Japanese Rice Lager Homebrew Recipe

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- In this brewing video, we're making a Japanese Rice Lager that is similar to a beer like Asahi and Sapporo. We're brewing this beer outside today in our backyard during a nice summer day, so we start this video off with a "cribs tour" of our backyard. Then, we get right into milling and cooking our rice, which is the essential ingredient in this beer style. We show you the right way to cook rice so you can get the right efficiency from it when you follow this homebrew recipe yourself. The only hops we use in this beer are Sorachi Ace which is the same hop variety that's used in Sapporo beer. These hops have high alpha acids and they gave our beer a nice lemon flavor and aroma. In the middle of the video, there's a funny fight scene that is reminiscent of old kung fu movies and the Street Fighter video game. This homebrew recipe made an excellent Japanese Rice Lager with a low ABV and a light, crisp, and smooth flavor. This is a beer we may keep on tap all the time now in the Clawhammer office. We recommend you brew this beer and take it to a dinner party so you can pair it with sushi, shellfish, pork, and spicy Asian Dishes. Check out the resources below for a full recipe, brewing equipment, and an article about how rice lagers are becoming more popular in America.

Every time I'm in a brew rut, I watch one of your videos and I instantly have the drive to brew again. Glad to see you guys back.
Same!
"Tommy, Ross and Emmett are out so we're going to need you to be in a video today. How stoned are you right now?"
Tommy: "Yes"
Made this beer and I really liked it... at first. It was clean, crisp, and maybe slightly lemony. Fast forward a few weeks after bottle conditioning was finished and the sorachi ace hop flavor really developed. It took on a flavor similar to dill. Can't say I'll be using sorachi ace ever again! Nevertheless, great video - very entertaining!
How baked are these guys in this video?
Couple nose beers
Yes
5/7
I came here to say this too
@flytyme6667 not how I'd act on the nose beers 😂 they're stoned as bro
When you're on an important business call and you see your spouse outside doing this: 5:02
Yes! Great to see you guys back. Been missing your videos.
This is the only brewing video i have ever watched twice purely for the entertainment value! Nice work folks... Love all your vids. maybe one day, when I get my stimulus cheese, I can afford a fancy brew system. Cheers!
"Let's mill the rice, it'll be fun" - the entire discussion about how to start the brew day, I assume
That fight scene was so in tense I dropped my whole god damn phone
I'm gonna make this for when I'm working on my Hondas
Great video from start to finish! Tommy and Kyle killing it! 🍻
Hi guys, I enjoyed this video very much, I would just recommend rehydrate the yeasts first in water and then put a few drops of wort into it. Then you can pour it into the whole wort. I don't say that it doesn't work the way you did it , but most of the yeasts could have died after sugar stress. Dried yeasts are dehydrated and they need clear water first to build the cells and then little bit of sugar so they can regenerate.
This is how I make beers. I say “f it” at least 10x.
same, more of an art than a science :D
the american beef is in the house in broad daylight, wearing glasses and the lights on
I never found your OG and FG specs here or on the blog post. I’ve got about 1.040 to start, and pitching Lutra kveik. Fingers crossed.
Lutra is my plan as well, going to brew it this weekend
@@kevin-pk6hd I think I ended up with a lot of unfermentable sugars from the rice. It ended up really sweet, despite reaching 1.009
"Liked" it before the intro even finished. Classic :)
Thanks 👍👍👍
Sweet! I'll add it to the list of future brews
y'all need to revisit this style. there is not much content on yt about this style.
The one guy looks like Dennis Reynolds had a romantic relationship with Chris Cuomo
I was thinking Dennis Reynolds the whole time. So happy someone posted it
I brewed this beer.. it’s very nice but one comment would be to increase the amount of hops and make it a little more bitter!
Love every single one of these videos!
This video makes me want to brew again, thanks guys!
@5:00 - too effing funny. You guys rock. "FIGHT!!!"
Best brewing video ever
No coke or weed was harmed in the making of this video
Where have you been?!!:)
Totally cheering me up again Clawhammer :)
Sounds like a great recipe.
What has everyone been getting for OG and FG.
My FG was 1.049.
I used a robobrew and sparged but not sure I get that nany extra points.
I’m Actually excited to this recipe out this weekend
Awesome, creative video. So fun to watch!!
Good to see you guys again. I just made my first lagers ever this year, bohemian pils and a Vienna lager. Delicious!! I may try this one, all the Budweiser drinkers in my family should like it
Big fan of Sapporo. Bigger fan of just going down the road to the gas station to get a few.
But giving brewing my own a shot someday could be interesting..
Dave Chappelle reference had me rolling
Will definitely look at brewing this. Now, having said that, please consider publishing either the AA of the hops, or better yet, the IBUs. Simply listing the amount of hops used can be deceiving to some and could actually ruin an otherwise good recipe. Food for thought. Cheers.
I mean, they showed the package of hops that clearly says 12.9% AA...
Good point! We will start adding that.
Liked this!
Dude! I missed you guys!! Good to see you all again. 🤙😊
Such a cool and simple recipe! Did you guys get gravity readings? I don't see it them in the video, comments, or recipe page. Cheers!
Not sure if we logged them for this one. Sorry!
