DIY HomeBrew Cooper's Irish Stout Recipe Making and Taste Testing [Cooper's Irish Stout Home-brew]. This one is an estimated 5%. Great tasting. I like it better than guiness. I’ve had a couple stouts that are just outstanding. This one really has a nice sweeter taste to it. I was really surprised on how this one turned out. It has some wonderful notes of coffee and just a hint of licorice coupled with it’s nice and roasted smokey profile. It is a fully bodied beer with a smooth and creamy soft mouthfeel with moderate carbonation (but more than expected). As you can see from the video the sun has a hard time penetrating through the glass of the fine black stout thanks to the roasted barley. I can’t take full credit for making it as I purchased all of the ingredient. It was just a matter of putting them together correctly and waiting. It has a slight aroma of graininess and smoke. This batch turned out without any harsh characteristics or one characteristic overpowering the other, rather, just a nice enjoyable pleasant mix of all. The froth and creaminess of this stout seems to balance it all out and bring it all together. This beer is Vegan, however, I’m not sure if it’s necessarily Gluten free. No animals were killed during the brewing of this beer. The question gets asked sometimes, “Is Stout Good For you?”. It’s allegedly full of antioxidants and flavonoids which are the same thing that give fruits and veggies their dark color. Getting these anti-oxidants into your system is great for your heart and what a better way to do it than a tall glass of this nice home brewed delicious stout. Antioxidants are molecules that neutralise free radicals – unstable molecules that can harm your cells. We usually find them in foods such as raspberries, kale and artichokes – amidst many other fruits, vegetables and nuts. The health benefits associated with a diet packed with plants are at least partially due to the variety of antioxidants they provide your body! It’s been said that this will slow down the deposits of cholesterol on artery walls reducing risk of heart attacks. Stouts also generally have less calories per serving than other lighter beers!

Ordered my Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweizen home brew kit from amazon. I'll post the link below This turned out really nice and was super easy to make. The kit comes with a nice set of directions. I used my Cooper's DIY Beer fermenter once the boiling and cooling processes were done.



The steps are super simple simple:



1. In your brewpot, bring 2.5 gallons filtered water to a boil

2. Add half of the wheat malt syrup (approx. half of 6lb. container)

3. Remove from heat and stir it in

4. You now have wort. Bring it to a boil again

5. Add the 1oz of German Tettnang hops and boil for 60 minutes

6. Add the remainder of the 3lbs of wheat malt syrup and add the 1lb of dry malt extract

7. Cool the wort.

8. Once cool, (siphon) add wort to fermenter leaving sludge at bottom

9. Fill remainder of fermenter (to 5 gallon mark) with water

10. Pitch yeast and add to wort once temp is 78F or lower (not warm to touch)

11. Let sit in fermenter for 2 weeks then bottle using priming sugar or carbonation drops

12. Let sit in bottle for 3-4 weeks.

13. Refrigerate for 1 day and then enjoy.

Follow along step by step during the video.  DIY Home Brew | English Brown Ale | Craft Beer Recipe Kit | Brewing to Taste Test. This turned out really good and got better after 3 to 4 weeks.
The first step was pouring about 2.5 to 3 gallons of filtered water into my brewpot. This brew kit came with grains to steep and make the wort as well as liquid malt extract and dried malt extract. The grains must be steeped in the brewpot. Once you steep them, much like tea, don't squeeze the grain bag after steeping, rather just let it drain. This is what make the wonderful wort. Now bring the wort to a rolling boil and add the liquid malt extract, the aromatic hops and the dried malt extract. Boil it for around and hour then cool it down as quickly in an ice bath or use a wort chiller. Once cooled down I then added the wort to my fermenter and added filtered water to the 23L mark. I then added the yeast. Once the yeast is added the brewing is complete. Now I let it ferment for 2 weeks. Once the 2 weeks was up I bottled it. I mixed and added priming sugar to the fermented brew right before bottling. After bottling I let it sit in the bottle for minimum of two weeks. Before partaking, I placed in the refrigerator to chill.

DIY Home Brew: Northern Brewer | Dead Ringer India Pale Ale Kit

I ordered this awesome beer kit from amazon. In this DIY Home Brew: Northern Brewer | Dead Ringer India Pale Ale Kit video, I take you step by step through unboxing, brewing and taste testing. This was ready to drink in just over a month. The first thing I did was heat approx 2.5 gallons of filtered water to 155F or approx 68F. Then take the provided grains, pour them into the grain bag, tie off the grain bag and place it into the water once it reaches temp. Maintain that temperature, no higher and no lower (plus or minus a couple degrees), and let it steep for 20 to 30 minutes. Once 20 to 30 minutes has elapsed, pull out the grain bag and let drain over the newly created wort. Don't squeeze it. Then it's time to bring the wort to a slow rolling boil. Total boiling time will be 60 minutes. Once boiling add the liquid malt extract. and stir in well. While it's boiling I added cool filtered water to the fermenter. I then added hops at 10 minutes time intervals and stirred them in. Once 60 minutes in complete I transferred the wort immediately to an ice bath. Once completely cooled I transferred (siphoned) the wort to the fermenter and topped it off with some additional filtered water. I then added the yeast and shook it around a little. Then I installed the air lock and let the brew sit for a couple weeks in a dark area. After a couple weeks I transferred it to a separate fermenter that was actually only used as a bottle filler and then mixed and added some hops and the priming sugar solution to give the brew carbonation. I then bottled it and let it sit for a couple weeks before sampling.

DIY Home Brew: Brewers Best Mosaic India Pale Ale Made In Kitchen-Super ...

This was a small batch home brew that I made and it turned out fantastic. The taste test in the video was done on the last half bottle that I bottled. It was so good that I'm saving it for a special occasion. Kind of like a vintage wine that you keep on the shelf. As us home brewers know, the beer does get better the longer it sits in the bottle, to an extent. This one was a home run. It takes a solid month or so to make but it goes by quickly especially if you have other brews that you are making. You won't even notice and it'll be ready before you know it. The mosaic hops that came with this beer kit really set this off. The flavor had depth and was quite moving. I knew it was going to be good once I sampled it off the fermenter just before bottling. It only got better with age and a little more carbonation. So to get started I made a homemade fermenter out of a filtered water bottle and an airlock with bung. I had to cut out a larger hole in the top of the  water bottle in order to make this work. I pulled out all the contents of the Brewers Best Mosaic IPA beer kit. The nice thing about this is that it came with specific easy to follow directions on how to make it. You will need a food thermometer if you are going to make beers like this. They are readily available for cheap so go grab one. Temperature is important when making beer so you need to pay attention to it for favorable consistent results. This whole home brewing thing is a blast and saves you money as well if you like to partake of brews once in awhile. The process is simple, make the wort, add the fermentable, cool it down quickly, siphon into fermenter, add yeast and wait a couple weeks. After a couple weeks it's ready to bottle. When it's bottling time (I just use reusable plastic bottles) then add two carbonation drops to each one and twist the cap on tight then let sit for a minimum of two weeks. The results are outstanding as well as very rewarding.
