Love your videos Graham. Straight forward, easy to follow and no irritating background music to drown out the dialog. Just discovered you bye accident. Keep up the good work !
Ok, so this is my dream home brew. I currently brew on the stove with a big pot and a mesh bag. Once fermentation is finished in my plastic container, I bottle. I've made a number of stouts and porters but this is the dream. I'd love to know more about your setup and the exact ingredients and instructions for this recipe. As I said, this here is the dream. Slâinte!
Have only just come across your channel mate & I'm salivating at this, I'm new to home brewing & i like the look of your setup. Think i will need to try this.
You've joined the dark side now, my friend. It's great to see you progress along your brewing journey. Brings back great memories of my own. Keep 'em coming pal. Cheers!
Yes Graham... Best video yet I feel!! I was going to ask how it compared to the other kits but I saw your reply to Mrhen93.- I'm determined this summer to get myself a mixed gas setup and south font / tap and do my own... Thanks again Graham.👏👍 Dan
Notty is a great yeast. Currently doing a blonde ale with it fermenting at 14C. It'll still work down that low, but I usually make ales with it at 18-20C
Mate, this looks incredible. You have to go into more detail about what you're pouring from? What is this Guinness contraption you're using with the two taps? Is it just a custom tower/font that's connected to a kegerator underneath the counter? Great job again!
Alright Joshua. I am using a Guinness tap with a creamer nozzle . I force carbonate my stouts with 70/30 nitrogen co2 gas mix . Then I have my stout in corni kegs in an under counter fridge. Served cold . Thanks for the views and comments mate . Happy brewing cheers 🍻
So inspired by this video, I went and bought a brewzilla (similar to the Klarstein). Just one question, could you avoid the CO2 setup altogether and just get a nitro setup? I imagine it would be cheaper to not get both and I only really want a smooth Guinness.
Congratulations on your purchase mate . Yes of course you can you only need co2 if your going to make beers . Good look with your first brew day cheers 🍻
Great stuff as always , some work went into that , i bet waiting to slurp it while settling felt longer than the 3 weeks fermenting 😂😂 . Also how do u find the keg in fridge system rather than the cooler ?ive just finished a few brews lagers and pale ales very hard with the summer heat i had the ink bird temp control on the fermentor fridge set at 18 , im doing a few stouts soon but extract so whats the best one u reckon ? The coopers irish can with liquid malt ?? Cheers bud
Alright Rob , it was wort all the effort 😊 an super pint I had a friend over last nt and we both really enjoyed the pints probably to much 🤪. I made the fridge set up instead of my cooler because the kegs are kept at the same temperature all the time . When I used my cooler the kegs are on the floor and temperature changes with the room so I think it better for the brew to be at a constant cold temperature and if I fancy at pint at anytime it’s ready to go don’t need to turn the cooler on and wait 😎. I got the fridge new that fits 2 corni kegs for €149 so cheap set up

Hi Graham, yet again another great vid! 👍. Can I ask what psi do you serve at? I have a nitro 70/30 setup but mine doesn't seam to flows as nicely as yours. I have mine set to 30 psi
On the force carbonating video, you said I should ask if I had any more questions.. I've been wanting to have my own setup to brew and serve a Guinness clone from tap since the bars closed in 2020. Only now did I manage to scrape enough to begin getting the kegging equipment together.. But researching online was for free.. Would you mind any questions on the specific recipe, if it had the sour twang and different methods to achieve that?
Great video Graham, good to see the new system up n running. Super looking pint too ! I cant wait to get my nitro set up sorted out. Any chance of a look at your recipe? ive brewed a few guinness clones, all a little bit different from each other. You will be firmly hooked on the allgrain road now. cheers
Makes me jealous everytime you pour a pint🤤 I thought you may have wanted to put a flake in the top once that head was formed 😂 how do you find this compares to the Young's and Cooper's?
This is different than both . The coopers and young’s are a great pint from kit but I think when you brew from grain it takes it up another level. I will 100% still do kits I am actually going to make a new one today. They are much easier as I can make one start to finish including cleaning up 40mins compared to half a day with grain . So I will continue to do a mix of both . 😎
Alright Matt it’s 70% nitro and 30% co2 some suppliers have 75/25 mix . You also set your regulator between 35 and 37 psi cheers mate hope that helps 🍻

