Thing looks like a golf cart.
What's going on! Figure I'd do a quick
little video to show off the current
setup i have for brewing one to two gallon
batches of beer on my stove.
I tried to keep costs as minimal as
possible, so i ordered a couple things
off Amazon, i got Walmart, Princess Auto
and the Kelowna Brew store as well. To start
things off I got a $20-$25 pail from Princess Auto.
It's Stainless steel and I drilled a bunch of
holes in the bottom. I got a couple big
ones and a few smaller ones.
The purpose of this, this is going to go
into my boil kettle. Grains are going to
go inside and then when i am ready to
mash out and sparge, I just lift the whole
pail out and it can drain over top of
my kettle and all the wort can drain
leaving all the grains in the bucket for
me to dump later. With these holes some of
the grain does fall through, so what I
did do is I ordered a pizza plate off of
Amazon, for like three bucks. I wish it
was stainless steel but it's aluminum
but I put this inside the pail, like
that. It helps the wort filter through a
little bit better without as much grain
going through. I had a little bit of grain come
out and make it into the kettle, 
in the brew I did last night, so it's
not perfect but for me it's doable and
just strain out the grain is the kettle
for now and this is a work in progress.
next up I got a, I forget how big this
thing is, i got this stock pot from
Walmart. i got on sale for 40 bucks so
can't go wrong there.
I had this laying around the house so it
does the trick. I would like to get
stainless steel just to keep everything
looking classy but for now it does the
job and inside I have what's called a
bazooka screen, mesh screen,
bazooka screen. Bazooka is the only word I know.
Anyways, I got this from KelownaBrew.oom. 
It's a 12-inch so it's a
little bit too big for this pot but I
just bent it and it works it great
All i do is, i don't know if you can see
this but, I just unscrew it, clean it,
screw it back in, and i'm good to go. so basically what i do is i actually fill this thing
up with three gallons of water, bring it
up to my mash in temperature, fill my pail
up with grains and plop it in like that
nothing pretty but it does the trick. I
can stir around and do my thing,
put the lid on and try to maintain a
temperature. wWhen i am ready to mash
out, i have a little baking sheet here. So then we lift this up
put the rack there and sit the pail. So then all the wort can drain through and into the
kettle, leaving as minimal as possible
grain residue. One of the things i do
wish i had was, have a hose going from
here to a pump and then recirculating.
This way so I can i get a nice sparge. I
can recirculate. Right now all I do is I
just fill up a big measuring cup and I
do it by hand
it sucks but for now it's doable and
it's doing the trick so can't complain
basically this whole setup costs me
under hundred dollars and I can do
one gallon batches, I can
do two gallon batches. I did do the other
day about three-and-a-half because I
think I screwed up something up
with the grain I added in. It was really strong so I had to water it down, but I managed to get
three and a half gallon batch out of this.
quite happy with it like i said before
there's a couple things that I want to
improve on first thing being a pump down
road try to get a better screen in the
grain pale
I guess we would call it. To reduce as much grain falling through into the kettle
Until then I just scoop it out with the
screen. It does the trick.
So to end things up, kind of the goal
of this channel is I want to do 99
different beers
and perfect the recipe i want to
document the brew day the whole process
recipe and then to follow-up I want to
do a tasting. try to get it with another
person a friend and I get some honest
feedback get some criticism on the beer
recipe i can fine-tune it and hopefully
by the end of all this whole long it
takes I have 99 perfect brew recipes  for 2
gallon batches. we'll see where goes
