Babe wake up new David Heath homebrew video just dropped

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Enjoy :)

[@KevinMarks-c2w]

Hi David, a simply stunning beer. First taste after 2 weeks in the keg. Used 1kg blood orange purée and 4 day dry hop. This is my 4th all grain brew and first with added fruit and now encouraged to try more of this style. Thankyou 👍

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Awesome to hear Kevin, go for it 🍻🍻🍻

[@colmgeraghty2628]

Wow. What a coincidence. I recently went for a doctor’s visit and she asked me to consider a fruity hoppy wheat beer to get me into the summer mood!!! I’ll be brewing this so it’s ready for July!! Slainte David!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Haha, sounds like the perfect Doctor! I highly recommend it too!! Enjoy 🍻🍻🍻

[@curtpick628]

Wished I could drink wheat beer. The headaches win out, unfortunately. Looks and sounds great, David!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hey Curt, I am sorry to hear that. You could use the same recipe without the wheat, replace it with munich malt. It will not be the same but very good anyway 🍻🍻😎

[@gustag]

man, your recipes are gold! I've brewed about 10 of them and they always impress me. Will definetely try this one too, since I live in the state responsible for 70% of the global orange production (São Paulo / Brazil), so orange sourcing is no problem here =)

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thank you very much, great to hear, much work goes into these. Go with the best quality fruit you can find and this will be very good 🍻🍻 Enjoy 🍻🍻🍻

[@boblelle3944]

C'mon summertime! This one is definitely on the list

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great to hear Bob, enjoy 🍻🍻🍻

[@alanman5328]

Awesome video as always, this will be my next brew without question, sounds exactly what I need for the summer!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great to hear Alan, enjoy 🍻🍻🍻

[@A2an]

This is what I need for the summer heat, I will brew it and let you know how it is. What kind of Oranges juice do you recommend :) Thanks for all your work, I am grateful, beyond your belief ❤

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Yes, Ive been working on this for a while and the orange fruit totally hits the spot. I suggest puree, ive been buying a French brand called «Ponthier» but any good qaulity orange puree should work.

[@NerdFromDenmark]

Can't wait to try this! My current obsession is fruity and juicy IPA's, and all my favorite commercial beers here in Denmark almost all have juice added, even my Mangrove Jack's Juicy Session IPA kit had added fruit juice. In general i find it hard to find resources on adding just a bit of juice to homebrew, most results are either "use these hops to get that flavour" or "making a fruit beer", so i am very grateful for this! I am new around these parts, and would have never considered adding the juice in with the dry hops! I assume puree adds a more full flavor, but i think I'll try juice when experimenting to avoid pulp. One thing i had considered was "dry hopping" with citrus zest and a bit of lime juice. I brewed a batch of Doin The Most's zesty mead which uses zest of orange, lemon, and zest and juice of lime and was amazed at how much citrus character you get from almost only zest, especially considering the small amount needed.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great. Puree for sure adds more flavour and avoids the chemicals that can mess with your fermentation often contained in juice. I would suggest brewing this «as is» alot of tweaking has gone into getting it into this tried and tested state.

[@davidmorgan4284]

Since I love fruity flavored Wheat beer and have an X2, I should be making this! Looks delicious!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Cheers David, I really love this one 🍻🍻🍻

[@julienrgna2514]

Hi David, Nice video (as always) ... One quick question, where did you bought this metal mixer that you put on your motorized screwdriver machine (2 min 44 sec)? Thanks !

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thank you 🍻🍻😎 This is a Kegland product, I cover it here:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-YaHSFlrF5j6Msi=0JLnbMwiejWwjaeE

[@TheRubinio1980]

Hi David, thanks for sharing for another one of your great recipes. By now I have tried many of your recipes and must say they have all tasted very good. I had one more question about dry hopping. I would like to avoid hop creep and am considering lowering the temperature during dry hopping to 15 degrees Celsius. Do you think I should apply this for this recipe as well? For Neipa beer this always works out well for me. Cheers!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great to hear, I spend a lot of time working on the recipes 🍻🍻🍻. You can but ive never suffered with hop creep personally and use a variety of fermentation temps. The real trick is to avoid adding dry hops too early and keep contact time limited.

[@jonathang.5092]

Hi David. Thanks for yet another highly inspirational video. I know what I'm brewing this summer!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great to hear, much appreciated. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do 🍻🍻🍻

[@jonathang.5092]

Turns out Nectaron hops are hard to come by in this neck of the woods. Went with Mosaic instead as it seems a popular alternative.

