The guy who taught so many the science of home brewing is back. I still watch all his videos just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. This is awesome.

Same. I’ve watched and rewatched the old “101”’videos several times from years ago. I always find something I missed or forgotten.

perfect video, not everybody takes the time to explain it this clearly for that amount of time. Most just say, measure it, add the yeast and wait. Love the "oldfashion teacher" vibe you got there. Toucht me everything I know in your old videos, now i just enjoy the videos, and confirm what i learned. Fun fact, i use alcotec turboyeast from the first time i started distilling. It never dissapointed me. keep filming, i'll keep watching

Just like everyone else on here, so glad to see you back George. I know many people like me worried about you and we are so relieved and happy to see you back again. I’ve followed your videos and constructed the PID controllers with totally successful batch after batch. I give to family and friends just like home cooking food. Everyone loves the products I produce following your lessons. I’m going to enjoy watching your new videos just like I enjoy and learn from your old videos. Welcome back George

George, little sparkie tip. Take a scape piece of wood a little longer than your hydrometer and cut a “V” grove down the middle, then lay your hydrometer in it and it won’t roll off the table. Between that and having two hydrometers you’ll never break one. Glad you’re back. Respect from the PNW

Geoge do you have a video on your cooler with ac unit recirculation build. I like the way it is compact and portable (kinda). I have an old premix soda fountain with a cooler that creates an ice block water bath for the cooling of the soda as it passes through on its way to the tap. Would bet it would work for keeping the column condenser cool enough but maybe to cool actually. Anyway I have been doing a lot of watching of your video's.

@georgeduncan22710 ай бұрын
I had it available/ It was a hard descision to make - many people have/use turbo so I defaulted to using it as a demonstration of the many options that all work. Aside from that, it is a personal choice. I know that some swear by turbo and others swear-off turbo.

@a39700109 ай бұрын
I have a thought George, and I want to share it with you and the fans. If you're making..for example..a whiskey mash like I am and want to get the ABV up a little higher because you ended up making some process adjustments that required splitting the batch into two 30L vessels. I decided to add 1G of water with 2Lbs of disolved/inverted sugar after the initial fermentation stopped to each vessel to make the 30L marks. So the question is: Is it better to ferment in steps as opposed to trying to do it all at once? Does it make for a better fermentation environment?

I’ve been having issues with infected mashes. I still distill them and they come out fine, but it would be great if I could get it to stop. I sterilize everything but it keeps happening with my grain fermentations.

Hi George welcome back? I have often heard you say a ferment product can be longe term stored because the alcohol is a good preservative. Does that remain true if you move it or change containers?
@georgeduncan2279 ай бұрын
Yes, if you are just careful about it. Make sure you clean and sterilize the new container just to be safe.

stupid or good question What would make the Ph drop to the high 3's in a sugar wash. I had it all set up right this time. Gravity 1.090 Ph 5.2 in a 5 gal wash. Pitched yeast at 100deg.(DADY) and used nutrients too. It had nice activity to start but then just stopped. Could it be the water is bad? Or contamination before I started. I used pbx and to finish gave it all a light spray of starsan. They have changed what they are putting in it. there is a lot of mineral sediment too. Let me know your idea's or thoughts on this. I'm thinking to go and buy some spring water from wegmans up here. thanx and hope to hear back

Hey George, Is it worth using amylase in every mash or should it only be reserved for something more starchy such as your corn mash?
@KennyWilson-ns9uf4 ай бұрын
If you get contaminated mash can you skim off the bad and still use the mash or throw it away ?

Can you strain the grain out of your mash before you pitch your yeast
@skyhookspirits10 ай бұрын
IMO, I would never recommend using any turbo yeast. Rushing the fermentation always brings out bad flavors. If you can't wait a week or two for a fermentation, this isn't a hobby for you.

Hi George, is there any benefit to stirring the sugar wash from time to time during fermentation?
@georgeduncan22710 ай бұрын
Totally a personal choice. Stirring doesn't hurt but does increase the chance to introduce a bug or two into your mash. Leaving it alone can add a day or so to the process. I just shake it whenever I walk by the fermenter. This seems to satisfy my curiosity and also gives me something to do (smile).
