How to Brew Hazy IPA at Home: Malted or Flaked Oats? | Anvil Foundry | EP25

[@TheBruSho]

Dedicated malt cart is pretty genius for easy clean up and storage. Nice vid man!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks man!

[@kiliang96]

@@HopsANDgnarly I think the best thing is that you can take it outside, I wish I could have a proper space to mill outside, I can't leave mine outside as my dogs will eventually destroy the handle or knock it down and carry it to another place, so something I can bring inside once I'm done without disassembling everything is an amazing idea I'll have to study how to implement it at home

[@dannyarcher6163]

It's always nice to have the recipe in the description to refer to...

[@HopsANDgnarly]

It’s a multi video series working up to a solid recipe! It’d be a shame to share a half finished recipe and send people in the wrong direction. The final video has a recipe linked in the description 🤘🏼🍻

[@matthewdobrichillustration9014]

Thanks for making this video, I just ordered the ingredients for my first attempt at a hazy. Your content is fantastic! It won't be long until your channel explodes.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

🙏🏼 thanks for the support!

[@wyattalexander4041]

You have such a great channel withthe video editing and the style And this is such a great experiment very insightful thank you!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks for watching! Cheers 🍻

[@joshuazylstra9464]

been a sub to this channel since close to day one.. as a home brewer i love this new focus on single beer styles! also your filming is on point.. keep it up ✌️ ❤️ 🍻

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks man! I appreciate the support 🍻

[@zephiros1010]

The production quality on these vids are MAD! can’t wait to figure out the best Hazy ipa recipe! Keep up the amazing work

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks you! 🙏🏼 I appreciate the support!

[@matthewkaiser310]

Nice video Braj! Love the setup! I appreciate videos such as this one comparing different variables. There's thousands of combinations for beers, so I love to hear what others think about different grains, hops, and yeasts.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks man! It’s been super fun to make so I’m stoked you like it 🙏🏼🍻

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

I think we have the same taste in Epidemic Sound tracks haha. Great video! I really like the way you have your brew stuff organized!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

It's funny once you start using it you notice them all over KZbin. Thanks man! 🙏🏼🍻

[@patrickbarnes140]

Great video your are the first person I've seen so this head to head. Personally I've switched to malted oats because of Janish's stuff about malted grains being better for oxidative stability.

[@stanleyjoseph4941]

Awesome fermentation setup. Curious are the butterfly values offered by Anvil? Could you share size of butterfly valve and where you purchased valve and blow off cane

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks! Nope they aren’t offered by Anvil at this time. I had a 1.5inch tri clamp port welded to the lid but you could also use a weldless bulkhead if you find one that fits the existing hole or perhaps widen it. The butterfly valves are from Amazon (1.5 inch tc) and the blow off arm is from NorCal Solutions. Cheers!

[@StephenHartSoftwareDeveloper]

Good vid. Wish I could taste your beer!

[@jasonjones9210]

Love your channel and look forward to watching it each time. Anyway you could put together a music list? I’d love to just sit any listen to the beats that you put with your channel. Great work man

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks man! For sure - great idea! www.epidemicsound.com/playlist/p1lukp3h0y35maxizremzgnso2ukw43z

[@MrYou105]

Love the this vs that grain to glass videos.

[@doertedev]

Have you made any video about your can labeling routine? Thanks in advance

[@HopsANDgnarly]

No but that’s a good idea

[@dlsOHyes]

i love your "theme song" you play at the end. Windy city streets.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

🙌🏼 super rad song!

[@13fjrm]

Hi! At what time did you do the dry hopping?

[@BrewCabin]

We have the same brain! I clean my mill cart the extract same way lol.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Dude if I could spin that thing around my finger like a cowboy I definitely would 😂🤠

[@Jango1989]

Great as always. Seems weird that mills don't come with a dust cloak as standard. Seems like such an obvious thing one would want. Great modification, didn't realise it was a mood until you pointed it out.

[@palermtown]

Awesome video man!

[@PortlyGentleman]

Nothing fun about hand cranking a mill ! Awesome video 🍻

[@HopsANDgnarly]

😂🍻

[@BrewBrosUK]

Awesome video, thank you 👌

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks guys 🍻

[@mscappa]

Great vid as always! Curious why you chose flagship for a NEIPA? Imperial is awesome, but why not go with the a38 or a04?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

I wanted to go with a house strain to start because they can do pretty much anything. And you’re right on the money - I can’t wait to see the impact of some of their more juicy strains! Stay tuned!

[@indiekiduk]

A friend studied brewing at uni and told me oats make a beer thin and oily with bad head so I’ve stopped using oats and now my beer is much better. It also means I don’t even need wheat anymore to correct the issues.

