    Great video. Appreciate that you mentioned the PH before adding the dry hops. Since I’ve started paying attention to my PH I’ve noticed the PH when dry hopping has a big impact on flavor and aroma. I feel like this could also be considered a WC Pilsner, if not for the massive dry hop. Sounds awesome!

    Yeah agreed. It's so much work in comparison to a simple fermenter. I bought a Brewtools MiniUni, which only has a top and bottom port. So i can pressure ferment, carbonise, drop hops oxygen free, dump trub and do CIP cleaning without having to dismantle and clean too much.

    Totally agree. I've been brewing for 8 years and have spent a lot on all kinds of set-ups. Scaling back and simplifying is best. For whatever reason, we all seem to have to learn this the hard way! Hopefully newer brewers see this and decide to keep it small and simple to get the most enjoyment out of the hobby. Thanks for the great video.

    It’s so funny how a lot of us tend to go through the same experience. At the same time, I don’t think we would appreciate the simplicity if we haven’t had the “elaborate” system. I do hope people getting into home brewing see this and understand you don’t need nice equipment to make great beer and save some money!

    Miller Lite has nothing to do with Germany. It's not even old world. It was developed in 1967 at a New York brewery. I passed through the hands of a few different breweries under different names until it ended up at Miller brewing and was renamed Miller LIte in the 1970's. It is classified as an American Lager.

    What you can do is two mashes: Do your first mash as normal and then use the wort from your first mash for the second mash, top off second mash with needed water. After both mashed, check gravity and if you want a higher OG/SG, add some Dextrose. I’m not a fan of DME.

    Love the content. I have a Gen 4 120 35L as well. Still dialing it all in. I have a couple of questions for you. Curious if you have tried the David Heath approach with modern boil times of 30 mins with this machine? Also, I'm a hop head as well so just wondering if you have you ever done a Hazy Pale Ale video in the past? Or plan on doing one on this machine in a new video? Thanks!

  • @HopKillerBrewery
    @HopKillerBrewery8 ай бұрын

    Thanks! I haven’t done much looking into short boils, I still do minimum 60 minute boils, if not longer. I find the mash efficiency with adjunct heavy beers (30-40%) tend to be terrible. I’m averaging 58-60% mash efficiency with this system. I don’t mind though, I just add more grain or boil longer to meet the SG needed. Otherwise, with all barley mashes I see the typical 76-80% mash efficiency’s with this unit. I haven’t done a Hazy Pale Ale yet but I sure can add that to the list!

    @@HopKillerBrewery Well, I would have assumed that quality would be the result? You should hear the arguments I have with my German neighbors here regarding the quality of beers being brewed in the U. S. now. Much like the revolution in wines a few years ago, where it was shown that the U. S. produces world class wines, brewers in America are making beers that easily hold up to the best beers brewed anywhere. It's difficult to find U. S. craft beers here, but I see them sometimes.

    We are certainly particular about sourcing the best possible malting quality barley, wheat, rye and oats from family farms in California (and a tiny bit from Washington and Oregon). We think the floor malting process in conjunction with quality cereal grains makes some very tasty malt.
