HBW 288 - StarSan Wine

[@thomasgraham8563]

Im happy to see you’re still creating videos. It’s been a few years since I’ve visited your channel. Not because anything you did or didn’t do, just life happens. I’ve always enjoyed your videos. My brother, best friend and I started Brewing again. I’m working on catching up on your videos today. Cheers

[@nah3186]

Definitely on point with differences in buzz depending on what you’re drinking. Beer is always our favorite happy all over buzz. Cheers 🍻

[@christeamhound]

On a serious note dude, we need more Craig’s Kitchen!

[@Yellowsnow1]

THIS!! Totally forgot about those vids.

[@eatwhatthemonkeyseat8161]

100%...loved that series, was shot like a proper tv show.

[@CraigTube]

It's coming back!

[@dobos420]

Your back !!! Love you beer and wine brewing man. Thank you for sharing

[@silversasquatch79]

Good to see you back again, Craig! Cheers and 17!

[@JIMMBAY1]

Another grrreat video & content. I thank thee for all, Craig. God Bless thee & your's on this fine Labor Day here in, Michigan...

[@andrewlutton4684]

Good to see you back. Cheers.

I have one of the Ss Brewtech Brewbucket fermenters that has a immersion coil in the lid for fermentation temperature control, though it also works great as a wort chiller. I transferred my hot wort to the Brewbucket, fired up the cooling and realized I had my blow off hose plumbed into a bucket of starsan like you'd do during fermentation. Well the rapid cooling of the wort created suction and it pulled the bucket of starsan into the wort through the hose. :( Wont make that mistake again.

[@olebjrklund8648]

Hi Craig, Sounds like you are going to add a new item for your brewhouse checklist :) We have all made this kind of faults... And will probably do more of them :D Cheers and have a nice week.

[@patchworxbrewing4164]

Keep it real Craigster cheers buddy good to see you. Thanks again man

[@deanmullen1422]

Enjoyable vid, happened to be relaxing and drinking a hoppy home brew at the time, but that’s just circumstantial. Cheers 🍺

[@echardcore]

Hey Craig! When Star-San is cloudy like you have there, it's no good anymore. If you use distilled water, that doesn't happen. I usually make 2 - 3 gallons at a time and keep it in a bucket with a screw-top lid. It will stay clear forever unless I get some beer or other unwanted things in it. Then I dump it. I have discussed this with many people.

[@CraigTube]

One of the makers of StarSan was interviewed, and he said that as long as it's below a ph of 3, it's killing. I test mine regularly and even though it's cloudy, it still has the acidity to sanitize. Never been a problem for me. This debate has gone on for years. Lots of talk out there, but from the horse's mouth, cloudy is fine. It's all about the PH, and mine is never more than 2.

[@echardcore]

Nice! Thanks for the reply!

[@lordsigurdthorolf1202]

Craig, TY from Phoenix Arizona ;

Great show.

[@alexmcgregor7082]

Cascade hops are the best!

[@cat2972]

Happy face never for me is a great stout.... even an imperial or coffee stout I love them

[@roberteriksson8597]

Freeze distill?!! In wich temerature?

[@ForgetU]

Mistakes happen... Thinking through the problem will generally let you come up with possible solutions. Keep using the head.

[@thesuperfan99]

Although I can completely understand the frugal nature of trying to re use a formerly contaminated fermenting vessel. A fermentor is so much cheaper than even a single batch of ruined beer.

[@HaplessGingerBrew]

Starsan turns to a yeast nutrient anyhow so other than watering down it would be fine. Not suggesting adding a gallon of starsan to your wine or beer though😂 I’m not sure hops would affect the way alcohol works on the body but they are known to make you slightly sleepy in large quantities. I imagine that the affect of hoppy beers would be due to the fact that heavy hopped beers such as IPA’s are usually higher ABV.👍👍

[@dropgold]

Psst, glad you liked the Hoptical (SE) ;) Iswear by Star-San when cleaning fermenters, but I would not be able to pluck up the courage to drink a batch of wine when dumping it on top of nearly a gallo of ths tuff. I can just about handle the foam, but not that much :) Look forward to your next video. Catch you this Friday on your live cast... 17!

