Nice way of cooling the wort in the little squeezer thing. I'm pretty sure the difference between ATC refractomers and other cheap ones is a sticker that says ATC on it.
I've been dunking the whole head of the refractometer in the wort for a sec and I do notice it changes over about 10 minutes.
It amazes me how clear the wort is with circulation. I'm going to have to McGyver up something to do that. Cheers.
I know plenty that do just dunk the head, I dunked my old one and the little plastic screen thing fell off into the wort... had to drain the kettle before the boil.. ATC usually means, well near always, 0-30c or 32F to 86F.
Theres a few reasons I chill mine, one is to get the sample in that range quickly, just leaving it on the table for a few minutes and the heat causes evaporation and skews the reading.
Dunking the head might be ok once, but very soon, especially if you take multiple readings the refrac will itself be very hot, skewing readings massively.
In the heat of my garage sometimes combined with the heat or wort evaporation can occur near immediately.
One reading is fine, and its really good when you hit your numbers, but those days you don't and you end up taking multiple readings is when all that heat can play havoc.
Is it really needed what I do, no, does it make my readings more reliable and accurate with just a glass of ice and water, and 15 seconds extra work. Yes!
Cheers mate and thanks very much for watching!
I am new to home brewing and this was the most helpful brew video I have seen to date. Answered most of my questions as the video went along. Thank you so much for the great education.
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Love your grain to glass vids! I'm a detail nerd so I'm happy to see as much info as I can get, well done
Awesome, thank you! Cheers!
Great video, amazing attention to detail, I'm always learning so thanks for taking the time to make it. Cheers from France!
Thanks for watching, Cheers Philip!
Great video, the voice over style is easy to follow and very informative! Cheers!
Thanks for watching Robbie, cheers mate!
I am new to Home brewing but love watching your videos!
Really straight forward and easy to follow, I have done 10 ish brews and with your help have all come through fantastic!
I even tried Voss Kveik under 1 bar it it was awesome!
Thats great hear mate, its all about the beer! Cheers Steve
Another super informative video. I always end up with trub and junk in my fermenter and will be dumping that like you just showed us how. Thank you!
Good luck with your future brews mate! Cheers!
I have one of those funnels too, and still use the sieve too as I found the little sieve that came with the funnel clogged quickly
Great video and awesome looking beer Gavin, I like the voice over and your spin on beers are always a treat. Cheers mate
The voice over thing while its more work, I can also video more brews because I dont have to shut the kids up etc So its a pay off.. this vid took near 3 days to edit but videoing was easier, didnt have to repeat things I'd made a mistake saying or getting tongue tied. I need a camera man and editor hahaha Cheers Nick
Mind blown how fantastic that looks! Mouth was drooling during the review
So good!
Brewing this today, with czech malts though, cant get New Zealand in Czech Republic. I hope it will be ready for New Year´s Eve. Cheers.
So I was one of the 60%. I’ve now subscribed. Thanks for the videos.
Cheers Gash! Great video. That anti foam is amazing.
Does the trick mate! Cheers!
That'd be a nice drop I'd expect - very similar to how I used to make Pilsners.
I tend to use the Urquell or Budovic yeasts though, mainly because I have them
I might give your recipe a go once the weather starts to get cooler.
I too like the voice-over style of video for the actual brew time.
Nice work mate.
Cheers Gerry!
Great video as usual 👍 Always something to learn of them. Keep on making more 😀
Thanks for watching mate, cheers!
I liked this video style. The intro was cool and so are tunes. Cheers
Cheers Tom, thanks for taking the time to watch mate
Nice grain to glass Gash. Always well im explained. Great looking beer too mate. Cheers 🍻
Cheers Parko, thanks for taking a look mate!
Great video. All explained.
I have tried a couple of times to replicate the beer I had while in Pilsen... honestly even with correct water chemistry, temperature control fermentation, etc. etc. I still never get close. I chalk it up to my skill level, and perhaps I was also tasting the experience as much as I was the beer. Great Video -Cheers
Cheers mate, thanks for watching!
I will try to brew it here in Brazil, cheers
Great video, thanks for sharing
Awesome video I've been looking for a pills and a recipe to try. I'll definitely give your buddy's recipe a look!
Thanks very much for watching mate! Cheers!
Jobs a good one. I appreciate this recipe
I like to do my pilsners the old-school way doing a triple decoction with just bohemian pilsner malt. Just for the funsis
Makes for a long brew day, but is satisfying when it all turns out, Cheers!
Can't understand why anyone would dislike this video, must be from NZ.
Great work. I hope you can do more no chill videos, that’s the only method I can do at the moment.
Yep I can, I've done a fair few the last few years, lots in fact. Cheers!