[@paulrobertson9439]

Yet another one to try thank you :)

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Cheers Paul, enjoy 🍻🍻🍻

[@joseagonzalez2]

Thank you for providing this great content. I like to ask the final volumen of the batch once you added the orange puree, is it 5gl? I have access to fresh oranges, what is the best way to may your own?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hi Hose, great to hear, the recipe shared in the videos description is for 15L or 3.96 US LQD GALLONS. There is a link there to the recipe on Brewfather, which can be used for free to scale it to any other amount you would prefer 🍻🍻🍻 Enjoy

[@mpc7084]

1) When I enter this into Brewfather and edit it for my system, should I reduce the amount of water that I start with to adjust for the volume of puree that I'll add during the fermentation? If not, won't I end up with too much beer? 2) In BF, I entered the water profile you suggest - including the 5.2 ph. But BF calculated it as 5.8. My plan is to add enough lactic acid to bring the BF calc down to 5.2. Good plan or skip the lactic and trust BF Is water chemistry too big of a subject for a video?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hi, here are some answers:- 1) no need 2) yes, that is good. I do mention water chemistry in these kinds of videos just not in depth. I do have past water videos though.

[@veesto69]

Thats definity going on the brew list for summer!! Any suggestions on how to reduce the gluten some what? I have been using clarity ferm for some beers recently, just to try and reduce the gluten but ive not tried swapping grains yet. Just looking to reduce gluten, not eliminate

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great to hear. Yes you can use products like clarity ferm. They remove most of the gluten, just not all.

[@BassRTA84]

Definitely doing this as my next brew. Will split the batch and do 10ltr exact to recipe, another 10ltr I'm going to use a mango puree 😬

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great, enjoy :)

[@MrSwevans]

hi, I'm pretty new to brewing and I have invested in a brewing system, I have seen a lot of brewers doing a sparge like you did, and I was wondering why do people do this if there is enough room in the system to just put all of the water into the mash, cheers.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hi, its for two reasons. Firstly the sparge washes through sugars increasing efficiency, secondly it improves flavour.

[@alekschanna]

What name do i need to look into the orange juice? That you used. Looks great im excited to brew one myself!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

I used a brand called “Ponthier” but any quality puree will work or you could make your own. Enjoy 🍻🍻🍻

[@buildcoast]

Hi David, great video recipe looks amazing. I'm not able to get this yeast at the moment, do you have any others that you think would work well for this beer?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thank you. There is nothing else quite like this yeast. If you cannot obtain it then I would go for a neutral type like Fermentis US-05. Enjoy 🍻🍻🍻

[@andrewtaylor6943]

Hi David, love your videos and no nonsense approach to explaining your craft. Question if I may, what impact is the OJ likely to have on FG.

[@andrewtaylor6943]

edit - sorry, just found in your recipe details.....

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Really its there for flavour, the impact elsewhere is very small overall.

[@mpc7084]

@@DavidHeathHomebrew HI David, Big fan. I copied your recipe and deleted the puree and the ABV went from 5.0 to 4.7. Is the math really that simple?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Yes it is. The fruit adds very little abv but lots of flavour when added late like this 🍻🍻😎

[@chrisnewman861]

G'day David, I'm curious how much orange puree you used. The description & the bf link indicate 1kg of fruit, shall I assume that's 1 Litre of puree? Many thanks for the recipe ideas, you bloody legend.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hey Chris, yes different companies sell by weight or volume. 1L or 1kg will work. Enjoy 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@chrisnewman861]

Having read the comments below I see you mention Ponthier & I see it does come in 1kg portions 👍. My challenge will be to source a similar product in Australia. Cheers.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

As long as you seek good qaulity then you will be fine 🍻🍻🍻 Enjoy 🍻🍻🍻

[@guusvanderveek4659]

David thanks for sharing the receipy, the only orange puree from ponthier I can find is the blood orange one is this the one you used? Thanks.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Yes, that is the one 🍻🍻🍻

[@nonolagratte]

Oh really, according to colour, the purée looks like normal orange, not blood orange that I would expect to look a way more red. From your previous experiment what other fruit would you recommend? Mango, mandarin anything else ? Thanks a lot

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Yes, the blood orange is still very orange. Fruit wise this one was designed around orange but I would imagine other citrus fruit would work just as well.

[@worems1]

Not able to get orange puree here, could make it, but I'm sure you could use actual oranges or some orange juice instead?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

You could try making your own puree from oranges but I suggest avoiding orange juice as its usually full of chemicals.

[@scottbeeman1149]

Any trouble with making an orange zest tincture with orange vodka insteas of the puree, which I cannot get at the moment?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Sure, it will be a little different though. You could make you own puree too 🍻🍻🍻

[@Gaz231289]

Really interesred to hear if youve had any issue using puree/concentrates with potassium sorbate and whether it has made any noticeable difference with inhibiting the yeast finishing out. Only tried once with a cherry puree and found it quite difficult to source anything without any added preservatives

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

I avoid those personally. I have been using a French brand «Ponthier»

[@Gaz231289]

Will have to give them a look, would love to try this recipe with pink grapefruit! Great video as always!

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

@Gaz231289 I think that would probably work, though this is very refreshing and juicy with orange.

[@Gaz231289]

I'll be sure to do both! Will make a great beer for the summer months! Thank you again for all your efforts and work for the homebrew community!
