  • It's time for part three of our new series on how to brew your "first" beer from all grain and learn how to build recipes, discover beer styles and ultimately learn with us as Jo from our team here takes her first steps on brewing recipes of her own design. In this latest instalment, Jo takes on a truly British style. The ESB or Extra Special Bitter, a beer style we love here at TMMHQ for its malty character which plays along side well chosen hops and then a yeast choice that marries everything together. Full disclosure, we made some errors brewing this ESB, so it's not entirely true to it's style but brewing is a learning curve so sit back and learn with us as we see what we've brewed!

    Kudos to you for doing what we've all done privately, but in the public eye. Very brave and well done! Bravo

    Right, that's it, I'll order a kit now and brew this Friday. Will let you know.

    I've used Carafa Special 3 to colour by adding it to the top of the grain bill AFTER the mash and then sparging through it and the main grain. This way you get a small bit of colour to the final beer without any 'dark' flavours.

      Pretty much what breweries do if they just want color if they do not want to use roast malt beer concentrate

    That looks like a fine beer to me.
    The imperial stout I recently made (still fermenting) I over sparged by a few litres so had to boil 4 litres of runnings down to a syrup on the hob and add them into the kettle during the boil. OG was only a few points out (1.108 instead of 1.119) but it’s hit the FG1.028. It tastes fantastic so far. Transferring to secondary tonight onto cocoa nibs and oak chips. Sláinte!

    Brilliant video. I love the fact you’ve kept it real and celebrated the fact not everything goes to plan. However, in many cases the failure leads to some great learning. Well done on your 1st recipe. 👏👏👏👏

    Great video, like many others you've done that have been a massive help learning AG brewing.
    I made my first own recipe creation on Friday which also happens to be an ESB. Currently fermenting as I type.
    It's a 7l stovetop (sous vide) batch and I went for Target and First Gold, Bond yeast and 7 grains in total. All purchased from MM ;)
    I had a similar issue where my efficiency was higher (first brew using a recirculation pump) and has tipped my BU/GU number just out of style. The IBU figure at 36 seems fine though.
    Looking forward to tasting it, cheers and keep these videos coming.

    Well done Jo it looked a very nice beer indeed and one I would have been proud to have made!
    Many of my beers have been darker than I wanted but as long as they tasted nice I didn’t care.
    Really excellent attempt and you should be really well proud of yourself👍👍👍

    I just did a mild based on having amazing pint of Rudgate Ruby in Osset. But i was a touch heavy handed with the carafa and pale choc. Still lovely though. Similar experiences! Served it from a pressure barrel. Creamy. So good when a slight mistake still yields a great success. Cheers! (Less hoppy and only ekg so bit different)

    I tried to brew a Czech dark lager but I didn't know that I shouldn't add the Carafa until late in the mash. (Only my sixth brew).The wort tasted incredibly bitter, O.G. was 1.060.
    Fermented it anyway and just before bottling yesterday tasted it once again and the bitterness had diminished a great deal. Should be nice in a month or so.

  • @jauld360
    @jauld360 10 днів тому

    Years ago I made a very good, strong lager by adding too much DME to a recipe from David Line's book Brewing Beers Like Those You Buy. A happy accident!

  • @mikebeswick3420
    @mikebeswick3420 10 днів тому

    Surprised no coffee choc flavours. Probably killing hop taste. Would expect more Porter profile.
    I would love this beer being a mild bitter ale drinker. Well done for first ale brewing. Subtlety is key. In my opinion.

    Great video and really informative. Personally I'm in favour of the darker colour plus I'm a big fan of Harlequin hops. Will be looking to brew something very similar for late summer BBQ's. Maybe we should rename the style JSB!

    Forget BJCP. BJCP is just the Yanks opinion of what a type of beer should be rather than what it should actually be like. They can't even get to grips with the English language

    I would just ignore BJCP. I don't think they get it right with British beers.
