The Homebrew Project part 1 | The Recipe,Things You Need and No Chill Brewing

[@OPE08]

Great video. My only worry about long, slow chills is the danger of DMS, especially in lagers and light bodied beers. From the PicoBrewery website: "...The decomposition reaction that converts s-methylmethionine to DMS is driven by heat. Once you shut off the heat and start cooling the wort, scrubbing action of the steam is halted. However, DMS continues to be formed until the wort is below about 160oF. Hence, a long steep will increase DMS..."

Nice to see you into homebrewing.Thanks Rick

[@duckmanco04]

Great video man, ever since my last review, I fell into homebrewing hard. 7 batches in fewer months and I still can't get enough. Listening to the airlock bubble away on my session Black IPA as I type this. Keep these coming!

[@WannaBeDj100]

Awesome job, REALLY Good info! I've brewed 5 batches so far & I alway did the "No chill" method. Did not change my hop schedule & now I know my beers where over hopped. I looked a dozens of "what happened to propduce this falvor" charts & never really seen anything that I was doing wrong, other than Maybe oxidation & brewing @ 72F. I now believe its more to do with the hop schedule more. Can't wait till your next video & I hope this is a new series that u'll be able to do. Thanks, David

[@LuponicChronic]

Thank you so much. These videos are a great way to hear the brewing process talked about in a relaxed and in-depth manner. Appreciate all the work man, Prost!

[@emilianomarshall5257]

I know it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?

[@alejandroxzavier5154]

@Emiliano Marshall Ehh lately I've been using Flixportal. just google after it :D -alejandro

[@emilianomarshall5257]

@Alejandro Xzavier Thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it !!

[@alejandroxzavier5154]

@Emiliano Marshall you are welcome :D

[@capitalistraven]

@BeerGeekNation you have made me a happy brewer. Definitely buying some for my next batch. Cheers.

[@TheGrandOleHopry1]

Nice work Chris. Can't wait to see the rest...

[@kuragedaisuki244]

Awesome! I can't wait to try it out! I'm going to be brewing a Imperial Holiday Ale/Imperial Stout recipe with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove and peppermint. Maybe I could send you a bottle and see what you think!

[@kiwifella101]

Great series of vids - have watched all 4 and will try the recipe myself. Thanks

[@jamesmitchellsailarmy]

Thanks for putting up your videos. I want to get back into brewing. I brewed when I was in college as a biology major 20yrs ago. So I am not quite a beginner but close as my memory has faded. My wife enjoys beer also but thinks this is a stupid waste of time. I am going to do it anyway but I need to get it right so she'll say keep going instead of "I told you so!". Haha. I have been watching youtube videos for about 6wks now and have been getting anxious about getting started. This

[@DenisLD]

Great video, Chris! I'll check out the other parts now! Cheers!

[@RyanReschan]

Spray bottles are the best! I used tap water though. I heard if you used distilled water then it will last even longer. I've been using OxyClean for cleaning but I should probably switch to PBW. I do rinse really well though. I should get that pH stabilizer to help out with the Campden tablet. Looking forward to part 2.

[@Tantrum777]

Life is too short, drink amazing home brew! Good Job Chris, I use starsan and pbw as well.

[@timmythorpe]

awsome chris!! you have inspired me to do all grain

[@DoogieDoog]

@BeerGeekNation That's awesome! such a good name!

[@JS-kt6sd]

Love the no chill method.. its so easy..

[@KarijiniXpress]

Dude.. you're a saint. Your vids have peeled back my eyelids and shown me the way - thanks so much. PS Ascorbic acid is vitamin C, right? Thanks from down under!

[@JunkFoodJohn]

Some of the alpha acids adhere to malt compounds (proteins) before boiling starts. This stabilizes them and prevents isomerization to isoalpha acids (the bitter acids) during the boil.

[@rettingerryan7136]

RED 5 IM GOING IN!!!, love it man!

[@OASISBLISS]

Amazing - you rock bro thanks for covering everything so well !!

