Back in September, my friend Dan and his girlfriend Holly came over to the Untamed Brewery to shoot a brew day using his fancy-pants HD video camera and one of those fuzzy boom mics. Lord was also with us to assist.
It also happened to be National Bacon Day, so we had legendary BLTs for lunch. It was a fun day.
It’s funny to looking back at my brewing process from just five months ago. It’s amazing how much more I’ve learned since then and how a few new toys have made brewing much easier. Namely, getting a 10-gallon water cooler which I use for a real mash tun. It makes a huge difference.
I do think this is a pretty good overview and illustration of the all-grain brewing process, but it was never intended to be an instructional video. It was just to show how I did things, the Untamed Way. In fact, there were several points in the video where I just shook my head and muttered, “Oh, September Brian, what are you doing?”
So if you disagree with my methods or what I’m saying, or if what I’ve said is completely wrong, I’m not surprised. I never claimed to be perfect, especially not back in September!
PS, if you don’t want to sit through all 3 parts, fast forward to about the 8:30 mark of part 3. We get a little silly.
I think the important thing to notice in the first minute of the video is the lack of mustache on the Lord. He looks down right presentable.
I only did home brewing once from a kit and even with that I learned a great deal from the process. I’m hoping to get more involved in home brewing myself as time and $ allow, but I’m going to check out these videos to see the process. Thanks for posting them!
That was totally enjoyable. Demystified the process for me. Thanks!
