In this video you will learn step-by-step how to brew your own beer on brew day. I brew a 5 gallon all grain batch of beer, using a mash tun and batch sparge method. I cover everything from start to finish, beginning with milling grains/malt, go through the mash rest and sparging details, recirculation (called vorlaufing) of your wort, the entire boil process with hop additions, cooling your wort, all the way to pitching the yeast in the fermenter.

In this video I brew Bell's Oberon American Wheat Ale, using the brewery's own recipe from their website. You can actually buy their home brewing kits, or find the recipe and instructions at:

OR

Here is the recipe:
Grains:
2-Row 6.0 lbs. (50%)
White Wheat Malt 5.0 lbs (41.6%)
Munich Malt 0.5 lbs (4.2%)
CaraPils Malt 0.5 lbs. (4.2%)

Mash Thickness 1.33
Mash Temp: 150F

Hops:
Perle Hops 1 oz. 60 mins
Hersbrucker Hops 1 oz. 30 mins
Saaz Hops 2 oz. Flameout

Yeast:
Imperial A62(Bell's House Yeast) that you have to buy from their website above - OR -
I show you how to harvest yeast from their bottles in this video:    • Harvest Yeast from Commercial Beer - ...  

Alternatively, you can use clean ale yeasts like Safale US-04, Safale US-05, White Labs WLP001 or even an American Wheat Ale such as Wyeast American Wheat 1010, (don't use other wheat yeasts like a hefeweizen because you will get banana/clove flavors which is not found in Oberon). I HIGHLY recommend using their yeast if you can, using the harvesting method above. It is easy and fun, and more importantly, free with a 6 pack of bottles!

Fermentation Temp: 68-72 (I like to be on the cooler side at 68-69)

Target Numbers:
OG - 1.056
FG - 1.012
ABV 5.8%
SRM 25.7
IBU 40.9
