Hi, my name is David Heath and welcome to my channel.
My main channel focus is around educational content, often teaching recipe design and various types of techniques.
My main aim with each video is that that there will be at least one thing new learnt.
I am a fully qualified master brewer & I have been brewing beer for over 35 years. Since leaving commercial brewing I have worked as a brewery consultant and in the homebrew industry with retail and wholesale. My current role is for a large homebrew group in Norway, where I service homebrew stores and breweries with products from many manufacturers.
I am also involved in product testing for a handful of companies due to my experience.
This KZread channel, however, is all just me as a private individual, nothing commercial and I am careful to have the vast majority of my content about passing on knowledge.

I read that this conversion doesn't work with Grainfather G30s made after 2022. What are the appropriate parts for G30v3? Thanks

Not seeing LD-20 in brewfather? Maybe Im missing it...
Interesting water profile. Dual yeast. Lots of good info David, Thank you
What's with that pour? It was 2/3rds foam!!
I just brewed my 7th batch on my grainfather and I still refer to this video. Most likely due to my infrequent brewing. But sometimes all you need is the reminder and it comes right back! So thank you so much for this video and the other grainfather videos I've used while getting up so speed. Loving the system and liking forward to the batches I continue to brew! Cheers! 🍻
Great to hear Brent 🍻🍻🍻
David is the Gold Standard for home brewing videos! I'm brewing a Czech style pilsener tomorrow...my first 30 minute boil. Thanks David.
Thank you so much, awesome to hear 🍻🍻🍻
Thank you very much. Thank you. I have to say that I'm a novice meaning I have no experience and no knowledge of equipment like this and other knowledge. Could it be easier that one of you people that do this that actually can actually go through each style of the equipment that the person would use? Okay with all the tanks and all the different varieties but have them in one video each like the first one. The ball lock. That's the first video explaining everything. The second video I have no idea but it's really confusing for me because I don't know anything. Is there any way to actually get information easier out to the public? And I really do appreciate your diagram and your explanation. Thank you again, I appreciate it a lot. Thank you
Hey Kevin, no problem. I have you covered there with a series of videos that cover everything you need to know when starting out, including about equipment. Here is the playlist link:- kzread.info/head/PLeY07JqsrXM_biHp7Y3xIB7TnAY6Ru7pE&si=b64bJShxyKZfgKe2
Thank you very much. I've been really confused. I needed help. But nobody has actually explained the equipment and tools and the knowledge and I thought that everybody would be doing that. And I was going to actually contact another person that does what you do and see if they would do it. But you beat me to the punch by explaining about the spending valve so I figured that's better than nothing. At least you started somewhere where everybody else didn't even start anywhere. They just started talking about both units at the same time which is even more confusing because well for some people it's all jumbled up for other people. It's not but for me it is all jumbled up. I don't want to accidentally purchase something and what I have at home is totally different or I try to go on to like buy the item and then find out I wasted money on it. I don't want to do that
Great to hear Kevin. Not many cover the basic stuff these days because they do not get many views but for me this is part of my hobby and passion, not a business and I really want to support those that need help getting started. I hope you find the content answers all your questions but if not then feel free to ask 🍻🍻🍻

Update: Brewed 19th April, Conditioning 26th April. Initial tastes after a couple of weeks, it was a bit 'harsh', clearly needing longer. Served to friends last week (20th June), it is absolutely perfect. Definite honey on the nose, rich and complex taste. Goes really well with some cheese! Classic barley wine, really. I think my final ABV was 10% - definitely a sipping beer.🎉
Thank you very much for coming back on this, very much appreciated. Sounds to me like you nailed it 🍻🍻🍻
Nice video - what is the desired effect of the co-pitched yeast?
Thank you. Verdant provides aroma and flavour, where as Cali provides a higher attenuation rate. This was necessary otherwise the FG is too high and the taste is not as good.
I made my first NEIPA recently and after the initial hop burn faded ( 3-4 days ) I noticed my hop aroma and flavour very quickly dissepated in the keg, why could that be? I finished up the ferm with spunding and dry hopped under co2, purged kegs completely before transfer etc
Temperature and carbonation level can play a key role here. Ideally you want to be tasting at temps of at least 7 deg c. A weak carbonation will not carry flavour as well. How is the beers look?
@@DavidHeathHomebrew the color was a nice yellow haze, i fermented within range, I soft crashed before dry hopping (big charge of lupomax) before transfer to keg i purged the keg (filled with starsan and pushed out with co2) transferred with co2 and then keg was kept at 12psi. it took 3-4 days for the hop burn to fade and now after a week the hop aroma and flavour is very reduced
It could be the onset of Oxidation or temperature
@@DavidHeathHomebrewi just realised my inkbird was set to 0.7c!
That would do it! Cold Temperature hides flavour.

