Mate that looks beautiful, congrats! I gotta get a hoppy beer brewing myself
Excellent job. Thank you for taking the time to put together a comprehensive video.
No worries Steven, thanks mate!
Love what you do Gash,great info as always! Keep it coming! Cheers!!
Thanks mate, Cheers Jay!
Great vid, perfect timing as I'm planning to brew my first DDH NEIPA this weekend. Can't wait to get to the glass.
Get it on! hahaha Cheers!
glad i stumbled across your channel, subbed, looking forward to going through the rest of your content. Easy to follow, good blend of technical and passion....good work.
Thanks for that. cheers mate!
Congratulations!!
Looks awesome mate!! Seeing this video finally pop up made my night 🤣
ahahaha Thanks mate, cheers!
I used your water chemistry and grain bill for a NEIPA, did a 90min mash and added the dextrose, with result being 7%
Another great video ...
When I'm using wheat & oats I'll change the potential gravity received on beersmith of each of these adjuncts from 1.035 to 1.025 because its always rated higher for some reason I read this in multiple brew books ... fun brewing
Cheers Gash! Looks and sounds awesome! Weird about the wheat issues!
Well you once again have made me thirsty 🤣 awesome looking beer Gash thanks for the footage, and it's like juice in a glass! Nice colour... cheers mate hope all is well over your way, Mike 🍻🍻🍻
Nice brew bud. On my list. Just need to get some Sabro.
Thanks for posting.
Looks amazing.
Thanks and cheers Eddie!
May start dry hoping from the top as you show in this vlog, seems less hassle and much less mess. Keep up the good work 👏 👍
Cheers Dylan, I'm just lazy, if the brew is still fermenting than I dont worry at all about going through the top. Cheers!
Looks great. 90min mash might help with mash efficiency since a high amount of flaked grains were used. They’re not capable of self-conversion so needs a little more time in the mash for enzymes from other grains to act on them.
This is true though it can also break down the sugars you're trying to keep if temps aren't accurately maintained. I do 75-90 mashes for my low carb beers and some lagers, bruts etc. Cheers!
Awesome colour looks mad can't wait to brew it too
Cheers mate!
Just had my first glass of this out of my tap. Absolutely delicious, never been able to get much aroma out of my beers in the 3 years I've been brewing, but this has big time aroma. Thanks Gash it's everything I've always wanted in a homebrew. Ended up getting good pre boil gravity so I didn't end up using the Dextrose
Glad you enjoy it! Awesome mate. cheers!
I wish I had watched this before yesterday. I was down for the dolly (And forgot oats) but now I know how to get the boil gravity up. Love your work mate.
Glad it was helpful! Cheers mate
Great video once again mate, looking forward to the Sabro tasting video, Cheers
Cheers Beefa!
Recent homebrew starter here. Really enjoying your walkthroughs and perspectives. I've learnt more in one video than the endless trawling of the internet. I won't lie, i'm refreshing youtube twice a day for the Hopstomper brew (even though i'm subscribed and have notifications on!). We used to live near Stomping Ground and the Hopstomper is my absolute favourite IPA. Its balance of flavour is my idea of the ideal brew. My wife had some shipped to QLD for me for my bday (bless her) and it's only made my heart grow fonder. So needless to say, i'm chomping at the bit to learn how to make a clone. Big appreciation for your passion and consistency in sharing your videos over the years. There is truly a treasure trove of learning and discovery in all of your uploads.
Yeah really sorry, I just have to edit it, it will be done by saturday at the latest. ummm just hang on a tic, I have one of the raw versions I did for my patreons, I can show you that if you want.
@@HomeBrewNetwork Thanks for replying! It sounds like it's just around the corner, so i can be a patient little fella (i have a brew to put down in between anyway). Thanks for the offer though, you're truly a top guy. Keep doing what you're doing. Loving the content.
Hi . I really love your videos (just subscribed) . Really informative and followable advice . I love the look of this grain bill and the look of your beer .I'm going to try the fermzilla for my first brew at the weekend . Do you think this grain bill would work with kveik voss ?. I happen to have some still from last brew. . Cheers. John
Great vid thanks! I've noticed the same problems using wheat and oats. I've heard that those adjuncts can coat the barley and cause less extraction from the barley. I wonder if it would be worth mashing the barley separate from the cereals then adding the two together. Seems like that would be a lot of work though.
Good on you mate - great vid 👍
Cheers Nicholas!