[@NunoAlves0000]

Awesome video, I’m really digging this new hazy series, but I still can’t figure out why the kettle additions are in grams and the whirlpool ones in ounces lol

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Measurements are super screwed up here lol. It doesn’t even occur to me that something is metric or imperial unless I consciously think about it. I think because they’re sold by the pound/ounce I use that when convenient. Saying 28 grams just feels wrong so I use ounces there

[@JustinHoMi]

So, was the body and flavor the same between the two, other than the chewiness?

[@blakefaulds]

Another wicked video man! Is your white wheat malted or flaked?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks! It’s malted white wheat

[@blakefaulds]

further to that, how do you keep the loose dry hops out of your keg when transferring from fermenter?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

@@blakefaulds these fermenters have a rotating racking arm. So once you cold crash you can just keep that tube above the trub and everything is left in the fermenter

[@trentegay]

Hey, could you do a short video of your mash process with the Foundry system? I am on my third batch and my measured mash efficiency is trash (51%). Water/grain ratio? Mash duration? Does your strike water differ from their directions? Any insight into increasing efficiency?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

This could be a good topic! What kind of water are you brewing with? And do you mash out?

[@trentegay]

@@HopsANDgnarly I do. I bewed a NEIPA for my last batch. Batch size: 4.75 gallons (fermenting in corny to reduce O2), 14.75 lbs grain ( I threw in 0.25 lbs of rice hauls), 1.75 qt/lb for grain/water ratio, sparged with 1.1 gallons. Ca 131, Mg 13, Na 17, SO 97, Ch 196, NaHCO: 105. Measured pH: 5.3 I mashed in at 159. Held at 151 for an hour and raised to 165. Lifted the grain tub to the bracket and sparged. I'm I missing anything?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Seems dead on to me! Could it be grain crush? Do you have the ability to crush a little finer and see the impact?

[@trentegay]

@@HopsANDgnarly Not really. I ran the grains through my local store's mill a few additional times but I couldn't tell a difference. I guess that's my next expenditure.

[@alexrocks135]

Do you adjust your temp on the foundry? I’ve noticed every time I set a mash temp it isn’t actually correct because it’s reading the temp from the bottom, not the top. I usually use a pump until it’s at the temp I want it. It’ll say it’s 160 F but my inkbird thermometer says the top is @ 154 F

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Interesting! No I haven’t but I’ll check it out next time I use it 🍻

[@erickm2918]

Holy product placement, batman!

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Lol this isn’t the movies. I’m a dude in a garage making beer

[@familybjornestrand4548]

I'm guessing the white wheat is modified malted wheat. I hate to add another variable, but have you considered using unmalted wheat?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Yep malted wheat. I haven’t thought to try unmalted

[@londonblue007]

Where did you get your can labels?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

They came directly from Oktober Design. It was a super easy process to get them the art and then they arrived already on the cans. Definitely recommend it

[@londonblue007]

@@HopsANDgnarly That's a new offering. But, $50/box upper on the base cost & a 3 box minimum is quite the increase. I think I'll stick to my LHBS supplied can brites and my trusty colored Sharpies. Thanks for the info though!! - Love the Channel, too.

[@quinnpink7069]

How much of that yeast packet do you pitch for a small batch?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

This one I used the whole dang thing

[@JonFlyTV]

Another great video. Do you ever wonder about HOP utilization with the spider? I notice the wort is not moving much inside the spider. During a boil my wort inside the spider has very little movement. Your vids make me thirsty.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thanks Jon! I do wonder about that but I’m too nervous to throw them right in since I’ve been using a plate chiller. They’re a nightmare to take apart so I want to avoid gunking it up. With a counter flow or other chiller I’d be more bold

[@JonFlyTV]

@@HopsANDgnarly Ah, yes that makes sense. I use a Jaded Brewing Scylla chiller for my Anvil, have not tried a plate chiller before. Happy brewing

[@ScullyBrewing]

To add to this, you put the hop spider in the middle of the whirlpool so the wort is flowing around the hops and not through them. Would it make more sense to have the hop spider on the side, so the wort goes through it and therefore gets more contact time with the hops?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

@@ScullyBrewing I usually do that with my boil additions but I feel like that’d block the whirlpool flow. Do you think that even matters?

[@tubelev]

The spray bottle contains regular starsan, right?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Yep just regular mix of starsan

[@thebird36]

i like white wheat and malted oats for my neipa

[@HopsANDgnarly]

What base grain do you use? I’m gonna throw some Vienna in the next one

[@thebird36]

@@HopsANDgnarly vienna sounds different, although interesting. I prefer pils, white wheat, sometimes flaked oats, malted oats, and carafoam. Carafoam isn't really needed, I just like to add it in for little extra head retention

[@Vykk_Draygo]

I also enjoy manually cranking my grain mill. Just like a coffee grinder. It's an enjoyable experience. Sit back, relax for a few minutes, just mindlessly rotating a crank.

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Exactly!
