The SIMPLEST way to start making BEER at home

[@stevenstone307]

Your videos are so good man, the best home brew channel by far at the moment!

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

great video. I think my next batch is gonna be extract

[@matthewrigby9667]

I love you CJ

[@sethb9687]

When are you and Trent going to do another crossover episode!?

[@AlbeeSoaring]

Clawhammer is very well thought out. Its funny cause their videos are more entertainment, but they really care and want to make things as simple and straight forward as possible.

[@TheBruSho]

They are doing things right over there!

[@AlbeeSoaring]

@@TheBruSho Absolutely. This beer kit definitely looks way easier and less intimidating then the one I got. Im super fortunate that I have a local brew shop and they offer brewing 101 classes. After getting my first kit I found the shop and took a class and that helped me get past the intimidation of the massive kit. Now almost 1 year in and I have yet to have a bad beer and that first kit was my only kit beer. Most of which is thanks to channels like yours, clawhammer, apartment brewer, elementary brewing, yeast and the beast and brulosophy. I create all my own recipe's and am just in love with brewing cause of all you guys.

[@russellrlf]

That was very well presented and made for the beginner!

[@dudestewbrews]

Love that you do videos like this from time to time. Bring in the newbies to join the brew crew.

[@rachelmalin8851]

Amazing video as always!

[@tobin_nathan]

No one makes starting to brew more approachable than TheBruSho. Great video as always Trent

[@TheBruSho]

Appreciate that!

[@PortlyGentleman]

I'm curious !! It looks like they put together a nice little kit i like it! 🍻🍻

[@bradleybarth9939]

Nice Video. Definitely covered the important details and steps!

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Wow this video takes me back to the beginning! This is an awesome how-to for beginners that will help so many people out! Well done!

[@mnkybndit]

Great video Trent. Easy to understand and simple to follow for new brewers.

[@nsmith1388]

Nice vid. ClawHammer knows what they're doing for sure.

[@NWsmallbatchBrewing]

Solid video from the master. Nice one.

[@TheBruSho]

Cheers buddy, thank you!

[@BrandonHocky]

Just taken my first step into homebrewing and made a smash pale ale with galaxy hops all thanks to this fantastic channel ❤ much love from the UK

[@TheBruSho]

Cheers and welcome to the hobby!!

[@TigerPat_9180]

Really Enjoyed Your Video , Thanks ! 🐯🤠

[@sterlingb7075]

Wow! Never thought to use the side burner of my grill. Genius

[@TheBruSho]

Might take a bit longer on big batches but worked perfectly for this smaller batch!

[@Hellbrews]

I loved how the fermenter looks, could be very useful for test batches, cheers amigo 🫶🏼🍻

[@jhsleandro]

Great video, Trent! ❤

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

Nice!!!! The 1-2 gallon size is a great starter size and even is experienced brewers can benefit from smaller batch sizes….that way we get to brew more often 😂 cheers Trent 🍻

[@TheBruSho]

Couldn’t agree more! All future experiments are going into this lil guy

[@CityscapeBrewing]

Great video. LOT has changed over the past decade of brewing for me too. 🍻🤘

[@harrisforeman7480]

I recently found your channel and I'm a big fan, you're my favourite "brew-tuber". I was wondering if you've done or are thinking about doing any brews using different types of grain? (Such as buckwheat, millet, rice, etc). Cheers from NZ

[@TheBruSho]

I would really love to do more of that. My mother in law is Gluten Free. I did do one video on a gluten free beer with sorghum, buckwheat, and lentils. Did you watch that?

[@harrisforeman7480]

@@TheBruSho ohhhh no, will definitely give that a watch. Super interested to see how you've incorporated the lentils (fellow vegan here, crazy lover of legumes)

[@WildcatWarrior15]

Homebrewing is one of the only hobbies I've taken up that allows you to go so far with novice level equipment.

[@TheBruSho]

I love that part of this hobby, you can still make good beer with limited stuff

[@smellsamazing]

Great video. Wish I had seen it when I started. Why are you not touching the effects of keeping the hops in the kettle after boiling? Surely will increase the bitterness of the beer.

[@BrewNub]

A bit pricier than other starter kits, but it seems worth the investment. Dealing with a racking cane and cleaning a small-mouth glass carboy was a real hassle when starting out.

[@GentleGiantFan]

$100 seems like a lot for a 1 gallon brew kit.

[@jimboyle7383]

It's WAY too expensive, local home brew store will have better kits for less $$$$

[@Ornzora]

Just buy malt extract powder + hops + wine yeast + honey for the complex taste, how ? You make caramelized honey ! Just like making Bochen but not as much honey, about 5% of total weight/liter, it's way dang cheaper 🔥

[@curtisbingley6233]

Made a whole 21 litres for only 20 bucks

[@IMakeBeer]

Funny how I'm currently doing a "How to Brew" series. Great video, probably better than mine. I'll keep watching..............

[@TheBruSho]

Hahah man we all have the same goal, get more people brewing. So the more videos the better IMO!

[@territorial_slop]

[@noob19087]

What's your opinion on using ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to prevent oxidation?

