Kitchen Brewer | Stove Top Brewing | Home Brew Beer with The Malt Miller

Stove top brewing is a great way to make 1 gallon/5 Litres of tasty craft beer at home. That's why we've launched our range of "Kitchen Brewer" recipe kits and equipment bundles.

For some, brewing 20lt batches just isn't practical but most people can easily accommodate the equipment and space to brew these pint size batches!

Glad to see someone else using Gü pots for weighing out hops!

Absolutely first class video!
I have been brewing all grain for quite a few years now but I think this video was excellent in helping new brewers understand the process.👍👍👍

[lafamillecarrington]

Some really helpful tips - I've never seen anyone suggest squeezing the bottle before sealing (not many brewers using plastic bottles?), but it makes so much sense!

Great video, even though i've been brewing BiaB for nearly 10 years and knew all this it was still good viewing and will certainly help newbies :)

Great video
Excellent explanation

Will be purchasing from the malt miller

Great vid, I did one similar a few years ago, I think it is perfect for someone who wants to make beer at home but doesn't really know where to start and the results from google give so many conflicting answer.

Really helpful video, thanks! First time brewing one of your kits and I’ve started with Hoppy Boi. The instructions for that don’t mention priming sugar when bottling but based on this video (and experience) I assume that’s still needed?

As an American I appreciate the enthusiasm over our style, but if you can give a suggestion for a solid English ESB, real ale, or barley wine I'm here for it! I've brewed a handful of times but this is a nice little refresher on the science behind it, keep up the good work!

How much extra water do I need to start with for the 5 litre kit?

[skeltaskib]

You mention heating to 66c. I've seen people say to make the strike water hotter (70c) to allow for the grain changing the temperature when it hits the water. Is that something worth doing or no need? Thanks

[brymills]

Arggghhh!! I should have bought this instead of a GF30, which I find a bit of a pain. Now I’ve had to buy this kit as well!

[indiekiduk]

What a fun video! A 1/3 camden tablet and a drop of lactic acid would make a huge improvement in taste for those brewing in the UK! Also 1/5 of the packet of yeast is enough, I used keep a tally written on the packet.

Can I use a demijohn instead of a 5 litre bucket? I recon it’ll hold 4 litres water with room for fermentation. Can I start with 8 litres water for the wort? I have a siphon to get the beer out after fermentation, so everything else is fine.

[RecipeswithBen]

Two things that I think would help. 1) you could use a colander over the kettle and place the grain bag over it so it can drip back into the kettle if you have one that is a similar size. 2) I think for a small batch like this if people like brewing you should have small keg as the fermenter over a plastic bucket because if they like the hobby a small keg is more future proof and who doesn't like tap beer over bottling.

How did you manage to get 10 bottles out of the fermenter? From my Pallisade brew following the instructions exactly I only got just over 8?

[Benis]

Why do you add 9L of water if its only a 5L batch?

[SamMc]

Great vid, awesome that you're now doing 5l recipe kits! Only question, do you not get suck back when chucking the fermenter straight in the fridge for cold crash? Cheers

[andywillis]

Just purchased the Cali Common do I need 9 litres of water for mash for this? My calcs are coming in around 8 litres.

[phukyuandahorseyourodeinon]

I'm really looking to get back into brewing after a LONG lay off and have done small batch all grain before, really interested in the package you guys are doing and been looking through the kit instructions to try and re-familiarise myself with the process!!

One question- do you not need to sparge at all with these kits? Could you for eg mash in 7L of water then sparge with 2? Or won't it matter?

Cheers!!

Agree totally with previous comment. I've been eyeing this 12LTR boil kettle. Perfect for my needs -- 5LTR batch is a sweet spot for me. Tak questions:
* Id like the bag to be bit bigger so it can be wrapped around the kettle.
* Does the fermentor have enough headspace to accomodate a vigorous fermentation/krausen?

I'm based in Mumbai (though currently work in Kuala Lumpur). Do you ship to Mumbai?
