skunk" the beer and may have been part of the problem.
Love these brewing videos. You should do one on how to catch wild yeast for brewing.
It needs to be beer in order to skunk! No hops means this isn't even technically a beer!
Great idea! Originally our yeasts were found in the headwaters of the Mississippi... we are holding off on food and beverages for a while, but we are interested in making things like biofuels! Do you know of other practical purposes for yeast besides for skin care and Hair treatments? Thank goodness for your comment!
How To Make Everything well, ethanol IS flammable. It's your conventional alcohol making process, except that you are allowed to have additives that aren't safe for human consumption, you skip steps that add taste, and you add an extra distillation step to get high purity.
maybe use it to make kombucha and use the scobi on top to make fake leather
i've used leftover Ale yeast as a catalyst for a sourdough starter, and had really good results. Also would like to see some hydrometer testing in the next one, wild yeast cultivating would be really cool though. Either way keep it up!
That was my first time trying dandelion wine! It was great! Thanks guys!
Make Something lmao
I think you might need to freeze the crabgrass seeds before you soak them in order to get them to germinate.
you should of added hops to your beer... technically you didn't even make beer because you didn't add hops, beer is defined as a drink made from water, malt, yeast and HOPS.
Make Something I
Adrian Bukovec loool your so beyond wrong, hopps werent inturduced for a very long time in history, its been water, grain, and SPICES( Like hopps, but usually very unique blends of herbs and spice like craft beer.)
Making alcohol out of weed. This is the content I come here for.
I wonder how that would turn out........
That sounds like an interesting idea.
I want to see it done.
The problem with Weed is that it's fat soluble. Meaning that it won't form a solution with the water it is boiled in. You need an oil/fat base to extract the flavour and THC from the weed.
In India, that's done by mixing milk or buttermilk into the weed while grinding it. It's called Bhaang. You might want to give that a try, although Bhaang is generally made from the flower and not the leaves.
@@SomnathRoyGrimfangsI made that before and i didn't even know that recipe it was just something i thought might work cool who knew Indians knew a great way to get faded oh and i get why its called BHAANG xD
I remember helping collect dandelions for my grandma to make wine when I was 4 or 5... worked all damn summer & then they wouldn't even let me taste it! =(
probably cuz it was somewhat alcoholic and they didn't want you to have alcohol at such a young age
Trynant - Yeah, I get it. Don't think a sip would've hurt though.
Ya I know
My mom makes delicious dandelion syrup, she is in the field all day collecting bowls and bowls of them.
RealRuler2112 Yeah but you have the thing of getting used to alcohol at a young age. At a restaurant they were really hesistant to give my brother one pasta. Because they burn the cheese with alcohol and it is a show. But they use bacardi, so it tastes like Bacardi. But my parents really had to assure them that it was OK. Kids dont like the taste of alcohol and many parents dont want their kids to get used to the taste young.
The dish didn't contain any alcohol of course. It was burnt of.
And even possibly getting an alcoholic later if you are depressed because the taste of alcohol reminds you of your childhood summers dandelion picking with grandma.
And like. It isn't OK for a kid to drink ANY alcohol at that age.

How To Make Everything boi
Mostly bots and clickfarms.
People that know how to make beer and cringe at his joke of a brewing process. I can make beer out of literally grass. Its all in the malting, flavour extraction and hops. Where did he put the hops in? TRY AGAIN!
We didn’t put hops in because we were hoping to just taste the crabgrass on its own. We asked the experts at MidWest supply and Northern Brewer. We wanted to taste the grain not the hops. Please do make a crabgrass beer and show us how you would make it!
Dandelion are so versatile. You can make wine from them, use the leaves in a salad, roast the roots and use it instead of coffee...
Donno who you are, but thank you for this info! Never knew you could do this before
It was also used in WW2 as a source of synthetic rubber
Dandelion root tea also has many health benefits
@@EndChineseGenocide yep cuz literally every yard in America could grow the stuff without even trying. Doesn't take much to convince kids to pick dandelions and take them to school to be made into rubber to help save their daddy's from the war.
I hope this channel lasts long enough for you to revisit these less-than-successful projects once you've honed your skills a little bit more and you've started running out of other ideas. I know that might take forever... I hope this channel lasts forever.
How to make net neutrality
pls no, I hate it when the government have power over my internet... the last time I had that, I was in Indonesia... can't even open reddit cause it's blocked by the government there for some kind of bizarre reason. Who knows when Trump will decide to censor stuffs out... better don't give em any power over the internet at all.
I can change my ISP, I can't change my country that easily...
you do know what net neutrality is right? Because of US laws the government cant block websites or anything like that but since most things are privately owned in the US the owners have the right to block whatever they want net neutrality is just saying that they have to play by the same rules as the government
アップルパイ In most of the US, you CANT change your ISP.
Net neutrality should be called 'status quo', if you had no issues with the internet 5 years ago you should be fine with net neutrality. I think you might be getting terms mixed up, it entails no govt control just that ISPs cant show favoratism to sites or throttle others.
mir solis ugh NET NEUTRALITY= GOOD NO NET NEUTRALITY=BAD you should have said if you could live without NET NEUTRALITY 5 years ago then you can live WITHOUT it now.
releases video on plants in the dead of winter
It's to help get people out of the depressive funk. To remind people that winter won't last forever, spring WILL come!!
Well at least you could get prepped for spring
That wine looks good, but I'm gonna hazard a guess that your beer is contaminated...
I'm assuming that happened when the yeast packet fell into the jug.
Yes me thinks he made himself a sour beer
Michael Teslia I’ve brewed beer that turned sour just because of the pvc piping having something in it. StarSan and hot water didn’t kill it. Could be the equipment, as I didn’t see anything dropped into the wort prior to fermentation. Otherwise maybe just the fact that it’s crabgrass which would seem bitter, nasty for beermaking.

