The “additive” is all natural Irish moss. It is no more harmful or un-natural than the yeast used. You should try it some time! it ensures a clearer beer. I used it in one brew and the beer came out crystal clear, so I use it in every beer now. Great video! I have yet to make an AG batch, I do partial mashes. I moved to Europe and now live in an apartment. Still enough room to brew but AG would be tight.
Perhaps first start with a malt extract kit. That’s even easier: boil the extract with water to make the wort. Chill it, and let it ferment.
Then, do second fermentation in the bottle (or keg).
Very easy to do. And when you keep things sanitized it can’t go wrong.
They are using MALTED barley, aka malt, which is barley that has been allowed to start germinating and then dried. They are doing all grain brewing in this video, which is about a 5-6 hour process (not counting time to ferment and then bottle condition) versus a 3 to 3.5 hour process when malt extract (liquid or dried) is used, as the mashing step (basically soaking then rinsing the grain) is bypassed. I have been homebrewing (usign extract) for a year; a great hobby and not that difficult.
In brewing, the word “malt” is short for malted barley. In this video, we use “all grain” malt, just like a commercial craft brewery would, however, this approach does take a few more steps. Most beginners will find it simpler and less frustrating to start out brewing with malt extract, which is available as a powder or a syrup. Once you get the hang of it, try all-grain – the difference in taste is similar to the difference in instant coffee compared to freshly ground coffee. Good luck!
Can someone explain me why they don’t use malt to do the brewing ???? alot of the other videos use malt and sugar while they are boiling, is it because the grains contained both.
Awesome!
Loved the video guys…. the old fashioned look and audio was perfect…. informative and entertainling =]
@ERICMCKAY9 dont listen to this dick hole, we need more 40s propaganda brewing videos.
Good job guys! Always great to see people brewing, no matter how they do it, as long as one ends up with a great tasting beer in the end! Cheers guys!
Love the retro promo movie voice over! Fantastic!
Cinematographers you may not be but I think you guys were out to take the piss here – well done, it’s informative and entertaining.
this is a great video, great looking brews too!

Pros:
Brewing from base resources (not from extracts).
Funny.
Nice looking beer.
A quite nice overview about the brewing process.
Cons:
Bad quality (did you have broken camera?)
Additives to the beer(2:32).
Boys, as the homebrewer i can say – thanks for this video.
Xaint, homebrewer from Czech Republic
Ha! Wasn’t exactly on purpose…we’re brewers, not cinematographers.
I hate that someone would purposefully make their video look that bad. This video should have been about information, not entertainment.
Very nice!
I’ve been considering doing some home brewing. This video was cool and helpful.
Do you recommend anywhere I could purchase all the supplies I need? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I just filled my first keg using their method! It taste fantastic!!
What a good video,I did not like the picture quality. Perhaps without the effects and a little more hires. Other than that I really liked it
OR go to your local beer store
