It's great to see you making videos again, and your looking a lot better now, very informative, i really must try a fresh wort beer kit, looks far much easier, and saving your electric, i have a Cooper's Irish stout tin and enhancer 3, should I had anything else to it ? Thanks and Rock on 👍
I wouldnt add anything extra unless you're after something particular, you could add 300g of sugar just to bump the booze a bit I guess though! Sounds like it would be pretty low booze with just one pack added, but maybe thats what you want. Cheers!
SMB is a game changer. ever since you did those tips/tricks with purging kegs, and handling those hop heavy fruity bombs ive never looked back. big bag of SMB for $15, and a little sprinkle means i'll never use a whole bag in my lifetime!
I wish we could get fresh wort kits in the US. So far that doesn't seem to be happening unless you know a local brewer who will run off some fresh wort from one of their brews. US homebrew shops no longer carry kits except for maybe one or two (literally one or two shops). If we want kits we have to buy them online from Coopers or Munton's and freshness is always an issue. Novice brewers may not even know kits exist, much less where to buy them. But yeah, fresh wort would be amazing to work with. Great advice and great video. Cheers mate! 🍺
Yeah it’s crazy you don’t have them, though the myths of no chill were strong in the USA, they are so much better than any extract beer what ever method used. Cheers Skid!
Listen to Chris graham of more beer on the brewsmith podcast although the episode is about their new flash brew kit he does discuss at the end some of the hurdles in the USA about food products and fresh wort kits and USA fda rules etc. like everything in homebrew USA will catch up eventually 😂
@@1964mjc I hope the USA does catch up. Thanks for mentioning this! I almost brought up the flash brewing kits in my comment! I love that podcast and am planning to listen tomorrow. Some assholes in my country are heavily critical of anything that's not over complicated. And it's scaring away wannabe brewers because not everyone is technically minded. Some folks just want to make beer at home with no fuss. Cheers!🍺🍻
Did you ever try the ramp thing in the RAPT profiles? I normally do that on mine (like up 5 degrees over 3 days) but I’m wondering now if the free rise might be better job. Maybe the artificial heating is bad for the yeast.
I don’t use profiles, I do everything manually, guess I’m just old school 😂 but sometime the yeast struggles with a good free rise so I’ll help it out, that’s usually if I’ve missed that window of yeast activity and it’s slowing down. Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork I like to do most of it manually too but I’ve been using that “temp rise over 3 days when OG hits 1.025” thing for a while now. Though I’ve been chasing attenuation issues as well for a while and exhausted a lot of options, so maybe I just need to let the yeast breathe near the end.
@@feuer-gluat-quoim Never needed too worry about head retention, I think if youre having problems with head retention the problem is more than likely elsewhere in the process. The trouble with auto cold crash is making sure the pressure is kept up, I dont like leaving a gas bottle connected, so I like to check it every day anyway and again manually do it as needed. I solely use it for monitoring rather than controlling, except for the rapt pill controlling the temperature. Cheers!
Hey gash!!! I brewed one of these recently but the first few weeks in the keg it had an extract like taste. Do you think it’s all grain base or extract? Cheers
Thats very strange, maybe it was something else, I'd point at the yeast, but without tasting it that's only a guess. He brews them in a commercial brewery. Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork yeah it was strange but it’s taste great now. I used the hop head yeast also maybe it was a combination of that and my dry hop. Good base though I’ll be trying more of his for sure
I havent used this yeast before, we'll see how it goes in mine! Its started really strong but slowed right down at the end, I'm giving it more time in the fermenter than I usually would because of this, just to make sure it's down and I dont get any of those yeasty flavours. Cheers!
Gavin you should remake the videos on bottle filling and all of them ,,,,,unless you know what to ask for people ain't gonna go back to look at that one.. Like how not to get oxygen in your beer when bottling who thinks of that. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺that's
The bottling video is linked in the description, bottling beer at home without oxygen ingress is near impossible without expensive machinery, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take every possible step to reduce it. There's many myths that the yeast is going to consume it etc which it eventually probably consumes most of it, but the damage is done in minutes well before any yeast can eat the oxygen and its irreversible, it might take a week or 6 months to show its face, but its there. Some videos will be remade though for sure!
if i didnt do all grain i would do these all the time. did alot of the fwk from grain and grape when they was around(seems funny saying that when it was only earlier in the year they closed) there is no real shame in doing these keg fillers lol. i am assuming this is a beer your not allowed to have such as an oat cream ipa
While I'm in no way a fan of the cans, at least you can buy them just about anywhere, and in a fairly large range of producers and types. FWK's on the other hand, are hard to find in any variety. Here on the Gold Coast, it's pretty much All-In-Brewing's range or nothing, no matter which brew shop you choose. Buying one on-line and getting it freighted? Forget it, you may as well just buy a couple of cartons.
I did check NBC's site for distributors. Annerley HB has closed down. Hoppy Days is the closest at 73km away, and they don't list anything but All-In. Not knocking them, I've made a few and they've turned out great, but there's not much else to chose from locally.

I agree the coopers dark ale and stouts are the best in the can selection.
for sure mate!
Got a NBC NEIPA on tap at the moment and it is delicious. I used Verdant yeast and dry hopped with Citra mosaic and Simcoe.
Good to hear! Cheers mate!
Fantastic video!!!
Thanks mate!
Did you ever do the tasting on this kit?
shit, have I just haven't uploaded it. Hopefully get it up before christmas, but flat out here, it was tasty!

They would be great just chucking it into a corny keg, and pressure ferment. Once done, serve right from the vessel
Yes you could do that, no worries at all. Cheers!

@@padraickeogh yeah chilling it as it’s starting to slow down isn’t the best option so maybe try turning that off at the end. Cheers!
I like to use profiles for the cold crash to cool it down over 3 days or so.. heard it shall be good for head retention

They truly are the way to go if you can't do all grain yourself.