Hi Graham. Another great video. Keep them coming. :) Can I ask what Hops you are using in this? I am going doing an extract stout but not sure on what hops to use.
Hi Graham, 10 points for looks mate! Just got a couple questions... can you please post your grain bill, specific type of water used, also hops types, and fermentation temperature? Also, do you pressurize with Nitro, if so whats your carbonation process? I get the cascading waterfalls when I do a stout, but never as soft and subtle ... it'd be great if you include this type of info as stamps on your videos :)
Thanks mate was a lovely pint . The grain bill is included in that video. I force carbonate it with 70/30 nitrogen mix . I find now the best way to get the creamy soft and subtle pint is the make sure when I cold crash it’s really cold and I only fill the keg 3/4 (recently) so there is more room for more gas when force carbonating. Enjoy cheers 🍻

Hi Graham, just a question. I've recently purchased a kegging system after previously bottling for some time. What is the best way to age a kit style brew in kegs before drinking to avoid the slightly fruity (sometimes described as granny Smith apple tast) that you get when drinking a brew to soon. Previously I would bottle the beer with carbonation drops and let the bottles sit for around 4 weeks before chilling and drinking. When kegging, how to you replicate this? Is it best to keg the beer, pressurise it and let the keg sit for the same period of time as you would when bottling?
Alright Dogsy . With my stouts and beers I usually transfer from my fermentation bucket into a secondary barrel and put down in my shed where it is cold but if temperature is to warm I have a fridge I put it in to cold crash , before I keg I pour a small glass to taste test . Then I transfer into my clean keg force carbonate and serve . Hope that helps . The cold crashing is very important in my opinion to clear the brew and help it condition . Are you doing a stout or beer
@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 Thanks for the reply mate. I've got two fermenters and usually brew Coopers Irish Stout and Morgans draught. Previously I have bottled both after around two weeks in the fermenter or when I get stable hydrometer readings over a period of a few days. Any beer I have made always tastes better if you leave bottled for at least 3 weeks. This is my first time kegging. I have a twin tap system and two 19 litre kegs in a keg fridge.
I wonder if after kegging my beer, I should just pressurise the kegs to 30psi then leave them sitting in the keg fridge (kegerator) for 3 weeks or so before drinking..
Hi Graham, I have a question for some advice. I have 10l of Guinness clone which I want to barrel condition for two weeks before I transfer half to an iKegger 5l for nitro, once that is gone I have the other half for the iKegger. When I transfer from fermenter to 2 gallon pressure barrel, should I force carbonate (small cartridge version)?
Alright Toby if it was me I would use the 5ltr then put the rest in when it’s empty. Co2 cartridge would give you a fizzy stout . If you keep it cold in the fridge as soon as you run out transfer it into the 5ltr and force carbonate . (Or is the cartridge 70/30)
@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227 The iKegger is a 5L keg that has the stout spout and you charge it with N2 cartridges and N20, as well as the standard CO2. It's on its way from Germany and it will be an experiment. Take a look at the range, they have many sizes and options, the stout spout will also pour CO2 ales. I have 10L in the fermenter and wanted to condition in the 2 gallon pressure, when it's ready I can then transfer. I don't have the fridge space for the 10l keg. I was thinking that I could condition with low priming sugar just to remove any O2 from the PB, the stout should keep in there long enough for me to use 5L. The iKegger system is adaptable for gas bottles, plus the 5L is portable, proper draught stout in a can! Edit: I've been looking at the barrel and I now see what you mean, rack 5L into the keg and the rest into the barrel. I'll b e back with the results in two weeks.
Hi Graham. The kit arrived yesterday, and I had some bottled stout in the fridge to test it. It certainly works and I got the cascading pour. I will confess, it was the first time I have poured a Guinness style stout. The stout itself is one of my first ones and I have learnt a lot since about the recipes, the clone I started two weeks ago is still fermenting in the cupboard, nearly two weeks, as soon as that is ready I will try it. Quick video request, please will you show how to pour properly? I drank Guinness for years but never served one behind a bar. Cheers mate, I hope you are getting the Easter weather we are.
@@grahamlawlorshomebrewrevie8227Hydromodulus - the ratio of malt to water used in the mash. The hydromodulus influences the initial gravity of the wort and determines the total amount of water needed for brewing. For example, 1/4 per kilogram of grain is 4 liters of water
