Do you ever use leftover ingredients to brew beer? Or are you a strict recipe person?

[@matthewharcus8437]

Always use left overs love making different beers just bottled 3.7 percent dry hopped American light lager but with ultra kviek

[@TheBruSho]

@@matthewharcus8437 nice that sounds good!

Awesome video Trent that’s a good looking beer! I really enjoyed the music as well 🍻

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks buddy! 🍻

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Great video, it really is awesome to try and not worry about what goes on during brew day. Nice fast fermentation! Cheers!

Thanks! I'm all about easy brew days and fast fermentations, anything to get beer in my belly the easiest way possible ha!

Hey great video, I also have been using leftovers to brew from time to time and some beers came out just perfect 👌🏼

It’s a good feeling to not have to buy anything!

[@fkatarot6755]

Just made a irish stout from a kit and omg it is so good. it takes about 3 beers to get used to the taste but it grows on ya!

[@TheBruSho]

Hahah that will happen!

[@garethvenables9607]

Great video on making an irish stout, I've got one in the fermenter at the moment just waiting to be bottled. The recipe I used had flaked barley in it which I think is used to give it that fuller mouth feel. I love cascade hops in dark beers, I think it goes great and gives them a nice little citrus twist so that was a great addition. Keep up the good work.

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks! And yeah I believe flaked barley is more traditional in the style but just going with what I had. And agree the cascade was a nice touch!

[@a-user2300]

I also want to make an irish stout and also like to bottle it. What should he carbonation level in irish stout(Guiness Stout), and how much sugar I should put per each bottle to get this Guiness Stout carbonation level. To have real feel and taste of Guiness stout.

[@OscarOSullivan]

Porterhouse brewery uses flaked barley in its stouts. And to be an Irish stout English hops must be used maybe exceptions for German,Czech hops and Galena and Nugget.

[@mzoli1222]

Hello Trent! Do you have a video about yeast saving and multiplication? Basically what you mentioned in this video. Thanks!

[@gamingandgardening]

Would love to see a video going into more detail on how you reuse yeast

[@suzannemalin7397]

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day in advance. You seem to have beer brewing “down pat”. I’m sure that you are always learning but it’s obvious that with a wee bit of practice and confidence the process becomes more and more enjoyable.

[@TheBruSho]

Great puns lol! Thanks for watching!

[@JasoNovX]

Love the bees. If you are looking to do a vid on your "Force/Burst Carbonation" technique, I'd love to see it. I'm still a 'priming sugar' brewer but am interested in how you control carbonation using your methodology.

[@TheBruSho]

Awesome thanks I will be sure to cover it at some point in more detail! I also have a Bottling vs Kegging video if you haven’t seen it that talks about how I keg my beer!

[@Catholicbible_study]

Do you have a video on how to save and reuse yeast?

[@BrewBrosUK]

Niiiiiiiice 👌 There’s an Irish stout vid coming from us in couple of days too. Ireland v England rugby this weekend too......I trust you’ll be watching (if you’re not still crying about the Packers 😂)

[@TheBruSho]

Ouch too soon hahah jk! Thanks for watching

[@docholiday2538]

Cool dark place or warm dark place? I'm doing my first batch in a 1 gallon brewer and I'm using agave and a mead yeast

[@wolfguy423]

my fave beer to brew is an irish red

[@patrickglaser1560]

Aye laddie... nothing more irish than cutting corners

[@williamcrane9889]

This video smells like dank!

[@webermartin25]

Great video! It is in my brew to-do-list start saving and harvest yeast from batches! Anyone knows if it is possible harvest yeast from a beer carbonated with primming in a bottle like making a scoby from another kombucha?

[@TheBruSho]

Yeah totally. You can save the dregs or yeast at the bottom of the bottle and build it up with a starter. You can even do that with your favorite brewery’s bottle conditioned beer.

[@webermartin25]

@@TheBruSho amazing thanks!

[@marioamayaflamenco]

No added sugar?

[@Frank-the-Tank-13]

I love Guinness. I’m afraid to try to make it without having nitro. But. I wanna make it as a white stout and make it green. I did a kolsch for a trial green run.

[@TheBruSho]

That's a really good idea! And it still tastes really great without Nitro, it just doesn't have the same mouthfeel.

[@Frank-the-Tank-13]

@@TheBruSho but it’s all about that mouthfeel 😆

[@OscarOSullivan]

Try and cask it then very creamy head and mouthfeel that is why nitro was picked for kegged Guinness in the 1950’s from 1959 to 1973 in phasing out cask Guinness.

