You put your flaked grains through your mill???? I accidentally did that once and my rollers got jambed with flaked oats on the edges. What a mess. Roller wouldn't roll, mill wouldn't mill. You haven't had that problem?

[@HeinekenSkywalker636]

Looks easy enough.. now I just need $100,000 worth of equipment and about 30 weeks off and I’m ready to have a beer

[@JQ3B94]

You can do it with a blender, a cheesecloth, a large pot and a plastic bucket. That's pretty much how it's been done for thousands of years Remember people were doing this at the same time the wheel was invented

[@a9sdg9oajs]

can be done well with $20 worth of equipment

[@Photologistic]

I know you’re joking, but just so no one gets the wrong idea, yeah, you can spend as much as you want, but you’re off by about three orders of magnitude over what it takes to start.

[@joelchrysler6238]

I started making beer in a large cooking pot and a used carboy I got super cheep, maybe $50 all together

[@kriketprayme]

​@@JQ3B94no one should try making alcohol at home. Hundreds of people in India die every year because alcohol is banned in certain states, which leads them to making it at home with less precautions.

[@Captain_Tuko]

In high school I bought a 400$ beer kit, that made 2 gallons of beer, and after acouple of weeks of hard work, I finally made it! Shortly after completion I ended up drinking the whole plastic barrel of warm hoppy beer within a matter of hours… never used it again after that lol

[@deutschelehrer69]

How your mom let you do that in high school

[@Captain_Tuko]

@@deutschelehrer69 kept it hidden in the garage, she never noticed, and my dad didn’t care. he thought it was pretty cool.

I think he was going to say chill it.

[@Photologistic]

1.5 weeks is not even close to enough conditioning time. Two weeks minimum, but it will be much better at 4-6 weeks.

[@Photologistic]

@@Lronhoyabembe Haha, guess again. If you make a very small (low gravity) beer, sure. If you make a bigger beer, it will take much longer for optimal conditioning.

[@richlee509]

​@Ketoswammy what about bright beer?

[@jim6690]

I brewed my own beer for awhile, just for the experience. Of course, given the time, cost, and effort, It's far cheaper to let someone else do it.

[@shekharmoona544]

Tap water? I prefer glacier water in my beer. 😂😂😂

[@Photologistic]

LOL, you’re going to undershoot that mash by about 18 degrees, that beer might not even turn out and if it did it’d be dry AF.

[@lkwdryan]

Dude kinda looks like Dennis from always sunny in Philadelphia!

I think hops are like garlic...just add however much your heart desires

A.k.a. Add none

[@martykitson3442]

Perfect timing on the loop😉🍺

[@teaganwood4102]

I know this is a broad span of information, and most viewers will do more research before attempting. But it is always necessary to teach monitoring the actual progress of the fermentation with a hydrometer, rather than simply waiting 1 week, as you risk bottling a struggling active fermentation and therefore, bottle explosions. Stay safe everyone!

[@jayp976]

Why were you milling flaked oats?

[@Fishing570]

I assume its just like coffee beans, get more flavor with them ground rather than whole.

[@jayp976]

@@Fishing570 not at all, they would just gum everything up

It won’t affect them hardly at all, they are already thinner than the gap.

[@afhostie]

I'd wait longer than a week on the primary, I've had bottle bombs going to early

[@Photologistic]

Nope, guess again. For ales, four days, or you underpitched. Some variation by the exact yeast, but not much.

1 week fermentation? That’s possibly a bit misleading …

I think I will just make moonshine.

Baught a still in the UK from these guys a few years ago. All their stuff is top quality. Would highly recommend.

[@silaswilkinson3709]

Use tap water if you hate your beer tasting good

[@isanBen]

Bit of water, some sugar, a pea worth of yeast, 1 nice and strong beer, boil water with the sugar, let cool to luke warm, add yeast and the beer, pour on bottles, store dark and cozy, 3 weeks later, not the best beer, but Norwegians love it, cheap and easy 😅

[@macspringett8617]

My biggest concern is that you are going to clog your mill running flaked adjuncts through it. I would take that part out of the vid so some pour soul doesn’t ruin their mill bro.

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Honestly, we do this often and have never had an issue with it

[@emigrant4life]

Ok... I'll just go to the store and buy it)) whereas in the Czech Republic you can buy good beer for $1

[@ronniec1]

Just so people know, You dont need all this expensive equipment to brew alcohol. You can make a good wine with nothing but a measuring cup and store bought ingredients.

[@Petr214]

that was an abysmal pour.. hold glass at 45 degrees until just before the end. should have 2 fingers of foam

[@thomasdavidson2886]

not necessarily, some people pour like that to knock some gas out of it so it doesn't make you so bloated

[@steampressedpiston4634]

So what would happen if you didnt use hops?

[@DannieKamete]

Hops are for balancing the sweetness of the malt. They're also for preserving beer. Before hops were used, a spice mixture was used instead, which served the sane function as hops. These beers were known as gruit. Beer by definition must have hops or something similar, otherwise it's some kind of cider or wine. There are low hops beers like wheat beers, sours and stouts. Take a look at the IBU of the beer (international bitterness unit). Hops are what gives bitterness.

[@steampressedpiston4634]

@@DannieKamete could there be a way to substitute hops or make your own? Sorry I'm new to this..

[@DannieKamete]

@@steampressedpiston4634 yes "gruit. Instead of hops, you use a spice mixture called gruit which is "used for bittering and flavouring beer, popular before the extensive use of hops. The terms gruit and grut ale may also refer to the beverage produced using gruit. Today, however, gruit is a colloquial term applied to a beer seasoned with gruit-like herbs." Look up who sells gruit in your area. Alternatively look up the lowest IBU beer with very little hops so as to be imperceptible

[@stevenyerxa2180]

Looks simple

Brew in a bag is weak, unless you’re making all hazes on purpose.
