Brewing an Amber Ale using the Fermzilla as a pressure fermenter today I do have a video following this one on dry hopping coming next week. I have had to learn where to place my cameras and what settings to use on this brew video. I apologize if it is a little difficult to watch. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. Don't forget to subscribe. Cheers Pierre
Often the flicker is caused by the shutter speed, typically you want a shutter speed thats 2x your frame rate so for 25fps frame rate your shutter should be at 1/50th of a second, but if you get flicker you can adjust your shutter up a little and it should lessen or even dissapear or even down as well just dont go below 1/25th of a second. The problem is the electricity cycles at 50hz and that can interfere with the sensor at certain frame rates. If nothing works you may just have to chamge out your lights
@@jeffbrislane5782 Thank you I appreciate the info and your time. I believe I am on top of it. My next video should be much easier to watch. Cheers Pierre
@@SimpleHomeBrew No worries mate! I only just found your channel and i love it especially how you show a lot of your thought processes with brewing, not many people do that
I think the flicker here was due to shooting at a frame-rate of 30/60fps under lights powered by 50Hz mains. My camcorder can switch between 50fps (labelled as "PAL") and 60fps ("NTSC"). I usually shoot soccer in the daytime in Oz at 60fps as it works a bit better when I later slow it down for slo-mo replays. But once, when the start of a 3pm match was delayed, the match started so late that the 2nd half ended up being shot under flood-lights. I saw this kind of flickering/"beating" which got progressively worser as the the natural sunlight faded out and the proportion of artificial lighting increased. If I had of known the match was going to start so late, I would have shot it at 50fps.
@@dosdan Thanks Dan, I have to have all my settings at 24fps and my shutter speed at 48 to make the flicker subside. I am using LED lights that seem to have two different frequencies. All my other videos are looking great unless I need to slow the video down. Thanks for the advice. Cheers Pierre
Thanks for the info! I have set my camera up to compensate. As I have made many videos since I have had no issue. You are going to love brewing with the Fermzilla they are great. Cheers
Why do u use a jacket on the fermzilla? Is it to keep the fluid and yeast warmer than 22 deg so it will activate? How long do u leave tha jacket on? 2-3 days? Thanks
Hi, @TheBossMitch I use the jacket not only to stabilize the temperature but most of all to keep UV light out of my beer. UV can adversely affect the flavour and colour of your finished product. I leave it all the way through the process.
Did you just use the dry malt and malt extract? is that enough for a good ale or do you think making it more "personal" and trying adding some other malts and hops you choose yourself might make a better beer?
Most definitely, I did a about 5 or 6 videos on Morgans kits using their recommended methods, even though they are not to bad as a beer adding your hop additions and flavourings is a necessity.
Thanks. Yeah I should mention when I will be kegging my brew and all I require is 19 litres. I will start doing that in my future videos. Cheers Pierre
Thank you very much for all the great videos. They have been very useful. I am using some lager extract that is meant to go through 8 days of traditional (no pressure) primary fermentation. How long do you think it should be with pressure? How long did you put yours for? Thank you
I found that brewing under pressure make no difference in the fermentation period. I believe fermentation is all about the yeast, if you want a quick turn around try changing the yeast to kveik yeast I hear that kveik is awesome for this and leaves hardly any after taste.
Hi Tommy, I bought it here. www.ebay.com.au/itm/STANDARD-CARBOY-CAP-ORANGE-NEW-TYPE-FITS-ALMOST-ALL-3-5-6-GALLON-PLASTIC-GLASS/331163742676?hash=item4d1ae5b1d4:g:gxEAAOxy4eJTNNx9 I couldn't find it anywhere local.
Great stuff mate. Just done same amber ale with dark malt and steeped rolled oats. Should be carbed up ready for drinking today. Need to run a tap in your new cave 👊💦
At the moment as it is the sheds temperate is hard to control. I will be insulating it soon then I can contemplate having a small bar. Hope you Ambeer Ale tuns out well, it sounds good.

great video. LED lights can cause camera flicker due to their frequency. Going to do a brew on my brand new fermvilla this week.

Nice one, nice shed noticed you that insulated the roof.
Thanks, I am working insulating the whole thing.
keep up the great work!
Thanks mate cheers.

Don't forget that the liquid malt and dme also takes up volume!! 😉👍

@@SimpleHomeBrew why not make to 21L if all you need is 19L? You'll get fuller flavour too

Did you account for the volume of extract in the can? Just saying...🍺
I ended up with the right volume in the fermenter. You tell me.
Great vidate, what was the music called right at the end
Not a bad song, Huh. I got the song from Facebbok creatior studio. it's called. Burnt-End-Bonanza
Could I send you a head band ?
I hope in future videos you recognize and fix the light flickering in the camera playback.
No thanks for head band, I have made a lot of videos since this one the flicker was just the a quick easy fix. Cheers
Where is part 2 please?
Here you go Linda! th-cam.com/video/rzgS4penB9M/w-d-xo.html
Brew sheds looking great. I don't see a small fire extinguisher on the wall anywhere. Just saying. Cheers.
I was just thinking about that yesterday. I suppose it may be good idea. I actually sell them where I work.
@@SimpleHomeBrew Yeah ive got one, you just never know. Top man cheers
brother were can i get them carboy lids you are useing in the background
don't think my brew shop has them thats all
Hi Tommy, I bought it here. www.ebay.com.au/itm/STANDARD-CARBOY-CAP-ORANGE-NEW-TYPE-FITS-ALMOST-ALL-3-5-6-GALLON-PLASTIC-GLASS/331163742676?hash=item4d1ae5b1d4:g:gxEAAOxy4eJTNNx9
I couldn't find it anywhere local.
Just done an Amber myself. Where did you get your shirt made up?
I ordered the t-shirt from Vista Print. $30. The material is not so great but the logo is high quality.
Simple Home Brew cheers mate

hope no one tries to do a pressurized fermentation after only watching this video. He never mentions the need for a spunding valve.
12:35 watch from here then watch the second video
