Can We Brew a Beer as Good as the Pros? | MoreBeer!

- Every homebrewer has friends that say that their beer is as good as the pros. So, we put this theory to the test with Barebottle Brewing, by brewing the same beer recipe at the same time, using the same ingredients, but very different equipment. Then, we served both beers side by side at a beer festival to see if drinkers can tell the difference.
A HUGE thank you to our friends Barebottle Brewing, check them out!

I would like to see the experiment using not so top of the line products. Most homebrewers won't have an experimental fermenter.
Looked delicious, can we get the recipe!? 🍻😆
That looked like a fun challenge. Cool to see local brewers I know or recognize in your vid at the event.
In the future a 'better' test would be to conduct a triangle tasting with opaque cups.
Great job guys!
This is awesome! What makes the clarity worse in the homebrew? Would a pressure ferment help?
Yea pressure fermentation helps drastically. Gelatin is good, sometimes you have to use more than the brew manuals tell you but i get crystal clear ale all the time. My cleanest beers have been whirflock at end of boil(10min) Then gelatin fine with half a pack of unflavored gelatin(you can find the process on google) Then store it in a keg under pressure for 4 weeks. This will result in a crystal clear beer everytime even if its a dark red ale
I would say process. One can get very clear beer without finings or fancy fermenters. You just have to focus on keeping the wort clear all the way through the process.
@@timpolstermany home brewers are afraid of racking. I started working in a small winery where racking is not given a worry.
Excellent!
I went to a brewery and helped for a day. I was able to take 10gal of hot wort and ferment it at home. I didn't take it back to compare, I used different yeast and there was the ride home with hot work in covered buckets so there wasn't a way to keep the variables down. Still was a lot of fun and the 10gal of fresh wort was a great gift, as well as the experience of brewing 10 BBL system.
While I think this is cool, one of the reasons I like home brewing is that I can make stuff that the commercial brewers don’t brew.
What could have been done to have the home brew more clear?
So when/if you come out with kit(s) with a few tweaks, would they be sake/wine or lager/ale? Cheers!!!
It would be considered lager/beer since it's over 50% malted barley and low ABV.
I would say yes, every beer had to start somewhere
Great way to show just how far homebrewing equipment has evolved
Can you tell us what pitch rate was used for the "German" dry yeast? Or just a simple how many packs were used for the homebrew batch. Also where did the homebrew batch finish at? Thanks!
The rule of thumb is 1.5mil per mL/P. 5 gallon batch you'll probably need 4 packs or just make a big enough starter.
I've tried to make carbon copies of beer,pizza,burgers,salads,soups and even giardiniera. Nothing ever exact but almost always good. But what a fun blind taste test. Wish I could have participated.
Should have controlled the cold side and fining yourself so it would have been clearer.
How did the pro brewer like that new yeast?
Pretty wild to do a rice lager to compare. Good on you for doing a real challenge
uncooked rice direct into the mash tun, this is just for flavor?
No, it's part of the grist. With the enzyme provided by the Barley malt, it converts also.
La siguiente ocasión traten de hacer 2 degustaciones, una en vaso cristalino y otra en lata donde no se vea la claridad de la cerveza para distinguir sabor y
The next time try to do 2 tastings, one in a crystal glass and another in a can where the clarity of the beer cannot be seen to distinguish flavor and appearance.

Triangle test in opaque cups and I think you are equal.
Gelatin fine the homebrew or served in opaque cups and I think it would've been much closer.
Wooo! Keep these experiments going. Definitely should have a been a blind test because you can always tell by the clarity of the brew. But I truly think it was a successful experiment. Keep these experiments coming woooo🎉
I think you're right - Fining with Kerry Biofine would level the playing field on clarity and dialing in the CO2 level could make the two beers nearly the same. Great experiment...BREW!!!
