[@dubbelsue3584]

Thank you, craig. Because of you, I have settled into my homebrew routine. Never stop. I have been with you for 10 years. You have shown me techniques I use today.

[@rawlinsonboy]

Hey Craig, great to see another KZbin video, you helped me get into home brewing over a decade ago, never looked back since, thank you for being a total legend, hope you have a great Christmas and new year

[@hammondeggert8833]

Craig please don't talk about fluff. Sounds like you are on Saturday night Live where they aren't allowed to COMMENT on anything.😮

[@makuseitse]

Dear Craig, I want to sincerely thank you for the support and encouragement you gave me 15 years ago when you introduced me to the world of homebrewing. Your words and enthusiasm have been a constant source of inspiration, pushing me to dive into brewing and explore all the amazing experiences that come with it. Thanks to your encouragement, I’ve learned so much-not just about brewing beer, but also about patience, creativity, and hard work that are required to craft something with your own hands. This journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I’ve discovered new skills and passions that I’m truly grateful for. I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and passion with me, giving me the opportunity to walk this path. You may not have known it at the time, but your words have had a lasting impact, and now, 15 years later, I can say that every glass of homebrewed beer I’ve made carries a piece of that memory of you. Thank you so much! I will be forever grateful. Warmest regards, Marko from Estonia

[@LiamBrews]

Craig you look good & healthy. As we get older we all need to be more mindful of our alcohol consumption. But we’d all still tune in if you say there with a coffee and chatted away. Cheers man 17

[@kylehope111]

Craig, more years ago than I like to admit I started making beer under your guidance. Thank you for all the effort you've put it. You are many peoples "James Barber".....His cooking show was F'n awesome!!!

[@stuartwade7789]

Merry Christmas Craig. Love you sir. The world needs more people like you.

[@BBCLuVr69420]

Facts!

[@ausfoodgarden]

Dammit, Craig! I saw you enjoy that sip of beer and immediately had to get one for myself. It's only 10.30 am here😊 Great to get a video from you. Cheers!

[@mauricewatton9130]

Great to see you again. Wish you could do more vinyl stuff. But all the best for the future. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@robOntario]

This is My all time favourite Channel Craig! Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge in your videos all these years!! Warm wishes over the holidays!!

[@BrewabitRick]

Merry Christmas you are definitely a KZbin legend. Loving an update from you you’ve always been an inspiration for me. Cheers I appreciate you cheers 👍🍻

[@deeter900]

Craig this is such a breathe of fresh air when it comes to the world of content creators, if you ever just want to get on here and have a beer with us and chat we'll be here and we'll always come and hang out with you and have a listen.

[@AndyThom]

Merry Christmas Craig, been watching for years, Im in the UK, I would like to hear from you more often, so coming on for a little chat would be great, cheers 🍻

[@paddington3028]

Merry Christmas Craig, good to see you looking well❤

[@singingtoad]

I too miss the Urban Peasant cooking show, I also grew up watching it. I loved how he would often mention how if you didn't have a particular ingredient you could substitute it with another. 👍Anyway, I've been a fan of your channel for years and I appreciate all that you do. 🙏Take care and Cheers! Merry Christmas. 🎄

[@johnandjanetmcdermott1936]

Great to see you Craig! You showed us all that brewing beer can be a fun, relaxed hobby. Thanks for your inspiration. Please consider making videos on other things if brewing isn't much of a hobby for you anymore? No worries! Happy Holidays! I think the video quality is just fine.

[@jasonwarthman7786]

You are the one that got me started in wine making. Still go back and watch old videos. Stay well

[@XeroBudgetProduction]

Love your work Craig Heavy Metal Dan here I might tune in this weekend. I can't always tune in due to my work. Bottoms up cheers 17

[@Brown1286]

Great to see you again Craig. Don't be a stranger on the KZbin, i enjoy the simple format just as well.

[@Mobstoper]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thank you for update. Glad you are doing well

[@BBCLuVr69420]

Great hearing from you, Craig… you’re looking good! Would love to see more videos!

[@SoloAle-lp4bc]

17 Craig, cheers from Italy since 2011 🍻

[@goateemike72]

Good to see you. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

[@styverdyver]

Good to see your video come up on my feed! When I started home brewing around 07, I found your channel and enjoyed learning from you and actually won some ribbons in local competitions. Like you, I recently felt I would slow down and I don't brew anymore. I am now 69 yrs old and I discovered that I needed to slow down my intake but still enjoy a nice brew. But, as time moves on, so do we have to move on and make adjustments. When I travel, I look up the local breweries to sample their product. I am glad you are doing well and I will see you when you make your next video. Take care and I hope you have a great Holiday season and Christmas........Cheers!

[@duncanlucas6292]

Hope you have a good Xmas Craig, much love from New Zealand

[@jdbush5885]

[@akbigdaddy100]

Was so great to see you again Craig thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers

[@waynettaslobby]

Great to see you Craig, it's been a while. You need to watch 'The Backyard Chef' here in the UK. Lovely no frills cooking. Some great simple very tasty recipes, even corned beef mmmmmmmm. Merry Christmas and New year to all watching 👍

[@TheVicho25]

Merry Christmas Craig from Somerset, England... I have always enjoyed your videos, and they led me to some home brewing many years ago. Glad you're well... I always liked the walkabout videos as well. A window into a different world is always welcome. 17!

[@karlfromtas]

Hello from Tasmania AUSTRALIA

[@steeljan]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year old friend. I'm still kickin' too.

[@anfiach]

Always great to hear from you Craig.

