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

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

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.

Hops: From Amarillo to Zappa

Modern hops are used to differentiate beers and brands. Even a well understood style like NEIPA has a wide range of aroma and flavour profiles. These can include grapefruit, lemon, mandarin, berry, pine, woody, caramel, menthol, herbal, spice and floral to name a few. But what are hops, how are they grown and harvested and how should you store them? Get more info at www.backyardbrewer.com.au Su...

The Problem with Whiskey
Просмотров 1617 месяцев назад
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.

Brewed this beer, came out great, really refreshing pale ale - thanks for the recipe mate
Your videos have great potential but face challenges in reaching a wider audience Here are some possible reasons: 1. SEO Optimization 2. Target Audience Reach 3. Effective Use of Hashtags 4. Social Media sharing Addressing these areas can enhance your video's visibility and attract more viewers. If you need further assistance or have any questions, feel free to ask!
Only problem is they changed the Tooheys Old Top, it used to be a nice red and black with the word OLD in the middle. just made it that little bit more special. and i made some nice Motorbikes out of them 😃
How have you found it after a year of use? I see some people having lots of problems with them.
How long does it take to chill big boy?
Be excellent to each other, and brew on dudes!
Mate, that is some of the clearest wort I have every seen!
Recirculating it through the grain bed acts like a filter and does leave nice clear wort.
Nice one, mate. Good to see you back on the horse after the infection 🍻
They’ve both turned out to be good beers, unfortunately they’re both about half gone after I packaged some up for family and friends.
Oh FFS get on with it!
Get in with what exactly?
Interesting, I've noticed by pills have done the same recently
Thanks for the recipe Craig. Galaxy Pale Ale is going on my list.
It really should, it’s my new favourite American Pale Ale.
Good work mate
Thanks 👍
Great video. I think the concept of comparison double batches is a winner. Ie: same effort and 'possibly' double the reward'. Cheers.
It helps to fill up the kegs
12:25 It so is...i feel sorry for you. 🤣🤣
This is just one reason I can't see myself ever being anything other than an extract kit man. Even dry hopping is a bother imo. So many variables.
Everyone has their own level of commitment in time, money and learning. I did nothing but extract brewing until COVID hit.
Does it not have a cooling coil?
No, I suppose a cooling coil for this beast would be huge and would take a lot of water to cool.
hi fella just subscribed suppose we have all been through this but we all learn by our mistakes onwards and upwards fella greetings from durham city uk
Lessons learned, and I’m back on the horse.
It’s not important how many times you get knocked down, it’s how many times you get up that’s absolutely vital. I feel your pain, I’d be extremely hacked off as well, but your sharing of issues and the resolution is a great lesson to all of us!
Great philosophy. I’m back to brewing and making content again.
I remove the stir bar using a magnet before I pour, as yep I've had it go into the fermenter
Great idea, definitely need to add this as it’s not the first time the stir bar ended up in the fermenter.
Hot cube mate - you won’t look back !! Simpler easier cleaner cheaper and you can keep wort for 3 months plus …
I’ve hot cubed twice now, I did notice a slight increase in IBU because of the additional isomerising.
Sharing mistakes makes not only you learn, but also your audience. So, thanks for sharing. 🍻
Very true! And it’s worth it if I help just one person avoid this situation.
I’m impressed with the coolossus counter flow. Cools to ground water temps although perhaps slowly.
Back on the horse mate.
I feel for you brother! I’ve been using my plate chiller for about 18 months now without issue. I do run PBW for 30 minutes or so then I switch and run for 30 minutes through the chiller in the opposite direction, I then run several gallons of clean hot water to thoroughly rinse everything. Here’s to future delicious brews! Brew On!
I’ve also seen that some professional brewers leave sanitiser in the chiller between brews.
There is not one single brewer on the planet who hasn't had something go badly wrong at some point. Treat it as a right of passage - move on and brew better beer having learned a disheartening lesson. Felt your pain.
Yep, everyone has had problems. I’ve actually seen videos from two professional brewers today that had to dump batches much larger than mine.
