I've been a fan of Craig's videos for a long time but I finally got around to checking out his Justin.tv cast on Saturday (Fri over there). Its actually pretty cool way to spend an evening kicking back with a few home brews, listening to some tunes and having an online chat with some other homebrewers - it's kind of like an online homebrew club. Unbelivable I met a homebrewer who lives in the same town as me in NZ in the chat!

My take on that one is just that he was so thankful that he wanted to take time to thank the guys on the justin.tv cast who, of their own accord, decided to chip in for a few beers after Craig's misfortunate event when his keg spilled out it's entire contents during the cast.

yeah, I'd be stressing a little if the only batch I had at the time was spreading across the floor.

Craig's a pretty good guy.
someones been impersonating him using craigtube as a name on the UK and canada forums

So far all I've seen from him are extract brews from the can? I know he's not much on AG, but he could at least do an extract with some grains & hops, like the kits from midwest...

 

[Wreck99]

He does those too

I like to watch him.. I really like to hear him play and sing. BTW, he has been doing some AG.

I like Craig. His views mesh with mine on The Beer Store. Stupid Ontario.

Craig's videos are great in my opinion. To me he highlights what being a homebrewer is all about. As homebrewers we create beer, which means that the government is not taxing us on that alcohol, or at least as much as they are when we buy beer at the store. We can also create the kinds of beers that we like and we don't have to bow down to the pilsner lager style that has flooded America since prohibition. Craig hits on a lot of these points on his channel, and I think you're hard pressed to find someone who has a better philosophy regarding homebrewing. I started as an extract brewer and you can make some absolutely fantastic beer that way. I have done some all grain and it is better beer for the most part than extract, but to me the difference is kind of like comparing store bought apple sauce to homemade applesauce. The homemade is better, but the store bought is pretty damn good as well.

He got me into the hobby!
I've quickly moves to AG but if it weren't for that video, I would never have started!

I agree with the above post.
I was watching random videos on youtube and came across CraigTube, BAM...
Got me started with gusto, done 1 coopers kit then went straight to All grain, I still watch every one of his videos and enjoy them alot. Thanks CraigTube.

He just posted another homebrew Wednesday video. He started an AG 1 gallon sour beer Dan sent him. His & others videos on youtube got me started as well. Still use my Cooper's Microbrew FV.

 

[dstranger99]

He does all kinds of stuff too, I saw one where he was out camping and did a video on cooking hash with vegetables.....

I watched his videos quite a bit awhile back. I picked up several things from the videos. He does ramble a bit from time to time, and the "gulp gulp... ahhh" bit that seems to be on every homebrew youtube video is a bit over done... But he's easy to listen to, and he does give sound advice in as much as for what he is doing. I don't recall if he did more than one all grain video back when I was looking at them.

Over all, there are few home brew tubes that are worth watching. His is definitely worth watching.

Brewing TV is very good as well.
