      @@MeanBrews love to see a couple brew days using your kits and tasting, what system you use. A walk through of the brew shop you're affiliated with, & meet & greet. Would enjoy the ins & outs of how to enter a contest, how to package entries, who where what why😂 you have vids to do, but only if you want too🇺🇸🍻🇺🇸 it may be more of a chore than fun..

      @@MeanBrews It seems like it's mostly british styles missing. Old Ale, Winter Warmer, Best Bitter, London Porter, English Barleywine to name a few. Looking forward to them all :)

    Thanks for another great video. These are great recipe designs to work from. I'm starting to focus more on water chemistry and am still in the learning phase, but I noticed that your sulfate to chloride ratio is quite high and was wondering what impact that high of a ratio has on this beer style. Based on my basic understanding, I thought higher ratios like this were designed more for higher-IBU American IPA's.

    • @MeanBrews

      some recipes used burton water salts this skewed the minerals towards being very hard water. I've heard from my UK based brewer friends to "Not be afraid to use salts" I tend to agree with them on this.

      ​@@MeanBrewsI'm not afraid to use salt, I still find this profile a bit unbalanced. I'd go 75-100 Chloride and 150-200 Sulphate.

    I know the mean concept but just wanted to note that there is a specialty malt called Caramalt. I dont know why homebrewers ignore that but it covers mostly all the caramel flavors in Bitters perfectly. I strongly recommend that. Like 90% MO 9-10% Caramalt and maybe 1% biscuit makes a super nice grist for a Bitter. Cheers!

    • @MeanBrews
      @MeanBrews  Рік тому

      I usually group caramalt in with the other light crystals

    In the fermentation schedule, why raise from 68F to 70F?

    • @MeanBrews
      @MeanBrews  Рік тому +1

      I raised the temperature of just about every beer as the fermentation closes out just to make sure it attenuates as much as it can

    1:55. So the secret to brewing an award winning Ordinary Bitter is to brew a Best Bitter and then enter it into the wrong category.
