Ever watched one of those boring YouTube home-brewing tutorials?


Recommended Posts

Yeah the only issue was it kept freezing due to poor upload bandwidth. There was one part where I was talking about Rick and Morty and then Seinfeld for a few minutes and the whole bit got cut!

I did see a few "hi Ruddy" comments though, so obviously a couple of people from here briefly tuned in.

It was a lot of fun to do though and I could have kept going for ages, but also you have to know when to call it quits.

I'll be keen to jump in on the next one 🙂

Let us know when you plan to do it!

Just record yourself with a camera next to your computer while you live stream and upload the camera recording afterwards

My next brew will be all mosaic as the pirate life mosaic is second to none. How have you found mosaic as a bittering hop. I did a single Citra IPA before and it was pretty harsh in terms of bittering flavour

I've made a couple of Mosaic SMASH brews and find the hop quite nice. Good for bittering and very aromatic. I like the grapefruit flavours it imparts on the beer.

  • Blocks of ice to cool partial boils quickly
  • Chux cloths for dry hopping, including food handling gloves sprayed with starsan for removal and squeezing of said dry hops
  • Marbles in said Chux cloths to weigh them down, fishing line to pull them out
  • Use some of your hop boil liquid to rinse your Coopers can instead of boiled water
  • Online calculator for mixing boiled water with tap water to get an end volume of water at 70°C, much easier than trying to heat it to 70°C
  • Bulk priming in primary
  • Leaving SG sample in test tube beside actual brew for approximate SG without taking excessive samples
  • Join the Coopers Forum for lots of help and advice on brewing

Anyone else got any tips I can steal for video ideas?

Putting a 10mm approx wedge underneath the tap side of your FV so it tilts the vessel slightly. At bottling/kegging time, remove said wedge and sit flat so the yeast cake is at a lower point on the tap side which helps not draw the yeast into the last few litres

Fast tip: I've found there's no real need to soak extract tins in hot water if your swishing them out with hot water after emptying the contents anyway.

Oh poo, you're a day late @MUZZY - I could have tried that yesterday if I'd known! It'll probably be several months before I do another partial or kit brew ... unless MOTB comes up ROTM I suppose

I think your wish has been granted KR
