Thank you for switching to relative quantities! That makes scaling it so much easier. Cheers to another fantastic video and beer!

Everybody should move to %, thanks for making the move

@damiankowalski4731 4 года назад

Showing malt bill ass % is great, dosen't mayter you are using imperial or metric units or you brew 2,5 gallons or 20 liters. It's so universal.

@rpguitar 4 года назад

My home brewery is entirely scaled for 2.5 gallon batches, from the 10L Braumeister to 2.5 gallon kegs. I'm the only drinker in the house so it just makes sense. Expressing grain bills with percentages is the way to go, too. And I like hop alpha acid units (AAU), where you multiply the weight by the AA%, either metric or English, as long as you stay consistent. For example, 1.5 oz. of a 5% AA hop would be 7.5 AAU. Other brewers can divide the AAU by the AA% of their specific hops to come up with weight. Crack on! Cheers

@TheHomebrewChallenge 4 года назад

Oh that’s a handy way to calculate things.

@chriscamarillo8914 4 года назад

I think that percentages of malt and IBU of hopping are much more effective ways of sharing recipes. I can take into consideration my brewhouse efficiency and AA% of the hops I buy. Thanks for the video and info on smaller batch brewing.

@CountDrunkula 4 года назад

Percentages make learning recipe formulation much easier, too. I bought the new version of the Greg Hughes book recently and was so disappointed that there are no percentages. I'm having to go through and scribble them all in. Would be nice if you put the percentages in the recipe in the description, too.

@carlosprite 4 года назад

Thank you! Percentages are where it’s at!

@smitty7592 4 года назад

Use %’s for your grist and IBUs for hops in brewing and you’ll be a better brewer. If you have your efficiency down, all you need is IBUs to complete the recipe. Hops are so variable in AA that adding based on IBU contribution is far better than actual amount. Well done for pointing this out. You should use this going forward.

@TheHomebrewChallenge 4 года назад

Good to hear that BeerSmith will be able to make sense of this.

@mrow7598 4 года назад

I find when I make my own recipes, I have to use: www.madalchemist.com/chart_data.html which shows the standard "BU:GU" and "Relative Bitterness" or bitterness ratio on Beer Smith. This allows me to adjust a beer style so its a little maltier or hoppier than normal. Before I started using those, I'd either get a IPA or a Caramello beer.

@vell0cet517 4 года назад

I've been waiting for your bitters. I love a good bitter and no breweries around me make any that are repeatedly drinkable. The only two around me, one is Cask and is just OK and other other is closer to a barley seltzer from white sugar they add to the mash.

@jcinsaniac 4 года назад

ESBs are one of my favorite beers...As to the 5 gallon problem - I've only started doing 5 gallon batches and for 2 years did 2 -2.5 gallon batches all the time. The biggest issue is storage - using (2) 5 liter mini kegs is a good solution, albeit an expensive one...but I loathe bottling. 2.5 gallon kegs cost the same as 5 gallon ones...just not fair.

@TheHomebrewChallenge 4 года назад

Yeah I’ve noticed that too - half size kegs being the same price as full ones. No fair!

@moose1689 4 года назад

Found myself liking bitters after tasting Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker. Trying to replicate that on my next brew 😋 The recipe is quite close to this one, except using yorkshire ale yeast.

@thebeecher1 4 года назад

I brewed a Best Bitter (4.5%) and I tasted my first bottle 3 weeks after bottling. It was very tasty but did not have any foam at all and it was kind of watery. I carbonated very low (1.7 / used dextrose) and this is probably the reason. How did you carbonate your bitters?

@TheHomebrewChallenge 4 года назад

I force carbonate. Low carbonation is the way to go with this beer style. Hope you’re enjoying the best bitter.

@melloman8210 Год назад

Martin ffs, I’m 100% down for brewing and tasting British beers. Since Fortnight Brewery stopped brewing their 3Lions British Best Bitter, I’ve been looking for a teammate on this. I only every 3 Lions or Pendragon Porter. My family and I miss the spirit of this brewery. Now it’s just “hazy” beers, seltzers, and slushies. Homebrewing is the only way to get to the commercial versions. So sad and disappointed at the basic beers that were abandoned by the OG brewery. I used to buy CASES of beer. Since the switch to popularity, no penny has been spent to progress this company. Slushies……really?!?

@mrmathman 4 года назад

I am afraid you are not quite right in regards to fermentation pushing out oxygen. Gases mix, this is a fact. When fermentation happens and co2 is produced it will mix with the air in the fermenter. As the pressure increases this mixture will start to be expelled through the airlock. As fermentation continues this mixture will become more and more co2 heavy but it is not the case that co2 replaces the air that was already present, it just dilutes it. A good way to think about it is if you have a glass of water and you add some cola to it. The cola and gas will mix and become homogeneous. As you add more and more cola the percentage of cola to water will increase but it will still be homogeneous. As the liquid mixture reaches the brim, liquid will spill out. If you keep pouring cola in through the solution will continue to become more cola than water. We need to move away from anthropomorphising co2! I hear it all the time on brewing podcasts and articles etc :) It does not form a blanket and it does not push anything anywhere. Apologies for the rant!