Another cracking vid, thanks Gash. I love london fog, but it does have some interesting qualities. It needs a slightly higher rest temp or will over-attenuate, seems to hug the top of the fermenter and not drop and definitely needs a week in keg before drinking for some reason before the hop aromas shine through. Having said that, it's a great cropping yeast, and can be used for a lot of styles. I'm currently on my fourth reuse making a brown ale
Interesting , thanks for that. Cheers Mark!
Awesome video once again, thank you for sharing all your knowledge. As a new home brewer I am able to learn so much from these videos. I liked the whirlpool arm you created, I have one question. As you are in the southern hemisphere would your whirlpool be more effective if you set it in an anti-clockwise direction? Looks like yours is going clockwise. Keep them coming, I will definitely be trying one of these soon. Rob
great video mate! love your work. I tried brewing this and for me it didn't really come out with a punch and it was quite clear not hazy. Any ideas? I used lallemand east coast dry yeast
Nice one Gash. Looks the goods!
Cheers Jake!
You're like a kid in a candy store Gash. Great vid as per usual. Cheers mate.
Yep hahaha Cheers mate!
Perfect timing. I've got Citra, Mosaic and Sabro LupaMax hops to try and though recipe is different from yours, I wasn't sure if the Sabro would play well with Citra and Mosaic but you've convinced me to try. I'm using Imperial POG A37 yeast for the first time as well so we'll see how it goes. It'll be beer!
I really enjoy your content and thanks for sharing your time.
Thanks very much, cheers mate!
Hey Gash great vid .Im brewing this one on monday what pressure should i set the spunding valve too? Ta
Hello!
Some questions:
- After putting the yeast, how many days pass until the first dryhopping?
- How many days is the first dryhopping kept in the fermenter? At what temperature?
- From the first dryhopping, how many days pass until the second dryhopping?
- at what temperature do you do the second dryhopping?
- How many days do you leave the second dryhopping in the fermenter.
Thanks!!!
Jesus Christ! Look at the final product!!! A thing of beauty!! 👌
Hey Gash, could you do an updated video on your fridge setup? Thanks!
Another great beer to try 🍻
Cheers Jason!
Hi Gash, in Altona so great to see you using our local waters and vendors to brew!
I noticed you corrected your gravity using Dextrose in this video. My Robobrew3 is habitually shy on gravity, 10 points sometimes, and I correct with Pilsner DME during the boil as I'm worried that I'm short on both flavour and sugars.
Do you think I could go with just Dextrose as you did? Have you experience with correcting with DME?
I brewed this the day after you put the video up and I had the same issues with being a few points down but I didn't add any dextrose so my final gravity was 5.4%. Flow was slowish but got there. Dry hopped for the first time which was pretty easy. Cold crashed and kegged it.
OMG, what a fabulous brew full of aroma and flavour. Doing another one Friday the same but I will be prepared to add some Dex. I might have found our Fulham Homestead signature beer (FDDHNEIPA). Thankyou so much for sharing.
thats great to hear David, I nearly didnt bother adding either.. I some times now wish I didnt, few of these and every nights a party lol cheers mate!
I really should of adjusted Mash Eff for two reasons one is a big grain bill for the brewzilla, and two just the amount of unmalted wheat etc, its natural to lose some eff with those, and the oats. Cheers!
Hi there, how did you filter out the hops from primary after dry hopping?
Hey Gash, as someone new to home brewing I'm learning so much from your vids and the detailed explanations you give as you go along, cheers! Could I please ask - following the cold crash and kegging, does the keg go straight in the fridge/kegerator or is there any storage period at warm/room temp for conditioning before then cooling back down to serving temp?
straight into the fridge mate, no warm conditioning, not for this beer. Cheers Kye!
Hey mate. Keen as mustard to give this a crack. I brew BIAB, fairly easy to brew accordingly or should I make some adjustments in Brewfather?
Hi Gash, always a pleasure watching your material, clear and informative. I've got a question about an issue I don't recall being addressed in your videos and that's burning at the bottom during boil: did you ever experience that in your brews?
Do you have any tips on that?
Thank you so much for everything you've been teaching me on homebrewing!
I dont have that problem, I've never had a burnt brew in the brewzilla/robobrew the closest I get to one is actually with a lot of wheat or oats, I think thats just a lot of fine material settling down the bottom, but mine has never burnt.. Maybe you crush is too fine?? also only use the small element during the mash Cheers!
Just brewed this recipe today! Based on the recent “haze” findings should I just wait until day 7 to put all the dry hops in???
Hi, I couldn't find the tasting of the recipe with more Sabro. How did that work out? Looking to brew it as my next one but interested to hear.
Hey mate, your fermcap-s where do you get it from?