Not sure of we logged them for this one. Sorry!
Where do u get your pilsner malt, and acid malt? Or can you recommend which ones to use for this recipe?
I missed you guys. Good to see Tommy back!
Brewing while blazed.
Oh hell yeah, welcome back boys!
Nice big lager fan. Really enjoyed the video. You just inspired me to make an American light lager with cooked rice rather than the flaked rice.
Hey what was the OG and FG on this samurai lager?
Finally a new video yess
I had a Fiestbier with 3470 and it was amazing. My question is, is the rice to help break down proteins or gulcose from the grains? I've heard of rice hulls used in Wit beers because of thick mashes.
In this case the rice is being used as a grain in the wort to get sugars from, it is a large part of the grain bill. You are correct about rice hulls (not rice ), are used to prevent stuck mash.
Oh!
This isn't Japanese Rice !? :< but Thai Rice! :)
We missed your videos guys!
Do you have to rack this off the yeast cake before you lager it?
Hi brewerfriends,
I want to brew this next weekend just in time to drink it on my 30th birthday!
How is the lagering and conditoning when using bottles?
All help and tips appreciated!
Great work, I need to brew this beer now.
Dubs over subs? Detective Joe Furuya of the anime crimes division is going to hear about this!
Nice beer! Sounds cripsy and delicious.
Yes a new vid, also congrats on the new place!
This is amaze balls
Yessssssss this is what I need
these dudes are so stoned haha
Yoooo best vid yet hahah
Dennis Reynolds has brewery
Anyone else annoyed that his ichiban headband was on upside down?
Is Budweiser also a rice beer? Anyhow, nice vid and please help us get better beer here in Japan!
I didn't see you post OG and FG, but I added ingredients into calculator and it's estimation was that it should be at least 5% ABV (saflager 34/70 has high attenuation). I wonder if boiling the rice makes its sugars into unfermentable, as it would do with malts.
Good question about the boiling part. Looks like the other commenters that repeated this had a lot of unfermentables with FG about 1.020. I'm not sure if simply not boiling the rice would be enough, but I'd love to see someone try. I suspect that to make the rice starches fully fermentable requires either Japanese koji mold or amylase enzymes. Their beer was essentially a rice flavored ultralight lager.
Hey! Yes, actually in my brewer formation course, I was told to “Gelatinize” the Rice with some Crushed malt (up to 20%) at around 68° to 77° Celsius, for at least 20 minutes, in order to complete saccharification, and then to bring to Boil for another 20 minutes, and then you have enough starch in your rice to send to mash with your malts; Sorry for my English 😅
Welcome back!
God I missed you all!! Fantastic content as always! o7
what kind of rice do you recommend?
Finally back
Do you suggest adding gelatin for this recipe?
hell yeah gotta brew this
Ahh I missed these
This lad gettin paid to make grog with his crossfit mates while theyre bombed as fuck lol
Omg?! The mock voiceover!
About time
Hilarious and useful
How did you make the beer so clear?
Add a fining agent and then let it sit at cold temps for a while.
Interesting that you leave the lid on when you boil??? I was always taught to take the lid off to release dimethyl sulfide (DMS)
They claim that the little gap between the hop spider and the lid it’s enough to evaporate DMS
As Batman says... “where’s Rachael?!”
Did you rinse the rice before you boiled it?
Isn't 158 fahrenheit way to hot to mash a lager? Won't you end up with a very sweet beer?
do you have to crush the rice?? please thanks
There was a lot of unused rice in the spent grains. You should have boiled the rice in much more water until you got a sloppy rice soup.
Do you not need to use rice hulls in your mash when you BIAB like this?
can i get tracks ID used in video?
One question , why 2 packs of yeast?
Lagers require a higher yeast count than ales, you can do a bigger starter with 1 yeast pack, or just add 2 yeast packs
i made a 10gal german lager and used 2 packs of yeast w/ a 2 step 3L starter. you need tons of yeast cells for a lager because of the cold storage
It would be rad if you guys could post the carb rate you guys run on the beers. Its not necessary haha I am sure most of us just run around 10 psi, but sometimes its nice to confirm what you guys do, you know... for science.
bien pachecos los batos,
Do you guys not have your shop anymore?
Ahhhh new video! It’s been too long
Two drunk guys make beer.
no sparging?
I thought you were going to use rice malt
What were your OG and FG? Mine were 1044 to 1020
I came here looking for answers, I had the same problem. Fermentation seems to have stalled/finished at 1.019. OG was 1.045. How’d the beer end up tasting for you?
Like this direction
@@metromusic5725 They never focused on crisp directions and amounts. Some recipes did include most of them but I always found the videos as entertainment
They have been smoking some good shit.
5:29 I thought you said “world fuck tablets”
I made a Japanese lager with sorachi ace about a year or so ago but couldn’t stand the taste of the sorachi ace. Came through as dill like or pickle water....still drank it all because waste...
So you made a Budweiser lol
got news for you, white rice has already been milled to the point where the starches are exposed. no need to crack it
Спасибо за рецепт
High guys
How condescending would you feel making a video for a Scotch Ale while wearing pleated, plaid kilts and blowing on bag pipes. I thought so!
