I've AG brewed EdWorts Haus Pale AND his Haus IPA. I like the IPA better, but both are nice.
Next time, look on Homebrewtalk and try out Nierra Sevada. That is my "house" recipe, and I'm always trying different hops out. Dead ringer for SNPA, and always a hit. Nice vid btw.
@jturie I looked it up. Sounds really good. It will be a while before I can get to that though. I have a lot of other stuff planned. Thanks for the tip!
Nice kitchen brew setup you have going. How is the that kettle doing with holding the heat during mashing? I went with a cooler setup and it only drops about 2 degrees F over 60 minutes.
Personally I'd add way more hops then that. Are you dry hopping in secondary?
@StumpyJoeJr Hey Joe. I wrapped a blanket around the kettle and I lost less than 1 degree during mashing. It was my first time using that kettle so time will tell if that result is repeatable. No I'm not going to do any dry hopping because I didn't want to mess with the recipe. This is my first All Grain so I figured "lets just make a tried and true recipe". Also I made the same recipe using extract and I want to do a side by side.
I like it!! I am going to brew my APA this weekend. You know, the one that TSA never got around to filming? Oh well. I hope you are enjoying all grain!!!
@weirdbeer APA: 9.42 lbs 2-Row Pale Malt .13 lbs Aromatic .26 lbs Cara Pils Dextrine .39 lbs Crystal 20L .39 lbs Wheat .39 lbs Munich .5 oz Centennial 7.5% @45 minutes .5 oz Simcoe 12% @ 30 minutes .5 oz Warrior 13.5% @15 minutes 1.0 oz Cascade 6% @ 5 minutes 1.0 oz Cascade 6% Dry Hopped Recipe figured for 5.65 gal into primary fermenter @ 1.052 for 85% eff. It does have a lot of ingredients, but it is fabulous!
@tomroeder Wow. That is a lot of ingredients. It will be a while before I try this out. I'll trade you a bottle of this beer for a bottle of your APA if you want to do an exchange.
Nice brew fo, I'm thinking of moving to all grain, your method looks cheap and simple, makes ag look like the way to go. Btw you forgot your face mask m8 :-).
Nice video man! I'm looking into getting into ALL GRAIN brewing right away. I notice you just use a pot for your mash tun, I made one out of a coleman cooler, I was wondering why you chose to use a boil pot rather than a cooler? I already spent all the dough and made the cooler mash tun so what's the advantage, if there is one, of using a cooler? Thanks man! Keep the videos coming!
@Crypticx666 Your cooler mash tun is better than what I'm doing with my pot. The extra insulation your cooler will provide will let you hold a temperature better than I can. I went this route because its just 1 less thing to clean. I wrapped a blanket around the pot and after 60 minutes of mashing I lost less than 1 degree. I don't think the extra insulation is necessary. My goal is to brew on the stove top. I did that here. Next time I'm going for BIAB & No-Chill. The less work the better IMO.
@weirdbeer Maybe I should just see if they sell it milled or not and that would really speed things along! I don't have the money right now to just buy a mill.
@threeque The first song in this video is me. The part at the end isn't. I was in a band when I was a kid. haha. We still have 2 songs in MP3 form. Thats one of them.
Looking good, one question, are you leaving the value open for the sparge? I have never seen that before unless you are fly sparging. Any plans for a dry hop? Great vid and cheers to good beer!
@MrSweetWort I did leave it open for the sparge. I didn't really think about it. Water goes in, wort comes out! I think everyone can get to nit-picky when it comes to brewing. So the wort was a little cloudy? It cleared up in the primary. No plans for a dry hop. I'm trying to do the extract and all grain versions the same for a good solid comparison. Both were done on the stove top.
@weirdbeer no intention to nit-pick, just wondered if you read something that I didn't or if there was a specific reason. Congrats on the proper all-grain brew! I am interested to hear the extract to all-grain comparison. Personally I haven't noticed as much difference as I thought I would between the two, especially if they both have some age on them. Love your vids and keep them coming!
Looks like you got it down. If you want to limit the sludge from the kettle to the fermenter whirlpool it for a minute and then let it settle for about 15 minutes before cracking the valve.
That's what the whole song sounds like. Might have to sit down and remix it in its entirety. Always thought it was a catchy tune.
@yartp ohhh. I didn't wait the 15 minutes. I started a whirlpool and then cracked the valve. The beer was pretty cloudy during fermentation but its since cleared itself. Its in secondary right now and looks clear as day.
Thanks for the compliment on the tune. Go ahead and play with it.
@ChadzBeerReviews Yup its 5 gallons. It was a couple of liters short but close enough for me. It was done fermenting in 1 week but looked pretty cloudy. I left it in there for 3 weeks and its clear as day now. I moved it out of the primary bucket into another one to clear it some more. But mostly because I don't know when I'll be able to bottle it so I had to put it somewhere.
how did the beer end up tasting did you make a video for the side by side tasting...i was wondering if you could make ag in a pot or needed a mashtun
