Using PRESSURE FERMENTATION to BEAT THE HEAT! [and save on CO2]

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Extreme hot weather, lack of CO2, how are we expected to brew beer like this? Well I have a way to take care of both those issues and brew up a crispy Italian Pilsner and then infuse it with limoncello for the ultimate thirst quencher to beat the heat!

    Sounds like a tasty twist on the Italian pilsner! I just recently finally got to set up a keg for pressure fermentation using a cut dip-tube, probably will upgrade to floating at some point depending on how it works out. I've got a wine going in that now which I'll transfer to a carboy for bulk aging, then I can see how much yeast is left at the bottom by the cut length vs if any gets pulled to resettle in secondary. Do my troubleshooting on the dip tube length now then next month once room temperature cools to the low 70's consistently it's time to do a first pressure lager!

    Another great video Trent! Also enjoy your simplicity and creativity. I had a gut feeling though that soon your videos would feature the Clawhammer system. Now they have sponsored pretty much all the big channels we watch. The DIY approach and simple home brewing will now kind of disappear on these channels and be all cookie cutter brews. I'm sure you will still feature your old system because I think you like that style as well (hopefully). The others, The Apartment Brewer (Steve), Flora Brewing, The Homebrew Challenge, etc will probably feature nothing but Clawhammer. More power to them. I will probably get a system some time in the future, but who knows. Again, great job as always...Chris

    @@TheBruSho It's actually a pretty simple recipe. Find the strongest alcohol you can. I use 95%/190 proof. I can get that in Georgia. But peel/grate/zest lemons like you do. I use a micro grater. Put your peel in the alcohol. I usually do about 15 lemons for 500 mls/ 1 pint of ethanol. Let that sit for at least 2 weeks, three is better. When the peels look washed out and almost white, make up an equal amount of simple syrup in a 1:1 ratio of sugar and water. So a pint of water and a pint of sugar. Heat it just enough to melt the two together. Strain the peels out of the ethanol, which should be a nice golden color, mix it with the simple syrup, and freeze. Well, make it cold. That's not gonna freeze at roughly 43%/86 proof. It's rocket fuel at room temp but smooth as all get out cold.
