I think you hit the nail on the head when you said the lager was the drink all day beer and the ale was the sit down occassin beer. To me the lager is what I crave when im out working hard and want to cool down or relax, the ale is what i look for when I want to have a nice meal. great video thanks
Love the vid! Why is the ale so much clearer than the lager and what clarifying did you do to the ale? I thought the lower temp (and sometimes longer) fermentation of lagers resulted in that super clear lager clarity.
The lager was pulled from the very last bit of what was left in the keg, so the result was a little cloudy, the pours previously were very clear. I cold crash and fine most of my beers with gelatin after fermentation. Time is usually the cause of very clear beers(hence gelatin having the nickname “powdered time”) because it speeds up an already occurring process of all things eventually being pulled down(toward the center of gravity). If you let any liquid sit for long enough, in theory all suspended particulate will drop out leaving a clear product.
I always perfer ales, Lagers to me always seem dull. I make basicly make all ales ,but use Lager yeast at time at high temps. Great way to make nice sour beers. Very rarely do I ever make the same beer twice.
I brewed a very similar Ale to this with Lutra. Question: Did you notice a distinct odor that faded in the first 10 min after opening a can/bottle? I thought it might be a by-product of the Lutra. Thoughts?
@@WolfKingBrewing Almost Tangy Socks, lol (definitely not sulfur I'm a geologist so I know that smell well) The smell did not impact the taste and after 10 min or so was gone. After bottle aging about 3.5 months at this point it does not exist anymore. Maybe it was the german "earthy hops" that faded with time... idk Thanks for the insight.
i have learned that i always like lagers whereas pilsners and ales are nit y thing = IPAs i just plain hate !! bitterr crap that is everyone i have tried.
There's no shortage of "beer tubers", but your style is unique absolutely epic!
Keep'm coming!
Thanks! Appreciate the love and the support as always.
Super educational, would love to see more content like this!
Found your channel after seeing the blue sour ipa on reddit. Gotta say all your videos are excellent. Keep up the great work man
Appreciate it!

Makes sense! I didn’t realize that with some whirlfloc, gelatin, and a cold crash an ale can be as clear as a lager!

Great vid very informative

Interesting, nothing comes to mind specifically. What sort of odor was it?

You used flaked corn. Therefore you did not make beer 😉. (German here)
To me the smell of sulfur isn’t what I think of when it comes to cleanliness. My toilet smells like sulfur after a few weeks without cleaning.
Proof that your Yeast Selection IS CRUCIAL!
Definitely!
Both look like lager to me
lager vs ale what better ?.... no Answer
It's subjective. Only way to find out is to try them.

The first time you "have drunk" them, not have drank. But good show, otherwise.

Profanity? Seriously? Makes you sound like a junior high schooler. Sheesh.
