I have never seen anybody talk or brew like this (youtube vid)

hey, nothing wrong with cider beer. i put malt extract in my last apfelwein

Warning!

Not to change the course of the thread, but how much did you use? 2lbs? How did it come out? Just brewed some using EdWorts fantastically simple and tasty method, and now I want to mess with it.

it's been kegged for a week and i haven't taken a sip yet. when i tasted it just before kegging it was might tasty...had a hint of maltiness you don't get from dextrose (obviously)

i just threw in all the extract i had laying around, as i've been brewing all-grain for some time now and been too lazy to make starters. i think it was roughly 2.5 lbs...guessing 1 lbs pilsner dme, 1.5 lbs light dme.

i'll have to report on the taste when i try it. maybe i'll have some tonight

I watched the video and found the guy took to long. Now I also have brewed for over 20 years and my method is simular materials less the Adunct if that what it was.

I fill a saucepan with 2 litres of water. Wash and remove the label from the condensed malt mix. Place in the heating water to soften. I then open and pour the malt mix in the fermenter plus 1 kg of Dextrose. I clean the malt mix with some of the heating water. When the water comes to the boil I pour it in the fermentor and using the handles swill the mix about to stir it up. I then fill it with a further 22 litres of tap water sprinkle the yeast over the top. I place the lid fitted with a tropical fish heater into the wort and put it out of the way covered by an old blanket. I check the fermentation after 3 days and transfer to the secondary after 7. Never had a failure and my beer is better than any commercial types. A couple of German beers I tried came close.

It take me slightly longer than the time it takes to boil 2 litres of water. I tried making beer by extracting the malt from barley and addind all the specialised hops and grains but I like beer not making it. Craig was on the right track but should have refined his method.I shudder to think how long bottling took him.

For me 30 x 750ml bottles takes a total of 2 hours that includes Starting the brew printing the labels, washing the bottles, priming, filling and capping, and of course sampling from a previous batch

To horrify you purists I do not bulk prime and do not intend to. I use a measure to load the sugar add a label and fill. I calculated that I have bottled approximatly 15,000 bottles and ashamed to say I consumed most of them in that time. Believe me I am particular it has to be good and crystal clear. I like Dimple Scotch straight and a nice Barrosa red so if the beer I made was inferior I would not make it. I could not and would not be the but of comments by my "Expert" Aussie drinking mates who would rag me rotten if I served up rubbish. I would challange any of you to give an Aussie a bottle of your beer and let him compare it with a beer he decreed was ridgy didge.

It seems he is trying to illustrate how easy it can be. It is quite obvious(he makes it so) that this is his aim. Hes obviously not looking for a prize winning beer. he seems to just want a beer he can drink and save a buck or two. Not the way people think around here but I don't think we should bash him because he is not doing it the best way possible.

Its like telling someone they cant play good baseball/basketball/foot ball/golf because of how they dribble the ball, what shoes they wear, or how they run. In the end it is still beer and he obviously likes it and in the end thats all that matters.

Oh god his beer must give you a raging headache. I know I know everyone is trying to be nice but come on it's gotta be awful.