[@mathewgodfray6547]

Hi there, can you make this without kegging? And how would you do? Just bottle with sugar? Would it make much difference in quality doing it this way? Thanks in advance matt ☺️

[@TheBruSho]

Yeah it’s called bottle conditioning. Add a bit of sugar after fermentation and put into bottles. I have a video on bottling vs kegging, check it out!

[@mathewgodfray6547]

@@TheBruSho cheers buddy, say 1/4 tsp per bottle? How much weight of grain would I need for a 1gl batch. I couldn't seem to find any weights for the grains

[@TheBruSho]

@@mathewgodfray6547 you should refer to a conditioning calculator. You have to be pretty precise on sugar you add so you don’t get explosive bottles. And as for grain weight, depends on OG and efficiency. I would try using a free brewing software and playing around until you find the right weight amount for 1 gal

[@Unsub-Me-Now]

I over build my starters and save a half pint to make new starters. I love relaxing brew days, however, wanting to record for KZbin kinda ruins the relaxation.

[@TheBruSho]

Haha yeah I feel you but it’s getting easier to manage. A brew day without cameras would be a breeze ha!

[@matthewharcus8437]

I save yeast the same save the whole slurry or whatever I want to jar

[@thehoppyhour6297]

solid shoutout to witheredales!

[@TheBruSho]

Yeah that was dope that he made something based on a vid, had to shout him out!

[@marioamayaflamenco]

Built the yeast up with a starter. What exactly does that mean? What starter? Sugar???

[@TheBruSho]

A yeast starter is like a mini beer to help increase yeast vitality or viability. 100g dry malt extract/1L of water is a good ratio. Not always needed but it helps for healthy fermentation

[@marioamayaflamenco]

@@TheBruSho Thanks! I'm still getting used to people not saying how much water they use, assuming everyone knows 5 gallons. I'm getting ready to make my 2nd batch of ale from real ingredients. The first was from canned wort.

[@rachelmalin8851]

This looks so good! 😍🍀 Love Irish bomb shots!

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks! And me too! 🍻

[@OscarOSullivan]

Don’t call it an Irish bomb

[@manuellara3276]

Is normal on the Stout to have more foam? I already make 2 styles of stouts and seem when I open the bottles( natural carbonation) always have a lot of foam and start coming out from the bottle slowly… I only have this problem with the stout.. any suggestions?

[@TheBruSho]

Hm not sure that it would have more foam that normal but if you’re using flaked oats it could be aiding in the head retention. But not sure about the correlation to foam amounts when bottling.

[@OscarOSullivan]

@@TheBruSho Irish bomb shot/car bomb is deeply offensive to people in Ireland

[@dibbsonline]

Irish stout would be only pale, raw barley and roast barley. A dry Irish shout will replace the rolled barley with rice syrup and a touch less roast.

[@TheBruSho]

Yup I was just making due with what I have and it came out tasting very similar!

[@dibbsonline]

@@TheBruSho amen sometimes these are the best beers, i used framgarden kveik in my last one came out great.

[@TheBruSho]

@@dibbsonline that’s awesome!

[@OscarOSullivan]

You can use chocolate malts and crystal malts and maybe amber malts.

[@dougdietrich1496]

Why is the grainbill listed in % and not weight?

[@TheBruSho]

For efficiency differences and easy scaling, but I’m trying to include weights in some recipe descriptions

[@skelter1153]

Why would I "hit the like button", before I even see the damned vid?!

[@TheBruSho]

@@skelter1153 lol thanks

[@Trenasist]

Interesting that you reuse your yeast at the bottom of the fermenter. I’ve never done that. I’ve always assumed the yeast is dead at the bottom and will do nothing if added to another brew. Plus hard to get yeast quantities right if not sure of the yeast to liquid ratio

[@TheBruSho]

I do it when I can because its basically like making a giant yeast starter, especially good if the 2nd beer is going to be a big beer like 7+%. Never had any issues!

[@julienparra9425]

Say the whole name with your chest. Irish Car Bombs. Come out ye black and tans!!!!

[@LeonAllanDavis]

The head looks loose. At 7:33. You've got bubbles when it should be foam.

[@TheBruSho]

Takes a long time to shoot b-roll. Eventually the head will fall

[@pascalbredius2213]

Okay so you use % to show how much barley you use but how much is 100% is it 1 kg, 5kg? Quite hard to guess how much you Will need to brew this

[@TheBruSho]

You don’t have to guess you just need to use some free brewing software. I use percentages since everyone’s efficiency is different and that way you can scale the recipe to any size. But typically your looking at a 9lb total grain bill give or take

[@pascalbredius2213]

I've had many infections, that's why I am paranoid about reusing yeast...

[@fkatarot6755]

Probably used too much yeast in that brew.

Maybe, but I’d rather over than under pitch. But always a good idea to reference a yeast pitch calc
