Funny Youtube brewing video :-)

How to make home brew the modern way...

It doesn't get any easier than that!

Is he related to Craigtube?

I don't know but I think the guy is about to timeshift doing that crazy Butterflyeffect shake.

Same basic idea, except this guy is chugging beers while he's showing how to make beer! He's no brewmaster, but he seems happy with the results.

I hope that is not a side effect of muntons kits.

I love this guy, I giggle everytime I watch this... especially the powdered sugar bit. Powdered sugar has corn starch in it...

I wasnt sure what powdered sugar was lol

He has a new video where he shows making the kits with dry malt extract - some guys told him on his you tube site it would be better so he started making the kits that way. He says its way smoother - guess he can poubnd them down in half the time now hehehhehee

Classic!

thats better than the "Good Eats" episode on homebrewing. He is very passionate about it though, and even adds the obligatory "this is good **** man"

I cringed when I saw that unopened can of extract sitting in a pot of boiling water! Someday this guy is going to get a faceful of scalding hot LME.

shoot, and to believe I spend a whole hour boiling. this dude makes beer that makes him happy in about 5 min. no hops?

that's good beer!!

my favorite line is "I'm not going to chug it, I'm going to enjoy it"...then he drinks the whole beer in about 20 seconds...

EDIT: I watched CraigTube - and I have to say "what the HELL is adjunct"???

Maybe the unfermntable cornstarch is giving it some body. lol

No kidding... and shrapnel. The word thermodynamics is obviously not in this guys vocabulary. There are at least three too many syllables in that word for him to comprehend.

On the flip side, he does seem happy with the end result. I wonder... If he knew how much better it could be, if he would be so happy with that swill.

Maybe that is why he is shaking, It may have already happened once but he doesn't know how to do it any other way. he sticks with what works.

Lars, he's done with you! Guess he told you!

Does he have his own website? We could redirect all the hootch makers there.

Hello Steel Spoon. Meat Plastic Bucket. Oh no, Scratches? Damn, why does y beer taste funny all of a sudden? Uh oh, I gotts poop...


And on a serious side, yes, he is enjoying the hobby and I give him an atta boy.:rockin:

I maybe wrong about this, but aren't all canned goods canned at temperatures at or above boiling to ensure sterility. so using a double boiler like that would prevent it from going above 212F as long as there is water in the outer pan. wouldn't this mean that the pressure in the can won't reach the point where it will explode?

I bet this guy thinks natty lite is really great beer...

Why do people like this feel the need to teach people how to do things wrong?

Next up, cooking with hand grenades.

"which leads me to the next lesson... DON'T SMOKE CRACK"

When he's showin' the labels of the kits he's used, he's got a Kansas state fair ribbon....I'm guessin' it's not for homebrew.

Ya'll watch the next video in the series about bottling? He starts out with corn sugar, runs out and gets the powdered sugar, get frustrated with it clumping and goes and gets the cane sugar! Says if it works out he may just switch to it!

I don't think he's as hardcore as some of the folks here are, just a dude makin' beer to get f'ed up on. I remember when I first started with kits, hell, I threw out the first batch I made 'cause it didn't taste like Bud. Maybe he'll eventually learn more and take it further, maybe not. If he's enjoying it, more power to him.

Interesting way to make caramel sauce - put a can of sweetened condensed milk in a pot of cold water, bring it to a boil, simmer about an hour.

Viola, dolce de leche.

The can will not explode. The little safety button will pop back and forth, but no boom. Must be refrigerated after cooking, and use promptly.

Maybe I'll make a video, and be a star...

I will show you how to make great beer!

It really wasn't my intention to rain on the guy's parade...just to point out a potentially very dangerous practice that he's teaching. I'm sorry the guy seemed to take it so personally, but I can't really control that. Maybe that's why the video is so shaky...he's trembling with rage!

How hard would it be for him to punch a little hole with his can opener first, and avoid the danger?

Because he'd have to reshoot the can in boiling water segment and edit it into the piece. And thats sooooooooooooooo hard.

This guys makes me laugh, but if he can be so nonshalant about certain aspects of the brewing process it makes me understand that I need to relax and enjoy when I get. I'm about to bottle my first brew and if I can enjoy my own 1/2 what this guys does I'm in good shape.

"This is good sh*t"...lol.

he is also a very deep thinker.

It's not wrong.

It's perfectly acceptable, and he enjoys the results.

He sanitises
He uses a good Kit
He takes advice from others (DMEis better)
He enjoys the results
It's BEER.

80% of the "Home Brewers" in the world probably make beer in a VERY similar way...and enjoy the results.

Give the guy a break.

Here's a more recent submission entitled, "How I make beer now."

[youtube]T4B48ThwjNo[/youtube]

He's got some misconceptions, but he's learning, albeit rather slowly. He's enjoying the hell out of the hobby and having fun, just like a certain other albino we know...

I'll cut him some slack.

Is This Guy Serious?

I think that I didnt even make my first batch that bad. But if its to his taste then props to him.

I like this guy. He has fun with it and worries a hell of a lot less than anyone of us. I watched a few of his videos when I first started out and I learned it can be pretty easy. He enjoys what he makes too so I say dont give him crap.

Your Right Yuri, now the certain Albino makes wine.

[youtube]zS77T35SrPA&feature[/youtube]

I'm suprised he puts videos on youtube(so obviously he can use a computer) but that's all he can do for brewing. There are so many great brewing resources on the web, and for the most part, they are all uniform in their methods. Maybe that's all he wants to do or has time for, who knows. It just seems like anyone armed with a little more knowledge would change that method.

I made it through 36 seconds... Thats all I could stand

I agree 100%. One of his hobbies is brewing beer. He enjoys it and he makes a beer that he likes to drink. If other people don't like his methods or finished product then so what?? He likes it and that's all that matters.

Part 2 of Albino Wine is pretty funny - he put bloopers at the end...

[youtube]zpnUCUZEwTU[/youtube]

Though I think his first blooper was adding bentonite before fermentation even started.

His wine making videos aren't nearly as hideous as his brewing videos. He's learned a few things.

<paraphrasing>"Does that seem wierd to you?? Does it?? Well, that's what I believe"</paraphrasing>

I was laughing out loud at this one!! Mebbe he was seeing the UFO's while he was drinkin' some of that homebrew while seein' them!

He's got a nice Ford Torino, but a couple of the "road rage" videos he's posted are a bit troubling.....
