Another fantastic video David. Thanks. I am really keen to try out some different hops and grains so that I know how they change a beer and then expand that into different recipes.

I've just begun split batching to learn myself, but i do not have time for small sizing but have to for malt testing Malts: for malt testing i have to make two batches of 12 liters. i ferment together i cornlius kegs, crash them, bottle a few with itap or carb while crashing and tasting at that point. Then i transfer both beers into one cornelius keg and put in my kegerator as one beer. Yeast: same simple style recipe with one batch of 22-25 liter and then i ferment in two to three cornlius kegs and do the same as before, although as yeast can attenuate differently i have to get it warm again after crashing it to ferment any leftovers out after combining before i crash once again. A bit longer process. Lastly with hops (mostly only test big aroma hops) i make a pale ale / ipa with bittering hop and after boil i transfer directly to small jugs and then add all my hop testing in those as flameout, after a days natural crash i put into cornelius and do as usual and again combine for one beer, typically using US05 for this. By combining i both get each thing and how it plays together and end up with one full keg of beer with combined flavors.

Looking forward to trying out the hop schedule/IBU levels in a Golden Promise with Galaxy SMaSH this weekend using the 30 minute boil with Verdant Yeast and an added Galaxy dry hop just to use them up. Will definitely be trying this brew at some point though. Thanks for this David 🤘

It is fascinating to see how many homebrewing youtubers are pushing the Nectaron hop all of a sudden. I wonder what is the budget of this NZHops promotion campaign. It is certainly no coincidence that all the videos are coming out at the same time. I am not complaining, it is great to see new hops coming to the market, however some more transparency of what is obviously a form of advertising would be appreciated. anyway, this is a good base recipe to test future brews.

Really? This I have not noticed. Ive been testing it for a long time in my recipes. Certainly I have not been sponsored. I bought these hops myself.

Awesome Channel mate I love it. I’ve listened to many of your videos now but this one has me thinking. I’ve recently bought the 65L gen 4 after doing a couple of years of kit and kilo, stopping for obvious reasons, I’m itching to get into it again. So do I stick to a SMASH for my 1st AG before getting into more complex recipes? I have 25kgs Coopers Ale single origin, some carapils and caramalt. Found two hops cryovac in freezer El dorado & Melba. Have put all into Brewfather for a straight down the middle APA. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated mate.

Great to hear , Cheers. This approach is great for learning to write recipes and for testing. Most brews are on a similar level difficulty wise though.

Great video. I often get confused about when to add hop editions and ibu’s in a recipe, as you say in this video, adding 7ibu at 30 min, 20 at 15min and 7ibu into hop stand. Obviously mixing these around changes hop quantity however is there a standard formula where you want to add 20% ibu at commencement of boil, 60% as a flavour addition then 20% at whirlpool for a pale ale for instance ?

There is no standard as such and its important to add the given amounts at the given times for the intended effect. I am you will find this guide useful too:- kzread.info/dash/bejne/iKphxLdwZZqrZ9o.html

Is this the best place to start out for a new brewer? I was thinking I'd make 4-5 identical "SMaSH" batches with the only difference being the base malt, then change the hops, the timing of the hop additions, and finally the yeast.

Excellent presentation...greatly enjoyed and entertained...I wondered if you have experimented with Philly Sour yeast? It is reported to ferment warm (22-25C), where, for a few days it generates lactic and sours your batch - then it switches to alcohol production. This recipe is close to a Berliner Weisse that would feature this yeast without the fuss of a kettle sour and a boil then a fermentation. Have you tried this yeast? THANKS!

Love your systematic approach. Would you use the same base malt combo as a baseline for high gravity IP’A’s??? Using high gravity IPA’s how much yeast food would you use for 7-8% beers (5G test batch) ??

Yes you can, though naturally there are various other ways to go. A standard measure of yeast nutrients will be fine.

David, thank you for another great video - you've helped me significantly over the last 3 years as I've learned to love my Grainfather and the beer it produces. I have a question about the hop schedule. 7 IBU from the bittering hops, 22 IBU from the flavour hops and 7 from the aroma. Could you explain why you suggest that ratio please - i.e. is there a reason why you don't use the bittering hops to produce the highest amount of bittering units? Thanks.

@DavidHeathHomebrew

Жыл бұрын

Great to hear. The schedule of hops is about bitterness , flavour and aroma. The bittering hops have most of their flavour and aroma boiled off, so we rely on late hops for this.

What methods do you use for temperature control during fermentation for small batches?

There are many options. Generally I only need heating, so I use heatbelts. I will add safe objects to stretch the belts on smaller fermenters.

Great to do it like this. I'm a new grainfather user and want to know how to get this recipe in grainfather app. I have no account for brewfather so i can't export it. Is there a way to do it or did you put in grainfather recipies.

Hi Jan and welcome. Two choices really 1) Type it in manually, the full written recipe is supplied in the videos description area, with the Brewfather link. 2) Open a free Brewfather account I would recommend option 2 personally.

Strangely I had already just ordered 5 x 5kg of different base malts, and 5 x 100g different hops. It was as a result of wasting money on awful extract kits. Looks like I may have learned a thing or two watching the channel

@@yannicksimard3412 sorry if I sounded that way. I'm from Yorkshire UK. In Yorkshire we say we have 'learned a thing or two' in a kind of local slang way that means to have respect for someone or something. It absolutely means that I agree with everything you said about David's channel. It was just a light-hearted compliment to the channel.

use brewfather, it calculates it for you after youve input your default values. if you use a commercial system, there is a good chance that your system's specs are already there as an option, waiting to be chosen. Mainly: depends on your efficiency.
