Not sure I've seen Lauren so excited. She may have found her niche!! Lol Laurens new channel "All seltzer all the time" Cheers you 2!! 👍🍻

I think this is genuinely the most excited I’ve seen Lauren get in these episodes

I've been doing basically this since i started homebrewing a few months ago, but using herbal tea as flavouring. Basically i make sweet tea, add yeast (baker's yeast actually :p), put it in a 5 liter jug to ferment and bottle it 10-20 days later. I've been doing mostly rooibos and hibiscus tea which turns out great. You can get a nice watermelon taste from it actually, which is surprising but really delicious :)

Also a great way to get into homebrewing and learn the basics (especially everything relating to cleanliness and bottling), without worrying too much about all the intricacies of beer brewing, and also not feel like you wasted too much money if it does fail, since it's just sugar and tea :)

great video and perfect timing. was looking to brew a hard seltzer, and was looking for a company that sold extracts. I didn't realize that Olive Nation is only 10 miles from my house.

Great video as usual! Checkout HB4L video on seltzer. You guys should do a collab.

Gotta admit I’m not much of a bubbly water fan in the seltzer form but I’d give the homebrewed version a try with flavor enhancers for sure. Nice video 👍🏻

Mmmm, might finally brew something my Mrs will drink 😆😎 Cheers Martin 🍻

[HopsANDgnarly]

Looks fun! The only thing I haven’t been able to get over yet is after you make it you have to drink it. Cheers Martin! 🍻

I searched the comments and looked through the description but couldn’t seem to find what the last olivenation flavor was. They have multiple mints to choose from and if one is a dead ringer for mint chip ice cream I want that one! Hopefully you see this and can fill me in.

little trick so you don't foam out, make sure the tap is higher than the keg when dispensing.

Thank you even before seeing the video

[Barprints]

Super informative! I cheat and use a soda siphon. I know its not "true" hard seltzer, but its great in a pinch! 😉

[jamesleehunter]

i think you might have differnt types of olive nation extracts there

[mikehalls]

Very good, we had prohibition here in South Africa during lockdown and I brewed a hard seltzer using only supermarket ingredients. Came out ok, but not as clear as your due to the bakers yeast or the fresh lemon juice perhaps!!

[DerBjjjg]

I tried hard seltzer for the first time yesterday. And actually I was going into it thinking it would be bad. But I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Especially for summer it could be a great drink.

[CiaranMartin]

Such a fun Video totally doing this at a party 🎉

[kyler]

Just ordered some olive nation for a seltzer

[javierchirinos]

I've used Brewer's best flavoring for meads, I wonder how this stacks up to it

[cheekysaver]

My first thought when you shot the pumpkin spice in the drink.... ohhhh a "the strain" drink. Then you tasted it and I laughed.

Been waiting to try this and actually bought some extracts from Olive Nation before I even saw your video on the topic. I wonder if anyone who kegs has found a good ballpark amount of extract to add to a five gallon batch in a keg?
