PAX East 2014 - The Brewening

As PAX East 2014 gets closer, I am once again preparing a handful of beers for this year's festivities. Those that know me know that I traditionally bring beers to the Giant Bomb panel at PAX East, and those beers are consumed throughout the panel. This year, I brewed three different beers - a super-secret beer for Patrick, a beer for Vinny, and a re-brew of last year's beer for Ryan.

Two of these beers got double batches for Max Temkin and the rest of the Cards Against Humanity crew.

During today's brew day, I put together this video for you all to enjoy! See you at PAX East!

Awesome video Andy, incredibly interesting.

I don't usually drink beer. But god willing, I will try yours good sir =]

This was fantastic. Great work!

Thanks Andy! I really enjoyed your past videos and this one is no different. I'll just sit here and be extra jealous of everyone heading to PAX East. Have fun!

wait...one can drink during the giant bomb panel?

well spank my ass and call me shit-faced.

Looks good, have 5 gallons of Hefeweizen bubbling away myself, should bottle it this week.

When's the beer podcast coming back? I really dug it.

Hope to be able to make it to PAX East one year to partake in GB brew.

Lovely as always, sir. Hope to see you PAX weekend.

Awesome, I have an Irish red and an imperial stout fermenting right now. Love the idea with the pump and circulating for all that extra sugar, may have to look into a setup like that. Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff Andy, can't wait to sample them in just a few short weeks.

I love all these pre-PAX blogs :D

Forever sad I'm not going to PAX... Looks amazing duder.

@billymagnumWell... not exactly.

@yothatlimp:Soon! Ben and I are re-tooling the whole idea, but we should be ramping up production soon.

@snoojis: Just wait until I finally move to electric. It's coming, just not in the budget right now.

Nice video! And the description on Vinny's beer sounds so good.

I love it! Those labels are fantastic too.

Amazing video, would drink all these beers

Great video duder

Love it! Are you gonna do more brewing videos on your YT channel?

Really interesting. A friend of mine brews his own beer as well and it's always interesting to see what he brews up next.

Can't wait to try some of these at PAX!

@mbr2: I probably will end up doing this, yes. One of the cool things about doing these videos is finding out where in my process the annoyances lie, and how I can go about fixing them. For example, yesterday's brew day was the first time I ever used the "continuous sparge" method - it's a well-documented technique (see any Brutus build for some info). I'm now looking at replacing my double burner with a single, more efficient "floor" style propane burner, and using a metal tool cart for the rest of my stand.

Really good video man. If you ever take a trip to Manchester, England I would swap you MY MOST FANCY OF BEERS for a Patr-IPA.

Great video! When do the orange peel and coriander come in to play?

@chumm: I tend to do that before I keg for stronger flavor. I may end up scrapping it based on taste tests because of the citrusy hops and the yeast strain I used.

Can't wait to see it at the panel!

Great video duder. Not a beer drinker myself but would be down to try one of these. Labels look great keep up the good work!

I love this video. Thanks for making it. Do you or anyone else have a good suggestion for homebrewing youtube channel or sites worth checking out?

@aquacadet: www.homebrewtalk.com is a life saver.

This is awesome! Homebrewing and PAX/Giantbomb/CAH! Some of my favorite things!

I'm gonna drink this WHAT? That's a coffee?

Better stick with dat Beer. Greetings from Germany, where every Hefeweizen is delicious.

@s3v3n: Coffee porter - it's definitely beer.

Great to see another homebrewer on GB. Let's see some recipes!

@aquacadet: Brewing TV and Chop & Brew are both great!