Really enjoyed this video. Doing the camera on the tripod and voice over afterwoods makes it super easy to follow and see what your doing.
Thanks for watching Jack, cheers!
i agree, it makes watching the videos as a newbie easier to understand
I agree. You've made great videos even better cheers Slug.
No need for a decoction mash or the addition of Munich. Take the first wort runnings (or part thereof) and boil it down to about half. This will give you the same flavours and colours as a serious decoction. Also add at least half your 60 min hops at the beginning of this boil-down, this will give you the signature spicy flavours. H-Strain is the best yeast but only comes in liquid form. If you have got the time, a longer, cooler ferment is better and then if you have even more time - lager it for 90 days at minus one degree C. You will be surprised at the results!
I did one with triple dekoktion and pilsener malt only .. as far I can tell, because it is still in the fermenter the color turned out right like pilsener urquell... I think it is absolutely not necessary to add darker malts if you do dekoktion like they do in pilsen
Exactly, thats why I made sure I added some, to make up for not doing a decoction. Cheers mate, I hope yours turns out great!
Nice my favourite beer and the one I wish to perfect. 👌
Gday Gash! I’m looking to make something similar but more of an extract version as I don’t have all the required equipment for a full grain brew. Do you have any recommendations on the best way to go about it? I have saaz hops and the same lager yeast plus some grains for steeping. Cheers
How did you make Polyclar? its awesome stuff.
Thanks for all your videos 👍🏻
May i ask what waterprofile you go for?
Keep up the god work!
It was a pilsen profile. Cheers!
Well... I have No Comments Gavo!!! Seriously you have done great job as I can see. Colour is fine and Munich 1 is ok too, I don't have the RO filters here so had to use darker Munich and Cara Pils to get pH bit lower as it's essential for this style but you did that from scratch so it won't be that far with Munich 1 and single step infusion. PU is bit darker than e.g. Czech Budvar (Ceske Budejovice) or Velkopopovicky Kozel light so I like your colour for sure. The Decoction ... well it's gonna be a challenge coz it is 3 step procedure and then we don't need to use too much Munich, decoction will make the colour darker again and body taste be pumped up a bit too. We can have chat later anyway if necessarily. I quite happy you are happy with your version of my version from PU version LOL. If you can get clone from PU Brewery that would be great but Pilsner Urquell recipe been made by Josef Groll about 180 years ago and all Brew Master Generation keep this recipe under the lid too keep Trade Mark on. Now I have to go back to my last vid with Gash's Jedi Juice NEIPA and work out how to put your channel link there LOL, I'm hopeless :-DD. Or at least link with this video to the commentary window or so... Well done Gash, well done!!! Cheers bro!!!
Cheers Kacer :) Love your work!
@@HomeBrewNetwork Cheers mate! ;-)
Good night could you tell me if you were going to use the ramps without making decoctions what the ramps would be, thank you!
Great vid Gash! Yewww
Cheers Hofmann!
Love these videos. I've never tried to do the cubes here TN but it would be neat to try. Do you use Brew'n Water for your water profiles? Is so, what one did you use. I use RO and would like to use the same "salts" you used.
I used Beersmith for this profile, I use Beersmith or EZwater. Cheers mate, thanks for watching! It would be a pilsen profile if it has one. Let me know, I'll sort it out for you, it's definitely not like the American Lager profiles I've seen, its very very low in salts. Cheers!
This video makes me want to start brewing again lol
Do eeeet
hmmm, Reschs Real. Used to love that beer.
hahaha Had a reschs on tap at Christmas , Cheers!
Thanks for sharing this! Very enjoyable to watch.
I'm about to brew my first beer..equipment is in transit and I'm reading a metric shit ton about brewing.
My kettle is 19 litres.. or, 5 gallons, in total.
How do I reduce the amount of grain+hops+water+yeast to brew 16 litres?
I need to leave some headspace in the kettle after all..
Thanks in advance and best wishes from India.
Some of the free online brewing software (brewers friend is the one I use) allow you to input a recipe and then scale it up or down to your desired brew size. It'll automatically adjust your grains, hops etc. Another option would be to just work out the percentage difference and adjust everything accordingly. Might not be exactly right, but probably good enough.
Good Job
Thank you Saam much appreciated mate
Just found your channel and really enjoying it mate. Well done
Have you ever done a double mash on your system? Would you ever try an all grain high ABV brew? How would you do it?
No I havent done one, I dont drink many high alc% beers. I have done a 9% stout, well it ended up 13% after vodka soaked cacao and coconut was added! I just did a big mash, boiled for 2 hours, and ended up with 15L batches, that was quite enough for me, I think that was about 4 year ago, and I still have a few bottles.. hahaha Cheers!
