As a homebrewer, how much do you focus on water chemistry? And is there anything else you'd like to me explain in a future video that I may have missed?
I only use chloride and gypsum and lactic
@@koplandavid Yea, that's all you need for most styles. I also keep Epsom and kosher salt in my brewery.
Great video, I'd really like to see a more detailed video of you putting the ro reservoir system together.
I filmed everything. So I’m thinking of releasing it sometime soon.
It's a good video, but hardly any water chemistry videos talk about *when* to add the chemicals. To the strike water? To the mash? To the boil? When and why?
I don’t know how I got here but I am intrigued and entertained
Haha! That’s what counts the most ;-)
Nice work brother!! Good overview o the brewfather water section. I love that software! 👍🍻
Thanks and same! Really appreciate it 🍻🤟
This is some serious high quality homebrew content. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you for saying that! You've tapped into my main goal with this channel ;-)
Best video for brewing ever!...WATER is everything for great brews. Newbie brewers watch and then re watch
Couldn't agree more!
Wow! Thanks so much for the shoutout! Happy to test your water for you!
Thanks again!
Wow, that's a completely new level of production quality for a homebrewing video. Thanks a lot, I love your videos and your brewery!
Thank YOU! The plan is to continue this level of quality. Needed to set the stage with the first two videos.
@@BrewCabin can't wait to see more videos! My videos never were as sophisticated as yours, but I know how much time goes into a video! Cheers!
best you tube video award in the soundtrack category goes to ... this video!
Hell yea!
This was the most rocking homebrew video I've watched in a while. I love seeing when creators are having a good time while filming, you're an inspiration!
Wow, thanks!
This Is The Way.
Thank you. This Is The Way 🤘
Indeed it is! 😅 Feeling like a beginner all over - but great example to strive toward!
You the Man !! Finally a nice explanation on how to do water adjustments !! Thx Bro
Glad it was helpful!
Came to increase my knowledge of water chemistry, stayed for the totally banging rock music🤘
Haha! Glad you found it and glad you stayed. Check out the other videos. They all have music ;-)
The Owls Are Not What They Seem is a great name for a beer! I'm brewing a Black Lodge Stout next week!
Hell yea! Glad you got the reference. I'm doing a whole Twin Peaks series of beers soon.
Dang, I need more videos. Excellent start to the channel and super informative!
Thanks! More on the way 👍🍻
This is the RO Water video I had no idea I needed in my life. But now, I can't imagine my life without it.
Haha! Your life will never be the same ;-)
That rock and roll segment made me spit up my coffee! Awesome video dude. And you shred!
Awesome! Thank you!
Bro....... I’m in! Best brewing channel entertainment wise out right now. What can we expect for release of videos?? I’ll post ya up in the brew groups if you’re going to be consistent!
Thanks! Right now it’s been every two months. But I’m trying to ramp it up in March. The goal is to be consistent.
you got the makings of a great channel there lad, keep it up.
and i would live in that brewery it's class! keep pumping out the vids (and songs!). Slainte, all the way from Ireland :)
Thanks, will do!
Nice work!! Love the setup and your videos are crazy entertaining. Keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do!
I love the effort you're putting into these videos, the music skits are just the best!
I appreciate that!
The level of creativity that comes out of you is absolutely unbelievable. I wish I had one tenth of your creativity and talent. Keep up the amazing work. CHEERS!
Wow! Thank you 👍🍻
Matt is like the Chuck Norris of creativity
Your video/production quality is on point!
Thanks!
Look here mate. I’m from New Zealand and I’ve never even home brewed a single drop in my life. But I can run a water treatment plant and find this extremely interesting. On top of that I’ve subscribed because of content/music/beer/memes. This is the holy recipe for a channel to blow up and I’ve been part of many channels from the start that have blown up big time incorporating these elements so GOOD LUCK!!
Thank you ! These vids are hard to make, so they're few and far between. But I'd love to spend more time on them. The research, scripting, filming, editing, and sountracking just takes FOREVER LOL. But I appreciate the sub and the like and I'm glad I got the water chemistry video out for ya!
