Can’t wait for the British beers! Yay!!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

You won’t have to wait long 😎

[@robbietrench9915]

The all rounder is a great bit of kit ! Great over view of it too. These videos are quickly becoming my fave brew vids! Cheers!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thank you. Yes was impressed and will be using it again.

Hallo zusammen, ich komme aus Deutschland und ich liebe die Aussprache von Martin, gerade wegen seinen amerikanischen Akzent. Mach bitte weiter so. Übrigens ich liebe Rauchbier und lebe in der Umgebung von Bamberg.

[@brauherz8703]

Translation: Hello everybody, I come from Germany and I love Martin's pronunciation, precisely because of his American accent. Please keep it up. By the way, I love smoked beer and live in the Bamberg area.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Oh boy you could have had some of my smoke beer 🍺

[@torstenwieczorek8898]

Congratulations to the video!!! Well done! A traditional Bavarian Weizenbock which is brewed for and sold in the winter season it seems a bit dark in color. To achieve a malty but bananary flavor most breweries use a decoction mash. The are some interesting dry hopped versions available with Mandarina Bavaria or Saphir hops. Keep on your good work. I really appreciate your way through the homebrew challenge! Best regards Torsten

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks Torsten.

[@sergiosilberman366]

Thanks Martin, I love all your videos and now more than ever because you're using new equipment and gadgets. Cheers from Argentina!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Haha who doesn’t love new gadgets.

[@siersmar]

Great video. I use a bouncer pro filter during my pressure transfers to filter out small bits of trub. Cheers.

[@vell0cet517]

I love this channel. Keep up the great work!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thank you!

[@beerandbbqhobbyist6464]

Glad to see you took my advice and started pressure fermenting. Is it really Necessary to use rice husks in a biab? The main reason they do it is to keep from getting a stuck sparse. With biab you don’t really sparge.

[@notquitehim]

When I lived in Germany Weizenbock was my favorite seasonal beer :)

[@chriscamarillo8914]

I pre-ordered my Fermzilla All Rounder. It should be coming in the next few days...I hope. I am really looking forward to it. Congrats on the video streak that you have going. I am really enjoying your videos. Cheers.

[@sergiosilberman366]

Patrick, thank you for your comment. I already read that pressure fermenting was faster than regular one, although I didn't know that temperature control wasn't needed. I'll keep reading because I'm very interested in building one. Cheers!

[@XkannsenX]

you should just remove the spunding valve during the fermentation if you don't really need it. Connect a tube to the T and put it in a bottle filled with water.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Good idea will do that for the next one.

[@atomictyler]

In theory could you ferment, cold crash, lager and serve right out of that single fermenter?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Yes. Planning to put that to the test shortly.

[@atomictyler]

@@TheHomebrewChallenge Awesome! Excited to hear how it goes. That fermenter has moved to the top of my list so far.

[@WreckedBrewery]

Aww so sad to see the german beers go away. Looking forward to what you start on next. Cheers!

[@JohnnyReverse]

which has been your favorite german style?

[@Kmhaack1]

Hi Martin, I was wondering how you like the hop basket compared to the hop spider? I currently have the spider and have realized that at times it's difficult to use. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on both of them and should a make the change.

[@julianwilliams4750]

Hey great vid. Just wondered if you could carbonise beer with the All Rounder and how you would do this eliminating any need for beer, possibly then to use beer gun into bottles. Any thoughts on how this would be achieved. Cheers and keep em coming.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

You can certainly get the beer fizzing in the All Rounder. Just put the beer under pressure for a few days.

[@tuly0]

I like somuch your vídeos! Cheers from Brazil!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thank you!

[@sthomas1322]

Just ordered my fermzilla because of your channel. You should get a kickback.

[@JohannesReppin]

I love my Fermzilla but had I known they were coming out with that version I would have waited. I don't harvest yeast or dry hop though the collection jar...

[@wandersonluz1306]

14:22 smell of the hapness😋😋🌞👍... nice and beautiful beer🐝

[@jasonlahti7211]

Another home run video! When you get to American light lager with its minimal esters, would you consider lagering at room temp under pressure?

[@sergiosilberman366]

Only a question... Did you control fermentation temperature? Because I saw your new fermentator outside your chest freezer. Thanks again. Cheers

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Yeah. 68F.

[@beerandbbqhobbyist6464]

With pressure fermenting you don’t have to worry as much about temps. That’s what make it great. You can room temp ferment and the co2 keeps dialectical away. I’m doing a Octoberfest in a spike conical and it does it quarter the time.

[@CBABitz]

Looks like a nice beer despite being just out of range gravity and ABV-wise according to the BJCP guidelines. My go to Weizenbock is Schneider Aventinus whose OG is around 1.078. Prost!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Prost 🍻

[@joshuawalkerauthor]

Hey Martin great vid as always. What’s the song playing during the brew day?

