Hey stumbled across your video looking for a good pale ale recipe, but wanted to praise that you showed your cleaning process post brew day! A lot of 'big' videos/channels rarely do and as a beginner I really appreciate this!
Good vid. A lot more steps and gear than I use. I just BIAB and sparge, no other tubes and stuff going on. I really like the no chill in the kettle, never thought of that. I assume as long as you make it airtight with the cling wrap, you should be all good? Tired of faffing with ice baths to cool the wort, and chill cubes are in short supply right now
Nice video I was a little concerned when you pored the yeast onto the Starsan but it looks like it worked for you. I normally just just sprinkle it on top of the wort.
For me some of my fermenters are PET that are not heat tolerant above 50c, but my stainless steel conical can handle boiling wort, even the collection jar is rated to 100c liquid and the stainless helps to knock down the temp even more when transfering
@The Backyard Brewer Not sure what Michael is on about Rinsing starsan with water would mean you don't have a sanitized surface. The foam actually provides nutrients for the yeast from what I've read. Anyway how is the beer? I've been considering doing something similar now that Voyager Malts are available at my LHBS. I really need a break from making and drinking NEIPAs.
Im pretty sure for this one it was roughly 20L with 10L left over to sparge with. Ive been using 4L / Kilo of malt plus 2L for deadspace so on average ive been mashing between 18 and 23L
With my new brew bag i'm getting between 68% and 74% according to beersmith and with my last all grain beer I was down 3 points but i also had issues in the boil from a loss of heat for 20 minutes
hey, great video. i just got a brewzilla (had asked for the digiboil like you but SWMBO upgraded me - not complaining). Wondering a few things about the overnight no chill.... ever had any issues? does it make it harder to clean the kettle... also for PBW, what temp is best to recirculate it and do you re-use solution for that? cheers, keep it up
Hey Ryan, apologies for the late reply as I missed your comment. Ive never had an issue doing overnight no chill in the kettle. As long as its sealed to stop things potentially getting in and as long as you adjust your bitterness slightly to compensate the beer turns out just like chilled beer and you can't taste a difference. I recirculate my pbw around 55-60c and that temp seems to work well just dont put it that hot into plastic fermenters! For those i make sure my pbw is 40c or below and it still works as well
I wasn't able to get POR hops at the time and its been really hard to source. I still call it an Australian pale ale though as the focus is on the Australian flavour and aroma hops and it came out like a Beechworth plae ale.
It is better to rinse out soap suds before adding wort. When sanitizer in any quantity is beneficial for beer there is something wrong with the beer. The single temperature infusion method produces chemically imbalanced and unstable, extract to begin with, which cause off flavors to develop during fermentation and conditioning, adding sanitizer doesn't improve the issue. To produce ale and lager an entirely different brewing method and under modified, low protein, malt are used. Weyermann floor malt and Gladfield's American Malt are under modified. Modification is listed on a malt spec sheet as Kolbach and SNR. Malt, 40 Kolbach and lower is under modified. Under modified malt is richer in enzyme content than high modified, homebrew, malt. A spec sheet comes with each bag of malt and it is used for determining the quality of malt before it is purchased. Click on Gladfield's website and find American Malt. The spec sheet for the malt is on the page.
I didnt use soap so no soap suds? Starsan on the other hand is a tried and tested no rinse sanitizer so you dont need to rinse before adding wort. Im not sure what your talking about regarding single infusion mashing, its the most common mashing regime for both home and professional brewers and is proven
Ive had issues with efficiency myself, and it comes down to the bag and the grain crush. I dont crush my own grain but im lucky i can get it from a local shop that crushes well and ive ordered an expensive bag from the US that i hope will help as well

Using glad wrap to seal your kettle for an overnight chill and a genius !!!
Saves using and cleaning a cube

Well done fella 🍻🍻
Have you every tried harvesting Coopers yeast? I made a batch using yeast from their bottles and compared to US05, it was a big improvement IMO.
It's on my list of things to try
Hey mate nice video, did had any issues by leaving the wort cooling into to digiboil overnight ?
Thanks
Nice video I was a little concerned when you pored the yeast onto the Starsan but it looks like it worked for you. I normally just just sprinkle it on top of the wort.
i do nochill every time in fermenting buckets

Nice vid mate, getting ready to do my first brew in the Brewzilla and this was a great watch!

The beer was great and its all gone already!
Can you please provide your target profile of water salts?
I am going to brew a mirror pond pale ale
Awesome vid mate. Just wondering what the OG was?
OG was 1044
Hi Great vid what is your starting volume of water and how much do you spare will cheer Joel
Im pretty sure for this one it was roughly 20L with 10L left over to sparge with. Ive been using 4L / Kilo of malt plus 2L for deadspace so on average ive been mashing between 18 and 23L
What kind of efficiency do you get with this system?
With my new brew bag i'm getting between 68% and 74% according to beersmith and with my last all grain beer I was down 3 points but i also had issues in the boil from a loss of heat for 20 minutes

Super video bloke, just I would call that brew an American Pale Ale, due to the hops you used. Aussie Pale ale only have POR hops.
I wasn't able to get POR hops at the time and its been really hard to source. I still call it an Australian pale ale though as the focus is on the Australian flavour and aroma hops and it came out like a Beechworth plae ale.
Hi from Russia!
I'd rather have some narration. Sorry.
I did this one before I had a decent microphone i could narrate with

OG 1044, FG 1006, ABV 5%
@@thebackyardbrewer5611 cheers. I have a similar setup, 2 brews in and really struggling with efficiency. Keen for more content 😁🍻
