I’ve brewed a citra lager with nova lager yeast. This is the first time I’ve brewed using my normal pilsner recipe with nova lager yeast. Will it taste the same or will the lack of conditioning and higher temp fermenting affect the taste? Come along and let’s see 🍻

Great video and love the excitement in your content! I used to Nova Lager yeast once. The sweetness I had was a bit of a red apple (like it stated on their website) which I didn’t like. Maybe I will give it another try 😊
@@zeddicus1980 ahh red apple, you have a great palette. Thank you so much for the lovely comment cheers 👍🏼🍻
Your knowledge is absolutely awesome and even though I have the most basic basic understanding on how beers made , you really make me understand how much of an art it really is and I’d love to be able to brew . Maybe when I’ve finished the work on the house in 2036 I’ll give it a go . The beer looks amazing on the first look . I’m commenting as I watch . Wow , the beer in the bigger glass looks absolutely stunning, and I love the natural carbonation. The mouth feel always shows it . OMG I want a pint of that beer 😋. . The Saaz hops are stunning . I love a great pilsner and this sounds beautiful. Great great video and glad you got in the garden . 💪🏻👌🏻😃
@@thespencerarms2022 I love a pilsner and didn’t realise how hard they are to brew ( no where to hide any flavour that shouldn’t be in it however subtle ) but I feel I’m getting the hang of it now. Some Speno beers in the Spencer arms that would be super cool. I know the pain of working on houses done a few up myself always a job to do. Cheers for watching and commenting 👍🍻
you are making me dizzy mate, stand still, stop walking back and forward, great video by the way
Good to see you do a non homebrew review. Clarkson bought a lighthouse house many years ago on the isle of man and blocked a public right of way, 3 years later the manx public drove him out of town never to be seen again😂. 😊 beers seem ok in general , cheers pal🍺👍
Great reviews👍 I didn't realise they produced so many beers, I have only sampled the cider so far which was excellent😋
@@RichardHill-bi5le thanks for the kind words and the support. I really enjoyed the range cheers 👍🏼🍻
Great video Rick just started drinking myself as I was watching. Had a Verdant IPA although I do have one of my own on tap which I think is better😂😂😂 Niw about to open a mixed berry cider which My Mrs made. Cheshire Dave gave me a kit to make so the wife made it and we sharing with him, 20 bottles each. I for one am guilty in not trying more commercial beers but I tend to drink Woodside Brewery beers as they are cheaper and I know the bloke who makes them. Infact come to think of it he looks a bit like me😂😂😂
@@Dts1953 lol I love Homebrew much more than most commercial beers but on the other hand still like trying other beers cheers 👍🍻
Once again you’re making me thirsty! Great video! 🍻
@@gamndoodbrewing8636 lol sorry 🤣😂👍🍻
Cheers for the reviews Rick! Was wondering if they were all about the hype, might give them a go now!🍺👍
I found them pretty decent cheers 👍🍻
Rick it's great to see you doing this review, I personally would like to see more of your thoughts on commercial beers 🍻
@@MrBsHomebrewsandBeerReviews then I’ll do some more cheers for the comment and the continued support 👍🍻
Would of took me a day to review all these 😂😂😂
@@thespencerarms2022 🤣😂lol that’s because your an in-depth professional beer reviewer unlike me cheers 👍🍻
@@BrewabitRick lol a waffler 😂
@@thespencerarms2022 I’m just watching you pulling out a caterpillar made of cake where’s this going 😂🤣
Great to see you doing a review, especially of these beers that are really out there . I’ve not tried them but I really want to . Great video mate . Loved it 😊 The ipa sounds quite nice. Think I’ve tried the pills . It was a gift and for my sins I was half cut so can’t really remember. Cheers Rick . Speno
@@thespencerarms2022 cheers I’m sure you’d do a better job your a legend 👍🍻
@@BrewabitRick cheers mate , but you brew beer so your reviews are great , but thanks for the love 🤗😃
Great vid again, nova lager yeast is absolutely on my list of next to brew. One I'm missing as the sun comes out is a crisp homebrew lager in keg or even bottle for the garden bar... I have got a mixed berry philly sour to get through though so could do the job 😂
@@jamiesmancave The yeast is amazing. You definitely need a pilsner or kölsch in for summer. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼🍻
Thanks Rick, enjoyed the vid!
Wow sounds amazing. Still not used that yeast yet, have a ton of Hell to get through first. Sexy saaz though, oh suits you sir.
