@randallcooper4399 4 жыл бұрын

I don’t think bud or coors could ever be called pils- these are just cheaply produced American approximations of Helles lager. Anything called pils is a hop forward lager. Czech Pils is the original while German pils arrived as an approximation of the Czech original but with Bavarian water and hops. Rothaus Pils is the perfect example of the style if you can find it. It’s a lot closer to Urquell than it is to Weihenstephaner Original.

@aaron5222 4 жыл бұрын

Idk about cheaply produced. Probably some of the most expensive most researched beer in the world. Made with little flavor and adjuncts yes.

@Gonorrheagorgonzola 3 жыл бұрын

If I recall correctly the region of Czechoslovakia where Pils originates from was german at the time it was invented so if it is german or czech just kinda depends on how you look at it. Btw bavaria generally produces pretty poor pilsner they are more keen on their Helles. Pilsner is more prominent in the other parts of germany, especially nothern germany is Pils country.

@dannynysus 3 жыл бұрын

@@distractiontherapy Your statement is misleading. Both the US gallon (3.79 L) and the Imperial gallon (4.55 L) contain 8 pints. A US pint is 473.2 ml, whereas an Imperial pint is 568.3 ml (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pint). Interestingly, the word "pint" is related to "paint" and is supposedly derived from painted markings on a vessel indicating this volume (www.etymonline.com/word/pint)

Do you think this hop filter would be fine enough to help keep hop particles out of a plate chiller? I'm using hop bags right now because I'm using a Steam Slayer and leave the lid on during boil.

@TheHomebrewChallenge 4 жыл бұрын

I suspect probably not. Some particles do get through and I remember my old plate chiller being really sensitive to that.

Love your vids Martin, but the choice of music usually so off, at least I think they dont really match to the home brewing topic. This musics usually have some sort of a sad tone, however the whole point of brewing beer at home is to have fun, and it is fun and yoifull So some musics with a happier tone would migh work better. I hope you get what I mean.

Chip fat screen and a piece of pipe. I bet he didn't pay the $0.50 it would have cost to make that 'hop blocker'. I make most of my own everything, from tools to growing my own food, to making my own furniture, and even machinery (lathes, routers, clocks, musical instruments of varying technology) and all I ever realise is how much we are ripped off even with the garbage China pumps out and drowns the market with. You can make something of vastly superior quality than you can buy for 1-10% of the cheapest Chinese junk version. I encourage all of you to try it!
