Nice little yeast experiment. The beers look and sound fantastic. I've seen you get good results from dry extract in the past. So on the fermentables front, you've once again illustrated perfectly why I've preferred using dry malt extract for extract and partial mash beers for the last 8 years. Same for the color. I've had success using about 3% Melanoidin for a bit of that decoction flavor. Good to know the amber dry extract (which I love) will do that too. Great video. You've also showcased once again how simple homebrewing can be. Cheers

very interesting results with just dme ---does this solve the twang issue

I am a fan of 3470. Cheers 😀 👍 🍻

That delivery had me totally confused! Thank you LJ! I had just returned from the PNW so I am really looking forward to trying that yeast out!

How big of a problem would it be to do this without cold crashing? Will just getting the bottles really cold be enough to prevent problems?

they are a game changer -one of the best pieces of kit in the brewery -use mine as a tap (with pouring attachment) & for bottling (pet & glass & flip top) when required -usually do a double flush of CO2 when bottling.

You're an ideas man LJ.🍺

Are u doing a video concluding that extract beer twang is impossible to remove ? I think its only good as emergency beer. I have 1 or 2 homebrew then drink commercial beer after that just to save money. . I couldn't drink extract homebrew every night or all night.. It used to taste better back in the 90s but maybe my expectations were lower. The dark beer and stout seem to be bearable and less twangy. Also dark commercial beers are getting expensive now, so i might just keep making stout. .

Maybe do one more Twang Files video to summarise the series and perhaps recommend best method to minimise it. 😃I typed this before 9:10 when you started to say you would be doing a Twang Files catch-up. Looking forward to it.

I just recently brewed this myself although i did sway off the recipe.. i added more ginger and used 2 large jalapeno.. it is a seriously nice brew and i look forward to playing around with it for future brews

Interesting results through out the series. Thanks for the effort and analysis. Cheers 😀 👍 🍻

Bulk priming and CC ?

Liked ya video mate👍

I just put one in the fridge aged 2 yrs. Going to be interesting. Still have 3 quarters of a case that’s been sitting. Been back into the craft beer after a break of mainly just German beers lagers wheat beers etc.. BB around a yr ago. Means little to be though as some of the best beers I’ve drank are after bb.

Still have not got around to the red, but I will sooner or later. Glad you referenced Twang, I’m not going to say I don’t get twang, but I find with the 7 BR brews I have done so far, you gotta go looking for it. 🍻

Seems like Red IPA is flavour of the month (year?) down here. I even started working on a recipe this afternoon.

Do you need to leave the bulk primed wart in the fermenter for another couple days? Or just bottle straight away ? Cheers.

What a stomach. Drink water bloke.

Fantastic video. Great helpers. Very well-behaved. Good to start 'em early being around beer & brewing. It's an extension of having them help to cook meals, or taking them to a pub where adults are eating and drinking beer & alcohol responsibly. Looking forward to seeing how the brew turns out. Cheers

My kids hate the smell 😂

That was so wholesome mate. You're a brave man though gettin the young fella to carry that glass lid over.

loved the video. You have very enthusiastic helpers! Cheers 🍻

That collab was bloody brilliant! Reckon you’ll ever do Little Johns’s Brewing as brewery of the month if ya can get some beers out of him????????

Great to see how easy and quick this can be, as well as how good the result is. I definitely need to give this method a try. Cheers!

Another great vid with some great advice. Nice one cheers from over the pond 👍🍻

I done one of these brews and it came out really good better then a FWK in my opinion I was thinking of doing a whirlpool in the next one maybe topping up the water untill the wort is around 80 degrees then whirlpooling 🤔

Well done 👍.im sure there will be plenty of people start doing this method

So no twang with the dry malt?

I have had great success with partial mash brews. The short brew day and easy cleanup is a huge plus. Cheers 😀 👍 🍻

Good job adapting on the fly.

I have found twang even using DME, hops, and various yeasts. I am just living with it. Mostly doing 3 gallon all grain now. Thanks for the video.Cheers 😀 👍 🍻

We all get brew days like this at one time or another. It sucks!! Thanks for the video. Cheers 🍻

How you get your hydro to sit flat mine always sticks to the side

I actually emailed coopers recently. Coopers in the 70's did full FWK hot cubes. Production stopped because it was a logistics nightmare with 20-23L of fresh wort. I urged them to trial it again as the market is aware of the decrease in quality in the process of making extract. I also pointed out that shipping would have to be easier as they ship their product to everywhere including woolies. Imagine being able to buy a fresh wort at the local supermarket!

Love your reviews. Keep it up

Can’t wait for the black rock lager taster, wrapt with my recent one, twang wise, you gotta go looking for it.

Have not enjoyed a MJ yet. But in saying that I have not done the red.

Nice John. Would love to see a video about your notepad. What you note down with your brews etc.

Idea? Burnt malt taste from reducing the liquid to a syrup during processing. It's got that burnt toffee twang?

Thanks for all the investigation LJ this has been a very interesting series to watch. It would have been great to have a second drinkers perspective along this journey or some blind tests. As a future video idea, have you thought about testing one of the fresh wort kits from your local HBS? It would be interesting to see if you discover twang there as well, though appreciate this is an entirely different product.

If nothing will get rid of the twang philly sour definately will 😂😂😂

I agree that the 2021 and 2022 weren't the greatest but I think 2023 was actually quite tasty. I regret not having bought a 2023 carton.

Never brewed a smoked beer before. I might try one in August. Cheers 😀👍🍻

i was just going to ask if you used Ferm Cap and you showed the bottle😁😁

Coopers European lager (lager yeast) brewed in winter. I dont get twang
