Fair Drinkum Brews Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 So I'm at abit of a crossroads and would like input/thoughts. I want to get into content creation of my home brewing to share my journey. Do you think it's a good idea, why/why not? I will NOT be doing "How To's" etc, as I am definitely not that knowledgeable yet, it would be more of a "join me as I brew (insert brew/extract kit name here) and would film the process from day 1 of brew, to taste testing etc. Maybe a video or 2 of how and why I got into homebrewing, a brew room tour etc. let me know why or why not you think it would make for good viewing? P.S: Im not thinking of it from a monetisation viewpoint, i dont care if i dont make a cent from it, or brand deals etc, I just wanna share my journey with anybody who'll listen haha. Cheers, HoratioFrothblower 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Drinkum Brews Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 @Shamus O'Sean thanks, I appreciate that. I decided to do up an instagram page as a stating point, so I dont overcommit and underdeliver. have done up a bunch of posts so far about my brewing journey. Feel free to check it out, but also don't if it's not your cup of tea. https://www.instagram.com/fairdrinkumbrews/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBillett09 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 @Horatio_FrothBlower I think if your enjoy it it’s worth doing it for your enjoyment and others enjoyment is a side benefit! I’m sure however that there would be plenty of people who would like to watch videos like that, I like to watch videos of others brewing particular beers before I try them, so what the process is like, appearance of final product, tasting notes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Drinkum Brews Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 @Classic Brewing Co & @John304 haha fair enough, I don't plan on doing that. I just want to share my journey of homebrewing with as many people as people as possible, everyone has their own way of doing things, I definitely won't be blaring on about oh guys new ep has dropped now, or new video coming soon. Those that want to follow will know by following and getting notified that way etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am proven wrong, I will stand corrected. Frank will tell me if I am right or wrong I am sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has some good videos and certainly has brewing knowledge he probably joined the forum before a lot of us did I really don't get what you are insinuating Edited July 15 by Back Brewing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 18 hours ago, John304 said: There was a member on here who used to do brewing videos, “fast home brew” King Ruddager was his name I think. His videos were quite amusing The only problem I have with such things is that it gets boring after a while. There are only so many times you can watch somebody brew beer, even if it is eye candy like the lady from Flora Brewing. SO people branch out to equipment testing and things like that but it is usually equipment most people cannot afford or have no real use for, so that gets boring too. The tricky bit is to make ever changing content while staying true to yourself and the concept. I've thought about it a few times but cannot come up with something innovative that hasn't been done a thousand times. But then again, I am about as creative as a wheelbarrow full of sand, so I am not surprised. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also a few others on the Internet that do similar & as you say it can get boring just watching someone empty a can of extract & mixing it up. The other thing that amused me was the lack of hygiene, with mess & spills everywhere, junk & kitchen stuff all over the place, one bloke can't stop pushing his hair back during the whole process. There are others have had kids roaming around getting in the road where there is boiling water etc. I saw another that kept patting the dog in-between handling fermentables, not a good message to put out there, especially on the telly! Watching the pros like David Heath & Palmer etc. makes a hell of a difference as you can actually learn something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
