Is this variety pack worth picking up? It has 3 cans of the following beers:
Boston Lager - German Lager
Jack-O - Pumpkin Ale
Oktoberfest - Marzen
Flannel Fest - Munich Style Dunkel
It’s certainly an interesting mix, with a couple of Oktoberfest seasonals, and a pumpkin ale! It would have been nice if they replaced the Boston Lager with another seasonal beer, but we’re not going to complain. Although from what we can tell, Boston Lager has certainly undergone a change.

Chocolate Oatmeal Stout ProAm Experience, Tasting and Review
I got some Opal 44 malt from Mecca malting I’m going to use in a bitter. From what I’ve heard it has some pretty good toffee flavors.
Please do report back! Cheers! - Mike
@@ColoradoBrewTalk will do sir
I like all four of these, especially the Flannel Fest.
Same here! Thanks for the comment!
When using any type of berry or fruit for that matter use at least 5lb of fruit per gallon. Otherwise its just a waste of fruit. A lot of the "net" recipies call for low#'s per gallon and lots of sugar. This will leave you with next to no flavor.
Thanks for the comment! That's a lot of fruit! I generally use somewhere in the neighborhood of 1# per gallon for beers, but I may have to try the 5# per gallon on a mead. - Mike
Mitchel Way
Congratulations on the test! In my cream ale recipes, I use 50% corn and 50% rice. I don't like the sweetness of corn. For my taste, it's perfect. Great brewing! Hugs from Brazil
Thanks! That's a good idea, you get the best of both worlds :-) Cheers! - Mike
Obsessed with these two. Just two dads dadding so hard. Two besties doing what they love. Living their best life. It’s so beautiful. Also incredibly helpful bc I want a pumpkin ale that actually tastes like pumpkin dammit
Thanks for the kind words! That was an interesting pumpkin mix. Let us know what your favorite pumpkin flavored pumpkin beers are. Cheers!
Try again in a few weeks when the oxygen you introduced with the gelatin effects the freshness.
Really, it's been a few weeks since we filmed that episode, and it tastes great, I just had a glass last night. Have you ran into that problem? I did a closed transfer from the fermenter to a purged keg, and when it was time to introduce the gelatin I opened the kegs lid and dumped it in then sealed back up.
@@ColoradoBrewTalk Yes I have sadly. Opening the lid is actually bad and pretty much ruins all the work you did with the purged keg and closed transfer. Air molecules move fast and there also is the dissolved oxygen in the water of the gelatin solution. Unfortunately it only takes ppb of oxygen to ruin beer post fermentation. Anyway it's something to think about.
@@ColoradoBrewTalk Most brewers I know are moving away from gelatin and simply relying on kettle finings and more settling time after chilling and before knockout. Transferring clear wort to the fermenter is the best trick for clarity of the final product.
@@russnotdisclosed7249 Thanks for the comments and some great feedback! We're going to have to do some more experiments. Stay tuned!
@@ColoradoBrewTalk i understand the concern and logic but I have added gelatin to a keg by opening the top, a week or two after pressure transfer over a hundred times. I wait at least 8 weeks from the date of brewing before drinking and have never experienced any problems. sometimes towards the end of a keg I bottle using Itap and tonight 9 months later it looks and tastes excellent. I am not an expert taster but compare my brew to off the shelf Lagers and I prefer mine. The Lager is quite pressurized before opening and I like to think the co2 is helping prevent oxidizing .
Big mistake, should been a new beer, because it is, funny how on the packaging no AVB listed, do they not care about that? Anyway, huge blunder on their part, it is completely unanimous, no one likes this beer under the Fat Tire label
Well shoot, i’m a professional researcher
Ah, but we're not 😀 I'm sure you could come up with a better, more scientific test. - Mike
@@ColoradoBrewTalk if drinking homebrew experiment batches counts we’re equally as qualified 😂. Great experiment
I love this video! Not *just* because i can use the info... But because there was a problem and you fixed it! I *always* seem to encounter a speed bump during projects like this.. So you made it real! Thank you! Keep the content coming.
Thanks for the encouragement, Gary. We do try to keep it real.
When I grow up, I want to be like you, what is a stirplate, how is this in relation to preparing for the BJCP which this channel has helped with & yes I watched the whole video.
LOL! I don't know if you really want to be like us :-) Thanks for the question! This won't help you for the BJCP exam, and we probably should have explained it. A stir plate is used to keep yeast and starter wort spinning, which keeps the yeast oxygenated, filling their cells with energy and letting them reproduce. It's a common tactic to 1. Make sure your yeast is healthy, and 2. Grow up enough yeast for higher gravity beers. We actually made a great video (linked below) on Yeast Starters, which use stir plates. Since yeast health is so important to good beer, you may actually prepare for the exam better by not using a stir plate, because you'll get to experience a lot of brewing flaws first hand :-) Thanks for watching, and let us know if you have any other questions! Cheers! (Mike) ruclips.net/video/6OO7mt3H0oc/видео.html
Great to see you guys again, kind regards from Glasgow, Scotland. XD
Thanks Robbie! We're glad to be back! Mike actually just got back from Scotland and loved it! Cheers!
