@tortap Ай бұрын

I like this ferment and dry hopping schedule. I started doing something very similar after hearing Vinnie Cilurzo talking about dry hopping a small amount early. Enzymes in the hop matter trigger some conversion of sugars that can then be fermented causing hop creep. By triggering this early the fermentation can clean that up, then you soft crash. Then comes the big dry hop charge, and I have had good results doing that with hop bong over 2 consecutive days and rousing with CO2. So basically 50 grams day 2-3 then 7 days ferment and soft crash, dump cone, dry hop 150 grams and rouse, dry hop 150 grams and rouse leave 48 hours then cold crash. Preassure transfer to keg and that sucker will not go stale for months. Get a Fermzilla if stainless preassure fermenters are too expensive. Keep oxygen out at all cost. Single best advice I can give.

The tip about ascorbic acid in O2 sensitive brews is very interesting. That's the first I've heard of it in home brew. Thanks for the pointer, I have limited ability for closed transfer, but I love brewing a hop bomb from time to time. They generally start out good, but end up stale before the keg runs out. Maybe this could help.

@dyyddson Ай бұрын

genus brewing on yt is the biggest advocate for ascorbic acid. if you wanna learn more they have some more info about that and oxidation in general in brewing.

@jtc95 Ай бұрын

0.6g per gallon is the ratio I use, seems to work pretty well. I wouldn’t trust it to completely eliminate the need for closed transfers unfortunately. Of course I haven’t done any experiments but it’s cheap and doesn’t hurt to add imo

@TheApartmentBrewer Ай бұрын

I learned it from Genus, there is a lot of content they have on it, but it does provide some nice cheap insurance. Adding it to the mash helps reduce reactive oxygen species (basically metals such as magnesium that are high in flaked grains, and are accelerants for oxidation later). Adding it with dry hops can help scrub oxygen in the fermenter and keg.

@FrankGenoBruno Ай бұрын

Would you doing a hop co2 extract experiment? I recently made a cold ipa with 25% corn flakes in the mash and 20g of Spectrum extract for my dry hop in the keg. Wow what a difference from previous versions with tradition pellets. I would be curious if others are having a great experience with Spectrum.

I should try playing around with that! Many pros will use it for getting that extra level of intensity. In this case I didn't because I was scaling down from a pro recipe for the previous video, and he didn't use any extracts.

Certainly an alternative method to ascorbic acid, but can be bad for people sensitive to sulfites and can increase sulfur odors in the final beer.

I think as a home brewer targeting yellow is a good way to know for certain you don’t have oxidation. I would replace the crystal with carapils.

@michaelepstein7172 Ай бұрын

@@FrankGenoBruno rousing, as I understand, is the process of blowing co2(usually through the racking arm) into the fermenter after adding the dry hops. The idea is to break up any clumps of hops and evenly distribute the hop matter throughout the beer. I’ve heard tale of homebrewers doing this by keg hopping and just shaking the keg as well. Scott Janish discusses it in his book and my understanding is that it’s been pretty widely adopted at pro breweries. I’ve done something similar blowing co2 through a straight dip tube in a keg and it’s worked well.

@TheApartmentBrewer Ай бұрын

I didn't rouse them at all because I was following the same process as the full scale batch at Twisted Fate. I don't know how many people are doing that, I know for a fact Tree House doesn't either.

I'm definitely going to brew a version of this. I've recently switched to a no-chill method using a pressurised 6 gallon keg fermenter, I will be able to use sous vide magnets and some mesh bags to hold the dry hop additions, my question would be if I'm doing a no-chill brew, what should I do regarding the whirlpool additions? I'm conscious about putting wort that's cooled too much to sterilise the interior of the fermenter, if this is an issue? No issue to run star san around the keg before packaging really, but if it's something i don't need to do, I'd rather avoid it.

@TheApartmentBrewer Ай бұрын

If you're doing no-chill, just dial back a bit on the whirlpool and you should be alright. The temperature of the wort drops pretty rapidly at first, and you are technically above pasteurization temperatures until below 150 or so.

Some things to think about when going down the Dry-Hops route: "Due to the fact that no volatile oils are boiled off, the benefit to dry hopping is that the brewer can get as much flavor and aroma possible into the final beer. This can give your beer a floral hop essence and an intense flavor that is desirable in hoppy beer styles like pale ales and IPAs." "What dry hopping does not add to the beer is bitterness. Boiling is necessary to convert the alpha acids in the hops to iso-alpha acids to create bitterness." "The only other drawback to dry hopping is that some beer drinkers just don’t like the effect. They think it makes the beer taste “grassy” or “oily.” This method definitely gives a different kind of flavor and aroma than the traditional method of adding hops to the boil" Some brewers are also concerned about the hops introducing bacteria and other bio-contaminants when added post boil as they are not heat sanitised (rarely causes an issue with the final quality of the beer imo)

@TheApartmentBrewer Ай бұрын

@ulissessanchez6832 Ай бұрын

No need for Asorbic acid if your mash hopping. Also dry hopping during active fermentation will reduce the haze. You’ll also blow off all the aromatics and flavor.

