Fantastic. I’m on G30 and usually around 70-75% depending recipe. Recently changed mill and it mixed all up. Also I really need to start to weigh the rice hulls.
You guys hit the nail on the head about efficiency being a big !@#%#$% match or a badge of honor when it comes to brewing. There are certainly places where "mistakes" can happen to bring it down lower than it should have been, but it's really about knowing what your efficiency is trending to be in order to account for it. Great video! I need that viking malt! Out of grains.
Where can I get the Viking malt helmet ? I am a home brewer and I am also Danish "Skol" Honestly I'm over 100 batches and I have never checked my efficiency I know a good Beer when I make it. Now I'm going to need to learn that too holy crap! I do enjoy f.b.f.
That's awesome, Scott! You're right on the money by saying you know a good beer when you make it, that's step one! Really glad to hear you're enjoying FBF, let us know what else you'd like to learn about. The Viking Helmets are for breweries that win GABF awards using Viking Malt, check it out here: morebeerpro.com/content/viking
@@MoreBeer_ Actually, I’m pretty sure that was my dad who wrote the above comment. I happened to be on my phone when I got this notification and I’m guessing my UA-cam account is open on his computer. Either way, he is definitely a man that is passionate about making beer! Way to go dad!
I'm not sure that it is important to check mash, brew house or whatever efficiency is called in home brewing because the single infusion method only liquefies simple starch releasing simple sugar, glucose and sweet, nonfermenting types of sugar. The problem is that it takes more than simple starch, simple sugar and sweet sugar to produce ale and lager. So why waste time figuring out the efficiency of a brewing method that only releases glucose, responsible for one thing, making alcohol? Would efficiency be higher if the step mash method and the decoction method was used? I noticed that Viking Pale Ale malt modification is 42 KI and the malt contains 12.5 percent protein. Does Viking produce under modified, low protein, base malt?
Really, I thought it was Bad enough with the "Coffee Hipsters", now we have "Beer Hipsters", give me a Break and a bottle of Bleach to Cleanse my Palate of these Wannabe Beer "Cool Kids".
Let us know what topics you'd like us to go over next! Leave a question for us to answer next month below! 🙌
See you next Friday 🍻
A good topic might be how and when to add adjuncts to a beer that aren't in the mash. For example: coffee, cacao nibs or coconut.
Awesome suggestion, thanks Ben! 🍻
I'd like to see you do a topic of pressure fermentation. Love FBF!
@@kevinc9625 I have a videos on how to set up a keg as a pressure fermenter and then I fermented morebeer's pineapples and pines kit in it.
@@RecipeswithBen Thanks! I'll check it out now.

So much to learn about beer. Great video & content. I like my mead I think alot better as in not as much hassel.
Great info, video & content.

Couldn't agree more, glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers! 🍻
Recipe creation and understanding balance and ratios for brewing great beer.
Awesome suggestion, thanks Roger! Cheers 🍻
I love to hear about good hop combinations for a German Pils. Or any style of beer.
Awesome feedback, thanks David! We could have a lot of fun talking about hop combinations for sure. Cheers! 🍻
Does the liquor to grist ratio matter? If so, what does it change?

They could have offered tips about improving efficiency when it is in fact too low.
Good feedback, Jaclyn! Thank you, we’ll add that to our list to add in a future video. Cheers 🍻

How do I whirlpool if I BIAB?
Great topic idea, we can go over whirlpooling in general and how to do it in various brewing setups! Cheers 🍻
