Beerlust Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hi Ruddy. Beerlust's I enjoyed your video on a number of levels. The yeast journey' date=' the "resurrection chamber", & just the general flow of the video as it did resemble the mayhem of my extract/mini-mash partial brew days pretty closely. [img']lol[/img] I was a little concerned with the appearance of the starter once you removed it the following day from the cupboard (sorry, resurrection chamber). It should have had a noticeable foam on top to indicate it had begun fermenting the starter wort. It just looked a little lifeless. Before you turfed the Wyeast package did you notice whether the nutrient sachet inside the smack pack had burst or not? Good luck with the brew, & thanks for the recipe mention. Cheers, The very enthusiastic guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The nutrient sachet doesn't absolutely need to be burst in order for the yeast to work, but obviously it helps. I imagine it'd be more difficult to burst it open when the main package is already swelled though. The gladwrap on the starter looked like it was bulging a bit so maybe it did work? I've done the dog biscuit recipe a couple of times, when I was with my ex who had two dogs. The grain from one recipe made an absolute crapload of them. They didn't taste half bad either and of course the dogs loved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 I enjoyed your video on a number of levels. Glad you liked it. The nutrient packet had definitely not burst as I managed to burst it myself ... eventually. Otto - you're spot on in saying it was much harder with the main packet having swelled up. I was probably at it for 10 or 15 minutes trying to get it to pop in various ways, but eventually it went. The yeast seemed to get off to a fairly quick start in the main brew though too, so perhaps that's a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dozer71 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks for the dog treats. My lab loves them - but then he eats anything, including the spent grains straight out of the bag. At least I have the kids cooking up something useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Heh, no worries, but yeah labs eat anything! Just make sure they're really, really, completely dry before you store them. I lost a batch to mould Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozer71 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Still refining it. The first 2 batches were a bit thick (cooked the 2nd longer) and lasted just over a week before spoiling. The last batch, thinned it out more and almost got 2 weeks of which only a few were left. Still refining the process but close to nailing it with our system.

ian.taylor4 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Great videos King Rudd. Very amusing, relaxed yet also informative. Good to see another home brewer turning the kitchen, patio, laundry & lounge room into a makeshift brewery ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm rich! One HUNDRED YouTube dollary-doos coming my way, and all it took was a full day every other weekend for a year making brewing videos. Thanks for watching everyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corksniffer Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hey man, great videos! Ha, I love the style you present them in and your Dog. Just watched your Pale Ale all grain presentation and I'm thinking to myself 'is that it!?' I had in my mind that all grain would be some eight day long process where I have to voyage to strange lands to collect the stuff but hey, this looks easier! Hmmm... might have to think about this. Is all grain really a better beer? Well' date=' be bored no more! I present to you , my new YouTube channel Started off with a nice easy Toucan. I'll keep making these on various topics in a way that is hopefully kind of funny and entertaining instead of the usual tedium that you get.

Beerlust Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi Ruddy. Nice video on the Kolsch. I admit I was a little concerned early on with your Wyeast smack pack preparation time-frame against when you brewed the beer, but then realized due to your "no-chill" method it wouldn't be pitched until the following day. Depending on your own thoughts on the end beer once you've tasted it, from the grist you have used this time & your liking for Munich malt, don't be afraid to throw a good whack of Vienna malt grain into your malt bill next time around, as I'm led to believe its usage in the better representations of the style is more common. Admittedly I've only brewed a handful of this style of beer, but the Pilsner/Vienna malt bill appears to give the right colour & flavour when used with the Wyeast 2565 yeast. Use wheat malt to create head development, & maybe some CaraPils to help hold it when in the glass. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
