Needs more beer 🍻 😉 Great video and a nice way to revisit some great beer!

Looking good!

You go Dan !!! My man , keep it going !!

Looks good. Cheers Dan

Love all your music in your videos! Would love to see your “set lists”!

Just noticed your Delaware OH shirt. I love a few minutes down the road in Sunbury!

Great video!

As much as you intended to showcase 5 beers we should brew, you showcased your production and script chops. I know you make beer, and they all look great, maybe a channel centered around production would find a wider audience and increase your return on investment. I know I want to be student numero UNO at the Hops & Gnarly production University. Cheers to another great assembly of very well comprised productions. Nicely done.

Great vid. Also just brewed a Czech Dark Lager with a very similar malt profile and couldn't be happier with the result - dark, yet crisp, malt forward and fruity, mild roast... such an interesting style.

One of my favorite beers I’ve ever made! 🍻

First off...I love your channel and your new brewery! Just an idea though...you left a LOT of that Incognito in the cup. I've had good luck heating it up under hot water then pulling a cup or so of hot wart out and mixing the incognito with the hot wort then adding it back in. Cheers.

Nice ! just use DME at boil to stay in the weight range of your system for big beers. It works very good.

Incognito idea - would take a liter of wort and adding the hops and incognito into a flask on a stir plate help use up the potential hop aroma?

Regarding the incognito: I worked for Barth Haas and the guys from brewing solutions told me if you don't add it to your unchilled wort, like literally at flameout it'll be very hard to properly dissolve. I had my trouble with the stuff too because the wort was already too cold. And yeah, someone else mentioned this already but I like to get a new glass to dose the incognito in, then add the boiling hot wort, stir and get it back into the kettle.

One advice I have using incognito...get some wort after the whirlpool hot and dissolve the incognito in that and dump it into the cooled wort. It'll be super efficient and still has the same effect

Haha I just suggested the same thing!!

Ballast Point was sold btw

As a brit in Germany, let me correct some pronunciation mistakes all english speakers make. Vorlauf sounds like four-louf.

One thing I wished you added to your videos is more detail on water salt additions. How much and why according to size , in mash and sparge or just mash .

Love the video dude. Why should you rest the mash before starting recirculation? How long is this rest as well?

@HopsANDgnarly

4 ай бұрын

Thanks! If the pump pulls down on the grains they can kind of collapse into themselves and become too tight as they swell from the water. Letting it rest allows the grains swell while still floating. That’s the idea anyway

@@HopsANDgnarly that makes sense. I have another brew this weekend and will try the 10 min rest and see what that does to the flow rate while keeping the crush the same. Hope you get your water in your brewery sorted.

@@HopsANDgnarly When I brewed a beer and switched on the circulation immediately it made use of the overflow pipe. I had to dial back the pump in order to not keep on using the overflow pipe. After seeing this video and asking the next brew with the same grain in the same volumes at the same crush was flowing a lot easier after waiting 10min before circulation. Thanks for this tip

Hey Dan! long time no talk on the channel! With the neipa, does it need a bittering addition? I only do my hazies with a bittering addition to round the malt sweetness

Heyy I tend to switch back and forth. Depends on the beer

I notice that you perform a vorlauf with your B40 malt pipe pulled up into draining/sparging position. I have had my B40 for 3 years now and don't know why I haven't thought about doing that.. I'd think it'd help significantly with grain bits in the wort left behind (I try to remove them with a strainer while it's coming up to a boil...and there's usually a LOT). Do you find that this vorlauf you conduct to aid in that respect??

@HopsANDgnarly

Yea it helps filter and I think you get a bump in efficiency as well

@zkosslow

I mean, we're recirculating the entire time during the mash... With that said, do you feel like most of the grain bits that do get left behind in the wort are freed when you lift the malt pipe out?

Did you inactivate the yeast for that pastry sour? Or just keep it cool, so it won't consume all that fruity goodness? Or actually let it ferment the fruit? You wouldn't want that corny to become a bomb

Yea it’s a good point. We drank it so fast it didn’t seem to matter. Definitely not one to can before nuking the yeast

In general, I like your content Dan. Production and quality is top notch and your passion shows. The only thing that stops me watching regularly or subscribing is the excessive B-roll. It's too much.

Is there such a thing as too many hops in the whirlpool? 😂 more the merrier.

Yes, because the hops will start to adsorb aroma compounds and it absorbs liquid

You said hops not incognito ​@@Fairlylocalhomebrewery there is a too many HOPS. I was not referring to his video but your comment

INCOGNITO product is the worst product I have tried. It sticks to everything, even my kegs. Stay away from it. So difficult to get rid off.

This is a commercial, which this channel is really just all about. They might as well invest in the clickbait ads you have to watch of, to see a real video. Unsubbing after three BS vids. Also, all the fake comments.

No thanks. Obscenely hopped whatever this is just isn't my thing. It looks more like grapefruit juice than it does beer, and it really astonishes me that people like this assault on taste buds sort of thing.

@Dgnarly I watched the video and then commented. I was referring to the first beer you talked about in the video and I should have made that clear. Just not my sort of thing and I am no stranger to IPAs. I just don't much care for hop bombs and your brew seems like one to me. But at the end of the day it doesn't have to please me since I didn't, and wouldn't, brew something like that. It only needs to please you. If my comment bothers you that much by all means feel free to delete it...or I will if you prefer. No problem for me either way.

It's not like he is forcing you to brew it. He recommends it. Be open minded or leave it for you. If you do not want to brew it, fine, skip the beers that do not appeal to you. You sound like an offended snowflake
