    Nice SMaSH here Trent. A lot of great info was provided in this video. One thing I think you did very well was show how easy it is to make a SMaSH czech pilsner.
    Finally: I dig the random Zelda music in the background lol. Cheers man!

    My first attempt at brewing a lager was a Czech Pils over the summer and it turned out amazing! I also used 802 and lagered it for 5 weeks. I brought it to the brewery I work at and both the head brewer and general manager were very impressed with the final result.
    I also agree with you that smash beers are severely underrated. Simplifying your recipe can really improve your brewing skills.

      I’m a big fan of this yeast. Will definitely be revisiting when I do dark Czech lager

    • @danbrodhead5134

      I too will also be doing a Czech dark with 802 at some point down the road. Can't wait!

    SMaSH beers are fantastic! Sometimes you just have to get back to basics. My personal favorite is a Mosaic SMaSH that I made using Imperial Dry Hop yeast.
    Great video Trent! Cheers!

    It´s fun to read the comments and watch the contrast how the Czech Pilsner is tasty and so on, but people from Czechia, like me, are over drunk of this and slobber for brewing beers like IPAs... Or at least something different than lager, you know... 😅 But! Absolutely love your vids!

    did you put any pressure in the keg when you lagered it? or just kegged it and let it sit for a month? Awesome content btw!

    Great video! When you stuck the filled keg in your keezer I noticed it wasn’t on gas (or at least I think it wasn’t). I’ve been carbonating my beers while lagering. I haven’t noticed anything off, but am I just wasting gas? Should I wait to carb within a week of serving?

    • @TheBruSho
      @TheBruSho  Год назад

      Ha good catch, but I did put the gas on right after that and I usually carbonate while lagering

    Man I'm really enjoying your channel! I have a question about the cooling coil, are you using it with a glycol chiller? How are you keeping it cool? Thanks!

    • @TheBruSho
      @TheBruSho  Год назад +1

      Right now I’m basically running a poor man’s glycol with a cooler and submersible pump with temp probe. Takes a lot of ice but works well. Glycol maybe someday when I have more space

    • @TheBruSho
      @TheBruSho  11 месяцев назад

      @@lifeofbrian4543 I think it would do great, Lutra is super clean fermenting. It just would be a “pseudo lager” if that matters to you

    I'm drinking one now - very similar to your recipe. I did add .25 oz melanoidin malt. Not real happy with the 2022 Saaz though. Nice beer, but a bit grassy / garlicy.

  • @donmac5926
    @donmac5926 Год назад

    Great content, as always. Looking at your grist is that a quite fine malt crush? Do you find that the finer your crush, the better efficiency you get and better conversion. Be good to know. Thanks.

    • @TheBruSho
      @TheBruSho  Год назад

      Yeah I do get a slight boost in efficiency when I crush fine. You really can’t go too fine with BIAB or these electric BIAB setups

    • @donmac5926
      @donmac5926 Год назад

      Thanks for your reply. I'm starting to realise that a fine crush with my biab/mesh basket is the definitely way forward. But for my brewzilla gen 4, I'll stick to a coarser crush for obvious reasons. I don't have any space to have a mill and so I order what crush I require from my supplier. Cheers 🍻

  • @danmartvk
    @danmartvk Год назад

    Totally agree. new brewers doing SMaSH until they make a good one / have their process locked down will ensure their first big/crazy recipe has the best chance of success
    Best SMaSH:
    Maris Otter x Bru 1 with Lutra
    Pilz x Mosaic with Chico
