So I decided to document my day brewing a Belgian Saison through the magic of video.
You can check out all 16 videos here that go through the different steps involved in the all-grain brewing process (I spared everyone the ridiculous amounts of sanitization). I numbered each video so it’s easier to view them in order. In total, it’s about 20 minutes of homebrewing fun.
Here’s four videos from the collection, showing different stages in the process:
The Mash
The Sparge
Adding the Hops
Cooling and Racking

Thanks, it was kind of fun making them, but a little difficult at times doing most of it on my own. I’m going to try and incorporate more of this kind of stuff into the blog moving forward, make it more visually interesting.
What are you planning to make next?

[…] I brewed my Belgian Saison about a month ago, and from the moment I racked to the primary and pitched the yeast, I felt good things about this one. I used a combination of pilsner malt, Munich, flaked barley, wheat and Belgian candi sugar with a healthy dose of Saaz, East Kent Goldings, and Northern hops. To make it interesting, I also tossed in a bit of coriander, star anise, dried orange zest and grains of paradise. Wyeast 1214 really makes this the beer that it is, giving it the perfect Belgian yeastiness and fruity ester that has resulted in probably one of my best beers ever. […]
