I’ve been brewing in various apartments since 2016, and in this video I thought I would share with you some of the tips and techniques I’ve learned for how to brew in apartments and other tight or rented spaces. It is in my channel name after all!

Really loved the info! Fun Fact in Los Angeles refrigerators are typically not included in apartments. However I still wouldn’t drill holes into my primary fridge haha. I have a balcony and am debating on getting a little cooler and turning it into a jockey box for out there when I have guests.
Former full grain brewer who moved back to extract after years. I think there is an unfortunate misconception that extract brewing is inferior (head retention nonsense, etc). You can design amazing beers using extract in an apartment setup, and it allows you to focus on the fermentation process more than the mash. That improves your outcome dramatically! We push new brewers into all grain before they master the basics imo.
I don’t believe I said anything negative about extract brewing in this video. Extract is a great space saver and I agree you can make some great extract beers. I disagree about pushing people into all grain quickly though. Not only does it save you money but allows you to tailor your grist and color so much more than extract and I really think that valuable.
@@TheApartmentBrewer Didn’t mean to insinuate that you said anything negative about extract. Sorry if it came across that way. I’ll counter on the color issue though, steeping with one or more side pots can give you a wide range of color variations and complexity.
Unless I missed it, I think that it would be really cool if you had a section as part of your intro that talks a bit about the beer you have on-hand and what went into making it!
How do you deal with the steam that is produced from boiling? Trying to figure out my best option to brew in my basement without destroying the ceiling with condensation over time
Back when I lived in this apartment I just kept the windows open and ran a fan, but when I moved into my basement setup I used a hood to ventilate and haven’t looked back.
Yeah I started off with a couple brew kits, two five gallon buckets and all that. Let me tell you a standard stove top will NOT boil 5 gallons of liquid at once, especially when you’re extracting from grain. Just to get a slow rolling boil I turned it all the way up and ended up scorching the bottom of the brew. It all finished nicely but had an overwhelmingly burnt taste. I should have known just boil less water and add in more later
