Home Brew BP
I have watched the YouTube channel he mentioned, Everything Black Powder for awhile now. I like the host, he’s very straightforward and doesn’t seem to hold back any secrets on what ratios he uses and his various methods. If you were to watch one of his later videos, he’d probably lose you if you don’t already make black powder or haven’t watched his earlier ‘how to’ videos. He doesn’t go over much of the how but does give the ‘what’ when talking about new ratios or carbon sources. I think he uses Swiss or Goex as his baseline on how fast and clean his home made powders are. He has had some interesting videos on using different charcoal sources and how they affect the performance.
I would love to make my own BP but have neither the time or space to devote to it at present.
Here is a link to his channel (I think)
