In a non-creepy way, I love your energy in the videos. The way your just so excited and the look in your eyes when you brew. Some channels hosts look like... "eh... another brew day video. Grrrrreeeeat.. ugh". Love the way to stay motivated!
I think you mean use the hop rocket to Randall the beer at serving time. A Radler is a bit like a shandy but citrussy I think. I used the Randall method just before bottling to lock in some extra happiness in one beer.
I’ve used my hop rocket for many applications. I’ll transfer beer from one keg to another using it to up my aromas and mellow out overly malty beers. Cheers man!
Nice Randall experiment. Look into a Randall from Dogfish Head craft brewing, those are awsome. I think they even put plans to build your own out there.
I really like that grist recipe and I will try using a hop bomb in my keg seeing I don't have a hop rocket yet. I do want a lighter Belgian than the traditional darker Munich base. Looked 😋 tasty!
I usually brew 10 gallon so I fill two kegs with the same beer. Then I use the hop rocket to infuse one of the kegs and usually it´s with cascade. Mine didn´t leak so I hope you can tighten everything up to stop leakage. Cheers
@@TheHomebrewChallenge Thank you. Yes, a huge change. Almost to much after a week sitting in the rocket with no pour. So usually I mix a little from that tap with the other, un-infused one. That works well for me
From Blichmann HopRocket manual: "During operation, and particularly when used as an inline hop infuser in your dispensing system, you must never exceed the rated pressure of 40 PSI (275 KPa). " You likely didn't have the gasket tight enough to seal/seat properly. What you did was use the HopRocket into a Randall, which is 1 of 2 uses it's meant for. :-)
It reminded me of the Duvel Tripel Hop.. It was 9.5%abv.. I think these styles are very open to citrusy hops... I am guessing the Tripel is coming for the next weeks brew😄🍺🍺
1:56 I don't know what you were worried about. All of that equipment is in perfect focus... right behind that amorphous blob of pixels in the foreground. :)
Styrian Goldings is Fuggles. The BJCP guidelines also call for EKG or SAAZ. "Belgian Pils malt, aromatic malts, sugar, Belgian yeast strains that produce complex alcohol, phenolics and perfumy esters". This is Leffe Blond.
Quite interesting exeriment. With a very short contact time with the hops it made a major impact on the flavor. I would have to say that dry hopping doesn’t just add aroma to a beer. Did the beer have a more bitter characteristic?
Thanks for showing all of your hop rocket experiment. I think it is a great idea because now if you have made a beer you may not like as much you can hook it up to the hop rocket for a change. Btw did you ever figure out how to not get it to leak?
First I am new to the channel - so thank you for your time and efforts. Second, I am planning on brewing a Belgium Blonde in a couple weeks as I look forward to warmer weather. And that leads to my question- how much lactic acidosis did you use to balance the ph?
@@TheHomebrewChallenge Sadly not... it´s just the most niche style i could think of. I´m also planning to brew one this year. I would go with a blend of Brett, Lacto and a german ale yeast.
Hi, i am brewing a lot with dry yeast. You are using most of the time liquid yeast. Mabey it is nice to visit with you home brew challange some dry yeast for example from Fermentis.
So do you mash out and sparge? I've watched a bunch of your videos and if you do it you don't show it. I'm curious how you do it with the electric set up you use.
With the brew in a bag/basket system that the claw hammer system he is using, you just increase the temp on the control to mash out temp then pull out the grain basket and drain. There is no sparge in the brew in the bag method. This can lead to lower efficiency, so a lot of homebrewers double crush their grain to help combat this.
The Clawhammer Supply setup he uses is not suitable for sparging, it is meant for single infusion mashing. He can raise temp to mash out if he wants, but don't think he does very often.
The purpose of the mash out is to stop conversion. It is useful in system with long fly sparges. Mashing out is an unnecessary step in brew in a bag. Pulling the basket/bag out effectively stops the conversion. Many BIAB brewers do batch sparges (Martin does not). It requires another vessel to dump the beer in and another source of hot water, not to mention extra time. Many BIAB brewers chose to skip this step as it will in no way impact the quality of the beer. It will reduce lauttering efficiency, but that can easily be accounted for with brewing software.
Sitting here watching in horror as bubbles continue to travel up the liquid line into the hop rocket unable to focus on the tasting notes... How much beer ended up in that pot at the end?