He's got two videos, and over 3k followers. He's doing it right.
I’m still a little shocked, but that was the plan for this channel all along. Didn’t expect it to do THAT well though 🍻👍
Just started home brewing a few weeks ago and love the video, super helpful. Looking forward to the first brew video
Coming soon!
Love your videos, thanks for posting this!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video mate! You’ve set the bar to a new high level keep em coming 💪🍻
Thanks and will do!
Thanks so much for your dedication to home brewing! As a novice, it’s fantastic to have a resource like you. Keep up the great content!
Hell yea and will do 👍🍻
This is gold! Keep the videos coming!
Will do!
After that rock break, i subscribed. Love this video
Heck yea!
Been brewing for a while. Excited to finally get into water chemistry! Thanks for the info, and great video as always.
Good luck!
Just throwing it out there that i subbed before he got to 3k subs. Subtle flex.
Love it 💪
Great video, sub’d! Id love to see a video on the RO system build: price, parts, installation, can everything be bought off amazon or is it more niche products? Thx again 🍻
Whoa! Super flattered over here. Love your channel! And I have the entire RO build filmed in real time which I plan to release. I strapped a GoPro to my head and just built the whole damn thing while explaining it. So it’s like an hour thirty. Too long for this video, but I have it 👍🍻
@@BrewCabin Sounds good braj! looking forward to more of your content
I agree with HB4F. Video was good. I have a system in my house for my brewing and it makes things easier for sure. Keep doing your thing.
@@estabanflemons That's awesome! Thanks for the support and motivation 👍
Adding support for full RO build video!
One of the best brew channels I've seen. keep it up
Thanks and will do 🍻
Great Build ! And very entertaining video , Cheers 🤙🏼🍻
Thanks!
Great videos 👌 .. now eagerly awaiting the rest!
Thanks! They’re coming soon. Working on one now. They take...a while lol
I somehow arrived here. Was intrigued by the subject and subscribed for the song :)
Haha! Thanks 🍻👍
I've watched a lot of brewing TH-cam. I really like your channel. I hope you keep making videos, they are much better than most of the content out here right now
Same! I feel like a connoisseur of brewing videos on and off TH-cam. So I appreciate it! And I’m working on a new video now :-)
Great content, will stay tuned!
Thanks!
Awesome video! Love the music bits! Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
This was great! Super entertaining and educational!
Thanks 👍🍻
You're the highest budget/effort small TH-cam channel I've ever seen. Amazing videos mate and I hope you won't stay a small channel much longer 👍
Appreciate it!
Awesome and easy explained. Thx :)
You're welcome!
This channel is going to blow up...
Hope so! Working on my 3rd video right now ;-)
Thanks for this video! Water chemistry is something we want to get into but haven’t really had the know how!
You’re welcome!
Loved it mate great info and guitar skills....Cheers
Ha! Thank you 🎸
Your channel is amazing. HOPefully the next video will release sooner!
Thank you! And honestly, I want to publish more often. That's my goal in 2021!
just "discovered" your channel. AMAZING!
Glad you enjoy it!
wow. I just discovered your channel. Its soo good man! Keep it up with the good work!
Awesome! How did you discover it?
So next level Matt -- love it.
Thanks!
Very refreshing video. Seriously jealous of your setup/man cave. Also enjoyed your chat with James @Basic Brewing. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks! Glad you heard that. I was fanboying out on James. Seriously a dream come true.
loved this content!
Glad to hear it ;-)
Great video, looking forward for more!
More to come!
Outstanding video, very funny and informative. Subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
We need MORE videos from you!
More are coming! One at the end of May 2021. They take weeks to script, film, edit, and then soundtrack. All done by yours truly. And I have a day job that gets in the way LOL.
super creative! keep it coming
Thank you! Will do!
Excellent thank you! Loved the rock scene!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing video!!!!