@@BigBananaBrewing I’m loving the beer indeed 👍🏼🍻
At least the pear isn’t the most dominant flavour still looks like a great beer, I recently got a lucky dip hop from the malt miller as it was cheap Ekuanot will be doing a Smash with it, on your suggestion i checked the flavour profile so i know what I’m getting in to. Cheers 🍻
That looks and sounds like a cracking pilsner. Cheers 🍻
@@PatsBrewery I’m loving it cheers 👍🍻
Great update, looked a great beer and I don't like too much carbonation 👍. Stay safe and well, SIR, cheers, Schnuz.
@@Schnuz ahh ! Thanks for watching and commenting pleased you enjoyed the vid you k now I’m a BIG fan of your channel 👍🏼🍻
Cracking video Rick and stunning beer! I love the Nova Lager yeast and will use it again in my next lagers. Love to all the family❤️
@@Dts1953 cheers hope you guys are well 👍🏼🍻
That's a lovely looking beer. I've been thinking about doing a Nova Lager or two myself lately. You've reinforced that now.... Good to see you got some sun outside eventually. It really has been a fickle summer this year.
It has and today it’s boiling. You’ll love the yeast cheers 👍🍻
Rick your a absolute legend so entertaining always look forward to the vlogs happy brewing mate .
Ahh cheers m8 what lovely words really makes it all worth it cheers 👍🍻
Absolutely stunning mate. I'm with you. Love Novalager. I can't wait to be using it some more once we get out of our Winter. Cheers 🍻
👍🍻
Enjoyed the video Rick, cheers 🍻 can’t beat saaz
Cheers glad your enjoying the vids 👍🍻
Wow that lager looks in great nick, lovely colour....the old weather doesn't half bugger up plans sometimes😂 cheers Rick👍😊🍺
@@SlurpyDave254 now it’s too hot for me at the moment 😂🤣loving the lager cheers 🍻👍🏼
Awe you had me at Nova Lager lol. Anyway looks like a fantastic beer. It has a nice colour for just pilsner malt - which one did you use? Cheers 🍻
@@G-townbrewer it was floor malted and I can’t for the life of me remember. You have to remember I’m not a professional UA-camr like yourself I’m super slack 😁PS . that definitely wasn’t a dig you know I’m a MASSIVE fan of yours 👍🏼🍻
@@BrewabitRick haha no I was a having laugh mate i appreciate any tips I can get. Love the vids and you are WAY more professional than me, I’m just winging it for a bit of fun. Was the malt the Weyermans floor malted stuff maybe?
@@G-townbrewer more than likely got it from crosmyloof a great company to deal with 👍🏼🍻
@@BrewabitRick ah interesting that’s the one I used on my last pilsner which looked a lot lighter than yours. Maybe the yeast?
Lovely and perfect for the two sunny days we'll have this summer. Used nova a couple of times and impressed with it. The last brew I did half in an all rounder under pressure and half not under pressure and couldn't tell the difference. Have just done a bit of a Big Banana type Hells under pressure with Citra and Zappa so looking forward to seeing how the Hells yeast compares to the Nova lager.
Sounds interesting great to hear from someone that’s tried it not under pressure cheers 👍🍻
I’ve just done my second pilsner with nova lager which is almost the same recipe as your own, I used some magnum for bittering and two more additions of saazer. I have brewed this at a higher temperature this time at 18c rather than 10c and think this one is cracking. Great content as always Rick
@@Tuber2146 thanks appreciate the kind words. I’m definitely loving the yeast it’s a cracker cheers 👍🏼🍻
Cool great description of the brew ! Smooth sailing!!🍻
@@CaptainBailey4007 cheers captain ⚓️👍🏼🍻
Ive only used nova once and had an absolute disaster with it, but actually that was the brew days fault rather than the yeast. Gonna have to give it another shot some time. One of the shots of your fermentation i near bricked myself looked like your PSI was off the scale 😂😂 Im a big fan of Saaz in lager/pils in fact its pretty much all i use, previously i had messed about with hallertau and all that jazz. Am i right in thinking Novalager is one of those hybrid yeasts that you cant/shouldnt wash/recover from the beer? Anyway great video mate as per usual.
@@audleybrewco hay buddy thanks for watching and commenting. I’m actually not sure if you can wash nova lager yeast I haven’t personally. Feel rest assured I keep a keen eye on my pressure mostly 😃think it’s my ocd I also check the taps are turned off, the door is locked and fridge doors shut like a million times 😂cheers buddy 👍🏼🍻
I've just done my first brew with nova lager yeast and was amazed to see it starting to ferment within 24hrs even at 10deg! Looking forward to sampling it soon😋
@@RichardHill-bi5le as I said my second time using it and I absolutely love it 👍🏼🍻
How did you set your spunding valve? I've not brewed with Nova lager under pressure before.