Does anyone have the recipe for the dandelion wine? I am very curious now lol
Payton Tomm the early sugar content determines the alcohol content, cutting the sugar also increases the chance someone new will end up with vinegar as the yeast will feed on the alcohol.
Baker's yeast has a low alcohol tolerance so it dies off very quickly, if I recall correctly it is only survives to around 5%. Where as champagne yeast can survive to 17%, which is why I use it exclusively. I attempt to maximize the alcohol and flavor to make the most of my effort and storage space. Most people drink it over ice or even cut it with water, so it makes a bottle last just a little longer :)
Do y'all just make alcohol in your free time?
ass hole It takes me 15 minutes to make 5 liters of wine/cider/sugar wash (add to mixers like cool aid) for 10, 20 and 3 dollars respectively.

Great now people are growing weeds for beer
Wolfy the Swine Wrong kind of weeds you're thinking about
You can actually also collect the dandelion roots to make beer, wine or coffee. I actually have 2 bottles of dandelion flower wine I made in 2006 down in the cellar. I opened a bottle a few weeks ago and it is amazing.
You probably used English ale yeast because Dandelion is used historically in a light mead here in the UK, along with burdock roots to create Dandelion and burdock, it's more a soft drink now
Harry Forsyth He used the english ale for the crabgrass
Gianna Reeve oh. Still should have maybe tried to make Dandelion and burdock
Burdock would be interesting
Yes, very true. Fentiman's dandelion burdock soda is also sold here in the US. It's just very uncommon.

Just found your channel and this is a great vid!! I make my own beer at home and would agree with the others that your crabgrass beer was likely contaminated with 'wild' yeast if it smells musty and tastes sour. The ugly cousin of a lambic! As an aside, I think it would have been good to throw in a simple warning about herbicides when making a video about foraging for weeds.
I am tempted to make some dandelion wine
So did you make any? Report back dude
It's been 3 years if you still have a bottle it might be a good vintage by now ;)
Can you do a video on how to make fireworks because its around new years, I know the process takes a while and it won't be finished on new years but it would still be cool
Boom!
Your beer tastes bad because your grass had little to no flavour and if it did, it was not amplified by your techniques , but also your yeast is for ale. Ale is a very weak beer which was drunk by poor people in the middle ages, it tastes awful (what you described) and was only drunk because the water had cholera in it. This ale should not be confused with Pale Ale, which is what beer can be called by modern fancy brewers if their product is light in colour.

Wow. Wrong on all counts. Impressive.

I can't really tell if you're serious or trolling because you left no examples of how they were wrong for me to examine. Just saying people are wrong is not helpful.

How drunk is he

What you got with your 'weed beer' is a taste of how beer tasted in the ironage and back. Because they didn't have hops (many places anyway), they used a spectrum of other taste and preservative plants such as nettleseeds, porse, goutweed, rowan and others. These help sour the beer to preserve it and add flavour. The modern beers are almost always made with cereals and hops, ergo this is the taste you know as beer. I imagine the one you made tastes similar to the iron age beers we have made based on archaeological finds from Germany and Denmark, very sour but with a somewhat sweet aftertaste.
Back in the days, beer wasn't sweet, and was weak (1-2%), and was mostly a way to get clean water.
but do you smonke the wead
Yeas, i du smonke the wead

