Great video, i had a 10 year break from brewing and started up about 10 months ago, its amazing how some techniques have changed. Really helpful video, thanks.

Rock on!

I've got a tea urn that i do biab with, but really like the idea of the portable induction hob 👏🏼

Great video, just like the rest! The recipe kit just arrived Did you make the recipe in Brewfather by any chance? Where should I start with the water profile?

I think we did but cant remember fully! We kept it really simple and used our Murphys water report to get the water as close to spec as we could, just using their IPA recommendations

Great video I learnt a lot thanks. My question is you said in the video you cool the wort to 80c before adding the aroma hops. Then you turned on the pump a little and you said now we recirculate and whirlpool. I’m new to the whirlpooling so are you recirculating and whirlpooling at the same time and when do you continue the cooling? Finally you leave it to settle I understand that. Many thanks

So the pump acts as our whirlpool device, rather than using say a paddle to manually spin the wort in the kettle. We did this for 30mins then cut the pump and allowed to stand for another 30mins before we then cooled the finished wort down to yeast pitching temperature and moved into the fermenter. Hope this helps clarify for you 🍻

Great video guys, will you be adding this recipe to your website for sale?

​​@@themaltmiller8438that's great news! I was a bit on the fence about homebrewing but if a BIAB can make a good westy.... blimey! Count me in! Anxiously waiting for the Helles episode though 😂

What is the rack you put over the kettle and place the basket on to let the excess drain into the wort?

@themaltmiller8438

It was two stainless steel mash paddles! We're trying to see about designing a rack for the grain baskets but for now, this works a treat

Excellent video and as always very informative. One question, did you use a yeast starter or was one pack of High Voltage enough to achieve full fermentation and beyond.

Glad you liked this video! One pack was enough 🍻

Hiya - what was the proportion of Munich? I tend to go for about 10%, looks like you've got around 25%? Couldn't pick it up from the video!

You spoke about aromas, it makes me laugh when I see people sniffing beer. Swirl swirl sniff. It's beer drink it.

"West Coast IPA is a beer style many brewers want to start with". Looks like I am not many, as I have never brewed an IPA, let alone a WCIPA. But I like the video and it gives beginners a good insight into what is involved in designing a recipe. It always scared the living daylight out of me but I started simple with a few smashes to get an idea of the hops and the grains used and worked along from here. I did however never take the style guidelines as a law, always as a guide. If a beer is outside the guidelines but I like it, why change it? I don't brew for competitions or commercially, I brew for myself. If I like it, it's a good beer. If others like it too, great. But no skin off my nose if they don't. More for me. The point I'm trying to make is that brewing shouldn't be limited to guidelines. Make what you want and what you like. Hey, when I look at what they sell in craft breweries these days, I'm not sure those beers are covered by style guides. Lemon Cheese Cake IPA? Raspberry and Chocolate Pastry Stout? DDDDDDDHWCIPA? C'mon 😀Brew Beer and enjoy. Listen to the videos and learn.

Absolutely, if you love it then brew it. The goal here is to give new all grain brewers that want to have a stab at trying their own recipes some ways to get going and whilst the BJCP guidelines are most certainly not the only way to go, they do give some good goals for folks to aim towards as they get going on this journey. Glad you enjoyed the video 🍻