Thank you!!
Loved the video. Learnt a metric shit ton..
Dug the heavy metal. Fuck yeah!!!
Your channel should have trillions of subscribers, if not gazillions.
Stay metal and keep brewin!!!
🤘🏼😠🤘🏼
Cheers from India
Will do! And I hope to have a gazillion subs soon ;-)
I'm in love! RO WATER!!!
Hell yea!
Found your channel from a suggested so the TH-cam formula works! Anyway I hope your channel grows and does well you are super entertaining and very thorough! I just built a full automated herms home brewing system with a touchscreen raspberry pi. I would love to learn more about water additions and suggestions as how you find or come up with these water additions. I will be checking out your website. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
editing 10/10
Hell yea!
9.5 out of 10. Let's not let his ego get too big after only 2 videos :)
@@LocationRebel Haha!
This is awesome
Thanks!
Great content and hilarious!
Thank you! Glad you were entertained on what could be considered a very boring topic to some people ;-)
Very entertaining and informative! 😂🎉😊
Thank you!
Great content, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
@@BrewCabin Have you thought about sharing any of those recipes on Brewfather? Always looking for new juice to brew.
@@hrwilliams I haven't thought about it. But now I will. Forgot that was even an option ;-)
Excellent, great setup and thanks for sharing! I just got into water chemistry and started using Brewfather to calculate. Now, even more the reason to add the RO filter in my brew room. Thanks to Short Circuited Brewer for providing the link to this video!
Hell yea! Brian’s setup is perfect and the video was incredibly helpful.
@@BrewCabin One more question....how were you able to plumb the water line to the side of the pot filler (as opposed to behind the wall)? Are there pot fillers out there that allow for plumbing to the side or did you add something (like a T) and anchor to the wall? Any tips are appreciated as I am looking to do something similar. Thanks!!
@@ediemboyer Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm open for ideas on this as well.
@@shrumby7231 after much research and based on my needs for brewing (about 1 brew per month), I went in a different direction as I only needed enough water to brew 5-6 gallon batch per month or so. I ended up getting the Waterdrop D6 Reverse Osmosis system that was very easy to install on my stainless steel sink and provided me with the water I needed to brew. Less equipment and much more simplified.
The video is GREAT!! RO water is the way to go. The brewery is very nice. The experiments performed in homebrewing have no connection with ale and lager because the instructions for producing homebrew are based on producing distillers beer. Alpha, glucose, and a single temperature infusion are only needed for producing distillers beer. The steps that are needed for producing ale and lager are skipped in homebrewing because the steps require a lot more work and time, costlier ingredients, and more equipment, than it takes to make homebrew. Conversion, dextrinization and gelatinization steps are skipped in homebrewing and when the steps are skipped ale and lager cannot be produced. The only purpose of Alpha is to release, glucose, which is a building block of life, from starch, and the enzyme works quite efficiently at 98.6F. Glucose is responsible for primary fermentation and ABV.
The single temperature brewing method, chemically and enzymatically, cannot produce ale and lager, due to the way that enzymes work and chemical precipitation, making strike and target temperature not so useful for producing ale. The high temperatures used in homebrewing denatures the low temperature activated enzymes required for making ale and lager, Beta, in particular. The brewing method produces extract that is chemically imbalanced, sugar imbalanced and unstable, which produces beer with short, shelf life. Homebrew is artificially carbonated with sugar or CO2 injection and drank, green, boiler to belly in four to eight weeks, because the beer, rapidly, deteriorates during fermentation and conditioning.
When conversion occurs, secondary fermentation takes place. Beta is the converter (140F), the enzyme converts simple sugar, glucose, that Alpha releases from amylose during liquefaction, into complex sugars, maltose and maltotriose, which are the types of sugar needed for making ale and lager. Yeast works differently on maltose than it does on glucose and it takes place during secondary fermentation. Beer doesn't need to be artificially carbonated with sugar or CO2 injection, due to maltotriose. When conversion occurs, beer tends to overly dry and thin during fermentation and conditioning. To counteract the negative impact, two steps are used in brewing ale and lager that cause dextrinization and gelatinization to occur. Dextrinization and gelatinization are responsible for body and mouthfeel in beer. The steps are skipped in homebrewing because of the time and work involved.
