This is the second of a four part series on how to easily brew your own oatmeal stout from a Midwest Supplies extract kit. Join me in this second part of the series as we go through these steps in the brewing process: correctly mixing in your malt extract, safely bringing your wort to a full boil, adding your hops, and adding in your fining agent at the end of the boil. It’s also important to remember that I brew my beer in a rather small apartment–so it is true that just about anyone with any space can brew their own delicious home brewed beer! If you have a few extra square feet, you can brew your own beer easily and affordably. All original music composed by Joseph Williams.

    @faroutadventures Thanks! It will probably be a little while until I do a full all-grain brew–but I’m really looking forward to tasting it! Cheers!

    I just saw your all grain haul, birthday present video. Super. Can’t wait to see the results from your all grain brewing. Best too you!!

    @faroutadventures Thanks for the kind words! I try to share any tips I’ve discovered–hopefully they help other brewers out! I actually just acquired a haul of AG equipment, so I do plan on giving it a whirl. I don’t think I’ll give up extract brewing 100% though–I’ve made many great beers from it, and the convenience can’t be beat. I like that you can control everything with AG, but with that comes great responsibility–you definitely need to know what’s you’re doing.

    Thanks. Excellent videos!!

    Great video. Best one I’ve seen on adding hops. Very informative, straight to the point. You get the job done. Fantastic. I think you and CraigTube have the best brewing videos. Keep up the good work. Are you going to do “All Grain”. ? What are your thought s on all grain? It looks like you are having excellent results without goiing to all grain. I’m interested in your opinion …………Thanks, Chuck

    @faroutadventures It’s actually a 5 gallon pot–but you have fill it all the way up to the very top to get that much in. I can only really do a 4 gallon maximum boil–but the boilover risk makes me sweat it!

  8. faroutadventures 10. Jul, 2010 at 11:51 pm #

    Is that a 3 gallon pot?

    @up2dogs Thanks! I try to show folks what I do so it might help them or show them a different way of doing stuff. I’m happy to hear I was helpful! Cheers!

    @mixmmick No worries! :-) The specialty grains that came with this kit in addition to the 1/2 gallon of dark liquid malt extract were: 8 oz rolled oats, 4 oz chocolate malt, 4 oz roasted barley (medium dark I believe).

  12. mixmmick 11. Jul, 2010 at 1:52 am #

    hey joe, just wondering, what sought of specialty grains were included in the kit?

  13. terpsichoreankid 11. Jul, 2010 at 2:11 am #

    @oaney lol ah–you know, just had to ham it up for the camera because stirring the pot was so darn interesting… :-) Cheers!

    lol, what were you going to say at 2:08, haha

    Awesome man–can’t wait to hear how it turns out!

    Ok Joe I got my Oatmeal Stout in the bucket. I got a hydrometer reading of 1.031 hope im in the ballpark. Now we wait!!!! thanks Joe

    No worries–always feel free to ask questions! The pot I used is 20 quarts (5 gallons). I wound up boiling around 4 gallons or so because the maximum capacity of the pot was 5 gallons–so if you fill it to the top, there is a very high risk of boil overs both at the start of the boil as well as when you add your hops. If I had a bigger pot, I would probably boil a full 5 gal. to get the maximum hop utilization–but for the most part, boiling about 4 gallons has worked out great! Cheers!

    How big is that pot you are using? why did you decide not to do the full 5gal? beginner questions sorry

    Tell me about it! :-) I actually had a close call with my previous brew (the Irish Stout) and so this time around, I was armed and ready for the madness!

  20. Imasofat 11. Jul, 2010 at 5:12 am #

    Man, you weren’t kidding about the instant froth when you added the hops. The spray was a good idea to keep close!

    Thanks!
