As a homebrewer, how much do you focus on water chemistry? And is there anything else you'd like to me explain in a future video that I may have missed?

[@koplandavid]

I only use chloride and gypsum and lactic

[@BrewCabin]

@@koplandavid Yea, that's all you need for most styles. I also keep Epsom and kosher salt in my brewery.

[@drew---]

Great video, I'd really like to see a more detailed video of you putting the ro reservoir system together.

[@BrewCabin]

I filmed everything. So I’m thinking of releasing it sometime soon.

[@timmyG]

It's a good video, but hardly any water chemistry videos talk about *when* to add the chemicals. To the strike water? To the mash? To the boil? When and why?

@@shrumby7231 after much research and based on my needs for brewing (about 1 brew per month), I went in a different direction as I only needed enough water to brew 5-6 gallon batch per month or so.

[@michaeljames3509]

The video is GREAT!! RO water is the way to go. The brewery is very nice. The experiments performed in homebrewing have no connection with ale and lager because the instructions for producing homebrew are based on producing distillers beer. Alpha, glucose, and a single temperature infusion are only needed for producing distillers beer. The steps that are needed for producing ale and lager are skipped in homebrewing because the steps require a lot more work and time, costlier ingredients, and more equipment, than it takes to make homebrew. Conversion, dextrinization and gelatinization steps are skipped in homebrewing and when the steps are skipped ale and lager cannot be produced. The only purpose of Alpha is to release, glucose, which is a building block of life, from starch, and the enzyme works quite efficiently at 98.6F. Glucose is responsible for primary fermentation and ABV. The single temperature brewing method, chemically and enzymatically, cannot produce ale and lager, due to the way that enzymes work and chemical precipitation, making strike and target temperature not so useful for producing ale. The high temperatures used in homebrewing denatures the low temperature activated enzymes required for making ale and lager, Beta, in particular. The brewing method produces extract that is chemically imbalanced, sugar imbalanced and unstable, which produces beer with short, shelf life. Homebrew is artificially carbonated with sugar or CO2 injection and drank, green, boiler to belly in four to eight weeks, because the beer, rapidly, deteriorates during fermentation and conditioning. When conversion occurs, secondary fermentation takes place. Beta is the converter (140F), the enzyme converts simple sugar, glucose, that Alpha releases from amylose during liquefaction, into complex sugars, maltose and maltotriose, which are the types of sugar needed for making ale and lager. Yeast works differently on maltose than it does on glucose and it takes place during secondary fermentation. Beer doesn't need to be artificially carbonated with sugar or CO2 injection, due to maltotriose. When conversion occurs, beer tends to overly dry and thin during fermentation and conditioning. To counteract the negative impact, two steps are used in brewing ale and lager that cause dextrinization and gelatinization to occur. Dextrinization and gelatinization are responsible for body and mouthfeel in beer. The steps are skipped in homebrewing because of the time and work involved. There's a type of hard, heat resistant, complex, starch in malt that makes up the tips of malt, called amylopectin. Contained in amylopectin are A and B limit dextrin, which are tasteless, nonfermenting, types of sugar responsible for body and mouthfeel in beer, along with a type of albuminus protein that doesn't form at high temperature. The temperatures in homebrewing are too, low to burst the heat resistant, starch, where it enters into the mash liquid, before Alpha denatures and the richest starch is thrown away with the spent mash, unused and paid for. Mash is boiled to take advantage of the starch and when the boiling mash is added back into the main mash, Alpha, liquefies amylopectin and dextrinization and gelatinization occurs. Pectin is responsible for gelatinization, it's cellular glue that holds beer together through the long conditioning cycle that ale and lager go through. To produce high octane distillers beer soak malt at 150F because at the temperature Alpha releases the highest volume of glucose, as possible, from starch within a hour. The more glucose the more alcohol. The temperature is used in grain distillation. Test for starch at 30 minutes using Iodine. No starch, move on, nothing more will occur. Marris Otter, Halcyon and Golden Promise are good malts for producing distiller beer. They're high quality, distillers malts. There's a certain malthouse that produces Marris Otter with10 percent protein content, that's the malt to use. However, the malt is over modified and that's OK as long as corn and rice aren't used. Diastatic power is low in the malt. Some six row, malt would need to be added when corn and rice are used. To produce ale and lager an entirely different brewing method and under modified, low protein, malt are used. Under modified, malt is richer in enzyme content than high modified, malt and low protein, malt contains more sugar. Modification and protein content are listed on the malt spec sheet that comes with each bag of malt, which a brewer uses for determining the quality of malt, before it is purchased. Weyermann floor malt and Gladfield's American Malt are under modified and good choices for making ale and lager. To view a malt spec sheet click on Gladfield's website and find American Malt, the spec sheet is on the page. Part way down on the spec sheet, under the EBC column, is Kolbach. Kolbach , S/T and SNR are used for determining level of malt modification. I use data from the EBC when purchasing malt. Malt, 40 Kolbach and lower is under modified. Malt should contain less than 10 percent protein. The higher the Kolbach number and protein content, the less suitable the malt is for producing ale and lager. It's not a bad idea to become familiar with the acronyms and numbers listed on a malt spec sheet. A malt spec sheet is more important than a recipe. Recipes, are a given, anyway. To take advantage of under modified, malt, at the least, a three temperature step mash should be used, which produces pseudo ale and lager. To take full advantage advantage of the rich malt, a triple decoction is used, which produces authentic ale and lager. To soak more expensive, under modified, malt at one temperature is a waste of money because less expensive, high modified, malt will make the same beer, glucose is glucose. To produce cleaner extract skim off hot break as it forms and continue to remove hot break until it drastically, reduces, when that happens, add hops, skim off second break and boil for an hour. Less hops are needed and hop utilization increases because the extract is cleaner. About hops. The percentage of Beta should be listed on a hop container. When the percentage of Beta is missing the quality of hops cannot be determined. The Alpha and Beta numbers should be within a decimal point of each other. The closer the numbers are, the finer and more balanced the hops are. To learn how ale and lager are produced start out with DeClercks books. Abstracts from the IOB are free, online and interesting to read. In the 19th century the IOB made malt, modern when they invented the malt spec sheet. Also, the IOB standardized the tests that brewers performed on malt and moved the testing procedures into the malthouse. Since, time is time, why spend time on producing low quality, distillers beer, when the time can be spent on producing ale and lager? That way you'd be honest when telling a person that the bottle or keg contains ale or lager. STAY SAFE. STAY THIRSTY. STAY BREWING.
