CRAZY Yeast Experiment | Smash ALE

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Correction: The correct ABVs for these beers based on our numbers is - WLP001: 6.43% WLP066: 6.17% WLP518: 6.04% WLP644: 5.91% In the White Labs video, you may notice they got different ABVs than us, that's because they're using professional lab equipment.

[@Cerevisi]

What were the ferm temps? That has a huge impact on ester production, especially running the kveik strains hotter than normal. Just curious, because I would have run the WLP001 at 62-66F and the WLP518 @ 86-90F. The yeast variety chosen was great though, I love these kind of videos! NVM, just read the article and all were fermented at "room temp", my statement still stands on my preferred temps... 001 cooler and 518 hotter.

[@ClawhammerSupply]

We didn't have room to temp control them all so they were all done at 70ish. This did cause problems with acetaldehyde, as you'll see in an upcoming vid

[@WhiteLabsInc]

@@Cerevisi You're definitely correct. There are a lot of variables we can change for these types of trials which will drastically change the results. Check out these info sheets (scroll down to the second page) to see the kinetics of split batches with different strains. Look at the high and low-temp kolsch to see how it changed the fermentation timeline. www.whitelabsbrewingco.com/white-labs-beer-portfolio

[@SyBernot]

Yeah that 518 is a beast but you have to abuse it and pitch/run it at 85-90F or it will stop short.

[@WhiteLabsInc]

We had a great time with this one and can't wait to see future Clawhammer and White Labs collaboration!

[@aaronsams350]

Looking forward to more!

[@briandugan4054]

Only Yeast i use, never gives me any issues. This was a great Video

[@austinclark4036]

Jo did our tour at White Labs. She's awesome!!

[@gamingwithgeremy8141]

So the London fog gives fruity notes and can be used with ipas or pales an also u said alot of styles so does the packaging actually tell u what aroma or whatever that this yeast will give so say if I go shoping for WL yeast will each one have an explanatory info on what taste that it will give

[@SyBernot]

Once this virus garbage is past I seriously want to do a proper tour of WL. I've been there a half dozen times for tastings but I seriously want to stick my head behind the curtains so I can properly up my yeast game.

[@lostsignalspodcast]

Thank you for adding the squeak noise. My dogs really enjoyed it. Again. Thank. You.

[@davev4374]

The most educational flight I ever had was from White Labs in SD. As a home brewer it was the easiest way to figure out what yeast I liked.

[@WhiteLabsInc]

Thanks for visiting! If you're ever back in San Diego or Asheville, NC make sure to stop by again!

[@aaronsams350]

Great collaboration!! As a goofy, home brewing, science educator, this scratched all my itches. I would love to see more of this type of content.

[@Viejitz87]

every video has a highest production quality than the video before. i love it

[@jamescarragher8879]

Sterling job yet again guys, Jo certainly gives a bit of cred to the white coat brigade, you could see the wheels in motion in her brain when Emmet was squeezing the last drop of wort out!

[@kylegoody2027]

About to do the Master brewers course at UC Davis, hoping to switch careers. Your videos are awesome, thanks you guys!

[@blitzkrieg6093]

I love white labs yeast. I started brewing because of yalls chanel and learned about white labs from you guys also. Keep up the good work.

[@DontStopBrent]

I had no idea different yeast would vary this much. Great video. Thx for the schooling! Let’s see more please.

[@benjaminhurmx]

I’m not good at words when I taste. It taste like beer. 🤣🤣🤣You guys are hilarious!!! Great calab funny and educational at the same time.

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

great video!

[@RyanLendt]

just began my homebrewing life adventure a couple months ago. was just wondering about this. thank you for posting this video!

[@MRW3455]

A rare dose of sanity in the Clawhammer world??????. Great fun keep it up :)

[@kosukekoichi8666]

Bout time the brew industry noticed this channel.

