And I’m watching it on a Wednesday so it’s a Homebrew Wednesday for both of us 🤣I always love hearing everyone’s take on brewing. Some great advice ,I was drinking the first pint of my sabro SMASH as I was watching this ( never used sabro before) brilliant. Happy New Year. Looking forward to another year of your great content cheers 👍🍻
Thanks Rick, same tl you , keep the enthusiasm comming. Yeah simgle malt for me at thw moment is very nice. Looking forward to darkening it up and adding some branches. Cheers mate, takecare
Cheers Dinoz, i do tend to waffle a bit. Anyway great to hear from you, your bottle is still in the fridge so hopfully next week ill get it away to you. And thanks for a great year . Cheers
Hell ya to the diastatic power! Great info! I really want to brew a smash… and do it every so often using different malts and hops just to get familiar with the malts/hops… water chemistry is awesome…so fun to adjust and see what it will do… your conditioned beer looks great 👍 as does the new one… gonna be a winner once it’s ready… diggin the stone fruit on your new one… nice finnroo! Cheers 🍻
Great video! Lots of excellent points, tips & advice. The first beer looks & sounds delicious! 👍Will be interesting to see how the second beer progresses over time. I've not heard of mānuka until watching this video. I'd love to see what you do with it in a brew. I made a spruce infused porter a few years back and it's still holding up well, so I'll be doing a tasting video of that soon. I hope you shoot some video when you return to Twizel. Cheers mate & Happy New Year! 🍺
Diastatic power is conversion power my friend! Interestingly most crystal and roast malts are already converted when they are malted and you can steep most of them in water and get the sugars that way without base malt. Base malt really helps for malts that haven't been stewed of roasted as well as adjuncts like rolled oats or barley or other grains that haven't been malted
I really appreciate your comment and yeah your right. Ive held the belief that base malt diastatic enzymes helped convert the specialty malts. I must have read it somewhere or someone told me a long time ago and thats what i thought happens. Ive done some googling and information on the subject is all over the show LOL. In a book i have by Greg Hughs it says , Specialty malts specialty roasted for use in small quantities in the mash, to add, flavor, color and aroma. Unlike base malts, they contribute relatively few fermentable sugars. And yeah the conversion has already been done during the malting process, as you rightly said. Awesome, thanks mate.
