Brewing Video for New Home Brewers
For those of us that have yet to brew and want to know how, here is a video (in four parts) I'm not saying it's good or bad, since I'm so new to brewing, I don't know.
I do know that watching this, I don't want to do something I saw in the video that may be wrong.
It goes from starter yeast to fermenter.
Some of you more experienced brewers, it maybe helpful to point out mistakes, or other things us newbs should do at certain times while he is brewing his stout.

If you folks have any videos that are better, or that go on from here, please post the link, us newbs can't get enough of this stuff, well I can't anyway.

Thanks.
K i watched them, im still a newb at this stuff, I've never gone to that extent of brewing before and have only done it with malt extracts and hops. Which is better? It certainly looks like it's more time consuming and work not to mention a larger investment in equipment.
Those videos are pretty good. I like the guy, he's kinda goofy.
You might also check out BasicBrewing.com. They have pod and video casts that can be pretty informative. TheBrewingNetwork.com is another site that provides some good information.
If i wanted to start grain brewing, would this be the typical set up(the set up in these videos) i would need, how much would all this cost on average?
I just went all-grain. The cost of going from extract to all-grain was really only about $50 all-together. Do a search for cooler mash-tun and I"m sure you'll find plenty of ideas.
I plan on going to all grain after getting a couple batches brewed.
First a partial mash, then all grain. It looks like more work, or, fun if you
want to call it that.
Those guys in the video look like they had a pretty good time brewing their stout.
That's what I'm after, a good time with my buds.

Yep, you can easily assemble a cooler mash tun for under $50, less if you have an old cooler you can donate to the cause. You will need a pot that can handle boiling 6 gal or so of liquid, though. A turkey fryer works well, as does an old 15.5 gal keg.
does it require a lot of skill? i'm certainly limited in both skill and tools. Can you buy them prefabricated?
sure, I have to agree with what most people have said on this forum, you would be better
off getting a pot for deep frying a turkey and installing it, or paying a few bucks to get it installed yourself.
