WHY MAKE A LIGHT BEER? Grain to Glass in 3 DAYS | Brewing LIGHT LAGER the EASY WAY with LUTRA Kveik

Рет қаралды 42,617

Күн бұрын

Bud Light, but BETTER. And FASTER. And EASIER? This is how to brew a super-crushable American Lite Lager that tastes better than Bud and be drinking it in only a week. Using Lutra Kveik, this beer was officially grain to glass in 3 days, but I let it clarify for a few more days to drink it on day 7! The cherry on top? Its only 110 calories!

Never had a macro lager. I do like pilsner though, so I know exactly what you mean by hay. I really enjoy that flavor / aroma in a pilsner. My cascade Vienna SMaSH blonde just finished bottle conditioning. (Brewed with LalBrew Köln. It tastes like orange marmalade on biscuits.) It's nice having something light, easy drinking, and relatively low ABV. I tend to brew bigger, or darker beers, so it's a but of a pleasant departure for me. The problem with bottling easy drinking beers is that they tend to disappear quickly. I'm sure the same is true when kegging, but bottling takes so much more effort. xD

Hi. Big fan, watch all your vids. Been meaning to ask for a while now. Why are you adding baking soda to your beers? A pale grain bill like this needs the pH to be lowered, thus the salts you have added. But baking soda will raise the pH back up. Also, why are you concerned with the bicarbonate levels at all? Great video as always.

@TheApartmentBrewer 3 жыл бұрын

It really is almost negligible but the bicarb will also add some texture to the mouthfeel, but its really not all that critical.

@gregmorris2022 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the response. I learned water chem from a brewer in Pittsburg, so I’m only echoing what he told me. I’m far from an expert. His explanation was the baking soda is “fighting” with the other salts. He also said bicarbonate never matters, there are better ways to get mouthfeel. But in the end, I don’t think any one opinion is better than another. If this works for you, that’s all that matters. Cheers!🍻

@TheApartmentBrewer 3 жыл бұрын

I'm not claiming to be an expert here either haha. There's plenty of ways to skin that cat, I was just keeping the whole water profile light but balanced. It doesn't matter that much in this kind of beer though. Must times you'll see next to nothing for a water profile in this style. Usually I use baking soda for a pH buffer, it works beautifully in darker beers.

im going to make this recipe in a few weeks. i havent made a light lager yet. ill use nova lager due to not having a freezer setup. i have some hops ill try out but i was thinking of using ... herkules at fwp. 0.25 - magnum at 60 min 0.25 at 60. saaz 0.4 at 15. saaz 0.8 at 5. and saaz 0.4 at 2 min. what do you think? i bought herkules a while back due to being impossible to find so thought id give it a try

Sounds like a great plan to me!

@paulschroeter4987 9 ай бұрын

Do you think my hop additions will be too much? Just trying to make it simple but want a little more hop characteristics

@TheApartmentBrewer 9 ай бұрын

Hard to tell without knowing what your Alpha acids are. Hercules and Magnum are pretty powerful but a 1/4 oz should be just fine

@paulschroeter4987 9 ай бұрын

Magnum is 11 percent. Herkules is 17 percent and saaz 2 percent

Might be a bit bitter at these rates. Try plugging it into brewfather or something and aim for 15-20 ibu

@@TheApartmentBrewer, I know, a friend of mine and Sweden’s foremost beerwriter does actually like Bud, as it technically is a very good product, no off-flavours etc, but I dont like the (lack of) taste (but I like hops and malt, but not to keen on rice). 🍻

I used Kveiking in my psuedo lager and wasnt a fan. (Real fruity) maybe next time I'll let it sit a little longer and add the extra nutrient

@TheApartmentBrewer 3 жыл бұрын

I haven't used that stain yet but most kveiks I've used have had that fruitiness. Lutra is the first without it, but you have to drop it out fully

Why do you keep the lid on during the boil! Keeping the lid off during the boil will limit the DMS in the beer.

The lid is not fully closed. It is cracked open to allow volatiles to escape

Is that relative to other kveik strains? Every kveik I have ever used has needed roughly 2x the amount of nutrients. Been advised to use more nutrients by many folks who use kveik far more than I do

13 IBU is not enough bittering imo i would target ~40 IBU. You need the right medium what is the point of making a really heavily hopped beer in one recipe and then on a recipe like this you add almost no bittering hops at all. You want to try and get the right balance.

@TheApartmentBrewer Жыл бұрын

It really depends on personal tastes. In my opinion 40 IBI in a beer this low gravity would be significantly over-bittered. Keep in mind too the style guidelines that dictates some of the boundaries

No haha. I disconnect everything, close the valves and lift it over the sill. Then I just slide it across the carpet to my kitchen to get chilled. Still not ideal but way less dangerous than the scenario in your mind. But thanks for the concern!

I’ve never actually finished a full light lager . I refuse to drink macro beer. I’ve gone to a restaurant with my ex, at the time , she wanted me to grab a drink with her and all they had was lagunitas ipa and bud light so I just drank water. My ex was upset to say the least
