I really appreciate that. Thank you guys! As far as the burp thing goes, I just had to have a laugh. He's known as the "Burp Guy". I've made some fun of the comment he made, but that all it is... fun. Besides, I can't understand who can drink beer and not burp.
Cheers!

Craig joins the forum in 2008, and has only 3 posts.........lol............

I always enjoy watching his videos and they were the first videos that I watched when I started. I've only done a handful of extract batches, but I still enjoy watching them. Whether you agree with his methods on not, He likes what he does and puts a lot of work into it.
Can't believe he can't find more free time to post here. LOL! I think Craig video's himself doing more in a given week than most people "do" in a week.............

Craig, count me as a fan. You're like the Bob Ross of homebrew- an "everyman" who some might ridicule for your simplicity and your home-spun, casual approach, but who far more people see as an inspiration to try something new themselves.
In other words, you do a lot of good for our hobby. Thank you.
Keep brewing those happy little beers. Cheers.

He does more than brewing videos. He has that craigtube live on Friday nights,craig's kitchen,beer reviews,home brew Wednesday,& craigtalk. He's usually pretty busy! I'm still subscribed to his videos & watch them all. Can't wait to get a new camera to start shooting more of my Brewvision videos myself.
i assure you my comment was tongue and cheek. You've driven my point home quite nicely. There seems to be no end to his interests, talents, energy, and drive. All that, and as Dan pointed out, shared with modesty. Rare indeed.

Gotta chime in on this. I got into home brewing on my own and never knew how big of an online community there was. I was probably brewing for a year or so before I even thought to look on YouTube. That being said, Craig was one of the first ones I saw. I think I watched every one of them he had. You know... I've never even noticed the burping. But then again, my wife is always commenting on me burping loudly. So, Right on Brother.
Either way, great YouTube channel.

Haha You guys are making me blush. Listen, I enjoy making the videos and putting them out there. I missed my calling as a radio - television personality, so I chose to fulfil the dream on line. I was perusing a career in music when I was younger, but thanks to a cut-throat industry, I lost interest. And Yesfan, I collect vinyl and it is very hard to find any RUSH on vinyl in Canada. People buy it up like gold. But you know, RUSH is a world class band. They're known all over the world and have HUGE fan bases in countries you wouldn't believe, like Brazil for example. Although Canadians are proud of their top notch prog-rock band, RUSH has made a name for themselves all over the world. Just defending the boys, that's all 
Well this is all a bit off topic I suppose, so I do have a question you guys might be able to help me with. Although I haven't posted on this forum until now, I often come here for information about all things brewing. On occasion, I have run into threads about me (like this one). Some good, some bad - that's to be expected. The one thing I would like to know is... What methods of mine do some find incorrect? I need to know because I would like to fix that if I can. Aside from my very early videos, I've tried to use proper methods of sanitizing, fermentation temps, use of equipment like hydrometers etc... If there's a video out there in particular where I really botched up something, I need to know so I can take it down, or annotate it. Now, I'm being serious, so don't be afraid to be honest. If I'm brewing with my zipper down, I want to know about it. The last thing I ever want to do is put wrong information out there. I did brew only kits for a long time, and I know that's one of the things that pissed some guys off. But I eventually realized the importance of exposing people to a wider range of brewing methods. So, any information in this area would be a great help to me.
Cheers, and thanx!

Craig, you make it kind of tough to say you do things wrong because you make good beer that you enjoy.
If you need something to start with (I'm far from an expert) I'd just ask how the heck do you get away with using an old garden hose for your water source?
Sorry brother. I just can't find anything wrong with the way your brewing mind works. I've never tried a Coopers kit, but do know the first homebrew I made many, many, moons ago was a no boil kit from New Zealand.. and the final brew was wonderful.

Can you stop with the burping?
J/K! You know that if I ever see something that I think you might want to correct, I'll tell you! You know quite a bit about brewing these days, and I think it would be hard for anyone to find a real mistake. Sure, there are "style" preferences out there, and language preferences ('wirt vs wort'), but that's all knit picking IMO.
Cheers, and I hope that sour turns out good!

If you're not burping, you're not brewing. lol.
I just mashed in a Kolsch this morning as a direct result of the help I have received in the past from Craig's videos. As a new brewer with only 10 sessions under my belt, I value someone who can dedicate their time and talent to help new brewers such as myself get started.
Oh what could it be? A garden hose. Lol I drank from one all my life. Don't figure using one to brew with will hurt. lol
Craig, if I was in Canada, I would buy you a beer.
Cheers to ya Brother!

Ok sounds good so far guys. Thanks!
As for the "green hose"... Way back in 1989, I rented a house with my (then) wife. That's where the hose came from. I started using it to fill my bucket. (back then I only had a brew bucket, spoon, siphoning hose, capper, and bottles.) I remember making some pretty bad beers back then, probably due to poor sanitation and temps, or maybe that stupid hose! There was no internet per say, and I read no books. Anyway, I took that hose with me when we moved out. It's been with me ever since. It's told me some stories, and I've told it a few. Well anyway, I know what it tastes like to drink from a brand new garden hose, but this thing is so old that it has no odour and adds no flavour. I drink out of it often when I'm down here in the dungeon. It gets rinsed with very hot water and sanitized before use for brewing. I've been meaning to replace it with standard clear hose for a while now, but only to put minds at ease (not mine of course). It has seen better days, and it's getting hard to bend. LOL My God I can't believe I'm posting this in HBT!!
Cheers!

I had to google that term. Turns out if you have to look it up you are not one.

The garden hose was the only thing I ever really questioned quite frankly. I stumbled on a video of CraigTube's through a google search on how to brew. It was amusing but actually helpful. I noticed that some home videos will suddenly skip over what I now feel are key points. Never assume when you first start brewing is what I tell people now.
I say keep doing what you're doing but that video about how you started your channel made me think you had passed.

I watched a recent one just last night, an extract stout he was doing a mini-mash on, and at the end he used that garden hose to top off...........lol

in one video he said that he never gets any off flavors from that particulat piece of hose. So he just keeps using it to top off,etc.

I'm more of a visual learner and his videos on kegging really helped me.
I can't believe your posting ANYTHING in HBT!! After so many negative comments about you in the past, I figured we'd never see you here. I knew you read the site, from watching your videos, but never expected this!
Anyway, not like I have time to post here much anymore, but welcome to HBT Craig!

Hahaha the legendary fill hose. Craig stole it
Keep up the videos Craig. A lot of shows have come and gone and it's good to see you're still hanging in there. 17

CraigTube - You have succeeded in your entertainment career IMHO. Your videos were an inspiration for me when I first started and still are. Always entertaining!
Drinking a couple for you tonight. Buurrrpp!

Turn your head
Don't look back
Set your sails on a new horizon
Don't turn around, don't look down
And there's life
Across the tracks
And it's really now surprising
It gets better, when you get there
Cheers'n'Beers!

I've never seen the negative comments but it is my opinion that Craig just doesn't care, and shouldn't. People will say just about anything online because it is easy. There's no accountability. I am grateful for those who are willing to stand in front of a camera and teach people like me how to do things. If not for these guys (and girls), I wouldn't have learned as much as I did. Kegging is one thing that comes to mind. Though reading answered a lot, the ability to see things in action was very important.
I'm glad he continues to post here and of course on YouTube.
Yeah,I too still watch all his videos as a subscriber. And it is quite a different thing to get in front of the camera & remember what you want to say & all. There will always be negative comments,so don't give them much thought beyond any constructive critisizms they may contain.
