If you are completely new to brewing, it can seem daunting to jump into brewing all grain, but that's where Partial Mash brewing comes into play! Partial mash is the perfect in between of extract and all grain and it really doesn't involve a ton of equipment beyond what you have at home right now. And to show you how easy partial mash brewing can be I am whipping up an Apricot Wheat beer recipe that's about as simple as it gets and is extremely delicious!

Gotta say, I really appreciate metric conversions for all us non-Americans.
Good looking beer Trent! I agree extract with steeping grains can produce some great beers and it’s much simple when first starting out.

For sure, might throw it into the mix every now and then, but really full BIAB is not too much more work
I've made my first partial mash brew in a bag thanks to your videos Trent, thanks. It's made with a coopers ipa LME tin, 500 grams of dried hopped malt extract, 1kg of brewing sugar and 50g of citra hops for dry hopping, also the yeast is kveik yeast, that stuff is a beast. Cheers for all the great help

Any sort of sterilizing of dried fruits? Or just taking them from bag to beer (in sterile bag)??
Good stuff! One of my better tasting beers when I first started brewing was a partial mash. It was definitely a deciding factor into going all grain.

How long did you leave the apricots in the keg
HOME BREW BAGS ____BUY AT PAINT SHOPS USED TO STRAIN PAINT USUALLY BUY 3 BAGS IN A BOX DIRT CHEAP THEY COME WITH A ZIP ---IF YOU THINK THE HOLES ARE TOO BIG JUST PUT ONE BAG INSIDE ANOTHER
There's a commercial apricot wheat that's amazing I would get at Fort Hood Texas. It was made by Pyramid, came with a layer of yeast in the bottom of the bottle. I'll say super cold it's amazing after cutting grass or chilling on the porch while grilling.

Hey Trent, great video! I currently have a 5 gallon partial mash wheat ale fermenting and plan to add Vintner’s Harvest cranberry purée for a Thanksgiving Cranberry Wheat Ale and I’ll be bottling the beer. Do you happen to have any advice on when to add the purée to the beer or should it be added to the fermentation 2-3 days before bottling as shown in your video? Thanks a lot! Cheers!
@TheBruSho
2 жыл бұрын
I would add it just as fermentation is wrapping up. Then give it another 3-5 days to let it ferment out completely before moving onto bottling. You really want to be sure fermentation is done before moving to bottle conditioning.
If racking beer with fruit straight in the keg do you ever then pull out the fruit or just leave it in there?
@TheBruSho
2 жыл бұрын
I usually just leave it there so I don’t worry about oxidizing my beer. But the one thing to note is that the fruit will add sugars back into the beer so it will be sweet for a bit before fermenting again and then becoming not sweet anymore. So you could always put the fruit in your fermenter to do that before kegging if you want
Do you think you’ll ever switch to a 3 tier brewing system or a all in one system or stick to BIAB?
@TheBruSho
2 жыл бұрын
I think I’ll probably stick to BIAB. If anything might upgrade to eBIAB if I have the space and ability. I just enjoy it too much to switch. But maybe I’ll do 3 tier for a video one day
This sounds really good, any suggestions on doing this recipe all grain instead of partial mash?

Just use 2-row or pilsner in place of DME. Google grain bill calculator to build your recipe.

Check out my Watermelon Wheat video, is basically the same recipe, just using all grain and watermelon instead.
Loved the production. Unfortunately I'm not a wheat beer guy nor am I crazy about Apricot. But this is a great vid for partial mashing beer. Great job once again Trent.

@TheBruSho I’m looking to brew this at 5 gallons. Do I just double the ingredients? And the yeast, how much do I use for 5 gallons? You said half of the packet for yours but I have no idea on how much one packet has. Thanks in advanced.
@TheBruSho

I’d say input the recipe into a brewing software or recipe builder (there are free ones) and then hit the scale recipe function. It will give you the best amounts, including yeast. But the quick and lazy way is to just double everything
I thought I was an extract brewer, but apparently I'm a partial mash guy. LOL Great video!

Question, if you went and picked fruit from an orchard, cut it down and freeze it, when you unthaw it do you need to use a campden tablet to it if you're adding it to the secondary ferment? Really don't want to contaminate my brew with wild yeast and bacteria that still might survive the washing and freezing process.
@oliverwalton5191

A campden tablet and potassium metabisulfate can both be used to make yeast sterile. Simply boiling the fruit for a few mins is also a surefire way to kill off any microbes!

@@oliverwalton5191 I second what Oliver said, either way will work, and to answer your question, yes I would pasteurize the fruit some way especially if you are using hand picked fruit.

I appreciate the SMaSH recipe, but I'm curious, why would someone (especially a beginner) brew a partial mash like this, vs all grain? I almost feel like all grain would be easier, and I'm not sure one would produce more flavor than the other. Forgive my ignorance!
@TheBruSho
2 жыл бұрын
I was more thinking if you've never brewed with grains this could be a great jumping off point. But I agree that doing a full BIAB batch is not much more work. My hope really is for people to do less extract only batches and try and step things up a bit.