I really love this channel as I love to make my own stuff as well even going as far as making sulfuric acid with two soda cans, a glass jar, an aquarium bubblier, some hydrogen peroxide and sulfur. While I did source most of these items from the store. If I really had to I could most likely make it from scratch.
i do a old recipe dandelion wine its awesome ill give the recipe here. only pick the dandelion heads when its very sunny outside otherwise it can be bitter. Culp the the dandelion head between your middle finger and ring finger and pull up and the head will pop right up. if you get a stem or 2 it wont hurt but you want only the dandelion heads you dont need to pick the yellow parts off with this recipe. you can use the whole heads. pick a whole gallon of dandelion and rinse them off in a strainer and start boiling a pot water 1 gallon. when it gets to a rolling boil put the dandelion heads in and let boil for 20 minutes. then strain the dandelions off dont smash the dandelions when straining to much. the water will be green and smell like spinach. put it in a fridge to cool for 20 minutes. the temp should now be about right to pitch your yeast add in 5 pounds of sugar (corn sugar if you dont want that cidery taste from the cain) cut in 4's 2 lemons and 2 oranges, squeeze the juices out into the fermenter and drop the whole fruit in then pitch your yeast. stir all content well and cover stirring once a day. on the 3rd day or 4th fermentation should be done. then the recipe said to bottle the wine (make sure fermentation is done first, if you need to use a hydrometer make sure its sterilized and put the wine back in. your only making a gallon and and its high alcohol content will most likely keep it from getting infected.) let wine age for 6 months (i drank all mine except one bottle right away its very delicious.) then strain the rest into another clean bottle straining with cheese cloth or whatever you like. in 6 months the wine is thicker and much better and strong and sweet and DELICIOUS. ENJOY!
I saw this and i was like "woah weed booze, i can get drunk and high at the same time?" I was slightly disappointed
You could, I don't know how many starches are in weed though,
The *45* dislikes are the ghosts of the dandelions and crabgrass
Summer it's still 45
you could try and grind up or just crack the grains before extracting starch and adding amylase at that stage, then you should extract and convert more of the starches.
Early squad!!! Also it's awesome how much work you put in these videos.
My grandfather used to make Dandelion wine all the time! Brought me back.
You have to let the crabgrass grains sit and dry for at least 6 weeks to overcome seed dormancy so they will germinate.
that dandelion gathering! so beautiful! even if the wine had failed i would be happy because of the video
Dandelion wine looks like it's the most fun to make. :3

Corn was made to stop hunger in black africa country and u make beer, how dare u, dont care really
6:00 cue 80s sitcom intro
You can make "honey" from dandelions, so maybe thats why the wine was a bit like honey in taste
If you dont add hops,you wont get beer flavour
Why not try brewing grape beer I don’t think anyone done it before
as a brewer, I wanna be sad about the crabgrass thing, but really there were just so many mistakes made in the "malting," extraction, creation, and packaging... that I'd say try it again, with some help.
There's a good video of a guy using home grown wheat to make a beer at Northern Brewer. You should watch that again. 😉
how does he do it??? and how does he not have a million subs yet like wake up youtube
You can make coffee out of dandelion roots
Let’s take a moment to acknowledge how huge this guy’s garden is. Looks like SO much effort to maintain
I used to love this channel, I was in the discord & everything. Now that I'm looking back, does anyone know if Andy is ESL, where he is from, or what his parents' first languages were?
Did you put hops or anything in it to flavour it? If no, no wonder it didn't taste good
I like your fermentation jar... my dad used to use the ones like at 01:52... but that one with a big wide lid looks loads easier to clean and get at the insides (for whatever reason).
Quote of the decade: "I haven't tried piss, but it might be better".
Did you check the proofs? What was the alcohol content of the wine, Im curious?
1.) no clear bottles.
2.) measure the specific gravity of the beer before and after fermentation to know the sugar content, and then add a weight percentage of sugar to the whole batch, your measurements of sugar for second ferment were pretty inaccurate (I did it that way when I was new to it)
How to make a video game? Would be a different kind of episode but I’m sure it would turn out fine.
Probably should have crushed or ground the crabgrass. Larger grains are cracked before brewing. If these were intact, the hulls prevented most of the extraction.

