CHEERS!
Sup Guys, my question is!
Was the last batch so clear because of the yeast or the amount of nutrients?
@@andrewchapman261 my guess is the def the yeast. Lutra was denoted to finish out really clean
@@andreparadiang6684 I hear you but I've also heard that dextrose leaves a clear drink too! So couple that with the nutrients as well so it's almost a 3 pronged approach! Maybe should have kept the nutrients and sugar constant!
@@andrewchapman261 good poing
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. Then cut your mash with distilled/reverse osmosis water back to 5% ABV. this cuts alot of the over sweetness you get. Also use chitosan and kieselsol to clear your mash is done fermenting(before cutting with water). Comes out crystal clear
damn dude! collab?
@@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.
@@dr.blackbear138 yup! and down to switch to hard seltzers and lose about 25lbs haha
Great tip on the extracts! I'll have to check that out!
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.....
Great comparison and brew off of each, it answered several questions I've had.
Glad it was helpful!
A lot of solid info here! Especially those extracts... I’ll peak and grab some of those. Great job CH
#FOSTER4LIFE
Holy SHIT! This video was polished dude! Killer stuff.
BRAJ!!
Dude, your work is amazing
Thx braj!
I have never tried a "hard seltzer" but this video has inspired me to make some.
you got this solar!
This video actually is one of the best you have made, great job. Now I'm hyped to make some seltzer
thanks for watching you braj!
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!
Awesome vid!! Thanks for the advise. I’m going 186lbs of beer (seltzer) making brilliance
Thanks for watching, cheers Eric!
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!
Solid feedback! Cheers, Paul!
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 😩
This vid will blow up!! Always chill no matter what!
it's gonna be a christmas miracle!
awesome job man!
Thx for watching Dion!
Feel honored to make the MBC! Also that lutra is CRYSTAL clear, gotta try that for my next seltzer.
Inspired by you fam!
Excellent video, thanks. @10:12 - My ears perked up and I got all tingly. Genus is my LHS. Love those guys and their shop.
right on braj, cheers to you and genus!
My favorite channel on YT by far
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.
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 .
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.
Sounds great!
I was expecting a couple bottles of seltzer water and vodka thrown into a giant cooler. Holy shit this is impressive.
This guy funny and immformative. Good video.
Yet another quality vid Braj. Seltzer is a necessary evil, so I’m trying this next.
If you didn't watch, we wouldn't put out. You're a true braj tom. See you manana doggy
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!
Solid feedback JJ. Sounds like we need to collab
You guys really put out great content. A+
Much appreciated!
First home brew video I've seen . Clicked on it for shits and giggles. Very entertaining. Mad props
Cheers braj!
Does cane sugar vs dextrose make the flavor different? What do you recommend to make the most perfect hard seltzer
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?
Naw I'd use two, but I'm also not too sure. That's more of a "trial and error" thing. Keep us posted!
Love that Sunset Riders sprite behind you when you're talking! Also, cheers braj, keep the vids coming!
Thanks for watching you Braj!
Excelente video compadre ! I’ll guess 206 lbs, sleeveless in Seattle sounds like a braj movie haha cheers
can't wait for your next video braj
Hey braj!! How long until the lutra was actively bubbling? Mines been fermenting at 88 degrees for 24 hours with no activity yet
THE SURPRISE METAL FLASHMAN THEME FOR THE ANVIL RAGE CUT SCENE MADE MY YEAR! SUBBED!
nice catch ND!
not a brewer, but do your prime and bottle/keg to add some carbonation?
Which flavor was your favorite? Awesome video, definitely going to be rewatching this is the summer when I make some seltzer
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.
Solid feedback pat!
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 ?
hard seltzers are cool braj. And they are just going to get better and better. 218lbs over on my end tho. RIP high school 170lbs weight
This is my new favourite bed time content.
much love thx for stopping by Evan!
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!
yup! and the key is to not drink it so fast that you can actually see it be clear lol
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE The hardest part of the whole process.
My Olive Nation flavorings came in! Lutra last weekend! Yeeeah! My 1st Co2 tank last month. Seltzer time.
Nice cheers braj!
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'm kinda surprised. Fermenting a little under temp than recommended, but in 6 days the Lutra didn't start up at all.
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
I just found you today. I'm loving the vids.
Not only are you funny as shit but the guides you make are great. Keep it up, gained a fan!
💯 ❤️ 🍻
Awesome Video!!! Just subscribed!
Cheers brew nut!
Great vid, braj
Cheers SW. Thanks for gaving me your time amigo
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)?
Cheers Ben!
Nice vijayo, my buddy pretty much gave up on brewing seltzer’s because he couldn’t get it to ferment.
Send him this link! Good seeing you PR
@@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!
A war some! Thanks
That's auto check...
Awesome! Thanks
Big Brain Move to make the Shirts like Retro DARE, Video Game, and MTV hahaha! Love the videos, keep up the great work, excuse me it's MBC time!
Ill do one with you seamus. Cheers!
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.
harvest it the same way as beer yeast
dude your channel rocks
Thx for watching, cheers Bryan!
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!
Alright CH, got my hands on some Lutra and I’m jumping on the hard seltzer bandwagon ! Cheers Braj!
You got this braj!
"Sleeveless in Seattle" LMAO!!
ha peters my boy. That dude is allergic to getting cold. I'm jeaous as hell
Hey CH, if I use cuvee yeast would you recommend gelatin, turbo clear or biofine to clear after a cold crash?
all of the above! but Ive had the most success with Gelatin!
Nice! Still trying to figure out what food goes with White Claw...maybe next vid!
getting force fed tomatos while listening to jamie talk?!?!?