[@aarongurley7305]

Love the custom printed tulip glasses! I’ve been looking for the same exact thing. Where’d you find those?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Not sure they were a gift. But yeah I love them!

[@MrWimbli]

Thanks !

[@theropers9802]

You shouldn't have to use Rice Hulls in a BIAB system, as you are not sparing through the grain bed.

[@jimbam8590]

Excellent vid again 🍺

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks 👏

[@vmorke]

great movies! just wondering, what do you do each week with that amount of beer!?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Want some? 😄

[@jafarym77]

He must have been very popular in the neighborhood, because all the guys go to his house to hang out and drink beer.

[@wahmunchoo4302]

What's the fermentation temperature degree and stages?

[@wevorodri86]

I love your videos and thought of doing some ob de bjcp styles. Where do you get your recipes from?

[@MrDgmiller]

I was just in the middle of watching your Vienna lager video!

[@mitchellfite879]

Wow you are months behind 😂

[@MrDgmiller]

@@mitchellfite879 You're telling me! I'm catching up!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

😂

[@gregmorris2022]

Hey Martin, I just ordered this setup. Curious how you would ferment a high gravity beer where you’d need a blowoff tube. If the fermentation made it all the way to the top, would the krausen creep into the spunding valve?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Possibly although from my experience the krausen is much lower when fermenting under pressure.

[@gregmorris2022]

Gotcha.

[@davidmallard8729]

Martin, you seemed to be a bit short on volume to the fermenter? Guess the recipe was for 5US gals (18.9L) - see only 13.5L in the FV? Also did you underpitch the yeast like you did for your Hefe? Great vids which I only discovered recently - has been great catching up with you! Good luck for the rest of the HB challenge! Cheers David🍻

[@MatthewHerrold]

You still have gose and lichtenhainer! Dont forget cat 27

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Oh boy. I have to pronounce “lichtenhainer” ?

[@uzgfuzg]

Hi. Do you work in a brewfather program? If so why not put a link directly from the recipe that we don't have to rewrite?

[@HomeBrewingTV]

What would you say the dead space (or beer/trube loss) is for the fermentor?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Sorry I didn’t measure.

[@Quagigitymire]

Such a dark brew seems like a bold venture for the average home beer making hobbyist. From my point of view, a great tasting dark beer is difficult for even commercial level breweries to get right. Too many seem dependent on the novelty of having a high alcohol content to drive sales while the flavor is less than appealing. Although, when it's good, the darker beers are certainly the most enjoyable when drinking to experience new and unique brands. Keep in mind that I am certainly no beer expert, neither in brewing nor tasting. If I'm being completely honest I would mention that the few times I did brew my own beer I failed in every way that matters with each having its own issue that taken collectively would put me as a solid competitor for a worst home brewer competition.

[@nikkola1965]

How many liters of water for a mash please? thanks for the EU measures

[@Peter-Southern-Victoria-Aust]

Keg Land are from here in Australia too, just wondering what ever happened to that Smoked Beer? my tip is you tipped the whole keg down the drain, correct? that thing sounded horrible 😂

[@mrtydg]

How do you come up with your recipes?

[@yitznewton]

Oh thank you, I have a dark weizen slated up for my next brew day!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Good luck!

[@CamStansell]

the perle was 7% at 2017. do you adjust for the age of the hops? sometimes my beer comes out more bitter than expected and wonder if using hop age tools like in beersmith are actually helping or not. . . . . .

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

I’ve never used that hop age tool. I do try to set the correct AA setting for my hops in BeerSmith although I often forget.

[@JohnnyReverse]

maybe i missed it, but how did you check the gravity? did you use a tilt or something? how would you draw a sample from the the fermz

[@KalosPVP]

You could attach a picnic tap to the liquid out post and grab a sample after fermentation dies down.

[@codyfrizzell1002]

Do Gose and Berliner Weisse not count as German?

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

True. Will get the chance to butcher some names of German sour beers when I get to them (next year I think).

[@codyfrizzell1002]

@@TheHomebrewChallenge when you get around to it I would love to see you pair the Berliner Weisse with the the traditional syrups but either way it's a great series keep up the good work.

[@omarpadilla4739]

You pressure fermented a wheat beer? In gods name why?

[@LorriSanga]

How do you tell when the keg is filled to optimal level?

[@KalosPVP]

Before transferring to the keg, make sure the beer is cold. As the keg fills up you'll see the condensation on the outside of the keg where the beer level is.

[@A2an]

It has ben interesting to follow your Beer Challenge👍 So what is the next Beer Challenge ? Ale, Belgian Trappist, I hope 😊

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

I’d love to brew nothing but Belgian beers for like 6 months. They come up at the very end of my challenge.
