Im just getting into brewing/kegging and this vid was exactly what I was after. Still just as relevant 13yrs after it was made!!

Ocean of info out there. This is excellent…clear and concise

Is there a video with instructions on using the temp control lid?

Do you need to stabilise the cider before the backsweetening?

Thank you

I loved a bond me some beer. Whatever are you saying? Lovabond

How much sparge water should you use?

Couldnt your just dump some out of the apple juice bottle and add a very small amount of yeast?

Great presentation. I know I am "putting the cart before the horse" but I have been adding 2ml of 70% phosphoric acid per 60l of water which is bringing my water pH down to 7 (very hard water here) , but it means my mash comes out about 5.6pH.

Can it grind all grains?

Hello guys! Thank you for the great explanations. You did it, I'll get the fermeter with the cooler. One more question please. Which pump did you use to transfer the wort? With a separate one or the one from the G40? Thank you very much and best regards from Germany. Manuel

Hey there! I’ve been using the glycol chiller for two batches as of now, but somehow the temperature won’t get down to 39F… it’s stuck between 43-45F while trying to cold crash. Do you know why this might be happening and how I can surpass this problem?

Is there is downside to pitching it into a 5-gallon carboy of an Orval clone? They pitch a second strain of yeast and brett after 5 days, then wait 3 weeks before bottling

Very helpful! I think my first all grain will be a Pilsner. 30 years ago I made an all liquid malt extract Pilsner that was amazing. I will try a similar brew doing all grain.

Man, you look like a homeless bum. You mention cleanness is very important (4:22), so when are you going to get yourself clean ? You look like you have a hangover

Squeeze the bag if you want. It's personal preference and won't hurt the beer.

Well done ! thanks

No details on yeast or sugar ratio, basically pointless.

I guess the partnership with Northern Brewer fell apart? I do not see any reference to BB on their website.

If you’re making hooch at home, you just have to shake it up and keep the lid off for a second. Then squeeze some of the air out and put the lid back on.

Independant of accuracy on FG reading, you can use it as indication of change to see that the fermentation is no longer changing the gravity and it finished. Or stuck, in which case you should be able to see significant difference from expected FG.

don't you lose some of your carbonation though? no one likes a flat beer

VERY GOOD Content - just amazing - Thankyou ... I may be a IT Consultant but your MORE than a Wine Making Consultant - BUT I WILL TRY :-)

why does it need to be stored in a quiet place? Is fermentation altered by noise?

beer is the mind chiller

Hey guys. I emailed you on 10/9 and no answer yet. My subject is: Order 5500001505237 [faulty product] Ty (Oda)

I didn't see the underside of the lid and was wondering does it have a silicon seal around the edge or similar?

Question please... If i need to place the faucet taps 2 feet away from the collar/fridge... can i just run the tubing out of the gas distributor in the collar or is it better to place the CO2 gas distributer away from the collar and next to where the faucet will be? Trying to avoid extra foam or pressure issues. Thanks

Thats not a carboy, its a big demi john !

How long should be fermenting

What does minutes mean? How many minutes? I'm interested in something like this to replace our soda stream for making carbonated water.

Kindly open a shop in india😂

Not to be a buzz kill, but i just bought one of these on Amazon, but labeled as a water distiller, and it was only $30

How much is the kit sir?

Nonsense. Just put your dried hops in an old plastic bag, like from your grain, and store them in your garage until you are ready to use them. I have used hops stored 2 years in this manner and they worked fine.

How about freeze-drying? There household models available, so more and more people have them. I have one...but I don't have a hops plant...yet.

I purchased this kit last year. I used the Red Ale kit to brew and used Nottingham Yeast. It completed fermentation in three days. I then went to bottling and it was ready to drink with carbonation complete in 5 more days. Took a total of 8 days and turned out good. I've since got a stainless steel wort chiller to cool the wort sooner (ice bucket takes too long). You guys are my go to for ingredients now and I'll likely upgrade my kettle to a Gigawort Kettle soon.

Most informative and straight to the point video i've found on this topic. Thanks you answered many questions I was unsure of.

Having to add DME because y;all did a crappy job crushing the grains and I had terrible conversion efficiency. Northern Brewer sucks in every facet of their operation.

Is so smart to destill at 60%? Seems dangerous.. I would delute it to 40 with destilled water, then do 2nd run.. Much safer, same result

Stainless Steel wort chillers are the best. They are tougher than copper and are easy to sanitize and clean.

Nice review! Any chance of getting that Cabernet cider recipe? Sure would appreciated it!

Thanks for this gents. We just got the G30 from ya and can not wait to start brewing. Slainte!!!

Explaining in detail the confusion, pale ale malt and pale malt 👍

I'm making sugar wine(kilju) with dry active yeast. ???