Listening to your voice reminds me of Nicolas Cage! Awesome video
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?
Used your discount code for extract. Still good 3/25/2021. :). 2012lbs and Quiznos
ha that's awesome, cheers Nathan!
1st batch I did keep hot enough. (Fail). 2nd Bach used ultra and proper seltzer nutrition and fermented hot. It was a total hit with the neighbors.
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
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.
Add a full ounce of yeast nutrient
That mandatory beer chug clip reminds me of the pantera vulgar videos. Good video, now Im wondering about adding some extracts to homebrew beer.
Less is more braj!
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.
Sounds amazing!!!
I used crystal light a couple times, and worked great. However it was a little sweeter.
Solid feedback thx JE!
The rasberry lemonade was the peoples choice
Going to make 3 different seltzers today. I'm definitely blessed where I live in oregon because my seltzer always ferment clear
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.
Aquarium heaters were the first things i tried before the anvil foundry days. Gets up to high 70s 😢
Do you recommend to clear the turbo yeast with Biofine?
I wouldn’t recommend turbo yeast at all unless you have a carbon filter
Came across Olive Nation awhile back for some extracts, good stuff fa sho
You working bro?
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE yessir
Windsor Homebrew supply in Costa Mesa stocks your Lutra yeast. Just saw it today on the shelf after watching your video last night.
Good to know!
I have no intention whatsoever of making hard seltzer. But DAMN I love this video!
Cheers my German Braj!
Does the Lutra yeast need corn sugar, or is cane sugar fine for that yeast also?
All i know is everything thats in that video
What PSI do you force carb and serve at for a 5 gallon keg?
30psi and shake for 5 minutes. Purge and set to 10-12 psi
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.
biofine
@@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!
How is yours so clear(color wise). My batches have a slight yellow tinge to it.
Mine did too before i forced carbed it
Get Serious...
Great seeing another Hard Seltzer, from you.
Do you remember Crystal Coke ?
#neverforget
What's your carbonation schedule look like?
Just made the seltzer from the last video and having that same stall. Going to add some nutrients and yeast asap. Thanks for the update braj!
Dude its easy (if you know if you know what you are doing), and it's only going to get easier. Cheers JB
LOL loved the #FastHomeBrew thumbs!!
ha what's that blake? #fasthomebrew? write back fam
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE lol #FastHomeBrew is this hilarious Aussie that does G2G glass videos (search for him and the thumbs at the end of each video).. So when you gave those thumbs up at 9:33, I thought for sure you were referencing his channel. One of my favorite parts of H4L is how you call out and reference other homebrew videos and channels like TheBruSho and Genus... It gives the homebrew crowd a sense of community on here. Anyway, keep up the good work man, I know how much effort these videos take and you're killing it!
Awesome video. How much key lime extract did you use?
Half tbsp !
Hey man, how important is the DAP because its is kind of difficult to get where i am. Thanks for the great video.
Very important. Snag some on amazon
That red star yeast taste to wine like i couldn't get that flavor out
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?
I ounce DAP!
What products do you use to sanitize?
Starsan
Can you do a version where you bottle rather than keg it?
I see the Hops and Grain shirt. One of my favorite breweries here in Ausitn. Too bad they just shut down their taproom because complications of the pandemic
My girl got that for me. I actually havent been there. It sucks to hear about that tho
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!
Ur call just experimenting. Cheers mike!
TY Sir!!! Just wondering.... Take care!
I had a mostly clear liquid after using KC fine but still had a yellow haze and some off yeast flavor. I'm looking into carbon filtering now, anyone have any simply methods for homebrewing?
tune into the brajcast manana. Eric, you and I are gonna talk carbon filtering until the sun comes up
First, Stay away from turbo. Use lalvin EC1118
Second, invert your sugar with 1/4 Tsp citric acid per gallon, low simmer boil for 20 minutes.
Let cool,
Add a teaspoon of yeast nutrient and yeast energizer, because sugar washes don't have enough nutrients they will pH crash and you'll get a stuck ferment
4. When done fermenting, add a tsp sparkloid to a bit of water, bring to boil, let cool, add to gallon jug and toss in the fridge.
Wait a week.
Mine had no flavor from the alcohol or sugar wash, damn near crystal clear, and mates perfectly with good TTB extract.
STAY AWAY FROM OLIVE NATION. They are very hit or miss on the flavor and aroma. Blueberry is pretty much cotton candy.
Mango is decent
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 !
Made one with turbo yeast, it's 9% and does taste like Sake.
Any recommendations for fining? Gelatin or will something else work better.
Cheers!
no clue!
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE I'm still going to enter it in a Sake competition.
Thanks for the tip, it fermented in under 48 hours.
Thanks for the online store recommendations braj. Get that affiliate marketing monay. Will use ur code
Cheers Andy!
Braj what was your FG
Distill it mix it with sprite you're gonna get lemon lime Seltzers
Can we bottle this or is force carbing the way to go?
Ur call, but i dont bottle
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE I’ll bottle a case and see how many explode. Thanks brah
5 lbs of dextrose in the lutra hard seltzer results in about a 7% abv end product.
And then there's a MegaMan remix. You guys are awesome LOL
ha it's pretty much in ever video
@@HOMEBREW4LIFE yea ive realized that now after several 👍
How many batches do you think would be safe to make on the same yeast cake? Is there much trub after fermentation?
no clue
As super helpful as it was, I appreciate the reply lol. Love your content!
I found beard bruh heaven! And beer.
Cheers Rob!
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?
Everclear, distilled water, flavor.
Checks in the mail!
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?
Yes
Thanks bro 🍻
Braj! The snes music is so fucking pristine
