  • Steve and I challenged eachother to make a Graf (beer cider hybrid) but with a twist! We let a spinning wheel randomly pick the beer style. Will we discover something new and magical or an absolute disaster?
    Be sure to check out Steve's video to see where his wheel landed and the graf he made:

    I just made a shandy graf. My first time making anything with malt. We called it a Blonde Giraffe. The honey crisp juice didn’t seem to clear with pectic enzyme or sparkeloid. I did love it. Maybe the lemonade fermented a little bit and gave it a nice almost, white wine character. I dry hopped with some fun citrusy hops called Zamba.

    I remember the Brut style becoming popular for its short span after neipas had already become a big thing, as a response by people who didn't care for neipa by pretty much going the opposite extreme. Although, yes, neipa/hazies became even more popular afterward. Anyway, fun experiment and collab!

    Fantastic video as always! I also recently brewed a graf, but used a simple rye for the beer base. Turned out great, has insane head retention, and I used your previous video as inspiration to dry-hop.
    I agree with your addition of the wheat malt, since I think cider can be a bit thin when you use store-bought juice.
    Cheers 🍻

    A way of getting a random style to brew that isn't in your wheelhouse is great content. Brew-dudes has a similar concept series and I love it. I would also never say no to seeing more colabs between you and the appartment brewer.

    Cool little challenge!!! Enjoyed the video and wish I could’ve went down to SD as well!!! My buddy makes a graf that he calls Apple pie-der. I believe it’s 1 gallon of beer to get that graham cracker crust and 4 gallons cider for the apple flavor, really good and he makes it every year for thanksgiving! Cheers 🍻

    Really cool. Wonder how it would have turned out as is, but with no bittering hop additions?

    • @TheBruSho
      @TheBruSho  Рік тому +2

      That would be interesting, I think aiming for a Hazy IPA style could really work with a graf, less bitter and more flavor/aroma hops

    Hi Trent, I’ve only been homebrewing about a year now. I just did an apple pie hard cider about a month ago with Honeycrisp as well and back sweetened with a Allulose. (Bottle conditioning) I was going to take it to my next Homebrewer’s meeting and try it with Vanilla ice cream like a pie à la mode float, for lack of a better term. Hopefully it’ll be refreshing. 🍻

      It's still the same concept with Electric BIAB, but you can make amazing beer with propane and a bag still. I got some analog BIAB brews upcoming
