Homebrew beer, the basics of home beer brewing.
The step by step process I use to brew malt extract recipe beer. This is a great video to watch if you’re brewing for the first time, or want to know more about how to home brew. Teach everyone what makes a good craft beer!

You don’t have to …
You don’t have to be quite as concerned about bacteria in your hops when you’re dry hopping as hops are a natural preservative. But when you’re “dryhopping” you’re actually adding fresh hops to either the primary or SECONDARY fermenter. Leaving the hops in the wort after you’ve added them to the boil (even if it’s just for the last 2 minutes) isn’t really considered dryhopping…
Straining out that stuff is fine, but leaving some of those hops in there isn’t going to hurt anybody!

I use a strainer most of the time, but the key is that you’ve cleaned it and soaked it in sanitizer. Using cheese cloth and boiling it in the wort is perfect- but remember that when you’re putting it in the primary fermenter you’ve hopefully chilled it at that point and a non-sterile strainer is is just loaded with bacteria!

I had photos and video from about 2 years of brewing- so it’s hard to say. What you see at the beginning was an IPA boiling, and at the end was an Oatmeal Stout, those are probably my favorites. (don’t have my own label yet if that’s what you’re asking)

You could strain it with a cheese cloth when you are adding it to the primary fermenter or you could just use a molsen hop sack to boil your hops in initially.

you can use a strainer when you pour it into your carboy bucket, etc. They are pretty clumpy and make great compost once you get them out. What style beer are you going for?

if i dont want to dry hop, is it necessary to remove my initial bitter/aroma hops during the fermentation process? if so, how do i remove the hops? with some kind of filter?..

Now just look at what all that preparing of beer looks like to the perspective of those bastards who prohibited alcohol…like a meth lab.
Now look what we have today with mj….
People are just as stupid…they think it’s scary or something.

I think there are ways to measure the EtOH content after fermentation. I know in wine making there is an instrument called an Ubliometer (might be spelled with an “O”), it measures the alcohol content by detecting the boiling point depression. Water boils at 212, alcohol boils at less, and when they are mixed (beer) it boils somewhere in-between. You can use that info to figure out alcohol content. Or you can send it to a lab. Hopefully this helps!

The point of brewing isn’t just making as much alcohol as possible.

Holy smokes the hydrometer reading at time 4:52 says 1.070 and that means 10% alcohol beer! Why stop at 5% if you can make 10%. Uses wine yeast and you can get 18% if you add enough sugar.
