Awesome grain-to-glass video on brewing beer! Your comprehensive walkthrough from selecting the grains to the final pour is incredibly helpful for both beginners and experienced brewers alike. I loved how you explained each step with clarity and shared practical insights. The attention to detail in discussing the different grains, mashing techniques, and the fermentation process was top-notch. Your passion for brewing really shines through, and it's contagious! Thanks for sharing your expertise; looking forward to trying out these tips in my next homebrew. Cheers to great content and even better beer!
One of my favorite iPa. SN uses all loose leaf hops. That may be where they get that punch of aroma. May want to whirlpool in some cones at 0 minute . I will load your recipe and give it a shot.
Looks great. Wish I could find SN Celebration in Norway. Perhaps just try making it myself. PS. The original looks a hint darker on the video, but that could be the light and background.
So confused on lower mash temperature causing it to be drier….my club said same thing about my Vienna Lager being a little on the sweet side…. It counter intuitive that MORE sugar makes the final drier. Great overview and tweaking of a recipe!
Warmer mash temps create more unfermentable sugars. This is why higher mash temps produce sweeter, fuller bodied beers. Lower mash temp causes beer to be drier. Look up alpha and beta amylase if you don’t understand this concept. Also warmer mash temperature does not make it more sugar. I think you’re conflating efficiency with conversion
The comment above is correct. Warmer mash temps create unfermentable sugars. Lower mash temperatures create sugars that the yeast can consume and therefore convert into alcohol and not add sweetness to your beer. The high temps will leave those sugars, it will have a full/thicker mouth feel and more malty sweeter flavor because the yeast can't consume those sugars.
I think all of those things had an impact, but I knew I needed to do more than one thing. If I had to guess the biggest impact was the mash temp lowered and the IBUs increased slightly. The yeast would also have some impact, but I think less than the other two
Yes, I've harvested the yeast from Bells before. I wasn't 100% sure about Sierra Nevada... But I think you're right. My next Brew Day video I will be doing that with the bells hazy-hearted IPA. Keep on the lookout for that.
@@CityscapeBrewing Well that sucks. I understand why, but still sucks. I thought you could buy it anywhere Imperial is sold. Good excuse to get the real thing if you have to harvest from some bottles.
