Your dad is the best

Your dad is awesome! It’s so cool that he also homebrews

I’ve found that New Zealand hops, and Nelson Sauvin in particular, have excellent foam positive qualities. PS - I would love to see you and your old man collab on designing a recipe and shoot the brew day together!

Great to see your dad!!! I'm glad to see a quick build!

How do you not have 200k subs?? Great content my friend. The confidence has gotten much better. Editing, even better. Cheers

It's a joy listening too you guys each time your dad appears. Cheers.

Ahhh yeah!!!! Awesome glass!! The thrift store is where it’s at, cheers 🍻

Lallemand Nottingham is a great option as well. It’s a fantastic yeast for this type of thing as well and can ferment into the 70’s as well

I'm really impressed by your dad's German. I'm just planning my first NZ pilsner. Thanks for the video

more videos with your Dad!!!

It was great to see your Dad! Maybe someday you can do a tasting and review video of one of his beers. Cheers!

Your Dad is very fun! Nice to see the person who (presumably) got you into the hobby!

SCHMECKT GUT, JA MEIN SOHN! No wonder you became a beer enthusiast with such a good upbringing.

Your banter with your dad is top tier wholesome. Definitely love seeing it - even the hokey german-ness

If doing a decoctionmash i would recommend starting brewing in the evening and then after the decoctions have brought the temp up do a overnight mash and finish the brewday next day.

Sounds delicious! Riwaka may be my favorite hop. We brewed an all Riwaka NZ lager in early summer this year that turned out great. It’s a very distinctive hop to me with passion fruit and an almost black pepper/herbal note coming through that I really love. Great to see your Dad make an appearance as well. Cheers!

Great brew and best part of the show was having your father there. Dope!

this is the first homebrew video ive ever watched and man, i think im hooked already.

This was enjoyable to watch. The outtakes at the end were quite entertaining. Come for the beer, stay for the father/son shenanigans LOL

I just canned one of these I brewed with Taiheke, Motueka and Nelson. One of my new favorite beers to brew. So good

Haha having Papa Steve on was Great!!

Love the final scenes of this cideo

Dude, give your dad a hug for us! He's awesome. Great episode.

Please can we have more of your dad, he is epic! Made my day!

"Decoction"😅😅 I got a handle on that, found some tricks🤫.. I love it. It adds so much depth. Depth of color & flavor complexity. As a matter of fact, my Summit American wheat is going to get a double decotion. Using light Pilsen & white wheat. Hopefully it'll bring GOOD things to the surface😉

So cool love ya old man. Good memories!

Need to get some of his hops to do a brew! Love your Dad!

Great looking Brew.......I also love the lacing look on the glass....Nice to see your Dad enjoying the Beer .....

Gorgeous content as usual. Keep on going pal!

Haha “who brings this guy”😂. This is great

Love it, get your dad on as much as you can.

Try a large Instapot Pro with a large Bain Marie vessel on a trivet (double boiler in pressure vessel) for your decoction mashes. Programmable and no stirring.... I think it's a River City Brewing article on the subject that explained the steps, levels, and why, so perfectly. Anyway, you can do it all in your immediate brew area with no stirring and no running up and down stairs from your kitchen. Yet, still produces those subtle flavors that make most German Beer such a tasty level above our normal level of acceptance. Cheers and great video as usual. Thanks

I love the honest critique!

I was concerned about the single packet of yeast. Looks like you handled that in a good way. Good video Steve. The old boy is enjoyable!

My wife absolutely loved the Margarita Lime Gose recipe from your previous video! I copied it and it is one of her favorites now!

Nice video! Please brew a competition lager or explain what would be different to this one?

Gladfield are the leading malt in nz. You will see bags of their malt in every nz craft brewery down here.

You gotta post a brew day with your dad!

Great video. NZ Hops for pops, love it! 🍻

Awesome content!! That’s a Weißbier glass btw.

Lovely Video 👌👌👍😊 From Next Week i ll going to Brew my 1st Pilsner BIAB Trying Switch Wine brewing to Beer .. wish me Luck 😊

Love these beers 🍻. I like to do mine with half pils half two row. It’s really a nice base that is apparently pretty popular in the southern hemi.

I live in New Zealand and yes our hops are amazing, but I do enjoy American hops also especially centennial g

Riwaka works well for bittering as well, I like using it up front and aroma in a Pilsner with other hops.

Great video! Dad is the best.

The problem with spring water, even in the US is that there isn't a standard water profile associated with "spring water." The mineral content of spring water can vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer, as well as region to region across the states. Unless you're able to obtain a mineral report from the specific manufacturer and know where they sourced their water from, you'll never know the mineral content of that spring water.

Nice show, probably a quite good beer. Just a note regarding the glass: This is a typical german Weissbier glass (Wheat beer), not a Pilsner glass at all.

