How cool! I didn't know Barleywine had a wheat-based cousin. Loving the new Spike equipment you've been using! Also, I saw your chicken beer collab - very strange lol. Definitely prefer these all grain videos

Thanks. I wasn’t really involved in the chicken beer other than being the inspiration for the thumbnail. This was a new style on me too.

I've had Wheat Wine before and really liked it. Your video inspired me to try my own today. I substituted Voss Kveik for the the yeast. Fermenting warm and the blow off tube is bubbling fiercely.

You mentioned dumping trub and possible harvesting yeast. I would highly recommend purchasing a reducer for your dump valve. What I did was go to spikes accessories and purchase a 2 in" barb fitting and about 3 feet of their tubing. Just attach that to the dump valve, release head pressure, and crack the valve just barely. Let it push out that trub into a bucket. It's like watching paint dry, but if you plan to age the beer in the conical after the yeast has cleaned up it makes a big difference (at least it has for my beers) Cheers 🍻

Great video, as usual! The mood lighting is a nice touch. I don't think it's too much at all. The beer sounds amazing! I'd love to try this one, for sure. I won't be able to mash 18lb of grain in the system I'm getting, but...I think I could make a 4 Gallon batch, cutting this recipe by 20%, yeah? Might have to do that!

What are the possible upsides/downsides to using nearly 100% wheat? (with rice hulls, of course)

@hugovandenberg313 3 жыл бұрын

You should really try aging some of your heavier beers. It's amazing what a few years of rest will do to improve a beer. I have a couple of bottles in my cellar that are almost 8 years old. Followed the beer from very young to very old. Aging works better with bottle conditioning. The yeast used for refermentation uses up all the oxygen, leaving a nitrogen/CO2 mixture above the bear so it doesn't oxidize. And the yeast at the bottom of the bottle also helps in proper aging. You need glass, not plastic bottles for long term aging. Normal crown caps work fine.

I know, this vid is a bit old, but maybe someone can help me. I want to brew a wheatwine for the winter - when should I brew it? How long does a wheatwine has to age at minimum?

@peterwiley2780 3 жыл бұрын

We’re getting close to European sours which require aging and the “bugs” can be dangerous; it’ll be interesting to see how he handles it!!

@kiliang96 3 жыл бұрын

The bugs can't be any danger if handled properly, I don't have specific fermenters for it and never had an issue, I do have for example a stainless bottling wand, that's easier to sanitize with temp and I don't use the same siphon, but the buckets are the same for every beer

Please help! I'm new to brewing and I need help. I'm not good with math. I'm using a 5 gallon fermenter with 15 pounds of grain. Yes a stout. My question is how much water do I need to cook the grains to achieve my 5 gallon mark? 7 gallons of water?

@Kaesekuchen002 3 жыл бұрын

Reminds me a bit of when I was brewing a rye wine a while back. It's 2 months old now and starting to become drinkable. Perhaps I should've made wheat wine instead.

@gregvondare 3 жыл бұрын

Martin, I notice that when you raise a mash basket up to let it drain, it basically stays in one place and whatever drains out, drains out. Is there any kind of device like a coffee press to extract the last bit of liquid from the grain? It seems to me that there might be a reservoir of extra liquid and flavor waiting in the "lees".

@kommi1974 3 жыл бұрын

I use a kettlebell and it works great. I simply set it a top the grains and it squeezes a lot of wort out. I hold it by the handle and let the weight slowly press down while holding by the handle. I use a 30lb one and it always works great.

@TheHomebrewChallenge 3 жыл бұрын

Cool idea with the kettlebell. I leave the grain basket hanging at an angle while waiting for boil. Seems to drain most of the wort out.

This seems like a braggot(a type of mead), but with wheat, and less honey.

@bassclefjoe63 3 жыл бұрын

I think what makes something a braggot is that honey is about half or more of the weight of fermentables. Like a braggot is a mead with some malt and a beer with some honey is still a beer regardless of the grain bill.

@rod4309 3 жыл бұрын

@@bassclefjoe63 Right. I'm a mead guy, but beer is mostly unknown to me. I knew braggot was a thing but i didn't know there was any beer that even flirted with the idea of honey. Edit: I'm pretty sure the "line" is probably 50% if you're getting 50+% of your fermentables from grain it's a beer, but if it's from honey it's a meed

Any flavor from the honey? I always heard the honey would ferment all the way out and just make the beer drier.

It’s 95% fermentable so leaves a little something behind, at least in my mind.

@Kaesekuchen002 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheHomebrewChallenge Probably not just in your mind. Traditional mead would just be made from honey, water and yeast and still has some flavor depending on your honey. So that remaining 5% definitely still does contain flavors. Would be interesting to see your take on mead some time.

@@TheHomebrewChallenge As a fun thing to try is to brew a 5 gallon batch of a lager style but ferment it in two batches, one using the Lutra and the other you use lager yeast and you lager. Then have a couple of people do a blind taste test. I'd be interested in seeing their opinions on them how similar/different they look and taste.
