Another great part to this series. I am not a new brewer but I am learning new things from each part! Many thanks for all you do.
Cheers Alan, great to hear 🍻🍻🍻
A hypothetical, but say you have a pressurized fermentation vessel, could you then dry hop in a hop rocket/missile in a closed circuit that has been flushed with CO2?
It would keep the hop matter out of the bulk of your beer and the agitation could speed up your extraction.
I am not sure how effectively that would work in all honesty. Hop matter is not such an issue either really. A better use would be as a hop randall for serving.
Thanks David, regarding the hop stand at 80 degrees, is it safe to allow the wort to cool down naturally (but slowly) or should you use a chiller to get to 80 degrees as quickly as possible?
Cheers Chris. Ideally you want to do it quickly, the faster the better. This aids in clarity.
Not to change the subject to hops and I and I apologize for my ignorance I have a question about brewing knowing your boil off rate and approximately what's going to be absorbed by the grainNot to change the subject to hops and I and I apologize for my ignorance I have a question about brewing knowing your boil off rate and approximately what's going to be absorbed by the Grains Is that considered in the recipe at the beginning or do we need to adjust but just to add water for our losses
No problem at all John. The easy way is to use Brewing software to assist. Brewfather for example has profiles for all popular brewing systems with all of this data built in. It will then tell you the water to use for the brew. Brewfather can be used free of charge with some limitations but calcs and info like this is without limitation.
Hi David sorry for annoying you again about the dead space in the g40 ie 7.5 litres of water will I be able to recover it on brew day or is it really lost if so I will struggle to get my two 20 litre fermenters thanks any help much appreciated thanks
You will be fine in filling two 19L kegs by the end.
Love your videos. :) thx for doing all the videos.
Cheers Pierre 🍻🍻🍻
Hi David/ Beer Guru haha, Can I ask some advice please? Test batch 5 getting there, colour and taste good but just not sweet like Sweetheart Stout. 10L Batch 300g Lactose, 150G Maltodextrin, 20g East Kent. If I reduce the hops to 10g do you think this will produce a sweeter taste? Thanks in advance :)
Hi Paul, sure no problem.
Sure, you can reduce the hops and that will reduce the bitterness. I would also try a yeast like Lallemands London. It does not eat all types of sugars. Could be ideal.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew Thank you I will try that. I was using Safeale SO4. I tried your Munich Helles Lager recipe at the weekend and its currently in the GF fermenter so look forward to trying that in a few weeks cheers :)
Cheers Paul, enjoy 🍻🍻🍻
Don't forget that big breweries use hop extract as well
There are two different methods to extract the alpha acids and aromas (oils) out of the hop cones
CO² - Extract -> extracting the good stuff with high pressure and liquid CO² (super cold but turns into gas when getting warmer leaving you with the good stuff)
and
Ethanol-Extract -> the good stuff is "washed" out of the cones with alcohol which then evaporates leaving you with only the good stuff
Those extracts are sold in big cans labeled with their alpha acid content in grams (so the brewery can calculate how much is needed)
If you ever come across hop extract be advised that it is very bitter! I speak of experience (had something on my finger while opening the can and licked it...bad Idea)
Sure but this is a guide for homebrewers.
I have used it a fair bit and yes, it is not for tasting on a finger! 🍻
@@DavidHeathHomebrew thought so
Wanted to educate further :)
All good information for sure and appreciated 🍻
Excellent information about Hops. Thank you. ♠
Cheers Linda 🍻🍻🍻
Thanks for your expertise.
Cheers Patrick 🍻🍻🍻
Only Dip Hopping left ;)
Its a method of Hop tea really
Hi David, thank you for your informative explanation. Hopefully you can help me with the following. I always coldcrash my beers such as IPAs and Neipa's to get rid of any flavour deviations, I get good results with this. Sometimes better than other times, shall we say. Now I would like to know if I have to dryhopped a beer for 3 days for example, does it make a difference in taste if I coldcrash this beer afterwards for another 5 days, or does it not matter much?
Cold crashing after dry hopping is the best time for clarity but this will slow down conditioning which leads to more balanced flavour.
Hallo, I have some doubts about AA because I had used northdown hop with 7,9 AA to make a beer with ibu 40 and another batch with Chinook hop with 11 AA, the bitterness with Chinook is not the same, AA is not good for calculating ibu y think the cohumulone percentage is the answer
Do keep in mind that different hops have different styles of bitterness.
I wasn't aware of the continuous hopping technique, very interesting. Not feasible for the 1 gallon batches that I make unfortunately, with only a few grams of hops used.
Its a great way to go for regular and larger batches.
Thanks David. Great video as usual. Some great little snippets in there. My neighbour is growing some Cascade so your piece on wet hopping is very useful.
Cheers Phil 🍻🍻🍻
Hi David. Thanks for another informative video.
I'm curious, are you planning on doing anything on hop oils/extract in the future as they seem to be gaining in popularity?
Cheers John. Yes, more than likely down the road.
As usual 👍 Funny the first screen shot you showed looks like Fruit Bomb Triple IPA, just brew it last weekend and look forward to taste it.
Thanks for all your recipe and knowledge you are sharing. Just incredible. Thank you indeed...
Cheers Allan, I think it was 🍻
Glad you found this useful 😎
As always great video! Thoughts on Biotransformation?
Cheers Colin. Ive tried it, in all honesty I think it is a marketing word rather than anything super useful. See what you think though 🍻
Interesting video. So the main benefit of a hop missile is improved flavour? I thought it was just a way to avoid too much hops in the kettle.
Thanks 🍻🍻 Improved flavour and aroma yes. This is why a hop back is popular in commercial brewing too.
Really interesting video, thank you! Cheers!
Cheers Jimmy 🍻🍻🍻
Another great video DH! 🍻
Cheers CH 🍻🍻🍻
Muito bom Portugal Aveiro... Obrigado
Cheers 🍻🍻🍻
First again :-)
Very nice 🍻🍻🍻
Great work as usual. Thank you for all that energy you share with us.
Cheers Luc 🍻🍻🍻
Hey David!
Hi 🍻🍻🍻
Too much hopping, your beer keeps flopping. Tons of hops? Call the cops!
Haha. Cheers Ronny 🍻🍻🍻
@@DavidHeathHomebrew Cheers, David. Thanks again for great videos.
@@ronnyskaar3737 Cheers Ronny, it is a fun series to work on 🍻
Another good one Dave ,have you ever used the missile as a 'Randall' ?
Cheers Scott, no but it can be hooked up and used as a randall. I have been thinking about doing it for some time now!
@@DavidHeathHomebrew I'd like to see that ,but realise its a limited audience ...maybe part of another video ? Think I'll try hops in keg next, always in search of new hopiness ! lol
Hops in the keg are a popular option, I recommend it 🍻🍻🍻
There would not be much to see randall wise, just taste.
Very useful as usual thank you and please keep them coming. I'm still experimenting with my own recipe to create that Sweetheart Stout. but having difficulties recreating the "sweet" taste using Lactose and Maltodextrin but having watched this I think I've been going about it the wrong way as I perhaps should be reducing the hops to increase the sweetness? cheers :)
Hi Paul, more coming :)
Balance can be controlled by yeast, mash temp, additions inc hops on top of items like lactose. Such recipes take a while to develop.
Yes I'll get there one day. Cheers :)
Its practise. Learning by doing works. I have a series of styles covered with recipe writing hints and tips too.
Yes thanks I've watched everything you've done (sometimes several times) and I can't believe just how much there is to learn about making a "simple" thing like beer haha. Give a man a beer and he can waste an hour. Teach a man to brew and he can waste a lifetime lol :)
