g'day braj from down under, love the vids mate!! you've helped me with my home brewing setup, brews & cost cutting skillz, peace!

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

Great to hear cheers RK!

[@MarkW3aver]

My go to easy recipe is 6lbs of Bavarian wheat DME in 5gal of water. Only boil for 15 minutes. Throw in an ounce or two of your favorite citrusy hops at flameout, and dry hop with an ounce or two if you want to hop it up more. Ferment in a warm room with dry Voss kveik. It always turns out delicious and super crushable. Favorite so far was an Amarillo and Mandarina Bavaria combo. Cheers braj!

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

Sounds delicious!

[@MarkW3aver]

@@patrickglaser1560 it was absolutely delicious in a wheat. Tastes like fresh tangerines!

I love this video, I’ve brewed the pink starburst hazy 3times, 3 different ways, and every time It keeps getting better. I did it with a dried Lutra kviek and it turned out to be more like a bright lager, so good. Thanks for the great recipe.

Just getting in to homebrewing love the vids... I bought one of those electric systems just for the sours and will be making kettle sour and Orange Cream Ale first in it.

[@ArtilleryChannel]

I found a style of brewing that makes me enjoy any kind of ale a lot more

[@TheBruSho]

I still never made a kettle sour and that one sounds absolutely insane! I gotta try it out one of these days

snag some philly sour braj!

I love these videos. And I would like to see more quick run through easy recipe beers. My only wish is that there would be at least a single non-fruit, candy, chocolate heavy adjunct beer.

[@chozomonkey]

I love seeing things like these - reflections on older recipes. If we're recommending recipes for beginners, I think recommending a SMaSH recipe would be good. A simple pale ale that's all 2-row and maybe an accessible hop like cascade that you can buy by the pound is a good way to learn how different hops at different times affect a beer, but pale ales like that are also super refreshing.

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

Yeah smash pale all with kveik yeast so you don't have to stress temp control just starting out $$$

[@msullivan86]

Love the vids. Ill have to make some of these. I got a few go to that friends and family seem to love entered 1 on a comp and did fairly well in my eyes for a first comp. Cant wait to try some of these.

+1 on smoked beer which is no 2 on my To Do list - I will make 2 gal batch not 5 as intended. Thanks. Stay healthy and keep them coming!!!

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

Deal! 🔐

[@dexterne]

I did a Rauch and HATED it at first. Had to go half and half with a stout to make it tolerable. When the stout ran out, I poured a full pint and didn't hate it, but it still wasn't my fave. Let it sit for a month and revisited. Kinda dug it. Don't know if it just needed age or it grew on me. I did finish the batch FWIW. I will say go easy on the smoke malt (particularly the breiss cherry I used). Pretend it's roasted barley and keep it in the low single digits, don't do 18% like me.

[@kacperzielinski9870]

@@dexterne Actually the beer I'm going to make is only one Ale from Poland and it requires 100% smoked wheat malt. Since I will do 10l batch in worst case I will give it away - some of my friends like this. I personally don't like smoked meat or fish so I'm skeptical - but this style is ~3% ABV and grain bill is only 3kg smoked wheat malt for 20L so maybe the taste won't be that bad.

[@dexterne]

@@kacperzielinski9870 good luck with the Piwo!

[@mattmckay9409]

Another great video. I have to try out using cereal in a brew. I never thought of that! I've used your sour one before and its fantastic. I think I'll have to try the Orange Lollypop IPA next. Keep up the good work braj!!

[@davidfisher9051]

I need to get back into brewing since my wife gave me a Vevor electric brewing system. I added a SS Brewtech fermenter. I bottle my beer and honestly, I want my first batch to not taste like the crappy homebrew I use to make that turned me away from brewing. Which of the 3 recipes do you recommend I start with that will give me the best chance at some quality bottled beer. I love hazy IPAs and dark beers equally well.

[@Brandonsantacruz]

Philly sour is the shit! No expensive electric kettle and fewer steps. It does require that you add glucose, so table sugar, honey, molasses, pure glucose, etc. the more you add the more sour it can get, but don’t go crazy.

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

🍻

[@shagenefu]

Have you ever added carafoam or carapils to get some of that thicky sticky head? I'd love to see a video where mess around with ways to add mouthfeel. A lot of homebrewers (myself included) end up with a thinner/watery mouthfeel.

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

Definitely back in the day but it’s been awhile! 🍻

[@heatherandtimsharp]

[@lazyplumber1616]

Great vid man, little refresher for me. However, great info provided. Do you always strain right out of your boil kettle into your fermenter? I mean you gotta aerate anyway right? I'm going to try that next batch!

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

All the splashing creates enough aeration unless I’m doing a high abv beer (which I don’t anymore) and then I would use straight oxygen

[@lazyplumber1616]

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE Cool, I use a SS air stone and a pump. Never tried pure oxygen, like for welding? Small bottles at the big box store?

Hey Braj, have you had any success using Maltodextrin instead of Lactose in your creamy beers? Just the idea of adding powdered lactose makes my bowels hurt.

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

I haven't used maltodextrin. The key to lactose is don't exceed 1/4lbs for 5 gallon batch or else make sure there's a toilet nearby!

[@kevinfidler8074]

Starting with a stout is logical, very forgiving beer style and not much for ingredients. Here's an easy recipe, what I've been brewing this year. Half rahr 2 row half german pale wheat malt, white labs coastal hazy yeast, and so far I've been using up some whole hops I had, but Im planning on using cascade pellet hops for this brew. Doing 10 gallon batches I use 9lbs of 2 row and 9lbs of wheat, scale that down or up depending. Im thinking about using less hops then I normally do with this one, but for anyone interested use as much or little as you want. For me the beer is light gold in color, not exactly hazy, but not see through either. Good everyday beer to have after work

I'll leave a recipe of mine here, that was probably the best fruited sour I've made to this day: Piña Colada Sour - 6.2% ABV OG with puree added: 1.062 OG after 45min boil (without puree): 1.050 45% - Pilsner - 3.5 EBC 45% - Wheat Malt - 4.8 EBC 5% - Acidulated - 6 EBC 5% - Caramel Pils - 5 EBC 1oz/gal - Table Sugar - Boil - 5min 6oz/gal - Coconut Flakes - Boil - 5 min 1.5lbs/gal - Pineapple Purée - Added to primary at end of fermentation 15 IBU - El Dorado - Aroma - 20 min hopstand @ 85°C / 185°F 0.7oz/gal Sabro Dry Hop - 3 days before kegging 0.5pkg/gal Philly Sour (2pkgs for a 5 gal batch should be fine) Don't forget yeast nutrients! I targeted a 1:1 Cl:SO ratio and a 3:2 Cl:Na ratio.