Have been trying to create the same budget friendly juicy NEIPA myself, with varying success. Really looking forward to trying this, thanks so much for your great work.
Great, I hope this one inspires you. It took quite a lot of changes including water profile.
Very nice brewday and recipe! Could you comment a bit more on the water profile? I saw you suggested a high sulfate-to-chloride ratio. Isn't the opposite standard for NEIPAs?
Good point. I did some experiments water profile wise and found that myself and others enjoyed the profile shared better for this recipe. It still tastes 100% NEIPA but it helps bring the hops out more.
Congratulations. As a finicky Belgian, I must say I liked your 2021 recipe for a Belgian tripel very much. Maybe it'll even be better with this fabulous Grainfather electric grainmill. Only one way to find out: 6) Grainfather C
Thank you, very much appreciated. Best of luck with those prizes 🍻🍻🍻
Hi David - this looks like something I'd like to try. You mentioned using Safale US05 - is that instead of the Verdant or the White Labs? And would you change the fermentation temperature? It's just that I've got a few packets of it to use so this might be an opportunity ...
Hey Simon, verdant provides the flavour and aroma and Cali provides the extra attenuation. US05 would be good instead of Cali as it also provides higher attenuation and a neutral flavour. Temps remain the same 🍻🍻🍻
@@DavidHeathHomebrew Great, thanks!

Das war genau, was ich gesucht habe. Vielen Dank!
Great to hear, enjoy 🍻🍻🍻
Thanks for another informative recipe video. I wonder why your water profile has a higher sulphate to chloride ratio though? I’ve always thought that NEIPAs should have the opposite ratio to enhance mouthfeel and reduce bitterness. Cheers!
This decision was made based on taste. The profile used brings the hops forward more and yet still tastes 100% a NEIPA.
I had no idea White Labs yeasts had become available in dry form. My local HBSs don't stock them yet, though, and they still look a bit overpriced 🤔
Its been available since last year 🍻🍻🍻
Hi David. Big thanks for another great recipe. Quick question: I ferment under pressure in a 6 gallon keg and don’t have much headspace. Would having 2-3 psi pressure out of the gate still work well? The reason: keep krausen overflow from ruining my day 😊
Great, thank you. I would be included to ferment a bit less volume and then not use pressure when it isnt desired. For this recipe you really want no pressure for the first 3-4 days to allow the yeast flavour and aroma to fully come through.
I use 5 psi on all my brews in a fermzilla simply as a means to keep oxygen at bay. I then bump it up to 10 or so during cold crash to help start carbonation and to avoid negative pressure that cold crashing will do if you are not careful.
@@KenLovesCraftBeer The trouble is you are then suppressing the esters of the yeast. Thats no issue if intended but when using yeast like Verdant you will be missing out on some of the aroma and flavour.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew I wouldn't have thought a low psi of say 5 or so would be enough to affect the esters? Or maybe I could go a little lower if necessary...
Sorry David but one cannot call (approx) 13 oz of hops 'Budget Friendly'
It's at the lower limit for the amount of hops for this beer style, which is simply an expensive style to brew...🤷🏼♂️
Hi Peter, for this style this is budget friendly. The concept being you get a true NEIPA.
Hi Josh, yes exactly. 🍻🍻🍻
I just brewed a recipe very similar to this. Slightly different malt bill but same hops (I just went 1:1:1 in small late boil, hopstand [70c, 7.5g/l, 25min], and dry hop [13c, 13.9g/l, 48hrs]) and Verdant yeast. This combo of hops is a winner for sure. Why did you go for malted oats and wheat rather than flaked? Have you tried a NEIPA style recipe with NZ hops? Would definitely be interested in seeing that if you have.
Yes, ive been doing a lot of experimentation and this represents my favourite this year. I prefer using malted oats more than flaked. However they are quite similar, so as such if you prefer flaked then go that way. I like the haze from the malted type especially.
Best of luck with the future of the channel. 1. Anton Paar (B) 2. Brewbuilt (C) 3. Brewfather (B) 4. Brewtools (A) 5. Fermentis (B) 6. Grainfather (C) 7. Hop Control (B) 8. Kegland (A) 9. Kegland (A) 10. Kegland (A) 11. Lallemand (A) 12. White labs (A)