[@yambor44]

I tried to read most comments and did not see this. You mentioned 1 oz per gallon and I believe it is 1 oz per 5 gallons (as you originally mentioned before correcting yourself) on the Starsan. Also, I was thinking there was a lot of info on HBT recently about the 5.2 PH mix not changing the PH levels in the water/mash at all. I'll see if I can drum it up and shoot you a message. Great video! Looking forward to seeing the other two right now.

[@terriwalters6803]

I am looking for that container, too. A link would be helpful. Thanks.Thanks for the videos, too!

[@John_in_SoDak]

Awesome, ive been waiting for this series!

[@mnbvcxz806]

nice one mate.clear and informative.good lad.

[@kuragedaisuki244]

Wow, I feel kinda silly now. I didn't even know they make PH Stabelizers. You said NorthernBrewer sells it? I can't wait to use it in my next recipe! Thanks Chris!

[@dorf68]

Just chill your pot in a ice bath to make your day faster. That's what i do anyway. It's cool to see everyone's technecs on how to brew, I'll be watching for next one. You should link this to the sjporr brew challenge. Were all gonna brew beer with a basic grain bill and then send them out to everyone that's doing it.

[@BeerGeekNation]

Yep and its a must for mashing!

[@jamesmitchellsailarmy]

Thanks for your videos. I want to get back into brewing. It's been about 20yrs. My wife enjoys beer also but thinks this is a stupid waste of time. I am going to do it anyway but I need to get it right so she'll say keep going instead of "I told you so!". Haha. I have been watching youtube videos and am getting anxious to start. No chill has alleviated this as it is less cost. Will this make a similiar beer to Foster Bitter in the green can? James

[@Andrwb33]

quick observation....on the hop addition chart. when it says FWH i think it may mean first hops at time of transfer into fermenter. correct me if i am wrong but it just doesn't make sense to me that adding them into the kettle after the mash wouldnt do much for flavor/aroma. it would just be like a 60 min bitter addition.

[@SausageHeadz]

cracking vids mate. very informative, you have a new fan.

[@OPE08]

@BeerGeekNation - I'm sure that, in general, it will come out fine. I'm not sure that it is a process that I would advise for the most part, only because not every beer has a 90 minute boil. Honestly, I dont believe DMS is a big issue, but I am always wary of "time saving" steps for some reason. Granted, plate chillers can be a pain, but the avg brewer probably has an immersion chiller, and outside of the hot zones like where I live, chilling isnt that much of a pain. I avoid HBT Cheers!

[@CLK1973]

RED 5 Standing by!

[@capitalistraven]

With the five star sanitizer, do you have to let that dry before it comes in contact with your beer? Also, do you sanitize everything with that solution (bottles, and so on) or just the parts you mentioned in the vid? I'm very curious because I've been using bleach which is a HUGE pain to rinse and I suspect my bottles on my last batch had a chlorine trace since they've been conditioning for a week and haven't carbonated yet. Thanks.

[@maxmorter]

with the water salts would it maybe be good to use distilled since your adding all the extras?

[@drolretfa]

Red 5, I didn't know I was a dork, LOL. Can one use those "dry hopping bags" to do a brew in the bag beer? Thanks. Cheers!!!

[@Optimatorz]

@bmeyer44 I'm not being critical of your video and admit that I'm just regurgitating what others have told me about DMS (i.e. that some SMM is left behind if you don't do an extended boil). How long do you boil a batch? Have you tried this? If so, which beers? I'm really curious to see how this turns out because I'D LOVE TO SAVE all of that time it takes to bring beers down to pitching temperature. Especially lagers.

[@drop2807]

So , I was also going to ask you . I used a strainer bag for my hop additions . Any difference or effect ? Thanks .

[@AlejandroInAustin]

Very good how-to pt1 :)

[@Stewbphoto]

Star San is 1oz / 5gal

[@FishRock77]

Not sure about no chill. I mean chilling quickly is key to get the cold break material to drop out. Also, plastic isn't supposed to have hot wort in it. Also, letting it cool would create suction when you open it vacuuming in outside environment when you open to pitch the yeast. I'm curious as to how this way tuns out. Seems like many ways to get infection in your beer.