@@ColoradoBrewTalk he did? 2 awesome XD
eu faço uma lager sob pressão no fermezilla.. ok . .e não controlo a temperatura. .
muito bom.. obrigado Portugal..
I ferment most of my lagers w/ 34/70 at 62F now. There is subtle differences but the beer is still good and drinkable. I just don't brew lagers during the summer. Its just easier to maintain the fermentation temperature. Cheers
Thanks for the comment! Cheers!
Just brewed w honey malt for the first time
just remove one of you taps and connect it there while you bottle
This beer knocks my socks off
What is the name of the valve at 8:38 I think that is really really smart!
I shamelessly stole the idea for that from a RUclips video I saw. It works great if you use a spunding valve or just as a blow-off (using only one carb cap, obviously). The piece is a carbonation cap tee fitting. www.morebeer.com/products/carbonation-ball-lock-cap-tee-fitting.html There are quite a few people that use this as part of a keg cleaning setup as well.
If you like blond or golden ales or lagers it's fine but if you like an amber beer it's terrible. They've betrayed their loyal customers and sold out to fit into the Bud or Miller category.
Will never buy bit again. So mad they changed
I loved Samuel Adams Boston Lager for a long time. The remastered formula was OK, but now there is a beer scam going on. The packaging and bottle have changed with lots of red up close to the cap. Beware of that beer as it tastes like crap. It is not the same beer. The bad beer comes from a local distributor in my area called Keg1. Just 12 miles away I can still get the good beer from Grellner Distributing. If the company is trying to boost profits by changing to the "bad beer" it will not work. The public will not stand for it. I finally was able to contact their HR department and the woman there assumed I had gotten ahold of a "bad batch." NO. I am seeing a company switch to cheaper ingredients in order to make more money.
Great in depth feedback. I have a brewzilla on it’s way, very excited to use it after brewing on propane for years.
Thanks for the comment! We hope you enjoy your brewzilla!
You guys rock!
No, you rock! :-) Love your videos and recipe analysis!
Thanks to @RCAC03 for pointing out that Jesse accidentally entered 4LB of Crystal, rather than 4 oz, at 20:34. That explains why the gravity was off at 23:31.
Very timely, I have the Mean Brews Kolsch conditioning now. I used Hallertau Mittelfruh for bittering but the alpha acid was only 1.8%, so ended up using 3 ounces! Hope it works out. In the back of my mind I kept thinking this can't be right as I added them to the kettle! I didn't realize there was the Hallertau Magnum variety but do now. Thank you!
I'd always heard that it doesn't really matter whal hop varietal one uses for bittering, but I like to use ingedients from the same region as the style (Weyermann malt and German hops for German beers. English hops and Maris Otter for English, etc.). Not sure it really matters, but it certainly doesn't hurt. I was torn between Hallertauer Mittelfruh and Tettnag. Let us know how it turns out once you tap it!
Brewing a kolsch this wekeend. THanks for the inspiration
Good luck with the brew! Let us know how it comes out!
I usually stick to Brewfather over the past few years. I love the simplicity of the web view. Mike you had shared with me the Web version of Beersmith, but I think its a little behind Brewfather. Something I do when adding a recipe from any source, is I start with the final volume that the recipe declares and plug in all the ingredients as listed then I scale it to my equipment profile.
Brewfather does have a more modern feel, the web interface for Beer Smith replicates the desktop app, and it lags behind a bit, but I think that's the focus now so I think it'll keep progressing. Starting with the volume is a solid approach. Thanks for the comment! - Mike
I gotta offer a great big thank you for the weights trick in Beersmith. I've been using BS for a decade or longer and never knew that! Also, you can just enter a partial figure when selecting ingredients. If you are looking for crystal 75L malt just type 75L and it will show you all the crystal/caramel malts in that color range. If you want East Kent Golding hops just type EKG. and for yeast if you want WLP001 just type 001. As long as the letter string you type is in the name of the ingredient it will pull it up. You can also set up custom mash profiles. I have one for each of my brew systems and each of those has 6+ individual mash options based on temperature. So if I'm using my Anvil Foundry all in one unit and I want to mash at 154°F I just click the mash dropdown in the design page and select "02 Anvil - medium/full body (154)". That's just my naming system, you can organize them however you wish. The whole process used to be covered in the Brulosophy youtube channel but they removed all the old content. I think they can be found deep on their website by searching something like "Beersmith profile tutorial"
Glad to be able to provide that tip. We were both pretty wowed by it when we discovered it. Thanks for the tip on searching. Brewfather will also search on the whole string, but I never noticed that Beersmith does the same.
4 lbs of crystal!
Can you imagine..? 🤢
@@ColoradoBrewTalk that's why the calculation was off between the two software OGs
You are 100% correct! Jesse put in 4 LBS of Crystal instead of 4oz. We'll have to add some cards to point out the issue to future brewers! Thanks for catching that!
Hi there How about using it with hot water? 60° 70° maybe Do you think the material is strong enough?