My favorite NZ hop by far is Rakau, you should check it out. Fruity, mostly peach and passionfruit I find.

great choice Nz pilsner ..really good yeast always had great results with it 👍

Just pressure fermented a hazy with two packets of NECTAR from cellar science- had the same FG! Mash temp at 154 as well, used all flaked oats though. I wonder if increasing the mash temp to something higher would increase the FG.

Make a bohemian pilsner with lutra kveik, adjusting the ph

Looks and sounds amazing! I can't wait to try this and will make sure to pitch 2 packs of yeast.

I reccomend a drip irrigation system for the hops. Mine produced so many. I have gallons of hops stuffed into bags. I need to make a bunch of IPAs i guess.

Schmeckt gut mein Sohn 👌🏼😋🍻

You are clearly holding a German "Weizen" glas in our hand.

Maybe your Dad could share his Belgian Golden Ale recipe ? Do you get NZ Gladfield malts in the US, quite good quality

What are your three favourite dry yeast strains? But on the ale side?

very interesting method of doing a Pilsner with the hotter temperature and it not being under pressure. Did you cold crash at all for this? Did you use any clarity agents? Looks Tasty

NICE!!!!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻🍺🍺🍺🍺

Great to see dad in a video again!🍻 to him he's awesome. I see a lot of videos on youtube where brewers pitch a single packet of lager yeast into a beer and I wonder if I'm paranoid about pitch rate. I always pitch 2 packets of 34/70 when fermenting warmer under pressure and 3 packets if fermenting at 50-52. Pitch calculators seem to indicate 2-3 packets depending on OG of beer and age of yeast. Am I over pitching?

Hey Steve love the content as always. I have a question. I want to brew this on Monday Aug 19th. Do you think that it's possible to get it fermented and in the keg by Saturday Aug 24th? If so what approach do you suggest? 34/70 under pressure in the mid to low 20's(C)? Novalager under pressure (or not) in the mid to low 20"s(C)? I'm in a rush as I'm going on vacation Sunday Aug 25th . Thanks! Oh yes and I can't forget to mention love seeing your dad again lol. Super cool!

You rule, your dad rules, your videos rule, your beer rules

I’m thirsty now. Sounds very delicious and crushable. Have you ever brewed a west coast pils?

Looks really good! I have a Schwarzbier that’s going at almost Lutra speeds under pressure at 68 with 34/70. Did you fine this beer or is it just really that clear?

Will have to try. Have a slurry of 3470/Novalager when I made a dunkel last month Any coldside finings.

Gladfields German Pilsner Malt would work if you can get it

A 0min addition will not give you 0ibu. Depending on how long you steep it afterwards you normally get around half to a third of the bitterness of a regular boil hop addition

Are you opening that beer up to all the O2 to add your hops late into fermentation?

ypu don't get the Sulphur with Novalager.

Looks great 🤘 Do you've any rough guide or reference for force carbing to a particular c02 volume when not going low and slow? Any guesstimates on what 50psi overnight (at what temp?) equates to in volumes?

Did you use finings at all with this beer?

Question about converting the recipe to both metric and Grainfather setup. When I add the recipe the app predicts I get 50.9IBU, so if I do a 30min boil I get 40.9IBU. So question is what would be best practice, aim for equal IBU and then adjust either hops or boil time to get same, or just run your recipe as is on my system?

Hello , thanks for the video . What pressure do you recommend if i do pressure fermentation with this recipe? Thanks

If I can't find riwaka, would replacing with Nelson Sauvin work fine? Or any other suggestion to replace riwaka?

Any tips on combating the lutra ph drop?

Having a tough time getting my clawhammer 10.5 to have a 'rolling boil'....how do you get yours to do a gentle boil/simmer? Mine is either super aggressive or element turns off/then back on. Great looking beer, long time watcher-first time commenter. lol

I will be fermenting this under pressure, do I set the same temp you used for fermentation?

What!!!! No gladfields there?

Its not a Pilsener Glass, its a Hefeweizen Glass. It works with pilsener as its thin walled and gives your nose some room but traditionally you would put a hefeweizen in there. Hofbräuhaus doesnt even brew pilsener

If you pitched 2 packs of yeast would it have reduced the sulphur experience?

OK, I'll bite, Who's your Dad?

What and how much nutrient do you use?

Ich wusste nicht, du bist deuscher Herkunft

Your Dad definitely needs to wear monocle next time.

All talk

Nice glas, however, it's a Weißbier glas. 😉HB doesn't produce Pilsner beer. Here in Germany, Pilsner is not that popular in the southern part of Germany (where HB is located). As a general rule (there are exceptions of course), the more to the north you get, the more popular Pilsner becomes. The more to the south, the more popular Weißbier and Helles become as the main beer styles.

You have not brewed a Pilsner, just another beer.