Thanks 👍
wet the base grain only and it will flow like nothings there and you ll get your efficiency
Big problem is I keep forgetting to lower the oat conversion % in my software, it seems brewfather have updated theirs, which is good! Cheers!
I did a neipa other day and it lost its hazyness and come out ipa colour how to avoid this ?
could you like the video with the dry yeast version?
Hey there thanks for a great video and especially sharing on Brewfather - that's how I came across this for my first go at a DDH NEIPA! I've got a stovetop brew fermenting now based on your steps. I just wanted to ask...your steps go straight from dry hopping to cold crash, do I not need to do a secondary fermentation with sugar? Maybe you add your own CO2 with a tank but a lot of the brews I've followed have a step for adding sugar in the fermenter and leaving for another 2 weeks. Cheers for any answer mate
Yes I carbonate with a CO2 bottle, no second ferment, NEIPAs do not like a second ferment. Cheers!
Hey man, thanks for sharing. I'm new to your channel and AG brewing having cut my teeth on extract and partial grain the past 2 years.
I brewed this yesterday (my third AG brew) on an electric single vessel I built myself. I was aiming for a 40L batch in the keg with around 45L in my unitank. That means about 56L pre-boil in my 15gal kettle, so a bit of a squeeze. I didn't get there in the end - I'm missing 5L I can't work out where they went - better luck next time. The learning curve is steep but fun.
I used rolled oats instead of easy oats. I cooked them first but only until hey started to break apart - not porridge. I still didn't hit gravity and so added 300g of Dex and also extended the boil to 75 min and hit 1.060. Mash efficiency worked out at about 71%. I've hit 79-80% on my previous 2 brews (IPA) and so will try this again with the lower efficiency dialled in and no dex.
Keep up the vids. Good to have solid homebrew content in this corner of the pacific.
Cheers from nz.
We might shag sheep, but we ain't got covid... 😂
you all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Cohen Kody Instablaster ;)
@Leonel Ace i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Leonel Ace it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Cohen Kody you are welcome xD
Great stuff as always. Before seeing the video I'd just ordered some of the new Verdant IPA yeast from Lallemand. Think I might use that in this recipe, as I have it on hand. Thoughts? Have you used it at all? I also don't have the Sabro, but have the citra, mosaic and simcoe so will likely go with that too. Looks delicious. Cheers
I do have one packet of Verdant, but havent used it yet, cheers mate!
You are the man Gash galaxy is a top hop real punch
Cheers Darren!
Hey Gash - awesome channel and thanks heaps for the clips on the DDH Neipa....I use RoboBrew (III) and pressure ferment in my Kegland Fermzilla Allrounder. I have brewed this recipe and finding that the aroma is dropping out after 2 weeks in keg....flavor is big and bang on though....I did have pressure set at 12 psi on fermentation so thinking that could be the reason Aroma is dissipating...any other tips? Thanks mate
Hmm thats odd. How is your transfer to keg? Making sure absolutely all the lines are flushed with CO2 etc? Maybe try using Sodium Metabisulphite for rinsing the keg before filling? Cheers!
looks great Gash. What'd you think about missing the early addition of sabro?
I was disappointed! but this beer is good, the sabro one will be ready in a few days, then I can tell you how it really changed it! Cheers!
Great video gash. If you're seeking a slightly higher FG in your NEIPAs have you considered adding lactose? I know it can be a bit off putting but if its just 200g it might add the sweetness you're after without being over the top...
I have thought of it, but I've put that much shit on lactose lately my friends would never let me live it down hahaha for sure it would go fine I think , I've seen it in a few of the commercial versions, well the creamy oat ones etc.. I really should of adjusted Mash Eff for two reasons one is a big grain bill for the brewzilla, and two just the amount of unmalted wheat etc, its natural to lose some eff with those, and the oats. Cheers!
Great vidoes and channel, one of the only grain to glass out there. At what pressure do you ferment your NEIPAs? Cant wait to get me fermentasuarus snub
This one was 2psi as I said, didnt want to stress the yeast, others I've gone up to 10 to 12psi, I dont see any need to go higher on any beer to be honest. cheers mate!
@@HomeBrewNetwork Cheers mate, I must've missed it in the vid. Alot for me to take in as a beginner. Great channel!
If you were to add two portions/tablets of Irish moss would the beer clear quick/better any draw backs?
Whirlfloc etc is perfectly fine to use in neipa, it's not where the haze comes from. Cheers
Hi How are you. Daniel from Brazil. Great Channel. So happy here. What are you putting in the boil within the wirfloc? Can you explain to me! Thanks
I'm a little confused as to what you mean, I actually forgot whirlfloc in this brew.. or do you mean the whirlpool? Cheers!
