    Hey David. I have a question regarding the water profile you use. Could you please elaborate a bit more on that. I've brewed this recipe twice now with great results. Fine tuning each time. The first time my efficiency was off so adjusted the next time around. The water profile listed above says:
    Suggested Water Profile - Ca=110, Mg=18, Na=17, Cl=50, S04=350. Or choose something for Hoppy styles to your preference.
    However when you open the Brewfather link it shows: Ca=101, Mg=15, Na=31, Cl=89, S04=159, HC03=108
    I've use the one from the link on both brews and Brewfather calls the Sulphate to Chloride ratio Slighty Dry or Bitter (1.8). Would these both profiles be classified as West Coast? Would the higher S04 of 350 make it extremely bitter? I would personally like not as bitter as what I brewed . Could you give some advise her please.
    Planning to brew again maybe in the new year when I have more time and an empty keg. I have the Brewzilla Gen 4 now still in the box so it might take it's maiden voyage with the recipe. Thanks again as always!

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Jason, this is a pretty huge topic but let me summarise greatly here. Water profiles are a bit like seasoning for food. Yes they make a difference but not hugely. With the same recipe with different profiles the effect will more a question of taste but if you enjoy one then you will enjoy the other. Its fine tuning as such and something to experiment with.

    Hi David sorry that this question is off topic but I don’t like FB . I am having trouble with stuck mash in my Brewzilla I have followed your instructions on the topic and find them most helpful . However I am unclear in one area Is it detrimental to allow the wort to go back down the overflow pipe or should this be avoided at all cost ? Many thanks for you videos they are the main cause of me returning to home brewing after a 40 year break. Keep them coming
    Mitch

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No problem Mitch FB is a pain in many ways! You should expect some overflowing for up to the first 10 mins of mashing. After this then it will mess with your efficiency. This can be corrected with rice hulls and stirring but a less fine crush should be sought moving forward if possible. I hope this helps :) It makes me proud that I had positive influence on your return to homebrew :)

    @jarleknoph 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for a great preview video as always. I plan to brew this Verdant IPA tomorrow, and the plan was to use pressure fermentation, but which you would not recommend. Would it be good enough to adjust the pressure valve to very low pressure the 5 days, and in this way keep oxygen out of the fermentation process?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would suggest leaving pressure for the first 3 days and then allow it to build. This way you will keep the great esters from this yeast :)

    Hi David, I made a 10 gallon batch of this a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I couldn't find the Verdant IPA yeast so I went with a local yeast lab's equivalent of London III. It was great. A question I have for you is how would the hop play of azacca with centennial work out?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I am sure that would also work but grab some Verdant as soon as you can, its pretty amazing stuff. Centennial is a hop that seems to play well with others in general. I think all the fruit in Azacca would blend in very nicely. Ive not used Azacca much but I think I should grab some more soon for some experimentation myself.

    Hey David, thanks for the great video (as always). Question on a water profile: suggested Cl and SO4 numbers in the description are quite different from the same in Brewfather recipe, which ones should be followed? I do realise that 350 ppm of SO4 is really a lot and will contribute to elevation of hop flavors.

  • @Mr_Daso
    @Mr_Daso 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi! great video as always. I've got a question about the fermentation profile. When it says a three day ramp, does that count for the 3 days at 22C (7 days total) or should I read that as 4 days at 19C, take 3 days to get to 22C and then hold it for another 3 days at 22C for a total of 10 days?

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi :) It's a ramp of 1c per day. From 19 to 23C. Hold at 23 until you have a stable FG. The yeast will make time choices for you :)

    Hi David, this recipe is my first brew ever. So I'm equally exited and terrified.
    Its been fermenting since 23th, and on fifth day it almost stopped bubbling.
    I took gravity reading just now and it's 1.011. FG suppose to be 1.007
    There is still two days till Dry hop according to your recipe on Brewfather.
    Should I follow the recipe or Dry hop earlier while there is still some fermentation left?
    What is the gravity indication number for dry hoping?
    cheers!

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, I suggest that you dry hop right away. You should also rest easy knowing that final gravity is a variable based on many other variables. How yours finishes is likely to not be exact. These are simply estimates 🍻🍻🍻

    David, great video! I've a couple Verdant packs in the fridge and your recipe looks like a future batch! I did however have a fermentation question regarding TILT measurements and your process. Do you wait any amount of time once the TILT has flatlined to package (like 24hrs or 3 days etc.)? Or do you consider the beer ready to package as soon as the TILT has flatlined? Appreciate any info you can share!

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Its not a huge problem but can reduce effeciency. So I would add rice hulls to fix it and give it a good stir to push the numbers back up. Then for the next brew have the grain crush more coarse.

    Am not 100% sure of the sequence that I should be doing... boil has finished, cool down to 80°c with my immersion chiller do the hop stand then whirlpool with the chiller still in whilst continuing to cool? Also how long is too long when trying to cool the wort down to pitching temp? Sorry for the barrage of questions!

    • @DavidHeathHomebrew
      @DavidHeathHomebrew  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I perform an enclosed transfer using pressure. In this case I will switch lid type before I can do that.
      You should only stack these when they are n
      not being used. Once you add an airlock or parts to the pressure lid the it is not going to work. I know some that add blocks of wood to do this though.

There was one fermenter shot that I used the DJI Pocket 2 for also but this is 99% from the two Panasonic cameras mentioned.
