We started chasing the white claw clone after your first seltzer video. Thanks to quarantine we had a few months to dial it in. We found that it turns out better if you shoot for a high ABV(15-20%) with 10-18lbs of sugar per 5 gal with the turbo yeast. Then cut your mash with distilled/reverse osmosis water back to 5% ABV. this cuts alot of the over sweetness you get. Also use chitosan and kieselsol to clear your mash is done fermenting(before cutting with water). Comes out crystal clear

From what I understand the turbo yeast is just a gross overpitch of yeast and nutrients so there are many more active yeast cells than would be in a normal fermentation. They are meant for producing alcohol for distillation, so don't produce the cleanest tasting product but can have high yields for distillers. Glad you showed me that proper seltzer, gonna have to pick some of that up. I have been trying to avoid DAP cause I am brewing higher abv ciders and I don't want to risk it. I am currently using Voss Kveik, I will have to check out Lutra too!

Tip from our distilling friends on pH crashes in a sugar-based ferments: slip in a hop bag w/ a cup of oyster shells (5 lb bag is ~$5 @ your local Tractor Supply or feed store). It'll keep the pH between 4-5, and the yeasties will be happy. No off flavors created, but I still soak the bag in Star-San before dropping it in for peace of mind...
@johnhubbard6262 2 жыл бұрын
Interesting, I know how to slowly slip in some Calcium Carbonate to boost the ph, and I know what an ancient bed of oyster shells does for my fruit trees in the back yard, but in the mash, I have to try that.

Question on clarifying (if need be, and I do this round)-all I can get my hands on at the moment for a clarifier is gelatin....all others sold out and I normally make beer, which gelatin rocks at clarifying. I already dosed my cold-crashed seltzer with it this morning...but I'm thinking it's not going to be effective and my understanding was that gelatin works primarily on protein haze, which the seltzer should lack entirely. Any thoughts? I used a dry brand of Kveik yeast and propper nutrient.

Hi All, Doing my first batch of Hard Seltzer and I realized that it's going to come out a bit weak on ABV% my OG is 1.026. The recipe I was trying to follow says OG should be about 1.035. I may not added enough corn sugar or maybe I have added too much water. it's been about a week like this. Is it ok to mix in another 1 lb of corn sugar mid-ferment? or on second thought I add the 1 lb of corn sugar to my corny keg and transfer it as secondary do a closed fermentation and let it naturally carbonate under pressure? (I do have a spunding valve). Should I wait it out and enjoy some weak sauce seltzer and learn from my mistakes?

First, Stay away from turbo. Use lalvin EC1118 Second, invert your sugar with 1/4 Tsp citric acid per gallon, low simmer boil for 20 minutes. Let cool, Add a teaspoon of yeast nutrient and yeast energizer, because sugar washes don't have enough nutrients they will pH crash and you'll get a stuck ferment 4. When done fermenting, add a tsp sparkloid to a bit of water, bring to boil, let cool, add to gallon jug and toss in the fridge. Wait a week. Mine had no flavor from the alcohol or sugar wash, damn near crystal clear, and mates perfectly with good TTB extract. STAY AWAY FROM OLIVE NATION. They are very hit or miss on the flavor and aroma. Blueberry is pretty much cotton candy. Mango is decent

Braj, throw an aquarium heater in the tub and the cheapest powerhead for water movement you can. They even have built in temp controllers or use an inkbird. Gotta get my hands on some Lutra now.

@@HOMEBREW4LIFE lol #FastHomeBrew is this hilarious Aussie that does G2G glass videos (search for him and the thumbs at the end of each video).. So when you gave those thumbs up at 9:33, I thought for sure you were referencing his channel. One of my favorite parts of H4L is how you call out and reference other homebrew videos and channels like TheBruSho and Genus... It gives the homebrew crowd a sense of community on here. Anyway, keep up the good work man, I know how much effort these videos take and you're killing it!

I have mine running around the 85 degree mark in my fermentation chamber and after 2 days it is starting to get e baby turtle fart smell. Am I doing something wrong here? do i need to add more dap or nutrients? It's not a true sulfer smell yet but more like a really tart smell.

either wait it out or purge it off. Getting rid of sulfur is really easy plus the extract taste and smell will over power the turtle fart smell
