I'm super glad some of what I had to say was useful! I haven't made any videos recently, but if you have something specific you've got questions about, let me know and I'll be happy to put something together for you (and others).

Glad it made sense. And thanks for watching the video!

Glad it was helpful! Happy Brewing!

Glad the video was useful! Happy Brewing!

I only have one of those shirts - DOH!

@@checkerheadbrewing good, funny. I'm also a home brewer. congratulations on your channel

Yeah... Happy to do one on dry hopping... I aim to make two of these videos a month, and I'm going to talk about my hop yard in the next one, but I can totally follow that up with a dry hopping video. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@checkerheadbrewing Hey David, I was looking for this Dry Hopping video in your feed but maybe you didn't get around to it. Would still love to get your take on different methods with different fermenters, etc. Thanks!

@@joshuapinter Joshua - thanks for all the comments! Never did get around to doing the dry hopping video I said I would, but hope to do one in the coming weeks. Short term, I'd check out the video I did for post primary fermentation additions as it's quite similar to my dry hop method - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKp_hdB9lr3Jj6c.html

You can absolutely put it into bottles. If you look at this chart you'll see that you can change the temperature and adjust your priming sugar accordingly... www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/

Depends what you want the yeast to do... If you're after fruity esters, fermenting at a warmer temperature is great! I you want fewer esters, drop the temp down for a cleaner finish.

@@checkerheadbrewing thanks!

I usually cold crash it to get all yeast and proteins to fall out of suspension. I'll drop the temperature to 2˚c for a couple of days then pull the fermenter out of the chest freezer and let it warm up to room temp before bottling it. I've had great success with this approach.

Yeah... It's a really close tight fit for the 7 gallon SS Brewtech Brewbucket. I'm pretty sure mine is a 5.5 cubic foot Danby Chest Freezer. I picked it up off of Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace for about $60.00... It's served me really well for about 5 or 6 years!

Hey Hey - So I've got three different chest freezers that I use for different sized fermenters. I've got one that'll hold the seven gallon SSBrewTech Brew Bucket, one that will hold two 14 gallon SSBrewTech Brew Buckets and one that can hold three six gallon carboys. Each one's a different size and I plan things so that the freezers that can hold more than one fermenter all use yeasts that want to ferment around the same temperature. For your Speidel 30 litre fermenter I'd definitely say that a chest freezer is a better option as long as you don't mind lifting it in and out of the chest freezer.

That banana smell is particularly associated with Hefeweizens... What style of beer were you brewing? And yes...Higher temperatures do tend to produce more fuity esters.

@@checkerheadbrewing lol, it's been so long I can't remember. I'm sure it was decent because the brews I remember the most are the ones that went horribly wrong. Cheers!

@@skepticfucker280 Sorry it took me so long to reply... I've been busy building a brewery... Sort of ignored the KZfaq Channel for a wee bit too long it would appear... Hope you have brewers that are memorable because they turned out so well moving forward!

@@checkerheadbrewing no worries bro! Stay up and happy Saturday. :)

@@skepticfucker280 Happy Brewing!

100% - As long as your fermentation temperature stays in the range you want it you should be good to go!
