Stella Artois | How to brew

[@GTravs]

This channel deserves so much more attention, you guys do a great job

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks Gregory

[@SCROWMD]

Martin, thank you for all your videos.You have taught me lot about home brewing. CHEERS!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks!

[@ausflo]

That different aroma would come if you had bottled the beer into green casks and let it in contact with light for 1 week at least... I did it myself and its amazing how It works well

[@HomeBrewingTV]

Nice video. My Dad loves Stella. I think I’ll have to play with this recipe. 🍻

[@dimash244]

finally bottled mine yesterday(july 29), was lagering from may 30th, turned out very clear now we wait for carbonation

[@rfox2014]

How was this? Loking to brew one for my dad, he loves stella and peroni

[@Margarinetaylorgrease]

My first (very drinkable) brews were one hop, East Kent Goldings and the other was Fuggles. Both brewed with canned malt, both tasted very nice

[@pasolano612]

It was great!! I’m looking forward to try that recipe for my own

[@smithsmithsammal1806]

The water profile would be interesting as that's the bread and butter of a good beer

[@nathancullen2429]

Great video. Love a bit of wife beater!!

[@davidphilion1432]

We live we learn. One of my beers taste like soap so now I only ferment for two weeks. I like your videos so make more. 👍👍I’m going to make your easy pale ale next.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Good luck with the pale. That’s another one that only stayed on the keg for about a week. Enjoy!

[@lonewolf9390]

@@michaeljames3509 You spam every damn brewing video with this drivel. WTF? Seriously...WTF?

[@AnalogueInTheUK]

A well-crafted video for a very popular beer, here in the UK. Send the Imperial measurements back to Noah's Ark and I'll be your next subscriber, for sure.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Haha. More recent videos have both metric and imperial measurements.

sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

[@kingsleylincoln339]

@Lewis Kamryn Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@kingsleylincoln339]

@Lewis Kamryn It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account !

[@ianlaker9161]

Greetings from Blighty Martin (are you homesick?). So it's a SMASH beer then (Single Malt And Single Hop) Spoke too soon, you said it at the end! Brewed a few of those, mainly pale ales. I've never had an issue with using an Erlenmeyer flask straight from hob to icy water but I do funnel the DME into the water when cold before heating! Excellent channel which I watch regularly and eagerly await updates. Great work sir!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks for the kind words. These days I go with canned wort because I’m lazy and scared of exploding flasks :-)

[@scotteverett7834]

Late to the party but want to do this for my first BIAB / all grain brew. What vol of water did you start at and sparge with? Cheers

[@lennon890]

This differs from the recipe on my can. My can says that it also contains maize.

[@Eric-zb6nx]

Have a can of labatt stella it says water, malted barley, hops, and yeast.

[@emlortnoctonod8401]

Hey, I brewed a beer with pacific jade, which made my wort super acidic. So I adjusted with bicarbonate of sodium, but I exagerated, now it taste of sodium. What can I do to save that 5 gallons of beer? I need the suggestion of an expert. Please

[@MarretaRP0]

hello... what is the FG and the OG of the beer?

[@medic5150]

Is the distinct aroma you’re getting from actual Stella coming from light-strike? I find it can come off skunky

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

That’s a good point - maybe I should just leave my beer out in the sun for a while to match the Stella aroma :-)

[@colinsnyder3082]

Michael Johnson I agree!!! But don’t leave too long ... I believe the effect can happen rather quickly

[@AB-gz9yb]

Michael Johnson becks smells bang like skunk

[@matthewread8275]

I'm pretty sure you have hit the nail on the head here. I spoke to a commercial brewer who told me bottled stella smells like it does from light strike (a bit like cannabis). The cans don't have that aroma when I've had them.

[@olegivanov7236]

Cool Man

[@TheLantzey]

Great video, im kind of new to homebrewing and got questions about the yeast starter. Are u using only 1pkg of yeast and how many yeast starter litres are you using?

