EP3 Mashing Mechanics (temperature effects) - Brewing All Grain Primer Series

[mikescooling]

Great job!!! thanks for the info. I took 32 weeks of micro in college, and I just love this stuff!!!!

[DulcisGuitar]

Very well explained Bobby, thanks.

[njloetz]

Thanks for making this! It was really helpful. It'd be cool if you did one like this on strains of yest and fermentation temperatures. Thanks again!

[mj1983100]

im so gald to hear it rather than read it great vid i understand a lot more of what im doing in my all grain.

[umami727]

hey bobby, thanks for the info glad someone put it in an understandable way. thanks for breaking all the sugar lingo down for us. when can we expect ep 4?

[luthierzan]

Great video Bobby, John Palmer's explanation/analogy of the mash biology left me confused. This was very clear and straight forward. Thanks a ton!

[1997LT1Camaro]

Thanks for the vid Bobby. I am digging your way of speaking/presenting , and it works well with my mind. I have read the book by john palmer, and this section really put me to sleep. I have been out of the beer game for a while, with a couple of flop batches that had me discouraged. I am still interested in the hobby, which is why I kept my setup. I have on the Herms builds that POL did on hombrewtalk. I might try another batch this winter. Houston is hot!

[jborho]

Top notch video!!! I got more info in 20 minutes then I do from the BN.

[Crypticx666]

Thanks so much for the video! I really wanted to get an understanding of the science of the mash temperatures.

[sanscredo]

Excellent series. Looking forward to Episode 4.

[raedrik]

Your alpha and beta amylase models were amazing! I never quite understood how they worked and their differences until I saw this video. Keep up the great work!

[HokieHomeBrew]

Dude, sweet barrel in the background. I just found your channel and subbed. Any videos on barrel aging?

[ruthlsss]

Good video man! I don't care how long they are Keep the info flowing.

This is the shit you don't get on homebrew research.

Thanks

[Bush6800]

hey Bobby,

This is one of the most informative series that I have seen on youtube. Keep up the good work. Cant wait for the next one.

[jkoslow45]

Hey Bobby-

Great video series for someone like me who is a novice. I've got a little more equipment to get, but I'll be all-grain brewing in a month. The vids are extremely helpful.

[andrewt248]

I think Lagunitas mashes most of their brews up around 160˚F. This is based on recorded conversations with the brewmaster on the Brewing Network's Jamil Show (Can You Brew It) where they have a dialog with commercial brewers in an attempt to fabricate clone recipes.

[BobbyFromNJ]

@andrewt248

Thanks Andrew, I'm familiar with Can You Brew It but I haven't listened to many of them. I had read in passing about their IPA and the generally unusual high mash temp.

[andrewt248]

@BobbyFromNJ - Yeah, I don't necessarily care to clone commercial brews but, it's a great insight to the intellectual and physical process that the big boys use. Cheers, man! Dig your vids and helpful posts on HBT!

[crlova2]

Excellent video! I appreciate your time and effort for others benefit. I especially liked the visual aids and your explanation in a macro sized way for better understanding. Definitely worth the long wait but please don't make it so long until the next episode!

[AdamRSomers]

Bobby, cheers from South Jersey! I'm a fairly new brewer with a fast pace of learning.  Your videos are a great supplement to the reading and are really firming up my understanding. Great work and keep it coming!

[KtotheIzzel]

Nice job with the visual aids. You are very talented when it comes to teaching - it comes through in all of your videos. I look forward to the next installment!

[CTBeerguy]

Great video Bobby. I had always appreciated the nice mouthfeel to the Lagunitas IPA . Something I had not been able to recreate in my brews. Of course I was mashing in the low 150s (this helps me understand the relationships).

Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

[BobbyFromNJ]

@CTBeerguy

Just don't forget to crank the bitterness to keep it from tasting too sweet.

[nigerford]

Great vid. gonna post a link to friends at the irish craft brewery website. really good stuff.

[brewale4me]

Thanks for taking the time to make the video series, it will help alot of us.

[nppeders]

What's in the Barrel? Something funky I'm assuming.

[BobbyFromNJ]

@nppeders Yup, 60 gallons of Lambic which is ultimately going to be a Framboise. It's 2 months young right now though.

[nppeders]

Great video man! I think I'm a total beer geek, because this was not boring at all, and very easy to follow with the visuals!

I knew the result of what my mash's did a different temperatures, but know I now why!

Cheers! Nick

[robnews11]

This video is fantastic! Learned so much! Cheers man!

[DickyBenfield]

continued...

I'd really like to know what a final gravity is for something like a Hercules Double IPA or something along those lines...

Thanks again

[DickyBenfield]

Great Video. I've learned more in the last 20 minutes than I have in months worth of watching other videos. (Not that all of everyones videos need to provide this much of the how and why. But, I for one, especially appreciate videos like this. Thank you very much.

One question that I have been wondering. How can I determine what ideal final gravities are for a specific beer style. Are there charts that show typical final gravities for different commercially available beers or beer styles?

[BobbyFromNJ]

@DickyBenfield

Ideal FG is subjective, but the best place to start is the BJCP guidelines. Of course, each style has a pretty wide range of acceptable values. You'd also be surprised what the brewery would be willing to tell you if you email them. Worst case, you can let a commercial beer go flat and test it with a hydrometer, but that's alcohol abuse.

[DickyBenfield]

@BobbyFromNJ

That is an awesome resource... Thank you. I totally understand about the subjective nature and ranges vs hard values... But this is just what I needed. One of the ones I really want to understand better is the Hercules Double IPA by Great Divide. I have read that other peoples requests for details have been rejected, but I haven't tried yet. I have heard other breweries that gave all but step by step instructions away when asked. I have thought about testing a flat one... but... :)

[yaap10]

As usual total class thanks bobby for sharing ur knowledge with us cheers

[steeljan]

Totally excellent video.  I've read my brewing books over and over but you explain it so clearly and the visuals help a tun (pun intended, lol). Your brewing series so far is a total must-see. Nas zdroviya!!

[tomroeder]

Very good Bobby....As always you deliver excellent content. Contributing to the hobby, or for some of us, the sub culture in a positive manner! Keep it up!

[nicmert]

Nice effort! I didn't realize when I started home brewing just how complex it could become. It is great that a person can create beer with really very little effort, or if you wish, you can really expand on the hobby and take it to whatever level you like. 

[rbehrens]

Not at all boring! When is the next in the series coming out? Well done!

[WayneABotha]

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and putting in the time to create professional videos.

[immolateus]

Thank you for sharing the knowledge...very helpful

[jtp86]

wow great video, tons of info - thank you!

[bmeyer44]

very nicely done, very professional....love the info and the green screen!!!

[cvoskuil]

Great video! Keep them coming. I find the information very helpful in understanding brewing and how it will help me.

[Bigpete9000]

That was really good video !.. thanks for the great info.
