Incidentally, the video appears to be back up. It seems to have been setup to go along with this article:
The video is obviously abbreviated.
That being said, my process is slightly different, but works for me. I do 10 gallons, so I typically start with ~2.5L using ~3/4 dry cup of DME per L (which should be about 100g). I don’t do nutrients, but do use 2 drops of fermcap. Boil for 10-15 minutes and cool. I just use foil and don’t bother with a stopper and airlock. Shake and agitate initially and then every few hours when I pass it.
After you have poured the yeast in with the shakin not stirred method, Does the lid remain loose or does it get screwed on tight? Does one put an airlock on it or a foam stopper?
In my case, neither. I just use aluminum foil.
Me too.
I feel the same. I also feel that it is underpitching, (and yes I do understand Mark’s nuclear bomb idea) and if my lagers/ales are earning medals in big competitions then I don’t see a reason to fix what is not broke. Just my 2 cents. Will I try the shaken not stirred method in the future? Most likely when a competition beer is not being brewed.
Are you using malta Goya straight out of the bottle like the guys in my local club? ;D ;D
I’ve thought of trying it for fun. 
I just add the DME to a sanitized jug and top it off with filtered water. Shake to dissolve, pitch yeast, then shake until it’s all foam. Cover with foil and I’m done. The longest part of the process is cleaning up the inevitable DME all over the kitchen that happens every time I open a bag no matter how careful I am.
I will boil for situations like waking bottle dregs where I am starting with an exceptionally low cell count. But DME is not an infection risk when pitching a full smack pack or vial of healthy yeast, AFAIC.
Same here, Jeff.
Wow. Good to know. I will try that sometime.
For years I made starters in Erlenmeyer flasks I put on top the refrigerator. Every time I walked by I would shake the flask.
Made great beers.

The answer how to make great beers must be Erlenmeyer flasks!!
All the above methods work if you use good technique.