[@chemicalcraig69]

Nice video. A few things, though. You said oxiclean is bleach based. It is not. It is sodium percarbonate & sodium carbonate. The most important thing is that it's Cl-free. PBW is sodium metasilicate and sodium percarbonate, pretty close to oxi. You can mix your own pbw cheaply. You probably misspoke, but you referred to isoenzymes when I think you meant to say isoalpha acids. The hop schedule alteration really depends on how quickly the wort cools down. Is 3 days long enough for dry hop?

[@DoogieDoog]

RED 5! LOVE IT!!! if i'm asuming right... Star Wars!?

[@TheHammer609]

Nice beer glass.

[@jedimann74]

yup but its actually Lukes call sign not the name of his X-wing. He also does a stint as Rogue Leader too but that's in the books. Geek on baby!

[@skullface1818]

When I run out of the cleaning power that came with my kit, Ill probably be switching to using oxiclean green. got any good advice for removing gunk out of a blow off tube?

[@cheeseballdino]

are the paint strainers made out of nylon? what material are they?

[@FighterHayabusa-NES]

Is the 5.2 ph Stabilizer only for all grain or can you use it for extract brewing as well?

[@Andrwb33]

edit: just did some reading on FWHopping and it appears you are correct. Strange and counterintuitive but appears to work. sotty

[@BrauereiTUBE]

great video my friend:-) all-grain-greetings from austria.

[@MandalorianFanboy]

[@insulatedmemory]

red 5 this is gold leader.

[@Optimatorz]

Yeah, I would worry about DMS formulation with a no-chill method.

[@TheKneesintheBreezeBrewer]

LOL ! Well I guess I'm a Dork then, as soon as you mentioned the name of your home brewery (Red 5 Brewing) LOL I knew exactly what it was LMAO ! Well Cheers to all of us Dorks then ! As always great videos my friend .

[@indabebe]

Do you have a link to that container? i cant find it on us plastics

[@superscottify]

It is 1 ounce per 5 gallons of tap water.

[@CLBizzle]

I can't find that container on us plastics website. I'm blind. Help please.

[@szcpos]

"STAR SAN HB is a blend of phosphoric acid and dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid" OXY contains Na2CO3, not blech no need for rinse

[@hsbc2468]

Starsan - 1 ounce per 5 gallons

[@biker944]

cool

[@BeerGeekNation]

haha yep

[@gilligan07734]

i tried to get red 5 for my xbox gt but had to settle for ech0 0ne

[@scrambyvision]

Doh! Call me a dork I suppose. Wonder if the Jedi drank beer....

[@AussieDownUnder]

And everyone knows how good aussie beer is! :)

[@scottputnam3210]

hey

[@scrambyvision]

Red Five? Like Star Wars? Luke Skywalker's X-Wing?

[@maxmorter]

well i have a distiller so thats no issue

[@SouthernOregonOrgani]

dude ur tap ph is 11?! thats really high!

[@JaeTizzle]

Red Leader standing by. Lock s-foils in attack position.

[@BeerGeekNation]

AG only

[@raiderrob672]

I was just rewatching this and a thought came to me. if you are only putting your bittering hop's in for 40 minute's then you can actually get away with doing a 40 minute boil.

[@ianharris7860]

No matey the boil, in no chill should be at least 90 minutes with the lid off.

[@raiderrob672]

ian harris Forgot about boiling off the DMS.

[@ianharris7860]

Anyway here's to wishful thinking cheers.

[@rawimpact]

dude i wish you were my neighbor...

[@FUreplygirl]

Very careless to tell people Starsan is safe to drink. It comes with a MSDS which clearly states it should be used in a well ventilated room with chemical resistant gloves and goggles. MSDS also states if it is ingested you should drink glatine or egg whites and seek medical attention immediately. Whenever I clean with it properly dilluted without gloves my hands will become swollen and painful for a couple days afterward.

[@todaytriper]

ty

[@FUreplygirl]

lol

[@ftbuddy]

It's not ascorbic acid, either.

[@IDeathMetal58]

Then YOU my friend are allergic to Phosphoric Acid (the main active ingredient in Star san)

[@clagadin71]

He was right the first time, 1oz per 5 gal, not 1oz per 1 gal.