[@AntonFromStockholm]

Even though I feel the pain, I also recognize the feelings you probably went through. "This will be a OCD thing for me from now on" made me laugh haha.. probably would have been for me too

[@whaaaaa]

you still doing a live stream on friday's?

[@mittelfruh]

To all those complaining/lamenting the days of old of Craig posting a weekly video...relax. Other than the cost of our internet connections, we are getting his content for FREE! I'll freely admit, I too miss the days of regular content, but times change. If he's running out of weekly ideas, I'd rather he post when he has something to add, be it weekly, monthly, or whenever. I look at it this way. At least he's still around. I don't know how many other channels I've previously subbed to over the years, that have abruptly vanished. I get the feeling Craig is a "stand-up" guy. I hope it never happens, but I trust Craig would put up a final video if he was ever thinking of closing his channel down. Cheerz/17

[@eatwhatthemonkeyseat8161]

Thank your for the videos Craig, I would watch you watching paint dry mate.

[@tvtoms]

It's been a LONG time since I said this so bear with me and I'll just blurt it out and go. There is NO NEED for a gallon or similar amount of star san solution! No need! lol! Use a spray bottle and spray liberally. Swish it around in your carboy or jug or bucket or other fermentation vessel. It only needs to touch the surface, you don't need to bathe in it and neither does your gear. Spray your gear as you're about to use it. Save money, save time, save storage space, recycle those gallon apple juice jugs, lol. OK, said my piece. Happy brewing!

[@roberteriksson8597]

Youre so good!!

[@kjchop123]

I haven't watched you in a while Craig but I'm back! Keep up the great work! Yew!!

[@hoppybobsommers]

Good to see you again, Cheers. (17). 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺. HoppyBob

[@CaptainBailey4007]

Yea I second that. We need more uploads!! I miss the days looking forward to the weekly uploads😭🍺🍻

[@eddieramser9479]

Great HBW, Craig! 17

[@steve45ca]

Cheers Craig! BTW head stone from smoking pot, body stone from eating pot ;)

[@chrislion6777]

Instead of putting in yeast nutrient can u use crushed raisings to enhance the yeast?

[@CraigTube]

I have heard of that, yes.

[@CptRoboto]

Does anyone know how to co tact Craig directly? I’ve tried his website but it’s been a while since it’s been updated. An email link or anything would help. Craig are you reading the comments?

[@graymalkin26]

[@countryboycharlie9793]

[@steviertommoethompson5932]

[@mukinfutch1645]

[@chrislion6777]

What's the best way to end fermentation in wine and vinegar

[@CraigTube]

Camden tablet.

[@snowboardman420]

You still do Friday night live streams? Are they streamed on KZbin?

[@mittelfruh]

[@darrenstouchbury427]

Hi Craig it's Darren from the UK I got some hops in the bag and he's got a whole innit so few months old is it possible I can still use the bag please let me know

[@CraigTube]

Smell them. If they still smell like hops, use them for flavour / aroma.

[@captainpegs0740]

More mini mashes!

[@davemaloney9473]

[@drscubarob]

Geez, between this and the Inmate hooch you made and drank (and liked) I am CONVINCED that you will drink ANYTHING and say that it's "not bad..." What's next - RV Antifreeze Ale? (You should try to brew it - it's drinking water safe and non-toxic.) I'm sure you'll find it to be "not bad..."

[@TheCooperman666]

I love me some newcastle brown ale sometimes

[@hammondeggert8833]

New...Castlebrown....can sure....put ya down....30 Days In the Hole....

[@harryballsnack7297]

Craig, I'm a bit concerned. What are all the spots on your face and neck?

[@canadianbrewer]

A very " clean " wine.

[@elliottbradshaw]

Flying Monkeys Brewery(Barrie Ontario) makes the Hoptical Illusion. It's greeeeeat as are their others: Juicy ass IPA, Smashbomb Atomic IPA, LIve Transmission milkshake IPA

[@easterdayryan]

I did not like the live transmission. Not sure what it was. But i like the collective arts liquid art fest which is my favorite beer.

[@easterdayryan]

Which is in Hamilton Ontario.

[@fleeulrich337]

Flying Monkeys also has Chocolate Manifesto...absolutely great chocolate stout!

[@innovision777]

Opp's I did it again..... ;p