I may do a big beer for this winter
Hate to necro-comment on a 3 year old video, Gash, but another awesome video. Don't know how I missed it before. Next time I'm up at 4 AM, and you're doing a live stream, I'll pop on and say high! (Like I did last time lol)
Anyway, cheers from the east coast of the USA 🇺🇸 👍
Cheers mate , thanks. Now the weather is getting warmer here I'll be doing a lot more live streams. Cheers!
Great video as always, thanks. I've noticed that you've changed the way you're using the Brewzilla - when you're mashing in are you not stiring it as you go? What is the underletting you speak of? I'm having some efficiency problems with my Zilla and am wondering if I'm stiring too much and not letting the grain bed set properly. Would be great if you could do a video that explains your process, these days, for using the Brewzilla to get the best out of it. It's not your responsibility to do it, I understand, but there are very few good videos out there that really go into how to maximise the unit. Anyway - thanks for all the great content.
Sorry mate, I thought I explained that in the video. There's 2 reasons really why I used it this way, the top plate is a good idea if for any reason you have to leave the house while mash is on, I don't recommend this but I had no choice on the day, I could of turned it off I guess.. The other reason I did one like this is that there are some of my viewers that think I am brewing "wrong" when I dont use it because I'm not following the instructions....
Stirring is what I would recommend if anyone is having efficiency issues, stirring is good, many commercial breweries have stirrers.
To be honest there really isnt much more I can show in this video, it shows the whole thing.
For me to help you I need to see your recipes, including everything, the expected numbers, the actual numbers you got, mash and sparge water amounts and temperatures, everything. Then I may be able to help.
I really havent changed anything except this brew the top screen was on.
Cheers and thanks for watching!

Great work Gash, can you do an extract recipe for this or your Australian style filtered beer?
Thanks
AB
hmmmm I'll have a think... any particular Aussie style beer you're after? Cheers Andy!
@@HomeBrewNetwork A lager would be great!
Mate do you ever do brews with the centre pipe out and no top screen? I have a bolt that can plug in the hole in the screen. Wondering if it will be easier.
Yes I have, I hardly ever use the top screen, only if I'm going out to the shops or something. Otherwise no top screen. I havent taken out the centre pipe on the 35L but I have on the 65L, only reason is I didnt have a bolt and they sell a spare bottom for the 65L without a hole in it! So I would and will for sure. Cheers!
Interesting Video, thanks. I like the color. The grain you are using, I assume not all of them are available in Europe? What you recommend? What about the hop? Available in Europe?
Maybe not, the pilsner malt could just be a straight swap for another pilsner malt, and the gladiator you might use carapils instead, the rest are all available in europe, no issues. Cheers!
Hey Gav i was wondering why do you go to the cube and not straight into the fermenter mate?
It was the middle of summer and had no way to chill the wort down anywhere near low enough for a lager ferment. Cheers!
Hello how are you going? .The X series fridge fan can you leave it on all the time or just part-time and if you don't put the fan on does it turn on auto to defrost?
You can leave it on, I turn mine off cause it's a bit noisy for where I have it, it's opposite my bedroom, but its really up to you, the circulation helps of course, but not entirely needed, if you put a warm.keg in I'd turn it on, or for a drinking session for sure, otherwise it's not essential. Cheers!
To bad you are too far away. I would have loved to come around for a taste. "Proost" from Amsterdam.
My door is always open to visitors! Proost!
Hi Gash what PH meter you are using any link to buy one? Thanks
This one at the moment, bit.ly/BeverageDrpHmeter Cheers!
Hi
Really like the videos.
You seem to be the resident expert on the brewzilla so I'd like to ask you a question about it before I dive in and buy one. I tend to brew small batches 10l so I don't end up with loads of beer I don't like, is it possible to brew smaller batches in the BZ? Also is it robust or wafer thin steel, I haven't actually seen one so just curious as to build quality.
Thanks for any advice and keep up the good work.
Theres no reason you couldnt do 10L batches.. umm I'd probably use a bag in it, since the grain bed would be very small. Its as solid as any of them , well except for the Braumeisters, you can buy a 10L braumeister :) pricey though. I 've never tried a batch that small. I did a 15L batch but it was kinda different a huge 9% stout, and a 2 hour boil. Sorry I'm not much help with that, I could try one, just not sure when I'll get the chance. Cheers mate!
@@HomeBrewNetwork
I've used the braumeister 10 at work and it is solid but don't like the balancing act with the grain pipe and bar support, also a bit limited if you want to make a bigger batch, price is also a big no no so was looking at competition.
Brewzilla looks the best as comes with everything and I like the false bottom rather than the torpedo filter of the grain father, not too expensive either.
