On the no chill method: also keep some wort apart for a starter. Keeping a little bit apart, this volume can cool way faster than the full 20 liters. You can dilute it a bit and use it as a starter. By the time the rest of your batch is at pitching temp the next day, your starter is done. You can pitch the whole thing, since it's the same beer.

Thank you David - lots of useful tips here I plan on incorporating into my brew day. I’m hoping you are planning on producing a video on how to properly ferment with Lalbrew Novalager. I’m excited about this new strain if it will actually produce a legitimate lager fermented at ale temps. The potential for time and energy savings appears to be significant. Again thank you for all your work.

Great video! The only other time saver I know of is spunding so the beer is carbonated prior to transfer. Add in the savings of Co2 refills as well. My tanks have lasted way longer since I started spunding.

Thanks for this. I'm a homebrewer for a year now. I've successfully brewed using full grain, emulsifier and, recently, hard cider from 100% cold-pressed, unpasteurized, apple juice. Everything turned out great. I sanitize the bejeebus out of everything and 'stay within the envelope', so to speak, with respect to the entire process. For someone who couldn't burn a boil egg, I am kinda shocked that I can actually brew beer.

In regard to no chill in Aus, the plastic Jerry cans or 'cubes' available at most big chain hardware stores work a treat. They made implode a little on cooling but its no biggie. You may also have to fiddle with your hop additions a little but most brewing software seems to have a 'no chill' option. Saves a bunch of time.

In regards to faster carbonation, Take you serving pressure and multiply that by 7 days. Then divide that number by two and that's your pressure for the first two days. Bleed the keg of pressure, reduce the co2 pressure to my serving pressure on the regulator and reconnect the keg. So in my case, if I serve at 12psi. 12 x 7 (days) = 84. 84 ÷ 2 = 42 1st two days at 42psi. Bleed the pressure out of the keg, reduce the regulator pressure back down to 12psi, reconnect, and serve. That's what I've been doing for the past few years with no problems.

It depends on the type of plastic. The type used here is made for the purpose.

Thanks for the video. I use a plate chiller. I'll run the pump without the chiller for a bit to ensure hop debris is out of the way then plate chill to 80*c I pull some cool wort at this point for krauzen priming 1L and 0.5 for yeast starting. I don't recommend a plate chiller as they bung easy but have it so ....

Hey Mark, yes I cannot say I am a fan of plate chillers personally but if you have a lot of patience they do work.

Lots of great time saving ideas. This is a little off topic but I am curious. When fermenting a high gravity brew do you recommend the use of pure o2 to help the yeast do it's job? Thanks for all your great videos, a huge help.

Thanks very much for this and all your videos. I imagine overall my time and ingredients saved from disaster due to watching your channel has been significant! Been considering raw beer for a while but seemed to need a very large volume of hops, so was intrigued by the Xmas raw beer recipe with the mini boil of hop additions - could this be applied to any recipe? Would you expect any adjustments to be needed if converting other recipes to this technique please?

@DavidHeathHomebrew

Great to hear George. Yes, it certainly can. The main difference would be making sure that your water volumes account for the lack of boil.

David, first of all... great video! I've learned quite a bit from all of your video's over time. I currently use a Brewzilla G4 and a conical brew bucket that I've modified to run a glycol chiller through for fermentation. Needless to say, I try to be efficient. My question is: How do you feel about the amount of oxygen absorbed by the beer when transferring to a bottling bucket via an autosiphon? I know there are tons of opinions about how pressure transferring is the way to go. How do you reduce oxygen on a budget? If that's something you worry about at all? Thank you!

@DavidHeathHomebrew

Жыл бұрын

Great to hear, many thanks. The best way really is to perform an enclosed transfer using pressure but this does need pressure vessel to pressure vessel. Failing this just be very careful to not splash or foam. So with an auto siphon make sure the end hose it at the bottom of the vessel and well positioned to avoid splashing and foaming. In practise its just a case of some careful planning really.

Hi David: Great stuff as usual. I heard you mention in previous show, hazy IPA/s you mentioned you don't put finings in anymore. I want to start doing that as it's a pain when pressure fermenting. I then want to transfer to the keg for use or bottling later. So, no more finings would suit me fine. Just patience.????
