We started chasing the white claw clone after your first seltzer video. Thanks to quarantine we had a few months to dial it in. We found that it turns out better if you shoot for a high ABV(15-20%) with 10-18lbs of sugar per 5 gal with the turbo yeast.

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE I wish man. We nailed down the seltzer game thanks to you guys. You have literally saved us thousands of dollars by now. However seltzers are pretty much all we make at this point. Had to give up beer after living in Alaska and gaining 25 lbs in PBR and Genesee. Love the channel, Learning tons. If you guys ever come out to Hawaii lets Rage.
Great video I've been making them as well, I add a 1/2 tsp of citric acid after clearing at keg time, gives it that cheek bite that you get from the store bought ones. I also for parties just keg the unflavored seltzer and then have a flavor bar of the olive nation extract and a dropper.....
From what I understand the turbo yeast is just a gross overpitch of yeast and nutrients so there are many more active yeast cells than would be in a normal fermentation. They are meant for producing alcohol for distillation, so don't produce the cleanest tasting product but can have high yields for distillers. Glad you showed me that proper seltzer, gonna have to pick some of that up. I have been trying to avoid DAP cause I am brewing higher abv ciders and I don't want to risk it. I am currently using Voss Kveik, I will have to check out Lutra too!
Tip from our distilling friends on pH crashes in a sugar-based ferments: slip in a hop bag w/ a cup of oyster shells (5 lb bag is ~$5 @ your local Tractor Supply or feed store). It'll keep the pH between 4-5, and the yeasties will be happy. No off flavors created, but I still soak the bag in Star-San before dropping it in for peace of mind...
Interesting, I know how to slowly slip in some Calcium Carbonate to boost the ph, and I know what an ancient bed of oyster shells does for my fruit trees in the back yard, but in the mash, I have to try that.
I make ginger beer. water, s-05, dap, dextrose to 5% and 10oz ginger per gallon. 5oz ferment 5oz dry hopped post primary. Comes out clear after 3ish weeks. Without cold crashing. Used 71b before and that shit was cloudy for 2 months. Btw northern brewer ships their hard seltzer kits with EC1118. Cheers!
I've done a few batches based off the last hard seltzer video you guys did. I've noticed with the Red Star yeast that if you swirl the bucket around every day or so, it tends to continue fermenting better. Also, after a week or two in a keg, it will just clear up completely by itself. Great video, cheers!
Lutra (now comes in dry form), Propper Seltzer nutrient pack, follow the recipe and you're golden. Finding the right extract has been an issue but I decided to give the 40ml Soda Stream Bubly's a go.. Cherry flavor, by far has been the best yet. Personally; I use 2 per 5gal keg. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed but if you are.. drink up anyways.
Great video, learned a lot. I am about to try my hand at a 10 gallon batch which I will split into 2 corny kegs and use a different flavor for each. My question is, if I use 2 packs of propper do you think 1 pack of Lutra would suffice for the 10 gallon batch?
One of the best videos yet! I’m on day 3 got so Propper nutrient and I’m at 1.008 so looking good, done 4 batches of seltzer so far and this is the first time it hasn’t stalled. Gonna harvest some of that Lutra gold for future batches. Keep the good shit comin CH! MBC!
Paul at what temperature do you ferment your lutra? I’m on 12 hours and no action at all with the ferment. Used lutra + propper nutrient. I dont want to think I’m stalled 😩
Ok. So, working overnight isn't conducive to brewing or anything else for that matter, but I finally got some seltzer whipped up an hour ago. SG: 1.052 w/ ~6# of sugar. How quick does the Lutra get up and running? Pitched @ 86°F.
I tried it for you, CH: Omega Lutra, 5lbs of Dextrose, 1 package Proper Seltzer, 4.5 days at 84F (Hottest I coulg get it). 6.57% and super clear. Now to add my Olive Nation Blood Orange and try not to overdo it.
Not sure when you did the video, but the latest I checked Homebrew Co off of El Cajon in North Park has Lutra and some other Omega Labs kveik back in stock. Also you should check out yeast harvesting with Kveik since it has a great profile (high floculation, dry stable) for drying.
What's up Kevin!? Ha you're the second person to tell me about Homebrew Co this week. North park is a little bit far but maybe i'll make a day of it. Cheers1
Fantastic video! Gave the Lutra recipe a try on a 2.5 gal scale, and I actually got the sake issue that you had with the Turbo yeast. Did the sake flavors mellow out with time or was that batch basically a wash (aside from having watered down sake)?
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE it’s been sent to the whole gang. We’re having a friends giving this weekend and I think I’m gonna use the turbo yeast and charcoal filter method. You should have dove into the charcoal method or do a separate vijayo on how and where to get the stuff on the cheap! Also start drop shipping home brew supplies on a website!
Hi! I just finished brewing my hard seltzer batch, and I was going to clarify it with clear gelatin, but then I thought why not use a flavored one (sugar free) so it would be flavored and clear with one step, but I dont know if it would actually work, what do you think? I dont really mind it being colored .
Brewed up the lutra batch at 1.040 with dap and nutrition but sh$t staled at 1.016 85deg for a week now. Have you had any problems like that yet with lutra? Love the channel braj
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE did 20g nutrition 8gdap still going strong after a week. Pretty weird for a 1040 batch. Wondering if I need to add another round of both. And you guys had it done in 4 days? Still a little hazy too.
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE guess I kinda answered my own question. Wasn’t sure if the heat lamp in my chamber was causing airlock bubbles. You know you start over thinking when things don’t go right. Guess I’ll let roll. Thanks
Right on braj. I’ve been out of the home brew game for about 6 years. Don’t drink fizzy waters, but just found out about kveik and bout to brew some beer again. I’m excited for the fist time in years about fermenting some barley pop. Naturally, haven’t watched much on brewing in a good while. Cool stuff braj 🤣🤣🤣 subbed doggie.
