    Love the idea of the magnet hop bag, but have a couple questions...
    We're supposed to keep hops refrigerated until use, and in a sealed bag. What are the downsides to leaving them unprotected in a mesh bag for an extended period of time? You want a lot of oxygen in the fermenter when you close it, so I'm assuming the hops are exposed to a bunch of O2, but does that matter if they haven't been broken down yet? Seems smart but I feel like I don't understand the overall effects of that on the hops.

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  4 роки тому +3

      Good question actually, and you are correct in trying to keep hops from oxygen exposure as long as possible. However a few hours of exposure to some air in the fermenter is fine. Remember as soon as fermentation begins, the oxygen in the fermenter headspace is pushed out the airlock and replaced by CO2, so the freshness is still preserved I believe.

    • @ENNEAD09

      @@TheApartmentBrewer you could also use 2 lids. Once the active fermentation started you just swap the regular lid with the one with the hops

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  4 роки тому

      That kinda defeats the whole purpose of trying to lower exposure to oxygen. At that point you may as well just open the lid and throw the dry hops in directly and thr close it again.

    • @ENNEAD09
      @ENNEAD09 4 роки тому +1

      @@TheApartmentBrewer not really. The co2 will push out all the oxygen introduced. The yeast will deal with the rest of o2. Also what you say is basically biotransformation dryhopping. I didn't say you should dry hop right at that moment. You dry hop right when you need not when you switch the lids.

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  4 роки тому +4

      Ah I misunderstood your comment earlier then. You're saying to wait until there is positive CO2 pressure in the fermenter and then take the hops out of the package, set them under the magnet and replace the lid and then in my case wait until the right time to remove the magnet and drop them in. That's pretty clever and makes a lot more sense, and would be very useful for future NEIPAs.

      Why is hanging open hops in a bag over wort for a week ok? Surely that exposure to oxygen (well, will become carbon dioxide) is still horrible for the hops. It’ll send them cheesy.
      I just saw your reply in another question. Fair enough.

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  4 роки тому

      Glad you saw my reply to the other comment, I don't think any staleness came through in the hop flavor and aroma. That would be apparent if they staled, right?

    • @andrewbarker1190
      @andrewbarker1190 4 роки тому

      TheApartmentBrewer yeah you’d think. It would be good to brew a different beer with a sacrificial magnetised hop bag. Open the fermenter after a week, remove the undropped hops and then do an aroma comparison to a freshly opened pack (that you intend to add to the beer). Do a double dry hop if the ‘magnet’ hops are not stale.

    • @TheApartmentBrewer

    I'm.doing my first all grain soon in a keggle,picked up a 23 inch plate chiller that does a one pass from post boil(80°) to pitch (18°c)from my 10000 litre back yard water tank,I've been looking for a good grain bill to do first up and I have a pound of galaxy I bought on special in the freezer .
    I picked up 25 kg sack of quality 2 row base malt from local brew shed ,think I'm just going with it and the flaked oats in the same batch size as you did here.
    I'm going to do the same additions as you did with galaxy ( possibly Goldings for bittering at start).
    I've done extract and Steeped additions for ten years.
    I have a brew freezer that just fits 2 fermenters hard up against each other diagonally.
    Most of my brews that stood out as better beers were pitched at exactly the temperature I wanted and held with the inkbird.
    I wasted a tonne of money dry hopping extract brews to little affect.
    I've also got the magnets but haven't employed them yet ,but all the advice I'm seeing is don't open the fermenter.
    I'm really hoping to get a galaxy smash is all,no amount of dry hopping in the past resulted in anything akin to the hop forward aromas and flavours I was after.
    I am also fabricating a brew in a bag metal table set up that will have everything bolted down,ie pumps,chiller etc.
    I've got my last 2 extract brews in the freezer now at 12° for 3 weeks ( two lagers)
    Coopers European lager ( hersbrucker hops)great drop after extended time.
    And Morgan's blue Mountain lager,another unique flavour profile.
    Seeing as I will only be doing one fermenter with all grains, I'm going to fill the second with water and use it as thermal mass and inkbird temperature control at 18°.
    I hope those hops come through for me this time.
    My dry hop additions tend to fade pretty quickly.

    I like your idea for a closed transfer. I’ve had some problems with oxygenation on my hazy IPAs-They ended up way darker than planned and they lost their hop freshness/aroma way earlier than they should have. It seems like this style is so much more susceptible to oxygen than others.

    • @TheApartmentBrewer
      @TheApartmentBrewer  3 роки тому

      Anything hop forward or pale and delicate is going to be vulnerable to oxygen, so if you have the ability to, its always better to do a closed transfer for those styles of beer. Hazy IPAs are at the top of the list. The large amount of dry hopping and flaked grains in the mash tend to make them stale quickly.

How would this be done in this double IPA or a single malt? You say to use Galaxy the late boil and dry hop with Citra - can you please clarify this given the 5.5g recipe posted above?

    • @TheApartmentBrewer

      All of those would be awesome, but you probably want to go with Simcoe or El Dorado if you want to dry hop with them. Cascade can be great as a delicate dry hop but in my experience can get grassy in the dry hop (in a good way, just may not work well with Citra's fruitiness)

    Ooo beautiful color! Sounds like an excellent Citra fruit bomb! When I brew the style I put my first addition at 10min then start with whirlpool additions. I do my first dry hop at high krausen then one at krausen drop then about 2 days before bottling. If you are looking at a cool hop to try out look at Samba. MoreBeer carries it. LOVE THAT HOP for NEIPA or Smash.

      Thanks! I purposely skipped the biotransformation dry hops on this one just out of curiosity but it probably would have made it juicier still.

      Its actually very simple. About 2 days before brew day, create a 1.040 gravity unhopped wort of your desired volume, and pitch your yeast packet into it. It helps to have a stir plate but if you dont, frequently swirling or shaking it helps with yeast growth. I usually use propper yeast starter wort which is just a can you can buy and makes it even easier.

      Hahaha I saw that!! We both have good taste haha. The reasoning on the water profile is that I wasn't actually targeting an NEIPA at first. I was actually going for more of a West Coast/East Coast blend and targeted the West Coast water profile. Therefore having a higher sulfate to chloride ratio brought out more of the bitter, brighter characteristics of the hops. I think it still turned out reasonably juicy despite that.
