Way coool Yuri! Your set up looks nice and seems to work very well for you. You have your process well dialed in.
I also liked the dog helping out in clean up! And gotta love satellite radio, I listen to it all the time brewing as well, I usually dial up coffee house for my brew days.
Thanks much for the vids were very interesting and informative to watch!
Cheers,

I am always amazed at how cool your brewing equipment is. That is one cool video series and I thank you for taking the time to get it on film (?internet? ) for us all. I'll be doing my first AG batch this weekend and this helped alot.
Youri, of all your brew day gear I have to say the most impressive item is the ash tray. I love that ash tray man, duct tape rocks! If the women don't find you handsome, at least they will find you handy!

Hey Yuri, I finally got around to watching this series of videos. I have never seen a AG brew actually take place. I have been doing my homework for making the jump to AG, but after watching your videos I realized that there are still several aspects that I am a little unclear on. I have a better understanding now after seeing your vids. I love the DIY mentality! I especially liked seeing a sparge in action. I've always been more of a Visual learner, so I don't always fully grasp something until I actually see it done.
Why did you use sanitizer in your airlock instead of just plain water; can bacteria get into the fermentation bucket through the airlock?
It's just an extra measure of protection. It's probably unnecessary, but it can't hurt. If the temperature in the fermenter changes by more than a few degrees, it's possible for a few drops of liquid from the airlock to be sucked into the fermenter.