Thanks for sharing, good to appreciate that it doesn't always go as planned even for experienced brewers. Good to hear you've already gotten back on the horse that threw you.
I’ll definitely be more vigilant from now on. Throwing beer away is against my religion 😁
Sorry asked while watching. Your a much more advanced brewer than me.
Do you run hot wort through the chiller during boil?
Yes, but that’s not a guarantee that the chiller is completely pasteurised, and the debris that comes out could affect taste. Best I be more thorough from now on.
I've had nothing but issues with my plate chiller. Seems like no matter how much I clean it I still get debris coming out and it's prone to blocking. I think I'm done with them
They’re only slightly more efficient than counter flow chillers so I’ll give it one more chance before I give up on 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.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll start adding that to the routine.
Gday, just got mine, notice that the temp controllers on front give different readings of temp from probes. Is there a way to calibrate probe readings?
You can, by -10 to 10, and you can download the instructions from the Kegland site. www.kegland.com.au/cdn/shop/files/Instruction_Manual_IceMaster_G20.1.pdf?v=15340451797557340613
Just got back from a Sierra Nevada Pint Night at my local pub and I stumbled on your video. Great job. I brew Pale Ales quite often... Love Sierra Nevada Pale Ale...
It’s a great beer and easy to brew.
Is the process the same when collecting from a conical?
It’s a little easier because you can dump the yeast cake after primary fermentation, but essentially there same process.
Spendy, but I never regretted buying a maltzilla
what sort of gap do you use on yours? In what sort of system? Cheers.
@@KenLovesCraftBeer a thick piece of post card/business card for gap. Blichmann brew easy "classic" and a quart of ricehulls over the false bottom
Bet your wife loved your reason for giving up on your old fridge. 1. It works and ive spent shitloads on extras to make something i was once stoked about, but its not the best in the world. 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. So yeah, its um worth us getting this over a holiday in bali....surely
Actually she is very supportive. She is a beer drinker and prefers the beer I make to most commercial offerings, also neither of us would be caught dead in Bali. My day job pays well enough to support my brewing habit and still let us take holidays and keep horses and so do the things we want to do.
Useful video, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
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.
Thanks. I’m planning on doing a partial mash video soon with just the very basic equipment - a stock pot and the cheapest fermenter Kegland sell. They have just come out with a range of partial mash kits and I’ve ordered one and I’ll get my wife to brew it. She’ll pull me up if I get too technical.
@@backyard-brewer Thank you very much. I look forward to that.
Brilliant shirts mate! The Wrangler/ US Flag shirt on brew day and the "I identify as a brewer" shirt on tasting day. Great job- beautiful brew.
Thanks 👍
Love a good Porter after dinner. Cheers 😀 👍 🍻
I have problems some times deciding between the Imperial Stout or the Robust Porter. Decisions.
Very nice. I've only ever made 1 mead, and it turned out extremely dry. It was probably 20 years ago and I didn't know to backsweeten it. I think I may give it another go. Looking forward to the next tasting in a few months.
It's definitely worth having another go, especially if you can get your hands on farm fresh honey.
What water profile did you start with and target?
I start with RO water and then build the profile up to target: Ca 7ppm Mg 2ppm Na 2ppm Cl 6ppm SO4 8ppm HCO3 16ppm Very small additions, very soft water.
Looking forward to the dry hop test. Going to give this a go
Their IPA is great too 🍺
Thanks, Good series, might give this a crack myself
Is the colour from your tank water ?
No, the tank water is crystal clear. The colour comes from the hops.
Nice spray bottle
They are great, but I figured out you have to release the pressure after use or else the pump mechanism craps out.
Can't wait for the tasting video.
It’s out now
Interesting, will try that in the summer. However, one question comes up - is there a recommended water profile? E.g. one could increase SO4 to pronounce the hops...
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.
@@backyard-brewer OK, so it is also recommended to start with RO/distilled water.
I'd make small batches to start with. Start with a clean water profile and then test what different additions do.
Can’t wait to try it 🎉
Tastng day gets closer by the week
I love that you're drinking this by the pint 🍻
Go hard or go home 😊😊