[@WhiteLabsInc]

Oh, White Labs has noticed Clawhammer for a long time (I mean we're local to each other after all), but it's intimidating matching Emmets' larger-than-life personality and their high-quality video production.

[@drago20013]

Great collaboration, nice to see hops from Poland abroad. Good job as always.

[@NDR801]

Best home brew channel on KZbin. Keep it up! Cheers

[@mattinodiluglio9680]

This is a kind of video we need, thank you!

[@WhiteLabsInc]

Glad other yeast nerds feel the same way!

[@markzunk9925]

Awesome video!! I’ve been then years ago- had a similar flight. You won’t believe the difference the yeast makes! Also believe they use their yeast in their pizzas and cheese!! Great work, probably my favorite video!

[@piazzonim]

Beer, Emmet and Science - all in one video. Awesome

[@TheBruSho]

This was a really great experiment! Jo killed it with the knowledge!

[@_-DS-_]

For some reason, the squeaks overdubbed onto the squeeze had me in stitches.

[@luukcool1]

This is awesome! Great vid :)

[@jimemery6898]

I like your show a lot I have watched every episode 10 times over keep up the good work

Wow , that was really informative! Really enjoyed this

[@kurtwolter3984]

Great vid as always. Love the collaboration.

[@kamuirsx]

Awesome collab! I've been to their spot in Asheville and it was pretty nice. I wish they had more than 2 of their beers on draft at that time but the atmosphere was awesome.

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Hmmm, they typically have only their beers in tap. Maybe there was a takeover or something

[@kamuirsx]

@@ClawhammerSupply I don't know. I know I had the Dunkleweizen with WLP300. We visited on August 17th, 2019 though. Pretty decent beer though from what my notes say.

[@WhiteLabsInc]

Thanks for visiting but bummer more beer wasn't on tap. Must have been a hiccup and we have a pretty extensive consistent tap list these days. Also ship mixed 4-packs throughout NC and CA if you're local. Cheers!

[@kinggimped]

That's so cool that White Labs reached out to you guys to do this! I agree with what she said about your channel - you guys are fun, engaging, and you have a sweet setup. I'm a big fan of White Labs' liquid yeasts, loved this video! Interesting experiment, too - I've always wanted to do this but never bothered to actually do it.

[@A2an]

Very nice test, I like it 👍

[@estergrant6713]

i love these tiny tulip glasses they have for the tasting, gotta get me a set

[@johnrockall2016]

Great video! Fun to see what just yeast can do! I just brewed a NEIPA with verdant yeast! Amazing results love it can’t wait to do it again! Came in at 6.5% as you would say crushable 🤣 Cheers guys 🍻

[@ryanprincipi6230]

This is really cool! I did notice that the first 3 beers had pretty low final gravities... did you by any chance add Amylo to help the yeast get right down to low finishing gravity and high ABV? In any case, I loved this video and I'd love to see more neat stuff from y'all!

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

Great video! I’ve always had great results with White Labs yeasts.

[@TheBrewQ]

After all the beers I’ve brewed, I’ve have yet to notice any tannin flavors from squeezing the bag. Since I’ve been brewing with the 240v system, I always rake the grains in the basket to get any additional moisture out since I don’t sparge the grains with the system. So far all beers have been fantastic. Just brewed a maibock and expect it to be fantastic as well. Cheers!

[@Magnumscoffeefreek]

The theory doesnt really make sense. How could a gentile squeeze release something that hot moving water wont. In my experience, tannins are released if temps and times are too high. It's like tea...

[@ForceFollower5]

Amazing video as always. Can't get enough of your content. That being said I need some fresh Ross action. Soon. Just that magical element that elevates a great video to something I'll watch over and over again.

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Hahaha. Ross and I brewed an IPL that will be ready in a month or so... We'll need to do another before then I reckon

[@diogolovato3074]

[@Duci1989]

Jo seems cool. Btw, white labs, export to the Netherlands please!

[@WhiteLabsInc]

Jo is rad! We have a facility in Copenhagen and distribute globally. Check with your local shop or online retailer if they're able to bring White Labs in. Cheers!

