I’ve made wine many times but, this is a first time for Beer. I’ll start simple and then try to come up with something of my own.

  2. 5 stars. Good lesson in brewing. Keep up the good work, although in this case I guess you won’t need too much encouragement? Cheers

  3. i once made my own wine from apples and strawberry, made the mistake of blending the apples instead of using just applejuice so it became a tad too bitter, but still very drinkable

    never made beer tho, beer takes less time but is a little trickier imo

  5. Yay!!! Another brewer. I love making beer, wine and heck other things we don’t speak about in public.;-) I make my beer out of dried hops this time of year so I’m sure yours will be fine. If you’re in Wisconsin in late summer you can come on over and pick your own hops from my river hops patch. Your brew looks good, let us know how good it goes down!

  8. May I ask why you used wine in the air lock??? I am very cheap I use ballons with a pin prick in it. Cant see the bubble goin but It works for my meads that I brew.

  9. Sounds great, honey sugar is one of the healthiest of sugars (in moderation)

  10. No special reason to use wine in the air lock, a guy I work with uses Everclear. I think the idea is that you don’t accidently introduce bacteria or bad yeast into the brew when you fill the air lock.

  11. Yea, I experimented with dandylion wine last year and it turned out bitter and lacked taste. I want to try to get this right before I experiment again.

  12. I havn’t tried apples and I didn’t know that whole apples can make a bitter brew. thanks for the info.

  13. Yea, wines are getting very expensive because of taxes and fruit shortages.

    Comment by Ghostkamo — February 21, 2010 @ 7:05 pm

  14. Thanks, yea the dried hops smelled really good, I just didn’t know the quality because they were pellets and I’m not familiar with using hops. Thanks for the input.

  16. Good stuff…very well explained, I don’t drink anymore myself but knowing how to make your own alcohol is a skill that you can barter with.
    Thanks for posting!

  23. @Edinburgstar, Hey thanks . . I’m always looking to learn new things.
    You’re right, those Habanero peppers can burn to the end . . literally. LOL
    I’ve been enjoying your vids, I really enjoy seeing the perspective of others and seeing new ways to approach skills.

  24. got to love a good beer, next time get a kit with no rice or corn and just malt barley, it will give the beer a better taste.

  25. I agree, I went cheap this time for a trial run but, I will go for a great beer next time.
