Brewing a White IPA on BrewZilla Gen 4
Here Andrew aka Gandy has a second go at a White IPA (a fusion of an American style IPA and a Belgian wheat beer). The first brew was a failure due to excessive bitterness but this was on the money with a lovely golden colour, refreshing bitterness, aromatic hop character, sticky orange flavour and peppery nose. It was also our third brew on the BrewZilla Gen 4 and we go into more of the functionality and hardware including the RAPT temperature probe and whirlpool attachment.

Our First Barrel Aged Beer
Переглядів 9596 місяців тому
We've wanted to experiment with barrel ageing for a while as we love big barrel aged imperial stouts. These home brew size 10L oak barrels with a medium char are a perfect starting point. 5 months ago we brewed a highly experimental Christmas pudding and brandy stout as our festive special video and this provided the beer we needed for our first barrel aged home brew experiment. Next time we'll...
Making a Yeast Starter
Переглядів 1,6 тис.6 місяців тому
Making starters for your yeast is a good way to step up your brewing and save money. Pitching healthy, hungry and sufficient yeast cells will greatly improve the quality of your home brewed beer but it will also mean you can pitch large quantities from just one packet of liquid yeast. Here Ed and Tim show how to make yeast starters. 00:00 to 04:10 - Intro 04:10 to 06:10 - Equipment 06:10 to 15:...

Hypersonic Session NEIPA | Grain to Glass in 3 Days!
Переглядів 1,5 тис.7 місяців тому
The latest beer in our Speed Brew Series is this session NEIPA with Sabro, Mosaic and Azacca. It went from grain to glass in just 72 hours by fermenting in the FermZilla Gen 3.2 at 25psi and 35°C using Omega Yeast's Hornindal Kveik. Compared to our first speed brew it was a big step up thanks to the slightly extended deadline (72hrs compared to 60hrs), dry hop with super aromatic and juicy hops...

Black IPA First Attempt on BrewZilla Gen 4
Переглядів 6158 місяців тому
Here Andrew aka Gandy creates a Black IPA recipe and brews it on our BrewZilla Gen 4 35L home brewing system. Results are mixed but promising with various areas we can work on. It appears to be a style that's fairly hard to nail as the key is balancing the hoppy IPA character with the smooth chocolate, caramel and coffee notes of dark malt but without the harshness. We will brew another soon! #...

London Ale III vs WHC Saturated | NEIPA Yeast Test
What a complicated palaver! Minds going back in the box!
Brewing from extract kits is quicker, easier and cheaper if you want to look into that option (assuming you do want to brew your own beers).
Hello there. I'm currently in the fermentation process. Once it's all done I was hoping to bottle it and give it out. Would it be ok to just pour it into bottles after the 4 weeks?
Hi yes that’ll be fine. We recommend ‘cold crashing’ where you put it in the fridge for 2-3 days and then remove the stopper and use a siphon. Work your way from the top of the keg down so you’re transferring the clearest beer rather than the sediment at the bottom. Also, clean and sanitise the bottles and use a siphon where the end reaches the bottom of the bottles. Sounds complicated but you just want to maximise clear beer and minimise bacteria and oxygen ingress. Cheers 🍻
Thank you kindly
You poor in the whole starter? Wort and all?
Nice one guys, I'm considering getting one, any advice you can give before I make a decision would be appreciated now you have had it a while.
After my first BIAB disaster, I'm in the market for a Brewzilla but I'm hesitant to buy in November before any black Friday sales. Anyone know if BZ's go on sale?
Just found your channel, it’s great!
Much appreciated 🍺
I brewed just last Sunday and my airlock has become cloudy since last night. It's a brownish colour, but plenty of bubbles, and some foam around the top of the airlock. Please tell me this is okay?
Interested in the "halo" for recirc / sparging - would it fit inside the grain basket of a Grainfather G30?
What's wrong with the word 'moist' ?
Annoying background music
Going by yeast counts you likely pitched twice as much S-33 viable yeast. Cheers!
by the way that Aussie accent was terrible, it sounded like New Zealand accent lol
How long do you kee the malt at 70 degrees agter the 60 mins?
10 minutes and then move on to sparging
Those "bullet " nuts are called acorn nuts.
Ahh jeez I totally forgot to strain it when i put it the fermenter 😮

