Great info. I have a question regarding Hazy IPAs as this is my favorite style and I am just getting serious into brewing. How long do you recommend for contact time for dry hopping at high Krausen? And how long do you let the hazy condition once its packaged to let hop burn subside? Thanks Dennis, cheers
I wouldn't worry about the contact time with hops. It will be fine for several weeks. After you package you may have to wait a few days, up to a week at cold temps to drop out any hop burn. Using paint strainer bags for hops really helps eliminate that, or at least reduces hip burn. 🍻🤘
Two of this does not apply if you add a bit of sugar and do the carbonation in a bottle. Diacetiel rest happens in the bottle so you actually can bottle after about 8 to 10 days depending on the yeast. But you will have to wait 3 weeks after bottling for the beer to be finished. Oxygen isn't a huge problem because the yeast will consume it. I want to add number 6, when it's way more acidic usually combined with more carbonation than planned. That is one of the signs of a infection.
No the diacetyl rest needs to be done before bottling. It needs the full yeast cake or there won't be enough yeast left in each bottle to consume it. Raising the temp reactivates the yeast and makes it more active. Once the yeast has dropped oxidation actually is a huge problem, because it won't be in suspension any longer. You want to be as careful as you can when transferring to eliminate splashing.
@CityscapeBrewing it's not only my own 15 year of homebrewing experience, it's everywhere if you search for it online. Only a lager stays 2 or 3 weeks fermenting on my setup.
I agree, depending on the yeast style. I am in Europe right now and did a tour yesterday at Pilsener Urquell in Pilzen Czech Republic (video coming soon). They do not raise temp, except for shipped beers overseas, since they have to pasteurize those. With that said, certain lager yeast strains definitely need a diacetyl rest and while it may not always be necessary, it will never hurt to do one. I've tasted plenty of bottled homebrew with diacetyl, which could have been prevented, which is the reason it was in the video. There are plenty of different ways, but I have to put out videos for the masses.
Absolutely brilliant video! And as always extremely helpful information. I'm keen to buy one of those kits of off flavors but here they are over $300 so not anytime soon! I wanted to mention concerning the segment of footage at the end of your last video and this whole video seems to be in a fairly low framerate it could be the camera settings at for example 30fps. I could be wrong but it's something I noticed. Keep up the great content I really do love it!🎉
Thanks! Not sure what you're seeing, I shoot everything in 60 fps but I did get a new camera and still playing around with it. What are you seeing? Is it Blurry?
Actually. I see what you mean. I might need to change some export settings on my editing software and reupload this one tonight. Thanks for pointing that out
@CityscapeBrewing It's no problem at all! I did think it may be export settings but then I thought that would have effected the whole last video? Either way I'm sure you'll figure it out! I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice it but I've had the same issues with my videos. Really not a big deal🤣
Información útil y necesaria, explicada de una manera fácil y entendible ¡gracias por compartir!
Gracias!
Nice to find a new good informative channel! thanks.
🍻💯🤘
I’ve always wanted an off flavor kit. thanks for the video Dennis, cheers
They are great learning tools! 🍻
Great video, simply explained. Thanks.
🍻💯
This is a very good video - simple ways to help your homebrew NOT taste like homebrew!
🍻💯🤘