[@urbanchimp007]

Gotta get me one of them baller clawhammer systems

[@arnehess7732]

Really great collaboration, cheers from Austria. I was just wondering with all the different yeast strains, how long were the individual fermentation times per strain? What are the long time improvements or degradation you would expect from each strain used?

[@ClawhammerSupply]

We didn't log the fermentation time for the individual batches. We've actually shot a follow-up video on the long term results. Will publish soon.

[@scottgranby9028]

Boys! Lets get the Irish red going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@janchrzan6603]

Hello, at what temperature did you ferment WLP518 yeast-based beer? How long did the fermentation take? Question to White Labs regarding WLP518 Opshaug Kveik Ale yeast. I have yeast in my fridge that expired in December 2020. I plan to use them in April this year. Make a starter? Do you do underpitching? Many thanks for the answer! :) Have you used the Polish variety of ZULA hops?

[@ukapas]

I was hoping for a little bit more flavor descriptors and comparison in terms of acidity/astringency/sweetness. Which of these strains leave more malt character? These would help me decide on next yeast strain for me

[@WhiteLabsInc]

What type of beer are you looking to brew? In this trial, WLP001 California Ale Yeast made a beer that promoted the most malt character. The other three strains more so accentuated hop aroma along with interesting ester profiles from the strains. There are a lot of variables and we hope to dive down the rabbit hole in creating content to showcase these differences. Cheers!

[@ukapas]

@@WhiteLabsInc Thank you for these materials! I appreciate your work. I'm just a type of person who always looks for the details. Speaking of what I'm currently looking for is a yeast strain (no wild fermentation!) that will fit blackberry sour ale, kettle soured with Lactobacillus Plantarum, esters, if present, must fit the fruit character. I'd like to have something with decent flocculation (some of my beers have yeasty character), some residual sugars would be nice too but not a must.

[@elvioruggieri743]

A question...the mash recirculation is sprayed on the surface of the wort, does it not oxidation problem?

[@toptipsandphoto2170]

Nice video

[@lakeside477]

Awesome video but what about any tannins with your pressing the grains?

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Didn't notice any! But also the test suite they ran didn't actually look for that.

[@beechmanor]

Where did @emmet.lahey get that rad Pretty Pretty Pretty Good trucker hat. I need one!

[@z4lechpro]

Thumb up and watch :D

[@bensigl3766]

Please tell me where you got Zula hops!!!

[@cheetor5923]

White labs has great yeast, But DAMM it's expensive if you live outside the USA, The yeast often can cost more than the grain bill.

[@lucaparolin5623]

Brewers make worth...Yeasts make beer!

[@quentinos59400]

Only 2 weeks from brew to glass?

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Probably 2 and a half. We quick carbed in kegs.

[@jra4127]

Can some one please make the Mt Rushmore of science t-shirt? I want one!

[@MsCoroner78]

WOW! Where can I buy Zula hops?

[@ClawhammerSupply]

We got them at our local homebrew store. But FYI: They were good but not great to begin with. And they faded rather quickly. We'll have a follow-up video soon. Zappa hops are much more interesting and they can be purchased online.

[@MsCoroner78]

@@ClawhammerSupply I think it was not real Zula hops. Because real Zula hops you can buy from only this farm in Poland (polishhops.com) I recommend trying. You'll be amazed.

We used a 20 gallon kettle to brew

[@avocet89]

Cool experiment, but did you extract any tannins? 😂 🍻

[@ClawhammerSupply]

Not that we could tell. We didn't have analytical data on that particular item. But it didn't taste like squeezing the grains had any impact.

[@Zippo_1234]

I honestly hate this kind of editing. The graphics effect and over use of lame jokes feels like you think your audience has the attention span of a 6 year old. Just because other "successful" youtube channels do it (like bon apetit or whatever) doesn't mean it is a good way to edit our video.
