Thank you for collaborating with me Steve. The beer was good and it was brewed for a good cause. Cheers man and here's to our next veterans day collab video.
Learning that you’re a serving member of the military and your passion for looking after service veterans has just taken my respect for you to the next level. Awesome home-brewer. Awesome message!!!
Loved this collab! Not only a fun way to make a beer with short mash and boil time. But I really love the message behind this video. Great educational moment from you guys. Cheers and Happy Veterans Day Steve and everyone that served!
Thanks Trent!! Yeah this video definitely felt a lot different to make and carried a lot of meaning for us both. Thank you for watching and have a good Veterans day!
Thanks for sharing what went wrong with your brew. Sometimes youtubers will edit out these information to look good. I will always prefer to watch your videos that can help me fix stuff that I did not think of. Thanks to you, you made me realize that I never calibrate my brewzilla/robobrew. Cheers
Hey AB. Great collab and happy Veterans Day. Not sure its right to say happy. I'm from Denmark, and we dont have a "real" celebration day for veterans. I stopped being a professional solder in 2013, and was based out of Camp Bastion. Did two tours.. What I saw and did doing that 18 months is something I wish I could forget.. The military, if it's US or DK did not provide the info needed before getting shipped to Afghan... I went home after a IED went of on the convoy I was protecting. I was in the front car. The IED went of and hit the third car. the MVP was in the second. My first gunner on top was killed by a young adult, so I had to take over. I emptied one ammo box from the 50cal on top against the Taliban ambush. When I got home I found out the houses where the attacks/ambush came from was not only Taliban fuckers. They used kids and women as shields.. Shit this massage got way to long and personal. I just had to get if of my chest. But I'm good now, It took some years but it was war. Atleast at the time.. And now Taliban took the country back in 14-21 days, what a waste of US/DK forces...
That is a hell of a story, and I agree, no need to apologize for sharing it. Combat is a very difficult thing to reconcile and make sense of as its not black and white like stories make it out to be. I'm glad you got home safe, be well!
Not just US/Dk forces. All the Alliance what joined forces together. I only live now because other soldiers from other countries saved me more then once.
It was awful watching everything collapse at the end. I know a few people who were on the last C130 out. At the end of the day it's all about who's by your side.
Excellent video Steve! Your doing a great job bringing the Homebrewing Community together! I'll have to head over to Yeast And The Beast's channel now. Happy Veterans Day!
I just tried this beer with just maris otter and it’s a good beer. It tastes and smells more like a lager weird I used Voss dry yeast. Very interesting beer. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Great idea to do this video on Veterans Day and raise awareness for PTSD. My dad was a WW11 veteran and Purple Heart recipient. I think of him every day but particularly on Veterans Day. Salute all Veterans for their service. 🍻
Thank you for supporting our brave men and women who allow us to live in the freest country any man have ever seen! Godbless the USA and our troops and first responders!
Great video as always and donated! While he was not in the military, I lost my younger brother to suicide. So thank you for putting this out there and raising awareness. 🍻
Thank you both for your service and thank you for spotlighting such an important issue. As a fellow active duty service member it's great to see when veterans come together to help each other.
Great cause, fun collab! Loving the thumbnail! Fantastic yeast choice also! Enjoying these collabs! Also like I said in Yeasts video, your lighting is also on point! Really good quality!
Great message guys. Thank you both for your service. Mostly thanks for getting the message out concerning mental health. And letting people know, they are not alone. The beer looked good but the conversation was the message. Take care!
I know this is late, but props to those who provide for our freedom in anyway! Having a father who served in the Vietnam war and never talked about it. This is a great video for those who can relate in any way possible.
Thanks for this video as I needed to see something like this today. Brewing has really helped me a lot to relax that sense of urgency when there no longer is one when you get out. Happy Veterans day!
Hi, my dad was in the Vietnam war, he's 74 and lives with PTSD, I tried to enroll to the Australian army but was declined, I 'was' as fit as a fiddle but I have aspergers, OCD, ADHD, GAD and treatment resistant depression as well as a hormone unbalance and hypothyroidism (needless to say I'm on meds), I've not since tried though, I worked in retail for several years and I'm now unemployed, looking for work as always, but I always respect those who fought for our country (australia) but of course the ones from other countries who fought for our freedom! Since being unemployed I've tried the most inexpensive ways to drink and that's brewing your own, this is how I found your channel and others. I brew beer, all grain and extract, ciders, meads and wines etc. But cheers, I really like this video!! 👍🍻
I like the idea of these 12 lb Doppel-Brau because you get to save on electricity costs than having to perform the same procedure 2 times with only half the ingredients. I am working my way up to this goal as my brewing experience increases. My grain bag atm is too small. The mashing kettle can accomodate this many grains?
Great video! Great job using your platform to bring light to an important topic! On the beer side I'm interested in the issues you brought up about this batch. Does mash thickness impact conversion rate? I always do full volume no sparge mashes and found I need 60+min mashes to hit 70+% eff. I've never done a mash out. What is the benefit? Tonight is going to be my first brew on my new electric setup, so I now have the ability to do step mashes and mash out. Might give a mash out a try. Also a good reminder to verify the temp using my handheld thermometer.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm glad we can all make a difference together. The mash thickness does affect conversion rate. If you have two different mashes, one full volume and one less than full volume, with the same grain bill, you have the same amount of enzymes but different water levels. Basically with a full volume mash, it takes longer for all the enzymes to travel around to find all the starches to convert vs the thicker mash. I too normally mash full volume for 60 minutes, but with a thicker mash on the same size grain bill I could have it done faster. I know a lot of people (including Y&TB) use a short thick mash followed up by a sparge instead of the full volume mash with no sparge like I do. Two different ways to achieve the same goal. If you really want to get crazy good efficiency, do a long mash with a slightly thicker liquor to grist ratio and then mashout and sparge. The mashout step helps denature all the enzymes and also aids in lautering.
No need to worry about pronunciation of Amarillo, I found out years ago we all pronounce things differently. Still not sure if it's "wert" or "wort." Great cause gentleman!! Nice collab....Cheers!!! 🍻
Thanks for this experiment. Can you tell about your carbonation plan with the keg? The foam looks good and it's not over carbonated. Which pressure for how long?
@@areftoo typically I serve at 8-10 psi as well and the beer linenis about 5 ft. That being said you'll get different results depending on what altitude you're at and what temp the beer is at when you carbonate and serve so just keep that in mind
@@TheApartmentBrewer Ahhhhhh….. this was driving me nuts. Now it makes sense. Been trolling tube for answers. Also saw Flora crush her grains on the smallest setting which should help. Gonna try a 5G smash Amarillo afterwawatching your Colab to prove theory. I’m on the BIAB bus now!!!
Mash out is raising to 168-170 F for the end of the mash. Just denatures all the enzymes and helps the wort drain out a bit easier. And yeah I had some liquid left over before kegging at the end
@@TheApartmentBrewer if I am mashing in Igloo coolers, does sparging with 170 deg. Water have same effect as mash out?? How long do you mash out with BIAB??? I want to try Amarillo Smash BIAB with 10G batch and mash out to see if it’s easier
As a companion to this video, probably not. I explained those effects before pouring the beer and during the tasting. But as a later video dedicated to the topic, I'll consider doing it
Hello Steve. I too use distilled water and add the right salts. Do you use potassium metabisulfite (E 224) for water purification or beer storage (anti-oxidation)?
I lovebusong distilled as a base for water profiles. It made a big difference in consistency for me once I started doing that last year. I'll usually use ascorbic acid for long term stability actually
I wonder if it's just the camera but my 2 row smash beers are alot lighter colored then yours with rahr brand. More like a light yellow as opposed to beautiful golden like your appears
Can you put in too much yeast nutrient? I'm always worried about messing up my water profile, because it's effectively compounds dissolved into the water, so it affects the water composition, right? I've put 5 gallons worth in a yeast starter and that tasted mighty salty before I mixed it into the batch.
Yeah, just try to keep it to the recommended dosage (varies by manufacturer). Too much yeast nutrient can actually be toxic to the yeast, kveik is the only one where you should double up on it. It won't affect water profile if you add it at the end or during fermentation
I don't know how realistic that is, but that probably depends on where the treatment is coming from. I'm a very pro 2A person but I would prioritize care and leave guns with a friend or family if the person was concerned about that.
@@TheApartmentBrewer I agree with you but those feeling are out there. The legality would vary from state to state bur this thought process occurs with many vets. But I agree that getting help is more important.