[@rexsteiner]

1 liter water, 1/2 cup dme, 1 package yeast

[@davidstelting3146]

Martin, what was the alpha acid on the saaz when you brewed this beer? Also I'm to understand that The malt is Belgian Pilsner ... from a friend who works at Budweiser. But I know Budweiser has also added other things to the beer now like corn and rice

[@Mr_Bean_Stalk]

Looks and sounds like he's related to James Dyson

[@Waymeytc]

Why you don't use Belgian Lager yeast? It's available by White Labs WLP815 Your recipe looks like more than a modern "German PIlsner"

[@MrUnknowDj]

On what temperature do you lager?

[@dannyarcher6163]

If all the ingredients are german / Czech .. what makes this a Belgian lager?

[@mattharris2018]

Good work SMaSHing (pun intended) the keg in a week. Poor management not leaving a glass to present in the video.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

SMaSHing! Yes poor management indeed, hadn’t realized so many people in the house were that thirsty.

[@CrazyPandaBrew]

What is the software you use ?

[@boblawton9303]

Great video but the weight of malt in your video and the amount in the description aren’t the same

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks, fixed the recipe in the description.

[@alecjordan326]

What about the Maise ?

[@brennanroy7842]

You don't sparge at all?

[@benny1161]

I do enjoy a refreshing pint of Stella in summer. I would like to make this. How close to Stella was the taste ?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Color and taste were close. Missed on aroma.

[@benny1161]

The Homebrew Challenge good effort sir

[@jakeychops]

Brewed in the UK unfortunately... with Maize. The aroma comes from the brewer being caught short and thinking no one is looking.

[@MrNed09]

When you tried the beer, did it make you start fighting and smash everything up? Lol.😆

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Lol

[@OlesonMD]

Belgian Bud.

[@TZerot0]

Ain't that the truth

[@dek-h1051]

Could you do a Paulaner lager

[@darrenmaybee9639]

what temperature do u ferment at?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

We fermented at 55F

[@Bribie12]

Stella Artois uses a fair amount of flaked maize in the mash.

[@sou_curioso_br]

👏🤤👊🍻🇧🇷

[@jacobmiller6173]

Ole gunnar solskjaer🤣🤣

[@steffenbrygg7907]

reduce oxygen and filter it, then it might become more like the real thing. my brew itch is itching again, but then I think about all the work to reduce oxygen and how messy and work filtering is and I just buy a store lager.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

I fined with gelatin instead of filtering. That did a nice job of getting the beer super clear. Next improvement is, as you say, reduce cold side oxygen exposure. Would like to start doing closed transfers of beer from fermenter to keg.

[@Samtallica]

Nah, the nose he's missing is most likely the skunky smell most beers packaged in green bottles get. Hard to find a Heineken, Stella or Becks around here that isn't skunky (unless it's in a can.)

[@treasuretrails]

Home brewing is so dumb what a waste of time, drinking the real store bought Stella Artois right now and it's perfect no regrets!

[@richardgale9005]

Everyone knows it contains Maize (corn)

Missing the water additives

[@stevenslacik7041]

Where in the UK do you get you ingredients from??

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Despite the accent I'm in North Carolina in the US.

[@EP90C]

Stella has flaked maize(corn) in it. Not a true clone

[@kristof1230]

It differs. Here in Hungary it does, it tastes disgusting. In the UK I had a bottle, which didn't and that was surprisingly ok

[@michaelgardner4702]

This recipe is dear wrong. Stella, along with many European beers outside the Reinheitsgebot area has a fair amount of maize in it as an adjunct. Stella Artois is advertised as containing "only 4 ingredients: hops, malted barley, maize and water". That's why it probably smelled wrong, too much base malt. Go about 15% maize, should get you there. And with the Saaz, use T45 hop pellets, not T90.

[@arminmtb2716]

Stella isnt even beer its farmers lemonade

Haha allow me the privilege of giving you your first like on this comment.

I got liver pains from your products I was huge fan until I was vomiting every day and went yellow in face it's genocide and lawful.

[@Jfaram064]

there's no way stella doesnt have sugar in the brewing process

[@Bribie12]

They use flaked maize.

You annoy me by always mentioning the word english? Do no other nations watch this just the english? I would have subscribed but for this single reason 🙁