Looking at the manual for the keg washer, it recommends using 110°F (43°C) water. I would be hesitatnt to use water much warmer than that to avoid damage to the pump.
@@ColoradoBrewTalk ok guys thank you 🍻
Awesome!
Thx for a great review.
Glad it was helpful!
alcohol percentage used to be 4.9 too
its definitly different
LIKE👍👍👍👍👍💥 💢💯💢💯💢💥🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ok do you have a video explaining Lambec? I do not do beer I make mead and I want to do a lambec styled cherry mead. but it is not 100% clear on making them and what process difference there is. if you know of a video or two explaining it I would also dig that info.
We don't have a video, but I make a bunch of lambic / wild fermented style beers. I've wanted to try a cider or mead using a lambic pitch from White Labs, but haven't yet. I would expect you would get some funk that way. If you're just going for tart than philly sour yeast would be easier. Lambics are usually base beers with hard to ferment / unfermentable sugars and starches. The yeast eats up the easy stuff, then Brett eats away at the rest of the stuff over the next long period of time. Months or years. - Mike
@@ColoradoBrewTalk I have liked the lambic cherry beers I have had and wanted to do the same basic process. I'll look into the yeast. I have use Philly sour in the past. But am gonna hit the wildbrew next time out lol.
When you mentioned th bag on the autosiphon…was that a basic cheesecloth bag?
@jonathanphilbrick96 the one I was using was nylon mesh with a draw string on the top.
Chat GPT is a great way to revise... Type this in 'Ask me a mix of true or false, multiple choice and multiple choice multiple answer questions for the BJCP online exam. Ask me each question in turn' You can then add to that with 'concentrate on the Judge Procedures Manual' or 'ask me questions comparing beer styles' or just 'ask me more questions' to carry on.
Great tip, thanks! - Mike
Nice video. You got a new sub
After talking to a few Home Brew shops, I was told that the King Keg 20ltr and 10ltr seem to be a bit better. I was told the Oxebar kegs seemed to end up leaking after a while. I bought 2 King Keg 20ltrs and have used them for nearly a year and yet to have any problems. After 2 years they need to be pressure tested, but it doesnt cost much
Well have to see about checking those out! A bit steeper of a price point but it's good to see the market expanding. So far we haven't had any problems with the oxebar kegs, but only time will tell. Thanks for the comment! - Mike
I don't mind one gallon batches. I make roughly 15 different batches a year. I know another brewer in England that does 1 gallon/5 liter batches. We do a homebrew chat on my channel once a month.
Sweet! That's really what we'd like to work our way into. - Mike
Why dont you just use gravity?
I believe someone else suggested that, and / or creating a closed loop, but we haven't tried it that way yet. Usually when I'm transferring, both vessels are at the same height, so gravity wouldn't work for me. - Mike
Wait. If 9ne gallon of beer is 8lbs and the keg is 4 gallons. Then that is 34 lbs. But forget about that. How do you carbonate the keg?
Same as how you would carbonate it normally, just get it cold and put it under pressure. I usually go with 12 - 15 psi at about 38 degrees for a week or two. - Mike
Enjoy the nice easy going conversation. Nice work!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks! I have 9 used corny kegs left to clean. Just cleaned one today… I have an eight tap kegerator for nitro cold brew coffee and tea. Will open a little business in a few months
Glad it helped! Good luck with the business!
Heard allabout mad elf get cracking cracking open soon ceremonial tasting Crack my sk7ll open with 11 can you hallucinate onnnnnnnnnn iiiiiiiittttttttttttttttt
Interesting. I tried it for the first time today and found it noticeably less flavorful than the Samuel Adams Boston Lager I have known for decades. Greatly disappointing. It's almost like they tried to blunt the distinctive flavor to appeal to a broader customer base that finds lighter, less flavorful beer more "approachable," whatever that means.
Totally not what I get, I get slight bolder/hoppier note, more citrus hoppy than the original.
Mine started throwing e 4 errors. Used brew in a bag in it. Can't do that. Can't have a thick mash. Cause you can't stir enough to keep it from scorching on the bottom. Going to mash in cooler use brewers edge for hot and to boil
I've ran into that as well after I left a hop basket touching the bottom. It ended up scorching the bottom, and it started throwing the errors. I cleaned the scorched area off, and hit the reset switch, and was good to go after that. Did you have the brew in a bag in the malt pipe, or did you leave the malt pipe out altogether? I use the bag inside the malt pipe, and I have read others using it without the malt pipe, I wonder if you need to hang the bag a little higher up? Good luck - Mike
They now have a 20L one ruclips.net/video/eSQk4rZqWw8/видео.html
I used your video for my first closed transfer Worked great but raised pressure from 5 to 10psi as it was a bit slow for me ( which was mentioned in video ) Thanks I gave subscribed & will be following from Australia Pity the fermented beer doesn't look promising I seem to be having problems with hops & clearing Finished gravity was 1010 & let it sit for 2 weeks?
Glad the video was a help! I struggle with clarity too, a cold crash in the keg should help you out though. - Mike