@@JimFosterVO I let it carb up naturally then set the pressure. To be fair it was set from the last brew 😀
@@BrewabitRick Ok. I've used Nova Lager once unpressurized for a Mexican lager....turned out amazing. Going to try again with pressure to self carb.
Great update and that beer looked top! what about a pair of apples 🤔 🤣? I think that pickled herring might be worse in a beer 🤔, it would be OK with a beer but not in it 🤣. Stay safe and well, SIR, cheers, Schnuz.
@@Schnuz love apples just done my first cider ( vid out soon ) no fish in my beer 😂🤪
@@BrewabitRick 🤣
Ha ha , love it 👌🏻😀
I have pears everyday so this could be right up my street . Beer does look really good . Love it Rick Not really had pear taste in any beer so far . I’ve had peach from the galaxy hop as it mellows and develops over time in a drink . . Cheers . Speno 💙
@@thespencerarms2022 you’ll definitely like this if you like pears if you get pears 👍🏼🍻
Very interesting video . I had some everards old original that was nearly 2 years out of date and it was beautiful. Think sometimes some beers need time to develop . Cheers mate 🍻
Cherry stout mmmmmm
Smoked mackerel on toast with some sriracha is my idea of a good time. El Dorado is a hop I've used a few times and I've never quite worked it out. Sometimes it was great and sometimes the opposite. Not one I used regularly.
@@BigBananaBrewing I love Sriracha but I don’t think even a bottle would cover up the taste of the mackerel 🤪😂🤣
Love a nice pair! 👀 🍻
@@harmanbrewing7517 🤣😂👍🏼🍻
Oh mate, I'm really sorry. All that work and looks stunning only to find a flavour that you dont like. What a shame. Maybe add some cloudy lemonade to drink in the garden when the suns out, might take away the Pear. Cheers again Rick keep em coming \_/
@@CreweWolfCraft I’m living with it it’ll be ok luckily it’s not overpowering cheers 👍🏼🍻
Great video as usual. Sounds like this one is beyond re-pear! Cheers 🍻
@@G-townbrewer lol 😂🤣👍🍻
Sounds good that mate! Never tried El Dorado on its own but this might of tempted me 🍻🍻 cheers 🍻
@@TankardBrewing only if you like pears 🍐buddy cheers 👍🏼🍻
@@BrewabitRick love em mate! Why I want to brew it 🍐🍐🍻🤣
Great video Rick and highly interesting👍 I have not had much success with SMASH beers over the years but I can see the appeal and information they give to us home brewers not to mention the economic benefits to commercial brewers. As for Eldorado I have used it many times but quite simply I think it’s better mixed with other hops rather than on its own. Only my opinion and others may disagree but it’s what I have experienced personally. All the best mate I wish I could get the enthusiasm to do another video soon . I am brewing an English IPA on Sunday ( my recipe ) so am excited as to how it will turn out😂. Love to you and the family Rick👍👍👍
@@Dts1953 I agree not sure about it on its own but that’s how you learn. Hope you get a video out soon you know I’m a big fan. Cheers 👍🏼🍻
I saw a pear playing a trumpet once...think it was a TOOTY fruity😊..ironically I do like pears and love smoked n pickled fish. 😂 so I would survive I reckon..Nice one Rick🍺👍
@@SlurpyDave254 lol you always deliver 😂👍🍻
Lmao.
@@CTP-bbq-HundHutte 👍🍻
Smash beers sre s great way to learn about specific malt and verios different hops. I used to brew them alot when i first started algrain . Cheers mate😎👍
@@finnroohomebrewing1846 love doing a SMASH now and again 👍🍻
I like the El Dorado but i prefer to (pear) it with a citrusy hop as well... makes it fresher... 🍻
@@thomash3716 🤣😂love it cheers 👍🍻
Hmmm never have done a smash , may have to try it , 🍻smooth sailing!
@@CaptainBailey4007 get one brewing lovely 👍🍻
I love that Rick "It tastes of pear, i don't like pears" You can't win them all, looks great though. 🍺
@@White_Rose_Al still drinking it , it won’t go to waste, thanks for watching and commenting as always 👍🏼🍻
A summer ale sounds like a good idea.🍻
@@contraption-brewery unfortunately it’s not very summery here in Lincolnshire at the moment 😂👍🏼🍻
A SMASH is on my to-brew list. I think your video moved it up in priority. Cheers!
@@JimFosterVO you’ll not regret it, so simple but so so tasty cheers 👍🍻
Are those 12 oz bottles?
@@JosephJohnson-n6v 500ml not sure what that is in oz think it’s a bit different over hear 16.9 fluid oz ?
@@BrewabitRick okay thanks I have 16 oz bottles so I think 1 drop would be good for each bottle
