AG Video?

Hello all,

Well I want to go to AG ASAP, and have read a bunch about it. However, I learn better from watching. I just watched the Joe Polvino video that was very informative, but I have just a basic setup. Can anyone suggest a video on youtube or any other site that will give me a good idea of how to do AG with just a basic setup? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

How about Bobby_M's: http://www.youtube.com/bobbyfromnj

There are a lot of all grain vids on youtube with various levels of equipment. The ones I did were based on a batch sparge which may be closer to what you're working with.

With no offense to Bobby (his vids are very good) this is what i watched even before joining this forum. [ame]http://youtube.com/watch?v=eIGrsGPVA_Y[/ame] He uses basic equipment and it's a fairly detailed 8 part video. This guy is a little overboard with cleaning and sanitation (see his kegging video's). All in all good stuff.

Chris's vids are very good. I think eight parts is a little more than most people can swallow, but it's a relatively deep dive. You can't make everyone happy at the same time.

Exactly, when I first watched them I thought there's no way I can do that, but he does use basic equipment. Although I never saw him using a nad guard.

I have the Basic Brewing one and I was pretty happy with it. I've watched everybody elses though too, and they are great. You can never have too much info!

It's not exactly video, but this link shows the basics with simple and cheap equipment.

Bobby: I like your POV style of shooting, so it's like you're right there. Good content as well.

No doubt you could ask 100 AG brewers to make a video, and you'll get at least 100 different ways of doing it.

For a simpler method, you can just substitute. For example, before I had a pump, I used a saucepan to collect the runnings and dump them into the boil pot. And before I had the CFRC, I used an immersion chiller. And before I had the Barley Crusher, I bought my grains pre-crushed.