There's a type of hard, heat resistant, complex, starch in malt that makes up the tips of malt, called amylopectin. Contained in amylopectin are A and B limit dextrin, which are tasteless, nonfermenting, types of sugar responsible for body and mouthfeel in beer, along with a type of albuminus protein that doesn't form at high temperature. The temperatures in homebrewing are too, low to burst the heat resistant, starch, where it enters into the mash liquid, before Alpha denatures and the richest starch is thrown away with the spent mash, unused and paid for. Mash is boiled to take advantage of the starch and when the boiling mash is added back into the main mash, Alpha, liquefies amylopectin and dextrinization and gelatinization occurs. Pectin is responsible for gelatinization, it's cellular glue that holds beer together through the long conditioning cycle that ale and lager go through.
To produce high octane distillers beer soak malt at 150F because at the temperature Alpha releases the highest volume of glucose, as possible, from starch within a hour. The more glucose the more alcohol. The temperature is used in grain distillation. Test for starch at 30 minutes using Iodine. No starch, move on, nothing more will occur. Marris Otter, Halcyon and Golden Promise are good malts for producing distiller beer. They're high quality, distillers malts. There's a certain malthouse that produces Marris Otter with10 percent protein content, that's the malt to use. However, the malt is over modified and that's OK as long as corn and rice aren't used. Diastatic power is low in the malt. Some six row, malt would need to be added when corn and rice are used.
To produce ale and lager an entirely different brewing method and under modified, low protein, malt are used. Under modified, malt is richer in enzyme content than high modified, malt and low protein, malt contains more sugar. Modification and protein content are listed on the malt spec sheet that comes with each bag of malt, which a brewer uses for determining the quality of malt, before it is purchased. Weyermann floor malt and Gladfield's American Malt are under modified and good choices for making ale and lager. To view a malt spec sheet click on Gladfield's website and find American Malt, the spec sheet is on the page. Part way down on the spec sheet, under the EBC column, is Kolbach. Kolbach , S/T and SNR are used for determining level of malt modification. I use data from the EBC when purchasing malt. Malt, 40 Kolbach and lower is under modified. Malt should contain less than 10 percent protein. The higher the Kolbach number and protein content, the less suitable the malt is for producing ale and lager. It's not a bad idea to become familiar with the acronyms and numbers listed on a malt spec sheet. A malt spec sheet is more important than a recipe. Recipes, are a given, anyway.
To take advantage of under modified, malt, at the least, a three temperature step mash should be used, which produces pseudo ale and lager. To take full advantage advantage of the rich malt, a triple decoction is used, which produces authentic ale and lager. To soak more expensive, under modified, malt at one temperature is a waste of money because less expensive, high modified, malt will make the same beer, glucose is glucose.
To produce cleaner extract skim off hot break as it forms and continue to remove hot break until it drastically, reduces, when that happens, add hops, skim off second break and boil for an hour. Less hops are needed and hop utilization increases because the extract is cleaner. About hops. The percentage of Beta should be listed on a hop container. When the percentage of Beta is missing the quality of hops cannot be determined. The Alpha and Beta numbers should be within a decimal point of each other. The closer the numbers are, the finer and more balanced the hops are.
To learn how ale and lager are produced start out with DeClercks books. Abstracts from the IOB are free, online and interesting to read. In the 19th century the IOB made malt, modern when they invented the malt spec sheet. Also, the IOB standardized the tests that brewers performed on malt and moved the testing procedures into the malthouse. Since, time is time, why spend time on producing low quality, distillers beer, when the time can be spent on producing ale and lager? That way you'd be honest when telling a person that the bottle or keg contains ale or lager.
STAY SAFE. STAY THIRSTY. STAY BREWING.