I meant hoppiness although hops do bring happiness to a beer as your tasting experiment showed.
Haha. True on both counts.
Brewed your Irish Stout recipe a few days ago, currently fermenting 👌
Awesome. Hope you enjoy it.
I did the clone one. I've never changed the recipe since that

Oh that’s a fine idea.
@@TheHomebrewChallenge I also use it as a dry hoping method in my conical fermenters.
Really looking forward to the trappist ale episodes!!
That makes two of us 😎

That’s fantastic. Do you also notice as big a change in the beer as we did.

Belgian Ardennes is one of my favorite Belgian yeasts. It doesn't over power the beer with clove and banana some Belgians can.
From Blichmann HopRocket manual:
"During operation, and particularly when used as an inline hop infuser in your dispensing
system, you must never exceed the rated pressure of 40 PSI (275 KPa).
"

Yeah must have been not tightened or a poorly placed O ring. Thanks for looking up the entry in the manual.
As always, great video.
Thanks!

...soon!
@@TheHomebrewChallenge My tripel is fermenting already.. Can’t wait for the next video..🍺🍺😄

Interesting you didn't add any Candi sugar, but the recipe does look pretty damn good!
it isn't necessary, though yes it is the usual for Belgian styles, agreed that it does look great though
Hola maestro 🌎me transcribe la receta?
Styrian Goldings is Fuggles. The BJCP guidelines also call for EKG or SAAZ. "Belgian Pils malt, aromatic malts, sugar, Belgian yeast strains that produce complex alcohol, phenolics and perfumy esters". This is Leffe Blond.

Did the beer have a more bitter characteristic?
Really good video. Liked the compare/ contrast element in this one.
How much hops did you load in the rocket?
I used about 2oz
Thanks for showing all of your hop rocket experiment. I think it is a great idea because now if you have made a beer you may not like as much you can hook it up to the hop rocket for a change. Btw did you ever figure out how to not get it to leak?
We were amazed at the difference it made. Will need to make sure it’s tightened down next time.
First I am new to the channel - so thank you for your time and efforts.
Second, I am planning on brewing a Belgium Blonde in a couple weeks as I look forward to warmer weather. And that leads to my question- how much lactic acidosis did you use to balance the ph?
I added about 4ml of lactic acid. But the amount you need depends upon the water you are using.
@@TheHomebrewChallenge Thanks for the info. I typically build up from distilled using brewing salts.
When are u brewing a Lichtenhainer?
Very soon. Any tips?
@@TheHomebrewChallenge Sadly not... it´s just the most niche style i could think of. I´m also planning to brew one this year. I would go with a blend of Brett, Lacto and a german ale yeast.

Yes. I did brew one of my beers with dry yeast but it wouldn’t hurt to try a few more for sure. I love how easy dry yeast is to store and use.
Could you use the hop rocket to infuse fresh fruit into a beer? Or would you need something else?
Don’t see why not.
You can! Had a fruity IPA at Brewdog Bar STHLM rum through a Randal with mangoes and papaya. Delish!
won't the 'hop raddler' just cause a lot of nucleation sites and co2 loss?
So do you mash out and sparge? I've watched a bunch of your videos and if you do it you don't show it. I'm curious how you do it with the electric set up you use.
I believe the clawhammer system is a modified "BIAB" just with a metal bucket instead
With the brew in a bag/basket system that the claw hammer system he is using, you just increase the temp on the control to mash out temp then pull out the grain basket and drain. There is no sparge in the brew in the bag method. This can lead to lower efficiency, so a lot of homebrewers double crush their grain to help combat this.

So yeah as several folks have said here I don’t sparge at all. I will sometimes do a mash out
why do you use the hop basket?
Keep the hops out of the pump.
