Random thought, would you be willing to do a video on which brands of grains are used in the recipes in your database? I know you may not have the data and that it's not as simple as that since, for example, someone may prefer Bairds two row for their stout but Rahr for their pale ale. I always wonder what people like and use, it seems impossible to run a head to head comparison for every possibility.
I brew this beer for competition, same stats: 1.073 og 26 IBU. 6.8% abv 3 months lager and didn’t pass the first round. Judges said that everything was great except the caramel profile was too high. I brew exact the same % grain bill… Hmm any suggestion?
I would suggest that you enter in a minimum of three competitions before you start tweaking the recipe. If you get the same comments then I would probably adjust the Caramunich to a lower percentage of the grain bill. The recipe as is has done very very well in american-based competitions
@@suwirwong Now I understand. I put the salts in the mash to hit the water profile I want for the mash. I want to continue this into the kettle so you can either add them to the sparge water, but I usually just add the sparge salts straight to the kettle. If I put all the salts in the mash tun at the beginning, I may alter the ph during the mash which is why I reserve some for either the HLT sparge water or directly into the kettle. I hope this answers your questions!
@@MeanBrews ahh thanks for the answer I will try your recepy ,hopefully it turn out what it suposed to .Btw ,shout out with love from homebrewer in Bali Indonesia.
Just tapped this Matt, still needs to carbonate more, but WOW! It’s fantastic, so tasty! Wish I made 5 gallons instead of 2.5!
So glad you finally covered this style. I'm definitely going to brew a variant of this at some point! Cheers!
Great video! Looking forward to the Czech Dark Lager. That is one I have been working on recently. Cheers!
It would be great to see a tasting video of all these recipes and maybe another persons review of the brews.
Maybe one day!
Just checking. Your Brewfather recipe has a 60 min boil but you recommend a 90 min here on UA-cam. Was this an intentional change?
Go with the video. The brewfather is likely an error

@@MeanBrews Thank You Matt!
What is the purpose adding salt twice??
not sure I follow...
@@MeanBrews in your brewfather recepy you add brewing salts during mashing and during sparging,what is your reason for that?

A 49/50? That’s crazy talk. Just publish the recipe and save yourself the time on the evaluation 😂