How does mash hopping reduce the risk of oxidation? I'm not familiar with that one. Same for the claim that early dry hopping reduces haze, can you explain? Haven't had problems with CO2 stripping out hop compounds, but I also closed up the fermenter after the first dry hop, as explained in the video.

@ulissessanchez6832 Ай бұрын

Scott Janish talk about mash hopping in the new ipa book chapter 14. The hop polyphenols in the mash will bind to metals such as copper, manganese, and iron which can cause oxidation. I may be missing more information but this is what I remember. And to answer the haze stability question, their is plenty of great articles from Laura burns out of omega yeast labs that support timing of dry hop affecting haze. Dry hopping during active fermentation will actually promote less haze. Very active yeast in suspension will bind with hop polyphenols and drop them out of solution. For a murky milky haze it’s best to dry hop tail and of fermentation or post fermentation. I harvest yeast so I dry hop post fermentation. Also different hops are going to contribute to a different level of haze.

Just as a note and general discussion I want to point out, that seemingly at least some breweries do not think of DDH as dry-hopping twice, but simply use the term to convey the amount used in the dry hop (source: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNV6qNtjv6qplH0.htmlsi=K5FG-qRmThY5NNOl). I've mainly given thoughts to this as a homebrewer as to eliminate oxygen ingress on low-tech systems, e.g. a plastic bucket. Taking to note the Tree House Style recipe and the advice given in those videos, I think for homebrewers seeking extra hoppiness or DDHness, simply upping the amount of hops you're willing to spend on a single dry hop charge is going to give you a lot.

@TheApartmentBrewer Ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing! There is a point of diminishing returns on dry hop amounts though, and if you continue to just dump hops in, you can get some pretty rough hop burn.

@pukbobo1423 Ай бұрын

@@TheApartmentBrewer Absolutely, the hop burn is definitely a thing to keep in mind too. It's not a particularly pleasant sensation. In this recipe you're at 14 g/L (9.5 oz per gallon), and that is just slightly less than the 15 g/L of the Tree House recipe. I think the 15 g/L hits just a bit below around the 4 lbs/barrel mark, and at those amounts it seems that breweries don't shy away from using the DDH term, whether or not they add them in multiple batches. I know some go way beyond this too, and while diminishing returns are still returns, at some point you have to question the overall effect and efficiency. A lot is left behind in the spent dry-hops and you do have quite a but of wort loss due to soggy hop matter, which is why hop extractions are such thrilling and tantalising products.

Is there a reason why only .25oz of Saaz in the mash? Would a full ounce bring too many thiols to the party?

@TheApartmentBrewer Ай бұрын

My real reason is thats what happened when I scaled down from the 7 bbl recipe. I think you could go higher for sure, but I'm not sure if that brings a risk of increased bitterness

I stopped adding ascorbic acid to the mash because it strips the copper oxide off of my immersion chiller. I know this because any time I use ascorbic acid the copper coil comes out of the beer looking bright and shiny. I remember from "How to Brew" they say that this is a bad sign that you are extracting copper oxides into your beer.

Not sure of the science behind that reaction, but yes if that is happening to you I would recommend not continuing it. Adding it with dry hops should get the same effect

I think the difference in opacity is from whirlfloc

Very well could be. It makes that transfer to fermenter through chiller so much easier though, and didn't drop the haze.

Hi. I am glad it worked out for you. But if i crash to 15 c or lower on day 8 and dont let the temp rise after the 2nd dryhop for a full diacetyl rest... With that amount of hops... Omg. 100% i produce a diacetyl bomb, no matter which yeast, kveik excluded. Maybe i am just paranoid... Cool vid anyways

You should have called it "New England IPA" with a line through England, and "Zealand" written in biro

Saaz hop's can be swapped out with Riwaka. Riwaka is Saaz hop's on steroids with more flavour 5 to 6AA. Was fresh Riwaka season just gone 👌.

Riwaka is such a great hop!

love the video as always. not transfering off the first round of hops, will that wreck the beer? with my set up I really don't have an easy way to dump (actually can't dump) or transfer. second I assume the grist is from Northern?

@Aleph_Null_Audio Ай бұрын

I also use a system that would make it difficult to transfer from. I've had good success just using the desired exposure time and adding the dry hops charge that many days before packaging. That works for any dry hopping that happens after active fermentation.

It wouldn't wreck the beer, but it could lead to excess grassy flavors
