Yeast Canada Innovations are working with WHC under license to produce these yeasts here in Canada. Can't wait for them to have home brew size packages out in stores here. Local brewery did a beer using the Mango Madness. Was definitely Mango. To the point that if no one told you, you would think they piled a bunch of mango puree into the the beer.

@WHC_Lab_Paul Месяц назад

Great to hear it. Mango Madness is a staff favourite here!

@CascadesHomebrew Месяц назад

I enjoyed the videos and the journey. I am not a member of the Style Police, but I do have to say that an IPA recipe (or hoppy Pale Ale?) brewed with a Kveik strain is still just an IPA. I do think that clean Kveik strains can work well in these styles where you don't want the sulfur notes from a typical lager fermentation, and there are lots of hop flavors to dominate any minor yeast characters. Cheers! 🍻

@shaunstaples3d44 Месяц назад

I’m usually measuring hops in Bonne Maman jars too ❤

@barrycranston5122 Месяц назад

Might try Biofine Clear, about 20 ml per 20 litre batch, maybe more if very hazy. Works well when combined with cold conditioning IMHO.

@WHC_Lab_Paul Месяц назад

That'll speed things up even more!

@AnalogueInTheUK Месяц назад

I've used it on my last six beers. Combined with a cold crash, it is awesome.

Just tried the WHC Mango Madness Yeast, wow, beer finished fermenting in 2 days at 36°C... Tried it at day 3, no off flavour, nice tropical flavour (Strata/Solero/Sabro in the Whirlpool). Less than a week to make an IPA from mash to keg is crazy. I tried different Kveik but did not like the taste, this yeast is a banger you have to try! Nice video and your IPK looks yummy Cheers!

@richarddeeble09 Месяц назад

There are a few American breweries using Kolsch strains to brew hoppy beers. Unitas used one from memory. I've also heard that certain kolsch type strains produce less vdk associated with hop creep which is obviously a big plus.

@mattrickl06 Месяц назад

My 3 steps to perfect clarity 1. ALDC - 0.5ml per 20l in FV at transfer from kettle 2. Brewers Clarity - 0.5ml per 20l in FV at transfer from kettle 3. Gelatine - in FV post full fermentation and crash cooling to 5 degrees for 24 hours before kegging

@TonyLeach-airguntech Месяц назад

Done the same with Notty yeast at 15psi pressure ferment at 22c. The key is get the yeast going right after you start the boil by cold crashing 1/2L and pitching the yeast to it, keep that ready and drop the brew onto it once you finish the cool. Run it sealed from the get go and let it purge itself thru a prv then airlock. I have pushed it thru friends who actually told me it was as clean as any lager and it was in fact a 5% ale I should brew again using lager malts/hops etc . The strongest beer I have brewed this way just using Notty was 7.2% ipa, no issues at all. Have you tried pressure fermenting ? You should if you haven't with O2 free transfer and serve. To me this yeast is nothing really that special unless you are saying it shows a pressure ferment character without the pressure ferment?

@Mikkogram Месяц назад

You can do a Lager beer with Lager yeast in 7 days. Oettinger is doing that. 15°C with pressure and go up to 17°C with a bit more pressure. No need for Ale yeast to do the same. And Oettinger is the most drank Lager in germany

@WHC_Lab_Paul Месяц назад

Race this yeast against that yeast and let me know how it goes. If the Oettinger yeast wins I'll grow some up and start selling that too!

@TheCraftBeerChannel Месяц назад

Sure - but wheteher you pro or homebrewer you're then having to ferment under pressure and cool a heating ferment. Neither is true lager brewing but to my mind, whatever the scale, one is much more efficient and achievable!

Thanks Jonny, that's made up my mind. I said last week I plan to brew a hop forward British Golden ale and this is the yeast I'm going to go for instead of kveik. As for Nectron, I brewed an APA with nectron being the only hop and wow, fruit, fruit and more fruit, and I didn't notice and issues with aftertaste that you pointed out. I've also learnt something to day as well, dumping the dry hop from a Grainfather Conical, never done that before but will be doing it in the future. Cheers guys

@atacamabrewing 7 дней назад

Brewed this IPK with 81% Pilsner, 7% acidulated, 7% Munich and 5% Cara pils (there are no precise quantities on the Malt Miller website). Fermented at 32C in 2 days, cold crashed and canned. Mine looks much more pale than yours but it’s an absolute banger! More like a hazy pale ale in my opinion but super flavorful and super drinkable at 5.5% ABV. This will become a regular i suspect.

@pac4life88 Месяц назад

Thank you for addressing your struggles (I won't call it failures) while homebrewing. Brewing is not the job you do everyday and so many of us homebrewers can relate to the not perfect brew days or batches. Too much perfection shown in many homebrew RU-vid videos and podcasts and reality and all of us learning togther is very refreshing.

Whats your bottling equipment? Beer looked amazing in glass but may have picked up oxidation in the bottling process by the looks, co2 purge is really important

@TheCraftBeerChannel Месяц назад

Bottling process needs work for sure but Alex said the beer wasn't as oxidised as it looks. The bottle was purged well, but I need to refine the process

@pac4life88 Месяц назад

So excited to brew this weekend after this set of videos! Thank you! You said in the premiere comments, it became "maybe a bit more crisp and clean" as it settles. Now looking back, was there a sweet spot with "lagering" time? I imagine there is a careful balance with bringing out the pilsner characters you want but not losing the hop aromas and flavors over time. Cheers!

@TheCraftBeerChannel Месяц назад

I'd suggest 7-10 days lagering in the fermenter, then transfer for a purged keg and drink when you're happiest! If kept cold that hop aroma is going to stick around for a fortnight or so easy.

Longer boil of pilsner malt or simulate yeast lag time by delaying pitching a day might make it clear

@Sleeeeepy_D Месяц назад

Great video! Im all for innovation and new beer styles but isn’t this just a New Zealand Pilsner? Recipe seems pretty spot on. Gordon Strong said he would have called the style a “Tropical Kolsch” if the New Zealand Pilsner name hadn’t been well established because that’s how those beers really present themselves

it must be a kveikspiracy!

@TheCraftBeerChannel Месяц назад

No big reason - we just thought it might confuse those who don't know what Kveik is, and given that this particular strain's capabilities are wider than most other Kveik strains we didn't think that it was necessarily helpful. It is a Kveik strain though, isolated from a mixed culture a lot of homebrewers use.

@blastard8980 Месяц назад

First time commenting here (as far as I can remember), but I got to say, we've been to Germany recently and tried the famous kolsch from köln, several different brewers. All of them, god awful, terrible texture, bitter taste and vanished in the ether after drinking it. The difference between the different beers was almost nonexistent. Big, big let down, I was expecting great things, but we have better macro brewers in Spain. Speaking of which, try Ambar and Estrella Galicia, my top 2 hands down. Cheers!

@WHC_Lab_Paul Месяц назад

Interesting. Perhaps you just don't like Kolsch? All the more reson to give High Voltage a go

@jasuindiloan Месяц назад

I've had bad Kölsh in Cologne before as well... however most of them were great and if you tried different ones it just seems like it's not your thing? That said, I find Ambar and Galicia terrible beers, so it's all personal flavour, right?
