lol

just use a refractometer, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AOCKWMU/

That recipe looks awesome. I think I'll try it! Did you use Kent goldings for hops?

Good point. It just sat out in the open in that open plastic fermenter for a day.

Excellent! Good luck with the freezing 🧊

It’s a joy and a relief! Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Hernan’s thumbs take all the credit for getting that bottle open.

Thank you. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Q: How do you fit all of them up on the wall? A: You take one down and pass it around.

Thank you!

Thanks for putting me on to that channel - wasn’t aware of it. I’m looking forward to the IPAs too. Eventually 🤓

@@TheHomebrewChallenge if you pull up the Playlists - All Blogs in order, on number 35 he decides to manufacturer his own boil kettle, hlt, mash tun and fermenters. He then takes us on a 200 day journey and beyond, covering all aspects of creating a professional brewery from the embers of his previous business to dealing with government taxes etc, family and antics along the way. Hope you enjoy. Kind regards :)

You would still have to assume that any entrained liquid is the same abv as the brewed beer which is unlikely. Or you would have to assume all the left over mass is water which is also unlikely.

Thanks. I haven’t yet but it’s on the list of things to try. Very soon actually.

Yeah.

That's my absolute fav! Damn hard to find tho

Go for it! Yes held at -3F for 10 hours. I had 4 gallons of beer in the keg. A full keg might need a little longer.

Yea, I have two 5 gallon kegs in the freezer, going on 12 hours now and not even a little slushy. Hopefully it freezes up soon, only like 4 hours til bed time lol.

So far so good. But enjoying this one in small quantities.

An eisbock doesn't necessarily have to be strong, you can also concentrate a weaker beer to normal strength and call it eisbock

Eisbock refers more to the method than the final ABV. Eis means "ice" in german. So it's really all about the freeze distillation. Eisbock can range from 5% up into the mid teens, it all depends on what kind of ABV you had before you froze it.

@@davemeddlehed564 not only the middle tens but way higher. I drank an ice bock which was at 30 abv, the strongest maxing out just under 60 abv

A larger starter might have been good but I didn’t have any problem with fermentation and got down to the expected FG.

Ha true. It’s a fine beer as is. But when you already have another keg already filled with Dopplebock..

doppelbock

Haha just got lucky randomly finding it at a bottle shop.

German beers are cropping up all over the place here(I don't think I'm anywhere near these guys, but I live in the northeastern US). Schneider Weisse, Weihenstephaner, Pauliner, Ayinger, and Erdinger are all available at my local store, and those are only the hefeweizens.

well... one time I left a bottle of my homebrewed double IPA in the freezer for too long but the liquid resulting from it wasn't as good as an Eisbock.... it was more strong than the initial beer but I felt like it wasn't worth it. Obviously what i did was not under control so i think that better results could be made!

Perhaps even non-alcoholic light beer?

So Basic American beer... Oh no it still taste better and got more alcohol

Yes freeze distillation. Have not heard it used for other beer styles but would sure be interesting to try.

So I've heard a lot of different things about freeze distilling. Some say it's illegal others say it's not. What's your stance on this?

@@willh7690 Freeze distillation is Legal

@John Smith It is not illegal United States of America

😂 Beer brewed with hot stones... interesting.

Ha. Thats disappeared down the sink.

I figured as much but it might be something to try later to see if there are any benefits.

Explain?

@@Crazt look up the rules, regulations, and traditional application for brewing in Germany. This hurts

That's obvious. It was point of reference to those who didn't fully understand the process. Same principle more or less removing water leaving a concentrated beer behind resulting in higher ABV.

He is at 9B, 9C is Baltic Porter which is traditionally lagered BUT can be made with an ale yeast. After that, it is strictly ales. Literally the rest of the beers, from category 10 to 26 are ales.

Yes, finally moving on to ales!

Are they really all exclusively ales from here on out? Hadn’t realized that.

@@TheHomebrewChallenge Yeah I had to check. 10 to 26 are all ales, after that you get into the specialty/historical/alternative beer categories

@@degueloface you last 17 videos are lagers or bocks. running backwards, bock -bock - lager - dunkellager - larger - larger - lager - lager - bock - smoke - lager - pils - -coffee - lager - lager - -lager - bock. its gone way past boring now, you really need to mix it up a bit, or keep with the series but add extra non lager videos intot he stream to break the monotamy up