Hi All, Doing my first batch of Hard Seltzer and I realized that it's going to come out a bit weak on ABV% my OG is 1.026. The recipe I was trying to follow says OG should be about 1.035. I may not added enough corn sugar or maybe I have added too much water. it's been about a week like this. Is it ok to mix in another 1 lb of corn sugar mid-ferment? or on second thought I add the 1 lb of corn sugar to my corny keg and transfer it as secondary do a closed fermentation and let it naturally carbonate under pressure? (I do have a spunding valve). Should I wait it out and enjoy some weak sauce seltzer and learn from my mistakes?
Braj, throw an aquarium heater in the tub and the cheapest powerhead for water movement you can. They even have built in temp controllers or use an inkbird. Gotta get my hands on some Lutra now.
Im curious as to why youre bringing it up to 200 ish F? It's store bought distilled water, shouldnt it be fine? or is it just to dissolve the nutrients?
Awesome video man , The work you put into it definitely shows! Also super informative I wanted to make a hard seltzer for a while. Mostly for UA-cam reasons lol I’m not a fan of it but my wife is! I really appreciate all the info 205lbs ?
Why distilled and not mineral or other water? So far, big fan of the videos, wanting to get back into it so these are great... Looking forward to watching more!
Question on clarifying (if need be, and I do this round)-all I can get my hands on at the moment for a clarifier is gelatin....all others sold out and I normally make beer, which gelatin rocks at clarifying. I already dosed my cold-crashed seltzer with it this morning...but I'm thinking it's not going to be effective and my understanding was that gelatin works primarily on protein haze, which the seltzer should lack entirely. Any thoughts? I used a dry brand of Kveik yeast and propper nutrient.
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE That was out of stock locally and I had to get on it-so charcoal filtered it. The yeast I had to use for same reasons was a different Kveik and left it with haze and baby farts. Added 1 T of flavor extract after filtering and it is great-as good or better than commercial. Carbonating now. Thanks again!
My boy, been watching these videos just out of curiosity. I’m a carbon fiber car parts manufacturer, I grind and experiment and the energy in your videos remind me of my daily grind. Dude, if you got something you want in carbon fiber fucking hit me up dude. #sdfamily #fuckyeah
Any foreseeable problems with harvesting the yeast post fermentation for the lutra batch? Since it’s a lot of money with the overnight shipping and all.
Fermenting 11 gallons of seltzer tonight! 10lb corn sugar! Propper pitch nutrient and Lutra yeast. 1.042 OG. Can’t wait to try it! I bought sugar using your link. Used my tap water, which is great water. So let’s rock’ roll! Planning on Lime and coconut flavor from olive nation!
When raising the abv in seltzer should you just raise the sugar content until the point the yeast doesn't consume it all? Or am I missing something else?
So I brewed a seltzer with lutra, OG was 1.040, added 20g yeast nute and 8 g dap, chilled to 95 and pitched yeast. It's been about 48 hours and have no activity and gravity is still the same. Any ideas? I'm puzzled
I have been trying my own seltzer homebrew and it's taking 2-3 weeks to ferment. The results are good but it's taking much longer than just a few days like you are doing here.... what am I doing wrong... I'm using Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne yeast (2 pks). Thanks for the videos, I enjoy watching.
I have mine running around the 85 degree mark in my fermentation chamber and after 2 days it is starting to get e baby turtle fart smell. Am I doing something wrong here? do i need to add more dap or nutrients? It's not a true sulfer smell yet but more like a really tart smell.
Did you get the Red Star cuvée yeast to finish in 2 days ? Also do you think if I doubled the sugar and yeast/nutrition I could pull off a high gravity 8-10% in the same period ? Thanks

Do you add gelatine to the Lutra Kviek Seltzer after fermentation or just add extract and then connect it to the Co2
No gelatin or biofine
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE thanks!
@@aborjas23 epic snes controller btw!
have you tried the home brew store in esco?
Yeah I have. Kinda a bit of a drive for me, but I go there when i'm out there
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE sweet that’s where I’m going to start my brew journey with the assistance of this channel !
i tried with the turbo yeast . OG was 1.040 but the next day (24 hour period) went down only to 1.030. Any recommendations? or just wait?
🤔 id bring it into the bathtub and change the temp and go from there
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE made it to 1.000 final gravity 😄 42 hours thou 😂
Braj! The snes music is so fucking pristine
dude your channel rocks
Thx for watching, cheers Bryan!
Great vid, braj
Cheers SW. Thanks for gaving me your time amigo
I have mine running around the 85 degree mark in my fermentation chamber and after 2 days it is starting to get e baby turtle fart smell. Am I doing something wrong here? do i need to add more dap or nutrients? It's not a true sulfer smell yet but more like a really tart smell.
either wait it out or purge it off. Getting rid of sulfur is really easy plus the extract taste and smell will over power the turtle fart smell
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE how would you purge it?
Great video Braj! That Lutra is a beast! I'll have to try this out and see what the wife thinks. Thanks for the discount, and I'll guess 214. Cheers!
right on brother! Less is more Matt!
Did you get the Red Star cuvée yeast to finish in 2 days ? Also do you think if I doubled the sugar and yeast/nutrition I could pull off a high gravity 8-10% in the same period ? Thanks
4 days and yes
Just followed you on Spotify mate! No I am not an Assue, just like saying 'mate", Mate!
I was just thinking today why not use mio water enhancer or something similar in hard seltzers instead of flavor extracts
Good call!
awesome job man!
Thx for watching Dion!
