Hefeweizen Brew Session (Part 4 of 4)

For details go to http://www.bodensatz.com/. I decided to brew a Hefeweizen for the first beer of 2009, because I'm getting low on beer after a long winter of no brewing, and Hefeweizen can be ready to serve in as little as 7 days.

@Zagroseckt It's some type of counterflow chiller

@inderida2000 Your problem sounds like you've either not crushed it well enough, used enough malt or used too much water.

An alternative fix to the first problem is to just extract your wort, and then run your secondary water through the malt once more, grabbing any sugar rests.

Second and third is proportional problems.

hey nice vid. i just got done with my first belgian wit and got a low gravity about 1.038. i think it is from not mashing in after i had the grains crushed because i live up here in ND and we just had a winter storm that day:(. any thoughts of this being the problem?

Very nice set-up and thanks for the explanatory videos. I was skipping forward through them, so it is possible you mentioned this, but what about wort aeration?

[steeljan]

Very nice series. Great set-up you have there. You just taught me a LOT. Thank you very much.

[Zagroseckt]

nevermind isee what youve done there.

teach me to watch the whole video first :p

umm the inside of your chiller should never touch your wert.

your suposed to run cold watter through it and submerge the whole thing into the hot wert.