[@OleyTube]

Merry Christmas Craig! Have enjoyed your content for many years. Have brewed beer, introduced my son to it, and we have also done your recipes. I like your music, and your overnight DJ' ng. I used to like when you grabbed a camera and went for a walk with it. Your open honest discussions, are so refreshing, approach to.politics.without being offensive to anyone. Thanks and you do what you want to do!!

[@Jeremy5speed]

My man Craig back at it! Good to see you. Merry Christmas! 17.

[@ReflectiveTones]

Happy Holidays Craig, love your content and great seeing another video. Hooking up gear takes tons of work for your but the audio and quality from your tablet looks fine and sounds good.

[@michaelaultman5190]

Great to see you. In the words of the fellow who talked about teaching someone how to fish, you taught me how to make beer and I make it about every two weeks 5 gallons at a time. And although I have tried many other ways I found using a kit is the easiest cheapest way to have a great brew. And because I am cheap that's just the way I like it.

[@65tasman]

Merry Christmas Craig and a Happy New Year, take care of yourself mate, regards 65Tasman.🍻🍺🍻

[@yannkitson116]

Merry Christmas Craig. Keep it up!

[@beerdude1176]

Good to see you on the TUBE... CHEERS 🥂

[@OlDirtyBrewer]

Craig, thanks for introducing me to homebrewing all those years back. Your videos helped start me off down this rabbit hole and it's been a great hobby. Your casual and relaxed approach to brewing made it approachable to someone like me who knew nothing. Glad you're doing well and appreciate you releasing a video. Happy Holidays!

[@samfrizzell2508]

Great to see you again. I remember well the first home brewing vids you broadcast. It got me back back into homebrewing after my student days in the 1970s. Take care fella.

[@TheNatestEver]

I lost a bunch of weight some years ago and a quote that stuck in my head during that progress was "You eat to live, You do not live to eat" Happy early Birthday Craig

Merry Christmas, Craig! It’s good to see you again. You’re looking well and happy. Thanks for jumping on your tablet and sharing a few words with us. The video quality is fine, don’t worry about making it a big production. I’m just happy to hear you’re still here. Have a great year!

Cheers Craig! I've been watching you from the very beginning of my brewing journey. I'm very grateful for everything you've done for the Brewtubing community. Great to see you again! Take care friend and happy holidays to you!

[@KeithJD]

Nice to see and hear from you Craig. Happy Christmas!

[@gregbenefield7658]

Craig, thanks for the update. BTW, when you drink beer you really make it look delicious 😅

[@oneandaquarter7203]

What a great Xmas present, Craig! I enjoyed the sit-down catch-up video. I try to drop in on Friday nights and catch a few tunes and see how my favorite youtuber is doing but I'm an early to rise early to bed type of fella, so I don't make it as often as I wish. I hope you know the magnitude of influence you have on a lot of brewers and the legacy you have built for yourself. Thank you for all the time and dedication you put into your work. That is a great looking brew, Cheers and Merry Christmas!

[@hiroshioki17]

Craig, nice to see you! Have grate holidays!! Cheers!!!

[@marvi855]

Hey,forgot about your channel. Being on KZbin all the time. You showed up in my feed. Glad you made a video. And far need as for all the fancy. No need for that,the video was great and really liked it. Have a great day!!!

[@andrewmoore150]

Merry Christmas Craig all the best for 2025.

[@stoneobsession]

Craig thank you for teaching me how to make wine the right way. Because of you many people have had an enjoyable time. Dont take so long to do more videos!

[@thedillestpickle]

You were a big part of my learning to brew beer. Way back in 2012. I started with your videos on can kits. Worked my way from there to mash tun, grain mill. Made a lot of good beer.

[@PresidentMateo]

Good to see you are well. Would love to see a video of you drinking a beer and talking about drums and how you approach it. Coordination, practice, or maybe wax on specifics like learning to groove with the Purdie shuffle or lock in Bonham triplets. I guess talk shop about drums is what I'm trying to say. Take care.

[@mitchellcox1912]

Merry Christmas Craig from Texas. Raining on Christmas eve. Drinking some ipa homebrew. Stay warm and healthy as you can. Cheers.

[@jimwind374]

Merry Christmas Craig! 🍻🍻😁

[@ariztotelez007]

Hi. Very nice to see you again. I hope you continue to make such simple videos. I have followed you for a long time and considered starting to brew my own beer, but ideas and motivation have been weak. I also considered starting my own channel. Hope to see you again soon.

[@graymalkin26]

Good to see you again old boy, enjoy the holidays and all that comes with it, namely good beer.

[@mack1541]

Hey Craig good to see you, it's been rather quiet this year from you. Wishing you all the best Christmas wishes and good health to you and yours from the UK, keep the brewing and Vinyl tips and reviews coming.

[@tdawg5253]

I've seen every video that you've published. I think... Just glad to hear from you. Definitely put out the easier videos, if that will get you motivated. From the USA

[@DUMPTHETRUCK]

Hay craig merry Christmas from the states,,,Thanks for the videos loved your brewing videos mainly breaking brewing down to the basics and trying out all the brewing short cuts I was always afraid to use and try them out. I think you disproved a lot of the brew snobs wrong with simple techniques to save money brewing,,That yeast one was great,, I’ve have my own channel but went dormant just cause I’m not going to put out a video just to make a video, I’m sure you did by just how long you’ve been making videos but I never felt you did cause I always walked away with a new idea or inspiration after watching one of your videos but eventually everything runs its course and I do appreciate you not just leaving ,,,,sorry I’m rambling,,,happy trails

[@michaelh10]

Merry Christmas Craig!! Nice to see you post a video!
