New brewing show: The Guinness Guys Episode 1

DMcGirr — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:44:58 +0000

Welcome to the first episode of a new beer drinking show [What other kind do I make?] The Guinness Guys.

Recently my brother Eamon and I have been on a quest to find the best pint of black and tan in Donegal Town. We were talking to a barman in Donegal town recently who pulled up the Wikipedia page for Black and Tan and we became aware of several other half-Guinness-draught cocktails. The “Black and _________ ” phenomenon seems to run the gamut from dark ale through to wheat beer and even cider.

A few days later Eamon and I made this, the first episode of The Guinness Guys.

Thank you all for watching.

So the results of the beer poll are in and we’re making the Canadian Blonde. In part one of this short series we demonstrate a new technique in sanitizing and take a different approach to mixing the ingredients.

In part two where we demonstrate the use of hydrometer, we pitch yeast, and we see what your beer should look like after 24 hours. Click through for that video after the jump.

Thank you all for watching. I’ve been keeping up on these videos recently, but I’ve been slacking on the blog. I’m going to write some more in depth stuff here soon.

The Mad Carpenter Brews: First Vlog

DMcGirr — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 10:35:43 +0000

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the first video from the Mr Mad Carpenter youtube channel.

I’ve often thought about vlogging and video work, so I figured there was no time like the present. I am already brewing beer, so I have a subject matter close to my heart that I can take a few extra minutes to get a little footage of the process. I’ve got several ideas for strands or different shows on the channel, so keep an eye out for those in the coming weeks.

Comment, like, subscribe and favourite. All these things help me get more of the four things I just mentioned which helps me grow the channel.

Here’s the video.

And to any of the new people that have come to this website from the youtube channel: Welcome! There is much beer brewing and beer tasting to come.