[@sabaat]

Dang. This kit is sold out. Im waiting for new stock. Any other good similar kit suggestions?

[@Dolmdemon]

Can you use an aluminum pot instead of steel?

[@ericpawlow1231]

Did he say heat up the water to 260 F (at 2:30)? I thought it boils at 212 F.

[@TheBruSho]

Sorry I mumbled that one.. 160F

[@JohnDoe-es5xh]

How to get the nerve poison out of the brew after fermenting?

[@brianwagner9518]

such a pretty diamond on his married hand lol

[@CapsizedCloud]

Just curious, when your beer is bottled and capped, do you continue to leave them in the box, or can you put them in the fridge during those last two weeks? I would assume the former.

[@TheBruSho]

I leave them in the box to keep them organized. And store at room temp for 2 weeks to build pressure, then into fridge. If you go into fridge too early it will take FOREVER for them to carbonate

[@CapsizedCloud]

@@TheBruSho Sweet, thanks, man. I'm starting my first brew (an Irish stout I intend to have wrapped up by St. Patrick's Day) in a couple of days, just waiting for the last of my equipment to arrive. :)

[@jamest5081]

is it safe to mix the beer with the sanitizer like that?

[@TheBruSho]

Yep! its just the foam and StarSan (who makes sanitizer) says don't fear the foam!

[@RileyBrews]

I've never experimented with extracts. The easiest kit for me was an all grain one. This one looks a lot less intimidating

[@TheBruSho]

It might be fun for you to experiment with but I would say generally all grain makes better beer so if you're comfortable with that stick with it

[@dougdietrich1496]

Is it possible to brew a 1 gallon batch using all grain instead of usi g an extract?

[@TheBruSho]

@@dougdietrich1496 absolutely! You can take any recipe and scale it down. Helps to use a brewing software to help scale it down proportionally

[@shuckahoseerazzle8486]

might be a stupid question, but what is the sanitizer stuff? all that foam from cleaning before you add the wort to the jug, its not chemicals is it?

[@TheBruSho]

It’s an acid based sanitizer that’s food safe. It just helps from getting bacterial infections in your beer

[@noob19087]

​@@TheBruSho I'm curious. What acid is it? I mean is it an acid that just happens to also be a disinfectant, or is it really just a strong acid that works because of its low pH? I'm a chemist, and if it's the latter I wouldn't be playing around with that, like putting it in spray bottles 😅 Seems unlikely but your wording did imply it I think.

[@dilldowschwagginz2674]

Brewing from a pre-arranged "beer kit" is like assembling a piece of Ikea furniture. Yeah you technically "built" something but... Just purchase the grains and yeast you need for the style you're aiming for and brew it yourself. Yeah you're going to fail here and there but that's the best way to learn. much more fulfilling and satisfying than simply brewing someone else's prepackaged beer.

[@TheBruSho]

@@dilldowschwagginz2674 I see what you mean but to use your analogy I think a lot of people would be intimidated to stand in front of a table saw and attempt to build a piece of furniture. Kits are a great starting point to give people the basic info about brewing before diving head first.

[@MoongladeDruid]

personally i would wash out he sanitiser before pouring my pre brew beer in

[@TheBruSho]

You just wanna be careful because that can undo the sanitizing and make it less safe, it’s a no rinse sanitizer and completely safe for consumption

[@MoongladeDruid]

@@TheBruSho ahh ok then i stand corrected thank you, i have found previousl;y that it can leave a 'plasiticy' taste behind from some others

[@biotitemicah]

I am a dude who is simply daydreaming about making beer.. but all those bubbles in the container after sanitizing it.. what the heck? That looks like it would add some bad flavor to the beer or something in the beer thats bad for you to drink. Looks like soap.

[@TheBruSho]

Its a food safe sanitizer, and it (allegedly) adds some micro nutrients to the beer. But 100% safe and needed for a clean fermentation

[@Jims2517]

Good information but his sounds like a 7th grade book report!

[@TheBruSho]

Not sure what you mean by that but thanks?

[@danwood4312]

What is the purpose of your video?

[@TheBruSho]

Entertainment with the hope of education

[@jimboyle7383]

Buying your brew gear from Amazon is stupid. You should be buying from your Local Home Brew Store. The ingredients will be fresher and you'll be supporting a store that has the stuff you need. Also, the employees are usually happy to answer any questions.

[@TheBruSho]

I think that’s true but these days it seems harder and harder to find home brew shops. But if you got one near by then for sure support them

[@johnhaze7172]

Where I live we don’t have any

[@TonyKostorowski]

Nope Amazon fo Me10000 percent

[@AllyH-z5n]

Rubbish

[@TheBruSho]

Basura

[@probegt75]

I have beer in bottles from last year that i didn't drink..unrefrigerated. Are they still ok to drink?

[@sethb9687]

They should be fine. As long as they didn't get contaminated. Crack one open and see how it smells. If it smells like anything besides beer, dump it. It might also be oxidized (not sure how well they were packaged), but it'll still be safe if that's the case, just won't taste as good.
