Ep.113 - Development Brew Day on the 'Not-A-Clawhammer' trial kit.

We begin development of a new beer!
Taking the Murgy Straight grain bill up to 5% abv, but experimenting with a different hop combination. Packaging and taste testing with friends coming up in the next videos.

A closer look at my old homebrew kit, based on the @ClawhammerSupply system.
You should definitely buy from them if you are located in the United States.
It's 120V only and don't be tempted by the 240V version if you are in Europe. It will not work here. They sell other fantastic gear too, go take a look.
And no, this is not a sponsored message. We just like the cut of their jib.

Our DIY 'Poorhammer' kit is now our pilot setup and can easily produce 30-50 litre test batches.

See you at the taste test soon....

PS - Getting some dislikes for this video. That's very unusual. If you're minded to give me the thumbs down, maybe send a comment to explain. Cheers.

Great vid, love a behind the scenes of a man in a shed on his brew day in your case on a larger scale 🍻 I'm only down the road from you & I've been keeping my eye out locally for your beers 👍

[AceTeale]

What a nice relaxing video, looking forward to the taster video... Hoping you have a great new

Hi, have you done a video on brewing lager? Thanks!

[geir.mathello]

Nice brew and you must have a nice Christmas and a happy New Year. Best regards from Norway.. Cheers

I absolutely love Amarillo and mosaic. Brewing my old school citra and mosaic ipa under pressure next. My old old favourite beer I brewed, one of the first all grain brews I brewed but only ever done it in a bucket so it will be interesting to see what pressure fermenting brings to the party. Looks promising cheers 👍🍻

Good that youve been sticking to a core of 4 beers...ive seen a couple of breweries in recent times on the IOM producing far too many ales and its back fired on them and gone under. Cheers Andy👍🍺

Can’t beat a bit of Mosaic and Amarillo think this is going to be a great new addition to the range.

Where do you get the hoses? Been looking for high temp food safe.

[indiekiduk]

What about Camden tablets and lactic acid?

[toonland]

I have a very similar set up and usually go for around 40 litres. From start to finish how long did it take?

[cjibbo]

Let me know when you need a tester, i am willing to take the hit, even for a dry January. 😊

I was inspired by your video and 'built' my own 'poorhammer supply' system. I got an Einbrew 1v1p controller, a 35L kettle with a 2.5kW heating element, and a magnetic pump. I have since upgraded the kettle to a 50L one with a 3.2kW element. I'm now thinking about the pros and cons of taking the plunge and starting a nano brewery. As always, thanks for sharing.
