in this video i'm going to show you how
to brew your first batch of extract
homebrew beer
using clawhammer supply's starter brew
system
on a stove top
Giddy Up
the first thing we'll do is fill our
kettle up with 2-3 gallons of water
tap will work spring is better then
we'll transfer the kettle to
a stove top and heat to 155 degrees
while that's heating up we'll take our
yeast out of the refrigerator
dry yeast is good liquid yeast is better
once we've reached mash temp we lower
the heat and add our grain
basket we'll add half a pound of crystal
150
and half a pound of chocolate malt the
grain will come with a cheesecloth
but you don't need it you can just dump
the grain right into
the basket
next set a timer for 30 minutes
try to maintain the 155 degree mash
temperature
and whatever you do don't let the temp
exceed 175
after the mash elevate the grain basket
and allow it to drain for five minutes
once that's complete take the grain
basket out put your kettle back on the
stove
and crank the heat up to high we're
aiming for a boil
while it's heating up go ahead and dump
your grains
clean the grain basket off because we'll
be using it later
once you've reached a boil turn the heat
completely off and
add your brewer's best amber
extract stir constantly
while you're adding the extract you
don't want to scorch
after that add the dry malt extract
turn the heat back up to resume the boil
but be very careful at this point
you don't want the kettle to boil over
so keep a watchful eye
complete recipe details are on our
website
give that basket one last rinse and pop
it back into the kettle
once the boil starts set a timer for 55
minutes
just one note about the system we're
using here it is the starter system as
the name
implies but it's completely modular and
fully compatible
with our complete standalone digital
electric system
so if you start with this system and you
wish to upgrade you can do so at any
time by visiting our website
and purchasing the rest of the
components
the first edition of hops is one ounce
of east kent golding
and will be added at 45 minutes left in
the boil
while we're waiting for the next hop
edition let's get our star stan
solution ready
which will sanitize the fermentation
bucket the second hop addition is
another ounce of east kent goldings
and will be added at 10 minutes left in
the boil
once the boil is complete turn off the
heat pull the basket
and top the kettle off to 5 gallons with
cold
bottled water the goal is to drop the
temperature to 70 degrees for yeast
pitching
if adding the cold water doesn't drop
the kettle all the way down you'll need
to let it sit and cool
either outside if it's cold enough or in
a refrigerator if you have the space
once your wort is cold
rinse your fermentation bucket out with
star san
and transfer the contents of the kettle
into the bucket
the included ball valve on the starter
system makes this process easy
once the wort is cold i'm very careful
not to touch
anything that's going to come into
contact with the beer that
isn't sanitized so i recommend using
gloves at this point
and soaking everything you're using with
the star san this includes the yeast
packet
and the scissors you cut it open with
pitch the yeast
rinse your lid with star san
apply the lid and shake for at least
60 seconds to aerate the wort this will
make the yeast happy
once you're done with that add an
airlock
and place the bucket somewhere that will
maintain a temperature
of 65 to 72 for the next two weeks
at this point all that's left to do in
this brew day is clean the kettle
clean the basket
dry them and put them away
nice job i'm proud of you
