I thought about doing cocoa nibs in fermenter but it was chocolately enough for me, but totally give it a try. Not sure why yours lost richness either 😕

Black Forest cake is really good and I I'm sure this beer was amazing, but I have always been a sucker for a carrot cake and personally a Hummingbird cake is way better than a Red velvet cake any day. The cake that is an mind feck is the Campbell's Tomato soup spiced cake with the chocolate butter cream frosting. You would never think spiced cake with tomato soup and chocolate butter cream frosting would actually be good much less amazing.

Thank you for your amazing tutorials. you are one of my favorite beertubers out there! :) just one question since i am about to brew my own pastry stout soon. isnt the IBU of 53 a bit high for a pastry stout? when you tasted that beer did you feel it was well balanced? and if how is that? i mean i can think of the yeast having a lower attenuation for more rest sugar since you didnt use any lactose.

@TheBruSho

Great video (as always)! You inspired me to put together a Chocolate pastry stout so that I can use my next beer's yeast cake. Hypothetically, if you leaned on bottle conditioning this beer, would you have added any fresh yeast? Seen a bunch of advice on adding yeast to the bottles individually, or adding to the fermenter right before bottling, and curious your thoughts.

TY! I've never had to add extra yeast to get bottle conditioning to work, as long as you add the right amount of sugar and can wait 2 weeks, it should be fine! I don't think even a big beer like this would matter, but could be wrong

what about using malt extract and then steeping grains ? so it is easier ?

I love your videos, and was just talking about a black forest cake stout that I wanted to try to create a couple of weeks ago and this come up! I have one question though about this (and your other creations...) You say you use 4% of cherry juice in the total grain count of 30lbs. Does that mean 4% of 30lbs or is there a different measurement for the juices? Confuses me for when I'm trying to add it to Brewfather.

Dude! The way you do the reiteration mash, supper smart. I’ve never done a pastry stout but I’m def going to try this! General question around using the hop spider: do you notice a difference in using it vs just throwing them into the wort? I’ve noticed some weaker hop characteristic when I use a hop spider or hop bag vs just throwing them in; especially with dry hopping. Do you notice a difference or is it not enough to really think about? Cheers!

Hey I have a question about beer. I make cider and wine and I always degass them, even if I’m going to carbonate because the gasses can have a bit of an off flavor. I don’t really see people degass beer, regaurdless of kegging or not. I know it might be stupid to ask but you don’t have to degass beer do you? Or do you?? Lol

@TheBruSho

Жыл бұрын

Hey thats a great question! Short answer is no you don't degas beer, mainly because oxidation can ruin the beer after fermentation (stale flavors, muted hop character, and sickly sweet finish). So ideally the beer never touches the air, and you go straight to carbonating with co2.

I threw these numbers into Brewfather and it appears your yeast cake severely under performed the expected attenuation of a correct pitch of US-05. Is this something you do a lot? With the right amount of yeast I'm curious how close you would've been to the expected 11%+ and how that extra booziness would've meshed with the other ingredients. I might have to try this one out.
