Love the dog licking the chiller and the carboy. Priceless.
The dog was just trying to help. The moisture he added to the outside of the carboy provides evaporative cooling!

Best line in the video: "I think it'll be OK, well it has to be OK." IT WASN'T OK. Awesome man. Some of my best laughs are at myself so cheers to you on that front.

I was thinking, "if he was sober, he'd know that he would have to pour some of that wort out."
Drinking and brewing. Gotta love it.

Yeah, it's a good thing I didn't videotape my buddy and me brewing when we were starting out. We'd have some real dumb moments to show people.
"Seriously? A freaking RADIATOR HOSE? You have GOT to be kidding me."

It was a lager. Pitched the yeast at 80F and fermented in the garage or somewhere similar. I don't think I would have won any awards with it. Can't remember, actually.
From my notes:
"There is a slight off taste that might be DMS. Probably need to boil longer next time."
No, passedpawn; the off taste was probably a combination of just about everything you did there.

All the time. Apples to oranges though.

How NOT to Brew. See?
I have a big shiny 15g electric system with pumps, plate chillers, silicon tubing, quick disconnects, etc now. It is still not a laboratory environment though.
hahahaha. "I nearly capsized the pot trying to retrieve it from the middle of the pool." Priceless. You make it sound like a Naval Operation. And just the thought of your kettle floating away... Thanks for sharing.

I NEED to brew with you!
A salute to you, my fellow brewer, for having the courage to post a video the rest of us would have instantly destroyed at all cost and eliminated all evidence that it ever existed.
Loved it! As others have already mentioned it takes a brave/good man to joke about himself. I couldn't believe you didn't pour a little wort out before adding that starter. Awesome!! Thanks for brightening up my day, I think it's the first time I laughed all day.

FYI, James Spencer played this video during his latest (Dec 20 2012) Basic Brewing Radio podcast. He and his cohost narrate while you hear the video in the background, starting at about the one hour mark of the podcast.
That was a shocker. Glad they didn't rip me too bad.

I missed this thread the first time around so I'm really glad it go updated. I'm going to show SWMBO tomorrow so she will realize "creativity" is part of brewing!
Thanks for a great Christmas gift!
