My RV-based brewing adventures

[irontodd]

Hi all,
I hope this is the right forum for this.
My family and I are moving into a fifth wheel trailer and selling the house! But I sure dont want that to end my homebrew career. I thought I'd make a YouTube channel to share the fun. I'll do some how to videos, and share tips on conquering some of the mobile challenges. I've only got an intro video as of 8/22/18 but hope to do fairly regular updates.
Here's the link! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAE8DAAzjNZ0uI9ldS5_kDQ

I’ve seen Breaking Bad, so this should be fun.

P.S. You seem to have copied your message twice instead of putting your YouTube link.

I have brewed on the road one winter in Arizona when I made 5 kegs of beer in our campground and served most of it and bottled some as well. I can send you photos and tips I have discovered. I have a fifth wheel unit Cedar Creek 34 sats

Interesting. I shall check it out since the wife and I tour the country in our 5-er brewery hopping with the puppies.......

Okay here we go. I did the rv brewing one winter and took pre-milled grain in a ready made kit in a bag for each planned batch. I had the local water company send me their water analysis and I planned my water around that report. Some batches were all RV resort water while others used purchased RO water with additions by me to make the water needed. I took a burner, a cooler mash tun and a keggle. I used plastic brew pails as my fermenters and used 1 inch foam covered in aluminum foil to duct tape a fermenter chamber in part of a bay. I used a controller and Rhino heaters to maintain the temperatures because it cools down at night in Arizona. I take kegs and a plate chiller with me so I took a bottling tube that goes into the tap to fill the bottles. A bottle rinser pump for sanitizing bottles was used with Star San and of course I had a capper with me. Brewing beer in a campground attracts many people as spectators and then active helpers real fast. We brewed 5 kegs that winter and I took about 3.5 kegs worth with me south from Canada. The extra propane tank and the burner road down in the back of the truck roped to the flow through tailgate and I also had the 5 pound CO2 system in a milk crate. Everyone liked the products and if you want any RV road recipes email me. Good luck and have fun. I can also send you photos if you wish.
