Magnaman Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 G'day Your Kingship, it is in keeping with the name and can be built on. The point came across and you can do a more indepth look at hop usage next time, or subsequent videos. Too many people on YouTube ramble on for twenty five minutes and don't get as much across as you have, with all their um's are's and other unessesary verbage and waffle. Cheers.

Otto Von Blotto Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 So which hop variety do you use to get spanner flavour in your beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewBaby1525229183 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hey King, Loving the vids... very easy to follow and interesting to watch I've just got a question about the 'Viking' beer recipe you had. I'm fairly new to brewing so bare with me Do you end up adding yeast at the end of it? Or is it ready to drink at the end of that process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hi Ruddy. I enjoyed watching a couple of the videos from the links you provided placed over on your YouTube channel. Informative, entertaining, clever, & well constructed & edited. I've dabbled in this area myself quite a bit over the last 10-15 years, so appreciate the effort taken to produce the material you are presenting. Oddly enough, I viewed the first couple "muted" as I was listening to some tunes at the time & they were still really good visually in a sort of Charlie Chaplin sort of way! (I did re-watch them with the sound on later!) Externally as mundane as a topic named, "Life as a Bottle" could be outwardly, I thought it was very clever how you presented it. I just wanted to wish you well moving forward with the videos, as I reckon you have a real flair for presentation. Well done, & I'll look forward to your future videos. Lusty.

topcat1525229332 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hey King Ruddager I was walking through IKEA the other day when a perfect bottle drying rack caught my eye and i remembered seing the exact same drying rack in your life as a bottle vid. If I had not seen your video i may have walked past this gem. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazznotwazz Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hey there, the videos are great. Keep them coming. I tried to watch something else the other night, 10 mins in, guy in his kitchen blabbering on.... you know the drill. Love your props. What is the mascot's name?

I'm fairly new to brewing so bare with me Do you end up adding yeast at the end of it? Or is it ready to drink at the end of that process? It still needs to ferment' date=' but at the end of the video it's too hot to put the yeast in so I put it in that big blue thing to cool down for a few days, then pour it into a fermenter and add yeast then. Well done, & I'll look forward to your future videos. Thanks Beerlust. It's no effort from my perspective because it's fun, and the sort of offbeat childish silliness that comes through is just natural for me. I have no shame If I had not seen your video i may have walked past this gem. Hah! Awesome! I'd been meaning to get one of those for ages before I finally did. Hey there' date=' the videos are great.

King Ruddager Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've had another new idea actually: "Home brewer evolution", or something like that I'll just go through what you start with to make your first K&K, and then how you progress from there to kits and bits, extract, mini-mash and all grain showing all the different ingredients and equipment you build up along the way.

LeighB4 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Great idea, i'll be watching with interest. I'm still a kits and bits guy and found the hops video very helpful. Something as simple as explaining the boil times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captsensible23 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 How much water do you use when you steep? And roughly how much was boiling in the urn for the hop boil? Videos are excellent. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 For that small amount of grains it doesn't need to be much - I probably had 3-4L. 12-15L in the urn. Perhaps a "steeping" or "steeping vs. mashing" video would be helpful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Oh, I had another idea, but I'm not sure how popular it'll be. What would you think of "Dog Does K&K Brewing"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captsensible23 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I've read for steeping just go with 10X the weight of the grains. So for 250g it would be 2.5L. If my math is correct. Thanks for the reply. A steeping vs mashing video would be really helpful for people looking to get into partials and or biab Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 That's what I used to do when I was doing kits/extracts and steeping grains. Worked fine. There's not a whole lot of difference between steeping grains and BIAB mashing of grains, except a bigger pot and the temp needing to be kept stable during the mash (or more stable than a steep). Other methods of mashing have some differences though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good guideline, but it's probably also a minimum. Steeping in more than the minimum wouldn't have any bad effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