Awesome bro 👏 just bought the punk ipa from your website, going to get a stock pot today. Brew day sunday 😊
Brilliant! Let us know how it goes 👌🍺
What's with the spigot. Also looks like you have varnish on the wood
Hey bros, quick question... why the waiting for post fermentation for adding fruit(juices) and extracts? I'm very new to homebrew so I am unsure why you'd want to wait.
The guy has a hand pump and Vaseline, not sure I want to watch this...
It has a very happy ending 🍺
I'm a novice home-brewer. I'm using the plastic 5 gallon bucket kits and I've brewed about 25 gallons so far from mostly kit ingredients. I've gotten the process down enough that I'm comfortable with just buying the ingredients separately and experiment on my own. I've used Nottingham yeast a couple of times and now I'm using the Lallemond Verdant IPA for banana ale with molasses and a mixture of English Malt and Styrian and Fuggles Hops. I really hope it works out well just as it did with your brew. I've neer tried any of the Safale yeast before.
That all sounds excellent! Keep in touch 🍺
I want to make a sweeter nepia any suggestion or video
Add lactose during the boil 15-25g per litre
Very helpful, thanks for the video!
Cheers 🍻
What is the sanitizer in the bottle ? And does it need to be mixed / diluted ? Where can it be bought? I need some but don’t know where to look.
Starsan or other brands, specialize on cleaning these
three idiots
Great video guys, glad I found your channel. I home brew English style beers here in the States and have a beer engine from PINT 365, I use a corny keg, what carbonation should i use with the hand pump. Should I just use priming sugar in keg? And then very light head pressure to keep beer good?? Cheers!
How long were the oak chips in with the beer?
Great video thanks guys. Am ready to hit up the fruit and use the calculators you mentioned in comments. Literally only used vanilla extract when making cream for pancakes. Did you use a whole 40ml bottle for the recipe?
Only 6.5 degrees C above your mash temp for compensating a cold mashtun and the grain interesting. Do you have some calcuator for this specific for the ss mashtun? Or is this tried on experience?
Thanks for the video. The sound was horrid, but still informative.
How many times can the 5l kegs be re used ?
Ahh you make it look so easy and enjoyable haha, might have to buy a kit
Thanks for watching and the kind comment 🍺
I absolutely love a milkshake anything, great looking meat 🥩👍great video as always hi from the future / past again 😂🤣👍🍻
Great vid loved beer masters but an interesting choice of presenter James Blunt but anyhoo really enjoyed it. Love the idea of everything on wheels saving space 👍great video again absolutely back cataloging can’t get enough of the channel 👍🍻
Yeah James Blunt wouldn’t have been our choice at all. We enjoyed it and with a few tweaks it could have been a yearly thing but I doubt it got many views and won’t return 😔 Mike is a lovely guy so we really enjoyed our brew with him. Thanks for watching as always 🍺
Hi am I the only one that has no cooking pots big enough.
Can you ferment for less than 2 weeks? I thought it was going to take 3 weeks,😂
Yeah 10 days is usually sufficient
Can you make a Rotisserie Chicken beer?
Yeah sure, let us know how it goes.
Nice group tasting. Fun time. What type of fermenters are you using? Haven't seen those here in the States. Cheers!
Hi they’re Fermenter King Juniors. Probably the cheapest pressure fermenter available in the UK at around 45 USD 🍺
£40 set to make 5 litres? That's £8/litre. There are sets from other brands for £15 to make 23 litres. That's 10x cheaper per litre 🤣
Correct. How much do you need to spend on equipment to brew 23 litres though?
Decent bit of kit
Certainly is 🍺
I'm going to give this a go very soon. How do you go about measuring the gravity/working out your percentage with adding the fruit halfway through the fermentation like that?
We work out the sugar content in the fruit and use a standard brewing calculator 👍
We made 2 small. Not so lovely but delicious loaves of rustic bread. ☺ since it's whole grain, it fights bad cholesterol. Heart health matters ♥
