Thanks for the video. If you're looking to experiment more, you could also get a spunding valve and attach it to the gas post of the keg you're filling, then send CO2 straight from your CO2 tank into the fermenter you're emptying. That's a great way to relieve pressure from the receiving keg while maintaining a closed system. Also, it might just be fun to try carbonating with a spunding valve anyway. I recently got one, and the first beer I tried ended up with the most luscious, mousse-like carbonation I've ever had (after 70+ batches). I was really pleased with the results, although timing when it's right to pressurize at the end of fermentation will take some further practice, as the yeast didn't quite finish/flocculate as it normally would because I pressurized too much too early, and it ended up slightly under-attentuated with some yeast haze.

I had some misc grains, hops and yeast and I threw a beer together and it almost the same grain bill you have minus the Caramunich and Chocolate but with the addition of Vienna for about 13% and Carafa 3 for about 1%. The crazy thing is, not knowing what an Altbier was at the time, I threw S04 English Ale Yeast at it. It was all I had and I was trying to use up ingredients I already had on hand. It's fermenting a way strong as we speak. We will see how it taste in a couple of weeks.

I just packaged my alt last week! My grist was fairly different: 80% Munich 7.5% Caramunich 7.5% Aromatic 5% Flaked Barley I bittered with Northern Brewer to about 34 IBU, and added the same amount at flameout. For my 2.5 gallon batch, that amounts to a half ounce each. Love how it's turned out. Spent 39 days in the fermenter, but ended up at 1.014, down from 1.054. I get some bready notes, mostly toast. A nice, sharp overall character that is accented with berry esters. Hop presence is minimal, with some delicate wood, mint, and tea notes. One of my most favorite beers I've brewed yet!

Why are you're using a Ball-lock dispenser to air out the keg when you could lock the pin on the top of the keg? Just curious! Also in Raleigh! Would love to brew with you. Prost!
@danielrowe21745 жыл бұрын
I understand that oxygen is a huge issue in beer which alcohol and air create vinager. I've done plenty of open transfers and never had an issue. Besides when you transfer a beer to a keg. You still have to burp the keg which will push out the oxygen because Co2 is heavier. I really think all of brewers become worried when they just need to relax and make great beer. It could be possible that close transfers does extended the shelf life. Theres only one way to tell is to do a side by side comparison of the same beer with one open transfer and one closed.
@TheHomebrewChallenge5 жыл бұрын
Yeah I agree I think for many styles this is probably overkill. I’ve made many good beers raking with an open transfer too. Just being cautious.

Also, shoot for 50-ish IBUs. Once this style has aged in the traditional manner, you’ll appreciate the remaining hop bitterness which is traditional. Think of this beer as a German pale ale and you’re on the right track. It should not taste overly malty at all.
@MetalGuru7855 жыл бұрын
Martin. I like the theory behind your closed transfer beer to keg, but have you ever noticed how much beer is left in a keg after it kicked? Well that’s the same amount of Starsan you’re adding to you beer. Yes I know it’s not harmful, but I would much rather let my kegs drain/semi dry then purge with CO2 through the beer line. Purge under 3psi,and you will get no CO2 air mixture. CO2 is heavier than air..

Rack from bucket with auto siphon into keg, whether with lid open/posts not attached/your method of gas ball lock/whatever method you want to use really 7. When done racking, repeat steps 2-4 at storage PSI to purge any possible remaining O2

One of my favorite styles. Actually, according to BJCP guidelines an Altbier should actually have an "assertive hop bitterness well balanced by a sturdy yet clean and crisp malt character." I've had some that are too sweet. Should be balanced between the two. Here's the guideline: www.bjcp.org/style/2015/7/7B/altbier/ Great video. Need to try your suggestion for transferring beer. Cheers!

You want to really recycle that CO2? Instead of hooking your StarSan keg up to your CO2 tank to push the liquid out... Run a tube from your fermenter where you would normally put an airlock to that StarSan keg at the beginning of fermentation. SS Brewtech makes a blow off tube adapter for that hole on top which works great for this.

That’s an interesting idea for sure. But how to get the oxygen out of the keg in the first place? I don’t want to mix CO2 with air in the keg.

If you're going to brew and drink and German Bier, then do a proper German "cheers". It is considered extremely rude in Germany not to make eye contact with the person whom you are toasting with. It is a sign you are hiding your real intentions.