Recipe copied will be brewing for next batch
Great, enjoy 🍻🍻🍻
Not using the hop rocket for this one :)
Not this time no. I highly recommend it but at the same time do not want to put it in peoples faces the whole time.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew It would be interesting todo a split brew
7% is pretty punchy, especially as summer approaches a lower abv would be prefered for an evening beer or two. What would you suggest for getting this closer to 5% without compromising too much on the result?
Yes but the NEIPA style is on the higher ABV side generally. No problem though you could go down to 5%. Here is a guide on how to do that for the best result:- kzread.info/dash/bejne/i5ptvJOLe8-bnaw.htmlsi=EmGOU7q2Zg5nKVRj
Hi David, once again, a great video. I have one query though. I have a Blowtie from KL with the Soda bottle adapter on a bottle to be a bubbler of sorts to give me indication of fermentation activity. I have mine connected in a very similar way to how yours is displayed in the video. With my set up I have had to fit a ball lock connector onto the third outlet of the Soda bottle adapter so as to allow the C02 to escape and not pressurise the bottle. If the ball lock post is left without a method for the gas to escape it just pressurises the Soda bottle. I hope you may understand my description or maybe I have missed something in how yours is set up. Cheers.
This has always simply worked for me, yours is the first comment of this type. Could it be that you have the bottle fixed super tight?
@@DavidHeathHomebrew yes David you are correct. The bottle is tight on my set up. I use a ball lock fitting to release the gas but I can also fit another tube to that ball lock and use the C02 to purge another keg etc.. My apology for going off on a tangent from the Spunding valves.👍
@@geoffdickinson1310 Whatever works is good 🍻🍻🍻
@@DavidHeathHomebrew 🍺🍺👍
Great video! When did you begin the pressure fermentation? Immediately after the dry hop addition? Thanks!
Thank you 🍻🍻🍻 You can add pressure after day 3 as by then the flavour and aroma will be in place.
Boy my last neipa hop/grainbill sure was spendy
Yes, they sure can be! Its well worth the time optimising.
When preparing your hops for dry hping like that David do you pour out the sanitizer before dropping the hops into the bag?..Do the hops make contact with the sanitizer?..Sorry if a silly question
Hey, no problem. Remove the sanitizer, foam is ok though 🍻🍻🍻
question. I am looking to brew a batch. Ball park how long will this last in a corny keg, chilled under 12psi but connected to a beer tap? I know it depends how quick I can drink it.... but seriously how many weeks have I got after conditioning?
Great, if you follow a good process then up to one year. This tastes great very early too.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew made most of your recipes from brewfather all turned out amazing. Thanks you really help the community and level up our brews. I owe you many beers if your ever in northeast UK.
I would switch the 30 min time saving to the mash instead of the boil to limit risk of creamed corn dms taste you sometimes get in rushed NEIPAs. Also a trick to get more even sparge is put foil over top and poke holes in and pour the water on this foil rather than direct into grains where it can just pour straight through the bed.
There is really no risk these days of DMS from short boils. SMM levels are at an all time low to the point where it is of no concern at all. Many breweries and homebrewers have gone this way without issues at all. This video covers this very well:- kzread.info/dash/bejne/fH1ouritd8fIn5c.htmlsi=RDmUuJcJ-PppvBp-
Pouring through a 'slotted spoon' (a kind of ladle with lots of small holes in it) works a lot better than foil...
@@joshbuhl9824 I guess it really depends on your set up if you need such measures.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew it's just no extra effort to pour the sparge water thru the slotted spoon and it makes a nice 'shower' with no tunneling, so why not? 🍻
@@joshbuhl9824 Sure, fair point! 🍻🍻🍻
Thanks for all your videos. Learning a lot from all of this (just posted a question and then found out why I couldn't grasp the differences... 😂). Anyhow, thanks to all your videos I have a full on game plan to brew my first all grain pale ale with my brand new B40 WiFi. Keep it up! 😁😁
My pleasure Tim, Enjoy 🍻🍻🍻
@@DavidHeathHomebrewI meant to ask, with only an Immersion Chiller at hand, how would you recommend I do the whirlpool and cooling? Put IC in last 10-15 minutes of boil, cool to whirlpool temp. and whirlpool while keeping the IC in and then cool to yeast temp? Or take it out and put it back in to cool and then whirlpool again for trub cone? I'm a bit in the dark here. Thanks for your insight! :)
Have to trye it however after the Lallemand recepi wit pomona yeast, I looked for the yeast but was only abel to finde 0,5 Kg, bit to much for me 😀 Thank you for sharing you are beautiful and good tasting recipes and thank you for your time and effort, it is highly appreciated❤
Thank you 🍻🍻🍻It works great with Verdant as part of a co-fermentation. This recipe was worked on before I got Pomona but I suspect that Pomona will work. I have two Pomona recipes coming once the sachets are close to release or are with us.
The water profile doesn't look like a NEIPA profile where you usually have a higher chloride to sulphate ratio. Any reason you ve done this? Cheers
Well spotted. Taste testing revealed a nicer result with the profile used. I suggest trying both in time to see what you think but I had 10 people prefer the shared profile.
@DavidHeathHomebrew interesting! Thanks for the reply. Recipe looks good, not sure I'll brew it back to back with different water profiles, too many other beers to try 😂🍻
Also noticed this. But if you’re cutting hops/cost then a hoppy profile is needed to push hops to the max. What do you lose? Mouthfeel?
I had the same question. Usually see at least a 2:1 chloride to sulfate ratio for this style. All preference!! I’d imagine the oats contribute enough to the mouthfeel and one might not even notice the chloride level. Time to experiment
@rfox2014 Exactly 🍻🍻🍻
Thats quite a low mash temperature for a NEIPA, do you prefer them a bit drier and lower FG than typical to style?
Yes, this was a taste panel preference. Note the use of co-fermentation too for a lower FG.
Te quiero hacer una pregunta no vi en la receta cuales son los valores del agua para esta receta?
Esto está incluido en el vídeo de la sección de agua.
I believe David uses standard Brewfather profiles for the appropriate type in most instances. Edit: He shows it at 2:20