With a little tweak here and there that Crab Grass can give you some spirit molecules.
Crab grass - will it ferment? Yes..... Does it taste good? Perhaps, with more adjuncts and spices. Dandelion-If you don't love it, you should!!
No hops for bittering your beer. Because of that you will just taste the single malt. You mad a SMASH beer only no SH (single malt, single hops). I am surprised the brewing supply store didn't have more info on what you were doing.
In case you don't know, amylase is a catalyst made by the glands in your mouth to help in the conversion of starch into sugar. You already know this but I'm unaware of you know that this means that amylase works best at around 37.5 degrees Celsius. I know it's hard to get that temperature but I guess it'll help for future projects involving the substance :)
sounds like hogwartz drinks
I'm sure the crabgrass would not make a good beer, but the flavors you are describing are from infection (especially the medicinal/burnt rubber smells). The yeast could have been stressed too if you did not have good temp control. You may have had an issue with sanitation somewhere along the way. Also, dextrose (corn sugar) works far better for bottle conditioning. It nearly completely ferments and does not leave an aftertaste.
The dandelion wine sounds delicious from how you guys described it since I love sweet things, but I hope they didn’t have any pesticides on them. I could be worrying for nothing and just misinformed, but it’s just something I remember reading a while back that public area dandelions might not be safe. Would hate for you guys to get sick.
You probably should've crushed the grains, you most likely didn't have good starch extraction with whole grains and only 30 minutes.
Based on the smell/taste, you probably had some contamination too.
Hello, pls can you make bow and arrow ?
You can actually make a kind of honey substitute from dandelions.
It's technically a kind if dandelion syrup but I guess it tastes like honey.
I haven't made it myself yet, but I've seen many people do it.
That would be a funny episode, 'how to make honey yourself'?
I have a challenge for you.
Make some sort of electronic device from scratch.
It doesn’t have to be something impressive, just something that works.
If you choose to accept this challenge, I wish you the best of luck. I think it would make for a great video.
I have a dandelion wine recipe from my German immigrant great-great-grandmother's bakery/account/recipe book. there is another alcoholic concoction called 'megan's medicine' so now I'm starting to get curious
"it smells worse than it tastes, but it also doesn't taste good"
it would almost be the line of the night, except it was followed immediately with "I haven't tried piss, but it might be better" ... i was incapacitated for a solid 3 minutes
thank you Andy, thank you
How to make dandelion wine, buy six pack of bud light, go to farmers market, trade it to an Amish/Hutterite for dandelion wine in a back alley. Enjoy one of the worst hangovers in your life.
I re watched this, and the wine probably tasted like honey slightly because of the nectar in the flour and bees turn nectar into honey.
maybe you should do how to make an nixie tube
huh?
Should've used some of that ground ivy from the crabgrass patch and extra dandelion. to make a gruit for the beer. Might've helped with the weird taste. Generally, a bittering agent is mandatory for any beer
I have a shit ton of Rhubarb and even more choke cherries. Any suggestions on how to turn this into a good Choke Cherry Rhubarb wine? Turns out that there's tons of Rhubarb in my neighborhood in Robbinsdale so I figured I ought to put it to use. I just don't really know where to start.
You didn't put any hops during the boil.
Andy has yet to source hops, when he made wheat beer, he made it with 100% wheat
I don't even plan on making this stuff. I ate some shrooms and I'm just enjoying the trip. It brought me here. I'm okay with that. The fluidity and natural vibe I got from this video was great.
Not bad for clearly being new to the art of brewing.
Leave the lid off when you are boiling. Also, no hops or other substance to counter residual sweetness? Interested in how they come out. Stopped mid video to comment. Cheers
If I am not mistaken, you may have pitched the beer incorrectly. Those look like yeast smack packs, that didn't get smacked. Meaning the yeast is still encased at the bottom of your fermenter. So the beer merely spoiled. ps. you still need to use some hops.
May be the grass grains were not mature enough to germinate.
Might I suggest you explore the world of crossbreeding plants. It can be quite enjoyable see the outcomes with some of my favorite plants to crossbreed being peppers.
it would probably be suggestable to roast the "grain" first that may improve the flavor also if you tried malting all of the "grain" and it didnt work it is possible that it might have turned bad, but i dont know the exact method you used so i couldn't judge it to suggest other methods for people who are wanting to try it themselves
I might have to try properly making crabgrass beer now... where I properly malt them. I have to find out if that can work regularly now
Protip: take the whole dandelion plant, everything is edible except the stem. Eat the leaves as a salad, use the flowers for wine, and roast/grind the root for coffee.
Dandelions in spanish are "Diente de Leon" (Leon's tooth) which sounds very similar. Which one was first? Spanish or English?
Hey I want to make some dandelion wine for my mom since she loves wine. Any tips and advice? If your feeling crazy can you give me an in depth description of what works well.
You may want to avoid picking dandelions from maintained public lawn areas considering the high levels of pesticide, herbicide and fungicides used since its amenity used land rather than food producing, bet there are really high spray residue levels in the flowers used and as such in the wine as well
How to isolate yeast! There were not enough likes on the other comments of the same request so I liked them all and commented it too. Do it do it do it! That would be an easy vid (I imagine), and fascinating.
Also, the dandelion montage was the most soothing footage I have seen in a long time.
If your beer is "tasty" like candy then it's probably a lady's drink. I drink malt and have a respect to people who can drink ale because beer is beer drink it get drunk and drinks some more

Dandylion has enough wine yeast, don't boil it ;) add acid couse wine needs a balance of sugar and acids. I used lemon juice and it got way better if you let it age for 6months
Probably it's contaminated! You didn't added hops, and those have a lot influence on the taste, plus or helps making a beer with no contamination!
You know amylase is present in human spit? I think the Aztecs used to chew honey, spit it out, and add that to the fermentation mix to cause the break break down of the starches.