Steve, do you lower the pH of the wort to 4.9-5.1 at the end of the brew to keep the bitterness short and mild?
Not really. Usually I don't mess with beer pH post fermentation
Thanks for this experiment. Can you tell about your carbonation plan with the keg? The foam looks good and it's not over carbonated. Which pressure for how long?
My typical carbonation regimen is 5-8 days at 8 PSI, depending on how much carbonation I need
@@TheApartmentBrewer Oh, so patient! Which temperature? And what' the pressure for serving? How long is your serving pipe? Thanks

Best of luck and enjoy!
How long do you mash out ?? 3rd time watching this VID and that may be why myeffhas dropped 10% since transferring from Igloo to BIAG.
Usually I mashout for 10-15 min

What do you think about subbing Simcoe for Amarillo in this recipe?
That would work great!
Both beers sound great. Way to go Brajes! What does “mash out”mean??? Not familiar with the term or effect.
Also don’t understand how u made 5 gallons of beer treating 8 gallons with a 22 min boil ?? Thinking it should have been a7 gal batch??
Mash out is raising to 168-170 F for the end of the mash. Just denatures all the enzymes and helps the wort drain out a bit easier. And yeah I had some liquid left over before kegging at the end

If you're batch sparging yes. Typically I will mashout for about 15 minutes
do you think this beer/this yeast will benefit from open fermentation?
Perhaps, but only if its warm enough. Kveik is a decent top cropping yeast
Please make a video on the errors and impacts ofthem: pH , mash temp so on... 👍
