On average its given me 10 gravity points more and the pilsners(and quad..)all fermented down to between1.000 - 1.005. My imp stouts have landed on 1.020.

Try a large Instapot Pro with a large Bain Marie vessel on a trivet (double boiler in pressure vessel) for your decoction mashes. Programmable and no stirring.... I think it's a River City Brewing article on the subject that explained the steps, levels, and why, so perfectly. Anyway, you can do it all in your immediate brew area with no stirring and no running up and down stairs from your kitchen. Yet, still produces those subtle flavors that make most German Beer such a tasty level above our normal level of acceptance. Cheers and great video as usual. Thanks

The problem with spring water, even in the US is that there isn't a standard water profile associated with "spring water." The mineral content of spring water can vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer, as well as region to region across the states. Unless you're able to obtain a mineral report from the specific manufacturer and know where they sourced their water from, you'll never know the mineral content of that spring water.

Hey Steve love the content as always. I have a question. I want to brew this on Monday Aug 19th. Do you think that it's possible to get it fermented and in the keg by Saturday Aug 24th? If so what approach do you suggest? 34/70 under pressure in the mid to low 20's(C)? Novalager under pressure (or not) in the mid to low 20"s(C)? I'm in a rush as I'm going on vacation Sunday Aug 25th . Thanks! Oh yes and I can't forget to mention love seeing your dad again lol. Super cool!

Great to see dad in a video again!🍻 to him he's awesome. I see a lot of videos on youtube where brewers pitch a single packet of lager yeast into a beer and I wonder if I'm paranoid about pitch rate. I always pitch 2 packets of 34/70 when fermenting warmer under pressure and 3 packets if fermenting at 50-52. Pitch calculators seem to indicate 2-3 packets depending on OG of beer and age of yeast. Am I over pitching?
@TheApartmentBrewer11 ай бұрын
Generally I would go with two for lagers but sometimes I've gotten away with one, it fermented just fine, just had to let the sulfur offgas at first. You're not likely to overpitch on a homebrew scale.

If you switch the power mode to percentage, and then keep it at 50% power that is what has worked the best for me. That will cycle the element on and off so its not a "constant" boil per se but it works just as well.

Question about converting the recipe to both metric and Grainfather setup. When I add the recipe the app predicts I get 50.9IBU, so if I do a 30min boil I get 40.9IBU. So question is what would be best practice, aim for equal IBU and then adjust either hops or boil time to get same, or just run your recipe as is on my system?

Nice glas, however, it's a Weißbier glas. 😉HB doesn't produce Pilsner beer. Here in Germany, Pilsner is not that popular in the southern part of Germany (where HB is located). As a general rule (there are exceptions of course), the more to the north you get, the more popular Pilsner becomes. The more to the south, the more popular Weißbier and Helles become as the main beer styles.
@TheApartmentBrewer11 ай бұрын
I think it straddles the line. This is pretty straight walled for a weissbier glass, but I think at the end of the day its what you put in the glass that matters.
