Great video! I’m an experienced home brewer and out of curiosity, decided to “brew” the Irish Red Flash Kit. I made it on Wednesday evening after work in about 10 minutes. It was already happily bubbling away in 2 hours. Eight hours later, it was going insane! It’s about 48 hours later and most of the visible activity has stopped. Can’t wait until I keg it!
Thank you for this video! I wanted to use my new FermZilla AR for my Fresh Pressed FB kit and ferment under pressure. I wasn’t sure what pressure to set for the sounding valve as this is my first time usual it. Cheers for a great video!🎉
I am so looking forward to tasting this. I'm in southern Nevada. My brew area in garage is 100 degrees so I don't brew in summer. These kits are a game changer for me. I have this kit in fementer right now. I did 5psi as well. Plan to transfer to keg friday.
My thoughts too. Seems like it has to be some sort of kveik yeast to crank out a batch that fast. Definitely intrigued more and more. I may pull the plug and give one of these kits a go.
An interesting point is that the included instructions say to start out with three gallons, add everything then add the final two gallons for a total of five gallons of water. The FAQ for Flash Brewing on More Beer's web site says to "top up to five gallons". Do you think it really makes a differance?
Just when you think you’ve seen it all……….I thought I was quick when I started brewing 5 years back and got in early on the Kviek train with a grain to glass in circa 60 hours (which I’ll need to to in next couple of days too as I’m all out of brew!!)
Not far off from the Mangrove Jacks Cider kits. These fall in line quickly when you have a party in short order or are too busy to dedicate half a day to the full process.
New AG brewers, please do _NOT_ use only distilled or RO water for brewing without adding your own minerals to the water when brewing all grain (DME/LME is fine). It will make your beer taste flat and it inhibits the yeast propagation and activity. Using spring or tap water is generally fine(as long as your tap tastes good, and for tap you could use a metabisulfate or cheap RV filter to help remove chlorines/chloramines). Otherwise, $45ish for 5g of beer, this kit is actually pretty economical provided you have a fermentation bucket, etc.
Using RO is fine when brewing with extract. The extract was produced with water and will contain the minerals of the water used for the mash to create the extract. Without knowing the mineral content of the extract, adding brewing salts is a bit of a gamble, though one could boost the Sulfate or Chloride a little to style.
Um 🤔 You may have missed the point of the video here... This is instructions for how to brew a pre-boiled malt extract kit. The malt is Sprite dried. Obviously it is condensed from its original state. The condensing of the malt is not linear. It's not straightforward to get a water adjustment done in this situation. Using RO or distilled water is good🍻
@@PortlyGentleman Appreciate the quick jab on that... Forgot to adjust my comment with "when brewing AG, this is only for extract" as some may be confused by the usage of RO/Distilled in all brewing applications, and this should really only be done with the DME/LME.

Nice let me know how it turns out 🤯
@@PortlyGentleman Will do!
How was it?
@@ryandougherty4042 Turned out really good actually.

@@timothyhansen1842 My pleasure. Depending on what you're doing I would say up to 10 lb is perfectly safe 🍻

Let me know what you think after you've had a couple of pints?
@@PortlyGentleman Will do
🍻🍻
@PortlyGentleman so, I have probably had about 10 pints since kegging. Pleasantly surprised how good this is. Will definitely purchase again. 🍻
That's the same experience that I've had 🍻🍻
Sounds interesting! Nice way to get a beer ready quickly with little to no work! Cheers 🍻
You know it 🍻
Beer in a flash for real! Going to try it 🍻
I think you will be pleasantly surprised 🍻
Any thoughts on what the yeast is? Lutra or another Kveik?
With that kind of temp range, there's really only a couple options 🍻
My thoughts too. Seems like it has to be some sort of kveik yeast to crank out a batch that fast.
Definitely intrigued more and more. I may pull the plug and give one of these kits a go.
I think you should. It's so easy and actually turns out pretty tasty.
Thank you for so many wonderful videos. I truly enjoy your content. One quick question: Where did you get the tc-clamp with handles for your mini uni?
I got it for directly from Brewtools for demo.
They should have it available as well as morebeer here in the states.

I usually do start with 3 gallons at the the yeast then the hop bite then cryohops then the extract then a further 2 gallons of water.
I just ordered one to try out. I think it could be neat.
It definitely will be. What kit did you get?
@@PortlyGentleman I am going to try the Irish Red ale. It should be delivered tomorrow.
Nice 🍻

I definitely know the feeling 🍻🍻
Did I miss you mentioning what the gravity and abv was?
I did mention the final gravity. The ABV I believe was 4.6
The "flash ale yeast" is lutra, isn't it?
I honestly don't know 🍻
does it taste like....extract?
Not at all 🍻

I've not tried one of those but sounds similar for sure 🍻

Yes clearly someone missed the concept...