Made my first (and it won't be my last) brew kit of 'Tribute to Doombar'. I enjoyed the process but my keg is unexpectedly hoppy. Not like Proper Job, more like Black Sheep. I love real ales, but I'm not a flavour expert. So I apologise if that doesn't make sense. I'm wondering what may have caused the bitter-hoppy flavour. I couldn't 'Cold Crash' it because I would have had to empty our refrigerator, it's so small. I've read if it's 'sour' it's gone off, but the air that came out of the top valve when we turned it smelled so good - I can't believe it's gone bad. Any advice?
Glad you enjoyed the process. It shouldn’t be that hoppy, more balanced with fruity and malty character plus spicy bitterness. It has a fairly large hop stand (hops you add at the end of the boil and let sit). Ideally you want to minimise the hop debris that transfers to your fermenter/keg after the hop stand. Or ideally whirlpool (stir it around briskly for a few minutes and then let the debris gather in the centre). Then once cooled gently pour into the fermenter/keg. Cold crashing is definitely worthwhile but shouldn’t affect hoppiness. Next time maybe try adding half the Hops 2 or add them once the wort hits 80 degrees to minimise hop character and bitterness. Thanks 🍺
I've got your Sharks clone in the FV currently. Hoping it delivers some hedge action
😂😂 all beers can deliver some hedge action if you put the time in!
Use Simcoe and centennial for black ipa….really hits the right notes
Nice, will try that on the next one 🍺
Been looking at making a little bar for the garden for socials, this video has given me so many ideas thank lads !
No problem, thanks for watching 🍺
Great brew vlog and looks like your starting to dial in the brewzilla will try the boil settings you used 👍
Cheers matey 🍺 Yeah, we’re definitely getting there with it 👍
Nice work Gandy looks beautiful. Got a great surprise when I found out it was a grain to glass. Love the thumbnail cheers guys 👍🍻
Cheers! Yeah, I was happy with that thumbnail 😂 I hope the great wizard would approve of the brew 🍺 Hope you’re well!
Great to see Sir Gandalf finally nailing a drinkable beer. Wheat beer is not my cup of tea, looks like a urine infection and tastes like a sore throat in a glass (takes me back to that French exchange girl I dated back in the lower sixth), but whatever floats your boat. Has been an excellent series of more traditional beers and well suited for our great British summers. When Labour lie their way into Number 10 later this year I figure that people will be flooding to home brew as we get taxed to high heaven for anything that remotely improves your quality of life. So put your orders in for electric super cars lads as you will soon be coining it in. Who knows, you may earn enough for Gandhi to be able to afford a girlfriend, just keep her away from the videos as we want no repeat of what happened to the Beatles. "Hey Mr Gandhi, sucky sucky five buck"
Anyone who gets into No 10 these days lies their way there, no? What has become of our once great land 😭 Yes, Gandy is well and truly back with this brew - a fine drop. You need to visit our HQ and get a good range of beers down your neck. No more of this ‘not my cup of tea’ nonsense! Variety is the spice of life dear boy, just look at Gandy’s internet history 👀
@@BrewBrosUK I guess I’m just fed up with the identity politics game played by the left, preying on the envy of other’s. My brother lives near Durdledoor in Dorset, not sure if that’s near you? Could deffo plan a visit to your palace of pump perfection when I get down there to see him. He’s also produced some serious brews in the recent past so I don’t think he’d need much persuasion. Got a slight concern that Gandhi may take a swing at me if he finds out who I am …. saying that, he looks like an advert for Brewers Droop so I recon I could hold my own (Orr-err Matron). Ed looks a different proposition after my assumption of familial incest with his daughter. He also has the benefit of significant aerodynamic advantage, whereas my reasonably hirsute pate and double knee replacement may slow me down in the event of him making chase.😬