At home I just have a buffalo tea urn and bags which is ok but looking for a bit more automation in order to control quality and repeatability.
Thanks for the advice.
as a newbie to all grain i have a couple of questions, 1,whats the rice hulls for? second question, if your filling a single keg of 19 litres why do you fill the unit to 30 litres
Rice hulls help with wort or water flow through the grain bed, sometimes it gets a bit like porridge, the rice hulls help to keep the flow going.
I fill to 30L because 4-5L will boil off, and about 3-4L will be left behind in the kettle after draining. So your left with about 22-23L to go into fermenter, in the fermenter you will leave behind 2 or 3L with all the old yeast and hops etc Leaving you with around 20L of cleared and very tasty beer! :) Cheers!
Many thanks
I feel like the pinned comment hints at this, but what's the rationale between using "the cube" between your kettle and the primary fermenter?
its a no chill, saves time, saves water. You dont use it till the next day, or months even if needed. It can also be used for clearing the wort, you siphon off the clear wort and leave any kettle trub behind. Cheers!
Ever use budejovice Czech yeast?
Not personally, friends have, was a nice yeast. Cheers!
Really nice video, you explain so a dumb sweed can understand. Thanks for the tips 👍🍻
Dumb? My Grandmother was part swede! :) Thanks very much for watching Hans, Cheers mate!
Are they Blank Cans behind you in the Video? Are you moving towards Canning Beers?
They are cans, long story, but they were a gift, I'll try and review and try it out soon, they've been sitting here months, I don't really have a need for it, but it's the first brew thing I've actually got for free in a very long time. Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork Awesome, I've been eyeing off a Canner, just the price is up there
Can you do video on using pvpp? Finding it hard to find anything.
Its in a few of my videos, you take some of the hot wort, cup or two, mix some pvpp in that, and add it back to the boil 10mins before end. I can be used post ferment but I dont use it there. Cheers!
PVPP is a plastic. That needs to be filtered out.
Greetings from Czech Republic! :)
I'm sorry hahaha Cheers!
The Home Brew Network why do you say sorry? :)
@@davidkovarik483 For butchering a great recipe :)
@@HomeBrewNetwork No worries mate, one of the lovely things of homebrewing is own interpretation of classic recipes. And I am saying this as a Czech homebrewer/beer lover who is proud of Pisner Urquell. So cheers and GL in your homebrewing! :)
@@HomeBrewNetwork you not butchering the recipe coz no one knows what is the original recipe anyway LOL. You have done it well mate ;-)!!! Proud of you!!
I noticed you didnt oxygenate your wort, do you omit this stage now?
It was probably oxygenated enough during the filling if the fermenter, though dry yeast doesn't need it anyway. that's why :) Cheers and thanks for watching!
@@HomeBrewNetwork I didnt realise that about dry yeast... I must say I have been going back to dry yeast more and more lately, the advantages are adding up, I dont know about you but I think the quality has improved in the last few yrs too. The convenience is hard to beat, no need for starters, sprinkle it on top away ya go, or for lagers just two packets. There cheap enough to have a selection in the fridge and there good for literally years . The variety is not as good as liquid but it is improving slowly here in new zealand anyway with mangrove jacks adding some new variety's lately I noticed. cheers

Reinheitsgebot shed a tear...
Which bit upset him do you think? :)
Pointless to tighten the fermzilla upper ring that tight as tightening does not have any effect on the O-ring of the lid. Just more pain to remove if tightened too hard.
It wasn't very tight, maybe it looked that way. Cheers and thanks for watching!
Nice angles mate, Haha......I will have to give that yeast a crack, next lager I do, Cheers
Haha 💪😜🤙
May I suggest NOT doing an iodine test over the brew.. if any iodine falls in the brew it will kill the yeast... and so won't ferment
Just for the video mate, I would never do it over a hot wort just because its uncomfortable, a pain in the arse, and that amount of iodine isnt going to kill the yeast, but thanks for the tip! Cheers mate!
First
You should get a prize :)
@@HomeBrewNetwork They're their own prize - a prize bellend!
ABBA
Why don't you just call it a Czech pale lager or a bohemian lager? Because nothing in your grist, yeast or brewing process resemblance how pilsner Urquell is brewed. You did brew with soft water and you used saaz hops, I'll give you that. Did you know that Pilsner Urquell is mashed with a mash PH of about 4,7 not 5,2? Apparently this makes the beer more crisp. Why didn't you at least use the commercial available Wyeast 2001 Urquell yeast or WLP802 Czech Budejovice?
I didnt say mine was a clone, I did supply the clone recipe. Mine was called Pilsner Un -Reall , not real. Don't take things too seriously! Cheers and thanks very much for watching!
Calm ya farm, mate.
