Your description of the flavor is spot on for lutra as a pseudo lager. I got a small amount of citrus and very very slight tartiness too. It gets it close to a true lager but I notice the difference immediately. Still makes an excellent beer if you aren’t thinking “lager” like you said.

@TheApartmentBrewer Жыл бұрын

Yup, it is a solid substitue, but not a true 1-to-1 unless you adjust for pH more deliberately.

@veigaveio Жыл бұрын

I got the exact same citrus and tartness. I submited a sample for a friend as a munich helles and he made a bjcp like sheet. He got this very slight citrusy in the aroma but the taste was very clean. Score 31. Not bad for a lazy beer.

@BohumirZamecnik 10 ай бұрын

Maybe it has to do with the temperature. I brewed a few batches of Bohemian pseudo-lager with Lutra. Around 30°C without control it was like lime, a bit tart and astringent. At 21°C stable it was clean and very pleasant. At 23°C with temp control it was a tiny bit fruity, but not tart. It'd like to try also higher 20's range and pressure fermentation to get a cleaner taste.

Great video. Really enjoyed it and I continue to learn. I just recently did a similar experiment brewing 2 Kolsch recipes from Northern Brewer. For one, I used the recommended Lallamand Kolsch dry yeast (2psi pressure at 65 degrees) and the other, Lutra Kveik (12 psi fermented at 80 degrees. I just kegged the beer and had to leave town for work but after 1.5 weeks of fermentation and 2 days cold in the kegs, I did try them. The traditional yeast tasted better and the Lutra was more crisp with a lemon flavor. Both great beers for how young they are and I know they will both improve. Both good, but different, like you said. Congratulations on your Promotion! Thank you for your service!

This is a great video, loved the side by side comparison. I have brewed with Lutra quite a bit and I have noticed the tartness and citrus flavors go away if you adjust the pH by .2 or so in the mash. I forgot to do this on my recent festbier and the flavor was noticeably different than last years brew. Shoot for the higher end of the pH range and the finished beer with turn out much different. The last bit of the video was great! Keep an open mind when brewing and experimenting. Jerks LOL!

Another excellent video. We received slightly different results with a split batch of light lager = the Lutra being heavier body, less crisp, and less flavor vs S-189 and W34/70. However, we fermented the Lutra at 70F under 5 psi. Looking forward to your Festbeir results. We are doing that experiment currently as well with an Amber Lager (low and slow VS 64F with 14 psi). Cheers for experimentation!

@TheApartmentBrewer Жыл бұрын

You nailed it, 100 percent - Lutra with Marzen - it's a great beer! It's not the exact style of a Marzen with lager yeast, but darn close and I really enjoy it. I don't want to dedicate my kegerator (or buy another) to make it sit at 50F for months with a true lager. Call me a lazy impatient American, I really don't care -😂- Thanks man.

That said, I've been wondering: would you ever consider adding your improvement commentary to the actual recipe listed to the description? I've followed some of your techniques and recipes, but frantically rewatched over and over to make sure I didn't miss anything on brewday. In fact I've found my two most common searches on brewdays are "hydrometer temperature correction" and "TheAppartmentBrewer (insert style)"

Definitely gets very warm here in Melbourne, Australia for a good 6 months of the year. The other 6 months are great for producing classic lagers. I just love the idea of being able to knock out a decent lager that is more drinkable in the warmer months. Funny that you called out Michael James - google his name and a few "interesting" comments of his come up (though, he seems to have deleted some from youtube). And he is exactly the type of person you describe...like you said: what does it matter? At the end of the day, we're making beer. Who cares what definitions it falls under.

I've used lallamand voss dry 6 times. Pitch at 95, ferm at 90 ish. Flavors are clean, a bit fruity or light estery. Hops shine and finish gets out of the way fast. Pitch 2 grams in 5 gallons at 95 1.055 or less. Works every time for me. Starts in 8 to 12 hours, bubbling away. Great comparison

Oh man you need to upgrade to a double pulley system. Makes lifting the grains up totally effortless. Even for a 10 gallon batch.

Tried Lutra for lagers, super tough yeast, very quick turn around time, but even with gelatin fining and lower ferm temps it added too much flavor. I let my Lutra batch age for around 2 months after bottle conditioning and the flavor greatly improved. I think the yeast is a bit more bold, a little less delicate, and I would recommend some filtration system when kegging or bottling to minimize trub. I used cbc-1 bottling yeast (killer strain) and even with that the character remained. Lutra is cleaner than Espe kveik(lychee flavor and not in a natural or good way) and I enjoyed lutra, just not the same as a lager, I have a very sensitive palette to tasting yeast. Lagers are just cleaner and more enjoyable. I could have 2 12 oz lutras and be good... I could have 3 Mas lagers and be good.

I have not, but I assume it would probably end up cleaner

Great video, I really enjoy split batch yeast comparisons. I just bought another keg and was pondering what to fill it with, I think a kveik Oktoberfest beer is just the ticket :) Thanks for the inspiration!

BAVARIAN! Hahaha. I don't know why it tickled me so much the way you kept saying Bavarian. Another great video. Your new outdoor space looks lovely. Congratulations on the promotion Sir! Loving the glassware too, I love the darker color of these beers. Will stick this on the list for next season. When you compare your lutra to the diamond.... do you think if you actually lagered the lutra it would make something even closer? Excellent German pronunciation too btw. Keep up the good work. One of my favourite channels.

@TheApartmentBrewer Жыл бұрын

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! After many weeks lagering in the keg I actually have found the Lutra batch to drift further and further from the flavor of the lager, which is remaining consistent.

You should have leave the clarifying to the yeast instead of chems when comparing yeasts.

similar to mine! except I like to be super traditional and do at least 50% munich malt. 56.8% Munich II 17.5% Barke Pils 4.4% Carapils 3.8% Acid Malt 21.8-24 IBU (Did magnum at 60min this year) Usually do HMF (Usually like Bayern Lager OYL 114, but did lutra this year) Also added about 2% melanoidin this year to try it out and it's too much melanoidin (melanoidins from the munich 2 and melanoidin malt) and gives an odd flavor at the end of the sip. So will not do that this next year

@TheApartmentBrewer Жыл бұрын

Nice! I probably would have been happy with a >50% munich recipe. I know that flavor you are talking about, its a bit weird.

@SchwarbageTruck Жыл бұрын

How would you describe this odd flavor? I brewed a marzen this year that was actually pretty good until the very end, when it became kind of weird. I've had a hard time narrowing off flavors down, and have been considering if "too much melanoidin" was one of them.

I've pretty much vowed not to use kveik for anything not demanding citrus character. Made a NZ pils that did well in a kveik contest, a WCIPA and a few pale ales. My porters, stouts and fests just haven't been up to what I want from those styles. Always design my beers from the yeast-back to the malt and hops.

@TheApartmentBrewer Жыл бұрын

That's not a bad idea overall, I think it can be cleaner when you adjust the mash pH up a bit.

@oneoeightales2772 Жыл бұрын

@@TheApartmentBrewer Definitely will try that next time I use the yeast, especially if I try to attempt another pseudo lager. I don't temp control and am a geek and made a whole spreadsheet of yeasts that I can ferment with that are in the 75+ degrees to make my whole process easier. My basement can get into the 80s in the summer. Thankfully within the last 2 weeks with the rain and fall weather I'm back down to 68F, so Kveik season may be over for now.
