This channel needs more love, the production quality is amazing, the 99 beer challenge idea while adding in a little home brewing tip or trick or technology every video is brilliant. Great stuff, this man deserves a lot more views.
I just brewed a belgian session IPA with chinook, cascade, citra and lallemand abbey yeast... it smells tropical, grapefruit, passion fruit... i'm addicted to belgian yeasts, I think they go so well for this kind of IPA!!! next one I'll try like yours with european hops to see if you still get tropical fruits smell!!!
I brewed a beer this summer that was originally intended to be a Belgian Tripel. Unfortunately, the Trappist yeast I used was a dud and wouldn't ferment for anything. I re-pitched with a pack of Ardennes and it basically turned into a Belgian Blond, for all intents and purposes. I called it Vapid Vespers. It was honestly the best "mistake" beer I've ever made, and as I'm sure you're aware, mistake beers can turn out fantastic!
Belgian beers are my favourite too. Never tried a Belgian IPA so should give this a go. Love that La Chouffe yeast. Just about to brew a batch of Dubbel for my Christmas beers. Brewed a Belgian Pale Ale this summer and man that beer is so good. Jamil's recipe came out so well balanced. Can't wait for you to get to the other Belgians.
Dude! As a fan of both y'all and Belgian beers, this was one I was looking forward to! Super pumped to see you give it a go. Please do a simple Saison or Biere de Garde with dry Belle Saison, it's super simple and gives that nice Franco-Belgian flavor. Love the channel, would love to do something similar with my limited resources.
Belgians are one of the few beers I’m picky with. However when I find one I like they are awesome. I have a theory that some of those Belgian strains give off hallucinogens but nobody believes me. Your BIPA looks great 😋 🍺
Absolutely loving the channel and this great idea for a series! I may have binge-watched them all in a very short space of time haha. I just have one question, don't know if it has been addressed, What on earth do you do with all your spent grains?? I have thought about giving mine to a neighbour with chickens!
Really enjoying this series, I admire your commitment! Is there anything you do to try and conserve or re-use water? I think I have it down to 3L of water per 1L beer after cleaning which seems a lot. And that isn't even considering the water used in growing the produce!
Thanks! I try to reuse the water that flows through the plate chiller to sanitize my fermenter I’ve honestly not measured how much I’m using but yeah with all the cleaning etc it’s probably a fair amount.
Ooh nice - I love Belgian beers I was at the Bruges beer festival a couple of years ago and it was amazing. Belgian witbier was my first ever brew. I’ve never heard of this style at all Is the idea to use American style hops here or more of an English IPA style?
Would it help in reducing oxygenation if you added a small length of silicone tubing onto your tap so that you can fill the growler from the bottom up. might not matter if you intend to drink it quickly but 5L of beer might end up tasting a bit stale if you wanted to drink it over a few days maybe.
Hello Martin, Love your videos and was wondering if you would tell me which electric brew system you prefer. I’ve noticed you are still brewing with the Claw Hammer and your experience in brewing with electric is expert level and I would love your input. Thanks so much. Cheers 🍻
Hi Eric. I’ve used three electric systems. Blichmann BrewEasy, BrauSupply Unibrau, and the Clawhammer system. They’re all great systems. I’m very happy to be using my Clawhammer at the moment.
Looks great. I love Belgian yeast character, but for some reason I have trouble reproducing it in my beers. I might give the WY Belgian Ardennes a try.
How much powdered coriander could I add to my 5 gallons boiling batch?? How much grated ginger?? Should I take of the skin of the ginger?? (it is a Belgian IPA I'm talking about)
Oh man, please don't blame smoked beer again. Please do me a big favor and try an "Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen". It will surely change your mind about smoked beer. It's also available in good beverage stores in the USA.
hello from the bottom of Australia, you mentioned the Smoke Beer before, just wondering how many recipe kits Atlantic Brewing Supply sell of that one? 😂
what area of the states is she from? Most of the words sound like american english but there are words here and there, such as her pronounciation of "banana" that sound distinctly brittish. It's not the first time I hear this sort of accent and it's made me curious! sorry if it's completely off topic.
Hey there i have one question since i always use bottles and never tried kegs. Does the beer have to go through secondary fermentation before filling it into the growler or the keg? Or does the secondary fermentation take place in that growler? thanks :)
I guessed it correct.. I am guessing you should have stock of Belgian beer at home.. Otherwise how can you survive one year without having a Belgian beer.. Looking forward to the next video..
You really need to make a Belgian IPA with American hops like Cascade, Chinook, Amarillo, etc. The citrusy, fruity flavors of the hops mix very well with WY 3522 Ardennes yeast. I need to make one now it’s been a long ty.
Just the quick question mate.... How is your wife finding u spending so much money on ur hobby ??? By the time u brew ur 99 beers ur basement will look like a small brewery...
