I think its well worth while doing single hop beers to learn the flavour profile. Never seen anyone weigh grain in a wok either. Love your channel. Cheers
Thanks for the kind words. I am generally not a fan of many "Single Malt" beers but I find that most "Single Hop" pale ale style beers turn out very nice. I often measure out my grain into a 3-gallon pot. It holds a good amount of grain and fits well on my scale.
I have really enjoyed my Fermonsters (I used glass carboys for many years prior). I now have a pair of 3-gallon, a 7-gallon, and a 1-gallon. For cleaning, it is nice that you can reach down inside. I clean them well with a soft sponge and detergent. The krausen line can take a bit of work to clean. I use StarSan as my sanitizer. Cleaning spigots can be a challenge given how many nooks and crannies they have. There are some videos on UA-cam showing how to fully disassemble different spigot types. A 10 minute soak in 190F water is also a good way to ensure they are fully sanitized. I had a couple batches get infected a few years ago, and I suspect poorly cleaned spigots were the source.
I really like my 3-gallon Fermonsters. I often target 2.7 gal into the fermenter to try and get 2.5 gal into a keg. It works good for splitting a 5 gallon batch, or brewing a smaller batch.
I got it from my local shop here in Virginia (www.mylhbs.com/). I think with price hikes and supply issues they have been stocking some bags of grain just because they can get it in stock. It seems like a good base malt for the price. Shipping sacks of grain can be very pricey, so I would try to track down a local vendor.
I enjoy your videos - thanks for the upload!
Cheers! 🍻
Great video!
Next weekend I will make the same recipe on my mini batch equipment!!
Greetings from Argentina!
Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.

Another great video, always so informative. Looking forward to many more from you
Thanks for the kind words!
and wanted to say as well also.. try the ipa verdant yeast with simcoe its absolutley beautiful
Sounds great! Using Verdant in beers other than Hazy IPA has been on my list to try.
Hey! I just ordered myself a fermonster. You got any recommendations on cleaning and sanitising? Particularly for the tap

@@CascadesHomebrew I think I may have had this issue myself recently! Lesson learnt
have you ever tried some of the Kviek yeasts? since sometimes you are looking to turn around a beer abit quicker?
Voss is the only kveik strain and I have really enjoyed it in hoppy beers like Pale Ales and IPAs. Trying out Lutra is on my near term list.
I would like to get a smaller fermonster for test batches. Lugging around the 7 gallon gets heavy and if it sucks its a big waste.
