Sierra Nevada ++ | Grain 2 Glass
In the first brew day after deep cleaning the brewery, I make 2 beers from one recipe. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (repeat) and Intergalactic Pale Ale - a version based on Galaxy hops.
I brewed a double batch of the SNPA malt bill and then split the batch in two after the sparge. The hop schedule is identical - 90, 60, 30 and 0 minutes - but adjusting the amount to end up with the same IBU's.

Disaster Strikes
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 месяца назад
Tragedy struck in the form of an infection. Because I was brewing so frequently, it took out 4 batches before I picked up on it. This is a cautionary tale about brewery hygiene.

Pozieres Porter | Grain 2 Glass
Просмотров 3085 месяцев назад
Porter was a style almost lost to antiquity. It's popularity was waning until the craft beer movement resurrected it to become once again a popular style. This version is packed full of dark chocolate, coffee and blackberry flavours along with a floral, spicy and herbal nose.

Bottling Mead

The mead that time forgot. Well not exactly, mead just takes a long time, and I wanted to use this as a bot of an experiment to show that there is no rush to remove mead from the yeast cake (lees) once fermentation has stopped.

These can include grapefruit, lemon, mandarin, berry, pine, woody, caramel, menthol, herbal, spice and floral to name a few.

Corn is a lot like wheat in brewing - it's easy to get a stuck mash or sparge. So when you add 23kg of corn to 70L of water, it seems like no amount of rice hulls will deal with it.

    I recently opened all my ball valves (even the ones I currently don't use actively). All of them contained some amount of dirt in the dead space around the ball. I always clean the vales after use by pumping PBW solution through them for about 30 mins (valve half closed to reach the dead space). My advice: open and clean them regularly.

For todays beer missus, i need the worlds best and we both know it. 2. You know how much i love beer, shit i need double the size for all my fermenters... hey the more i make, the more i make right. 3. waaay more accurate than a fridge. Wifey can clearly see how thats important and im using facts, such as fridfe just had probe stuck to outside of fermenter... this has...no probe and measures somehow...which is waaaay more accurate 4. I can buy pills... aka, more shit... to bridge, pear or bond to my rapt to be even more accurate than my previous point. 5 i can do other stuff with all my stuff and thats pretty cool.

    I would like to see you do a beginners brew your own beer at home video with minimal equipment. You might say there are a lot videos on RUclips that cover making your first beer. There are. However the problem is they whip out expensive equipment which would make a lot of potential first time home brewers run for the hills. Also they tend to nerd out on technical talk. A lot of the mostly American guys making those videos would make making a cup of tea seem complicated if they had to make a video about it. I am looking for a beer making for dummies type video. Assume that the viewer knows absolutely nothing about about making beer at home but is very keen to try it. You asked for comments so that is mine.

      Three water profile would impact flavour the same way it would with beer except I’d recommend very small additions… you don’t have the malt backbone to offset so the normal sized additions would overpower the hops and make it taste salty.