Enjoy your videos and the beer looks amazing. I'm currently drinking a neipa I brewed with Bru-1, Citra, El Dorado and Sabro that is very tropical, candied pineapple, coconut, mango. I'm thinking about an all Citra ipa with a neipa grist next. Cheers
I've been loving the big all citra ones lately, so good! Cheers!
How do you find bru-1?
rheffera I ordered them from Yakima Valley Hops. They're no Citra, then again no other hop is, but they're interesting.
@@rheffera I havent tried it, I cant try them all, well I could, I cant afford too lol time and money! Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork cheers from north Melbourne for the vid. I am just using the digiboil with a thermowell I put in the side. In the future when I have spare $ I'll babe a robo and use the Digi for kettle
Hiya Gash, lovely beer mate!
Quick question regarding water volumes.
I'm aiming to do a 20L 6.6% ABV NEIPA (Brewzilla user) and Brewfather is telling me to use 25.3L mash water for my 6.18kg malt bill and sparge with only 4.1L water to get my total water to just over 29L. In this video your mash water was 21L and then you sparged up to 30L. Is this the approach you take with most of your beers? 20L mash water and sparge up to 30L? Do you tend to make your batch volume enough for a 19L keg?
If I follow Brewfather and sparge with just 4.1L water I'm worried I will miss my numbers and my efficiency will be off. Don't suppose you have any words of wisdom/advice?
Cheers.
Hey mate, loving your videos, I’m currently looking at moving to all grain and like the look of the brewzilla, I’ve been leaning towards the 65L version, the old do it right from the start however I just watched you use what looked to be a 65L as a spare water heater, I think I’ll mainly start off with singles but someday once I figure this brewing thing out do doubles someday. Have I got the right idea or is the 35L the better way to go for this style of brew? Thanks and keep up the vids
I'd go for the 65L gives you more options, although I do have a brand new in box 35L here for sale cheap if you're in Melbourne. Cheers!
I’m in North Queensland, I bought a 35L figured I like verity and seems the smaller one has a better efficiency for the single batches plus it left me extra money for a fermzilla and all the other fun things,
@@HomeBrewNetwork whats your price on the 35??
@@samstock6565 it was 350
great video mate, I've been trying to source one of those hose clamps you use to adjust the flow on the hose from teh c'flow chiller. Can you share the source, cheers
They are harder to find these days! I think they are out there but every one uses a slightly different name and a lot of brew shops have them but dont bother putting them on their websites.. There these but I dont like the knob on top.. the bar is much better.. www.keg-king.com.au/catalog/product/view/id/444/s/25mm-screw-type-hoffman-hose-clamp/ Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork ok I'll keep searching! Thanks for your reply anyway
I find when I keg a beer it always tastes better one week later, also, I ordered a PH meter from Kegland I just got it the other day, it took 5 weeks to get here, I am in the Otway ranges, usually things take anywhere from 2 to 4 days to arrive, that bloody virus
the mail is friggin crazy mate, those hops took over 2 weeks, express post.... Cheers!
Hey mate.
What days would you dry hop if you used kviek yeast along with what fermentation cycle/Temps would u go with for this recipe
Go in early, even when you pitch the yeast, but only if doing a decent pitch, if you're doing the very small pitch, maybe wait till next day for the first, then see how its going, if its roaring along maybe drop them all in, if its going ok then wait a day or two and then drop another in. Cheers!
Yes like @Kyle D asked where did you get that digital hydrometer? I've only seen the Japanese ones at around $700, a bit too exxy for me.
Wheat always reduces my efficiency too, so you're not alone.
Nice video mate 👍
It's one of these, I need to finish my recording on it amzn.to/2Rx9a8f Cheers! There are much more expensive ones that list the gravity like 1.000 where as you see this one doesn't.. but you know.. brix is fine and for me the end two numbers is fine as well.. cheers mate!
Are you cold crashing in a keg? I only just started really trying to put together some recipes, but since we're very limited in space at home, we're really just doing 1 gallon brews to figure things out. I'm still a bit unfamiliar with cold crashing, what is your process?
How do you stop loads of hops going into the fermenter? ours always completely closes up all filters while transferring. Same question for after dry hopping. beer looks Brill by the way
Try a hops spider or hop bags
Gash, just wondering how you sanitise your wort chiller? For an immersion chiller I add it to the boil for 15 min but if I run boiling wort through counterflow chiller I have to run the cold water through it to stop the rubber from melting/bursting!
