Home Brew review: Brewers Best German Oktoberfest & Great Lakes Christmas Ale clone

[TheFrodo2011]

Great video! Keep posting.

You certainly looked like you enjoyed the last drink. The alchol kicked in BURP. Brewing is so simple, cheap, enjoyable at the end. It's all experimental and fun. Yeast, water, malt, sugar, hops and your own flavouring............... it's better than commercial beer mate. Keep on YOUTUBING.

@darkseers Thanks very much for the nice comment. Your christmas stout sounds very good!

[DancingSpiderman]

It is something you should put in your cereal bowl in place of milk for your Fruit Loops. I'D do it

[Nick421ish]

I hate it when people just drink it instead of letting it sit on the tongue like how it should be properly appreciated.

[TheTater1984]

seeing the eagles hat where are you from? we might use the same brew supply.

send me a message.

[JaeTizzle]

@TheTater1984 thanks for comments, I am from eastern Ohio, I get my stuff from Blackswampbootleggers store here in BG they have an online site you can order supplies. They actually re-sell stuff from midwest supplies out of Kent, Ohio. Its good, reasonably cheap. What kinds of stuff do you brew?

[bryguy7769]

do you have a lme/dme version of this is this a partial mash and what yeast did you use

[JaeTizzle]

@bryguy7769 thanks for the comment, you can use this calculation to use either LME or DME 1 lb grain = .75 lb LME = .6 lb DME. This isn't really a partial mash, its just extract + steeping, its less expensive and less of a time commitment. I can't remember the yeast off the top of my head but I usually use dry windsor brewing yeast.

[bryguy7769]

@JaeTizzle Ok great thanks for the quick reply so the first 6 ingredients are all grain to steep ?? then the light malt extract is lme or dme also what do you mean by lager malt what type did you use I moved from Toledo Ohio to Philly and you have to buy cases only and its about 8-15 dollars more per case then Ohio so I have started to brew my own your recipe will be my 4th batch its a great hobby

[JaeTizzle]

@bryguy7769 That pretty cool. I live in BG right now. Yeah the first 6 are grains, I think you could cut those in half realistically. Considering I did a 3 gal wort, it was a little much. This was a LME, but i have had better luck with DME, plus its cheaper. I think the key with this beer was the dry hopping, because it is really hop intensive for an extract. The ridiculous amount of whole grain, was intended to give some complexity to the body, but it didn't work how I envisioned.

[JaeTizzle]

@bryguy7769 @bryguy7769 this is the lager malt i used, just a simple 2L. I am switching to partial mash now. I have a brown ale in secondary right now, which I might upload. Good luck with the recipe, I am excited to see how it turned out for you.
