Skål from Australia.

Smash beers are a wonderful way for a novice to really get to know the flavor profile of a grain and a hop. Important to not go too crazy with first additions for sure. Normally do a smallish 60 minute charge, a 45 minute and a charge at flameout to get the full range of flavor from the hop in question. Generally use the same procedure, same yeast like the Ferments Safale US-05. Simple flavor profile is good in my book for exploring specific aspects of a base malt and hop combo. Usually do a smaller batch for a fist test-2.5 gal/ 10 liter batch.

I agree on all points, but I think you need a little experience before you try it. Novice, not beginner.

Nice video. Thanks! I just made a Maris Otter and Centennial Smash. 🍻

Thanks, I'M starting to think I should have used the Marris Otter and an Australian Sparkling Ale style. Something for a future video.

Speaking of new things, how's the RO water and brewfather profiling working out? I hope you can taste a difference. My personal experience, best thing I've done for improvement.🇺🇸🍻🇺🇸

Oh I can definitely taste the difference, especially in lagers. They are so much crisper thanks to the RO - and the profiles make it so much easier, on the Brewzilla and the Fermentation Chamber. I just wish I could use profiles on the Glycol system - that may be a suggestion for Kegland to incorporate.

I am just about to do a summer pale ale. A lawn mower beer is a great term for what I’m after. My father in law has requested a beer with lemondrop hops, have you had any experience with that hop before?

I haven't used that hop before, but now I have to try it. I might have to hunt around for it, I don't remember seeing it at any of my local home-brew stores.

I use lemon drop quite a bit for a pale ale/ipa and it's a tasty, nice refreshing beer at 4.5 %. Can share my recipe with you if you like.

I recently got the 100L system and still have my 30L grain father. I’m planning to test the 100L system on a 25L batch and see how it goes thinking I may not need the smaller system anymore. Why is it your preference to use the smaller brewery for a single batch? Thanks

25L is a little small for the 100L, it's quite wide and I'm just concerned that it might cause a drop in efficiency. I kept my 35L system on mainly to use as an HLT for the 100L, but I'll do small batches and test batches in the 35L just because it's there. When I do use it I miss the ability to use profiles and monitor remotely, but it's easier to clean up too.