Smithy
Hot water shouldnt melt the rubber, it will make it softer, but you should never have pressure in the rubber pipe, never shut off the output at any time.
I usually have 5 or 10l Ieft in my water heating pot (HLT) and I just hook it up and run 80-90c water through it while I'm mashing or boiling, just 15 to 20mins and thats all I do, at the end of boil I just switch it over to the Brewzilla.
If you dont have a pump on your HLT you can do it beforehand, even the day before, if its cleaned and sanitised, it'll be fine, if your worried about bugs getting in it or something you cover the ends of the pipes, or just ditch the first cup of wort coming through into a jug or something then go straight into you fermenter.
Cheers!
Dude I thought something was wrong with my setup when you paused on the wheat malt. Maybe in future just add a paused symbol and the time that you are going to pause it for with a countdown of some sorts to let me know. Was honnestly looking at my GFX card and other parts when you paused the vid but the audio kept going.
All in all thanks for the info. Cheers.
Sorry slugger hahaha Cheers mate!
Sabro good hop!!Hello from Russian!!!NEIPA nice beer!!!👍🍺🍺🍺🍺💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What don't you like on the fermenter?
I've never had any issues with it, I have 2 of them, cheers!
What psi do you ferment at on neipa?
Same as everything else, about 5 psi. Cheers
Hi gav where do you get flaked wheat and white wheat ?
Home brew shop ummmmm it was Kegland - bit.ly/Kegland and Grain and Grape would likely have some too! Cheers!
What are you using to track fermentation?
I'm using a tilt bit.ly/Tilt2Ebay , and Brewfather bit.ly/Brewfather Cheers!
Any differences in terms of flavour with 1st hop worth?
They say its smoother but detecting it in a beer like this would be extremely difficult. Cheers!
Where did you get your digital refractometer?
Refractometer - amzn.to/2Rx9a8f Cheers!
Where is that digital hydrometer from mate? First I've seen one
It's one of these, I need to finish my recording on it amzn.to/2Rx9a8f Cheers!
Theres one made for beer where it lists the reading as 1.000 but its a couple of hundred more usually, I can live with Brix and just the last 2 numbers of 1.000
I got the stainless plug bolt for my bottom screen and man it is way easier to stir without the pipe in the middle
I actually have the new bottom screen without the hole in it, i didnt have when i made this though. Cheers mate!
Gus, where did you buy the stainless steel plug bolt? I’ve been using a high tensile steel bolt for same effect. Agree much easier without pipe.
GTrain
Graeme Smith all on Kegland look for the BSP stainless hex plug
is it the 1/4 inch bit.ly/QartInchHexPlug ? or half inch?
The Home Brew Network 1/4 inch fits the 35l bottom screen
would you like some beer with those hops?
1L extra water will barely affect the pH, water is a buffer
grain is a buffer :)
I like that you describe every step of your process. However you talk about "dropping points", but as opposed to what? If you know that your efficiency is usually lower with flaked additions, why don't you dial in your efficiency for those recipes based on your experience? Btw. the addition of dextrose to make up for lower efficiency explains 1-2 points lower FG, I would have used DME for that purpose.
I dont use wheat often or flaked oats and usually this time forget to adjust while I'm making the recipe. I'd much rather use dextrose for a few points, just because it doesnt add anything except the points, where as LDME will add colour and some non fermentables, albeit small. I'd use LDME if thats all I had. Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork Thanks for the explanation, though I thought LDME would add approximately the same colour and unfermentable sugars as if you upped the base malt to compensate for lower efficiency? I guess it maybe tastes different though, I have not tried it as I have so far just increased or decreased my boil-off rate to partially compensate when I miss recipe targets, and try to adjust next time.
@@nordlands8798 LDME is a nightmare in a brewery, expensive and rarely used to make adjustments. Once you open a bag in a steamy brewery its use it all or toss it out. Of course at the home level it maybe be easier to store. Its just as highly processed as the Dex so there's no real advantage when you're just using it to adjust gravity. I don't think in all my years of brewing and breweries I dont think Ive ever seen a bag a of ldme laying around for adjustments, though regularly I see dex or even just sugar. I guess it comes down to my schooling too, it was one of the home brew myths we studied, there's lots around about simple sugars! Though I totally agree, if you have the time and space to adjust via extra boil that's a good way to do it! I think I'm so use to the limitations of single vessel brewing these days I just go with the flow! If it ever started ruining my beer then I'd take action :) Cheers!
ABBA
Nice color... I bet it tastes wonderful :)
It is lovely, the keg is just about to finish sadly! Cheers!