Thanks!
It’s the pool guy!
Yup! That's my day job.
Just like they use to make beer olden days😄👍
Actually, according to the book Water: A Comprehensive guide for Brewers, there are references to Burton brewers practicing water chemistry as far back as 1878.
I've never really gotten into the water chemistry side of things, but have been considering it lately. I will give Brewfather a gander, thanks.
You should! It's fun. And BrewFather is freaking awesome!
Awesome content and I don’t even brew. Can’t wait for more!
That’s a stunning compliment! Thank you 👍
I really like the "out of the blue" musical moments :)
And I plan to include them in every future video ;-)
@@BrewCabin Might need a cut scene montage.
You are genius! 👍🏻😁
Haha! Thanks 🍻
Great vid man!! i totally get it now, definitely using RO water since here in Mexico City there's no way to know what's in the water lol
Awesome to hear! And thank you 👍🍻
cant wait for your next video....
Working on it now!
Love both videos so far the only thing the first one had me missing was a whole wall around of everything done 😭 hopefully you got a future video coming soon for that!
Oh for sure! Tour coming soon 👍
RO water song got me. Subbed
Hell yea! How did you find the video?
Looking up water chem videos! Getting ready to make a neipa and want to get all I can right.
Your set up is mighty impressive. I just recently got into all grain, and really started to pay attention to PH especially.
Great video
Thanks!
@@BrewCabin I like the bit where it was funny too.
Really man! I became a fan.
Hell yea! 🍻
Cant wait first brew. like the songs in betwen......🍻🔝👍
That's the next video. Song included.
Subbed af. Let's goooo!
Right on!!!
Awesome video!! Do you care about or make any adjustments to hit targets around sulfate:chloride ratio or residual alkalinity?
Yes! 100% I care about all of it and how accurate.
NICE VIDEO
Thanks
The R O water song that came out of know where is killing me. You are F ing hilarious !
Haha! Thank you
Hair metal and home brews. Subscribed
Hell yea!
Saw Brian's IG post. Sub'd. Good job buddy!
Nice! Glad you liked it 👍🍻
Came here for water information, stayed for the music
That's been my favorite part of making these videos. Sometimes I spend more time on the music than the edit LOL.
This channel is going to grow so fast
Thanks! Hope so!
This will blow up!!!
I hope so!
Great content, would love to do something similar myself
Thanks!
Epic! 🤘
Thanks 🍻
When is the next video? It has been months! Never felt so entertained watching brew vids. Keep it up plz! ❤️ This is the way
Coming May 2021
Loving the 90's skater video aesthetic.
Haha! Thanks ;-)
great video! I'm looking to add this RO system to my home brewery. Are you still seeing good results on this unit? any future videos coming out?
Yes and yes
The production quality on your videos is incredible. Any chance you’ll do an overview of your SS Brewtech 3V system? I have the same system arriving today!
Possibly! I'm saving the channel for super produced stuff and avoiding product reviews. But I do have a video course where I brew an entire beer from start to finish on the system.
@@BrewCabin That’s more so what I’m looking for is just an overview of how youre using it, so that would be great!
Great video, I really enjoyed it. I wander what percentage of homebrewers are also home-musicians? Looking forward to more brewin; and jammin' videos!
Good question! I bet quite a few. I know @donosborn is: th-cam.com/users/donosborn
golden content
Thanks!
Yep, you win. You're better than me at everything.
Haha! Well, now I'm going to watch all your videos. I'm a homebrew video junkie!
@@BrewCabin Don't do that to yourself! My videos are not worthy.
Excellent video, music background and brew room setup! One question....how were you able to plumb the water line to the side of the pot filler (as opposed to behind the wall)? Are there pot fillers out there that allow for plumbing to the side or did you add something (like a T) and anchor to the wall? Any tips are appreciated as I am looking to do something similar. Thanks!!
Yea you can do it with any pot filler too. The plumber just used a 90 degree tee fitting right on the wall.
