Brewing Vid.

[Orfy]

Good Vid but how many things do you see that are in your opinion "wrong"?

There are 4 parts in total.

I got sceptical when he said he puts his irish moss in at the beginning of the boil. I've never heard of anyone do that before. (May it works better)

I suppose it's easy to pick fault with other techniques if they don't match your own.

Got a link?

The instructions on my Irish moss say 1/2 teaspoonful at the beginning of the boil. I've never seen that in a beer recipe, either. Just the manufacturer's instructions. Go figure.

 

[Orfy]

Of course.

good vids... just goes to show you that there are many differnt ways to brew and some of us like to keep everything clean while other really dont care. i noticed at one part of the vid he was holding a transfer tube in his mouth. i would also like to say in th modern age of brewing we are very technical in what we do. however, never forget this has been a process going on for years an dwe all cam to like these styles because they are so great. any way off the soap box i hope you never see me playing with a hoola hoop or singing... unless im a 6 pack ...

Yeah that guy posted on here trying to sell that video a while ago. I think it was the bird in his pre-mod days who got him to buy a vendor membership, then his video was soundly berated.

I'll try to find the post.

Irosh moss will break down and beocme usless when boiled for too long. In fact the research I did last year showed that you should probably use it for the last 5 minutes not 15.

I threw mine in just prior to flame out with my first AG. I think it will be ok though, I hope. My wort seems pretty dark still in the fermenter but then again it's early on and it's a Fat Tire clone.

It seems to me that whirlflock tablets are the same thing, is this true? What do you
prefer to use?

I use Whirfloc at fifteen minutes, and I notice the effect. It may work "better" at flameout, but I doubt it will be a huge difference.

I thought I'd breathe some life into this... I've been meaning to throw this video up here just to see the reaction it would get and I guess now is as good of a time as any!



It's funny because it's called "How to make beer the modern way" but it really seems to demonstrate how my great grandfather brewed beer during prohibition.

ahhh holey..... man watching that made me feel like i was a some german purist. mmm i have never made a 20 min kit but theres no fun in it at all. and did he say he pitches his yeast at 90 deg wow. the two thing that made the hair on my back stand up was wel 90 deg pitch the yeast was just droped in and well the spoon scraping on the bucket. maybe the mic was to close and made it sound worst. oh oh oh wait just wanted to say POWERED SURGAR hehe i have never... well i guess that is some real prohabition stuff, just had to add that in watched it a second time

Geeze - I couldn't watch that one through to the end. Why does everyone feel the need to do a video documentary? Especially when doing something as simple as opening a can of extract? I know, next time I bake brownies from Betty Crocker, I'll do a YouTube shoot of it!

 

[Ryanh1801]

Wow, just wow on the second video. I love the powdered sugar part. I can't imagine that stuff taste good. All he says is its a cheap way to make beer. I did not get into brewing to be cheap. I got into it to make a good quality beer. If i save some money thats cool but its not important.

I'd have to look for which brewing science book I have goes into this, but. Irish moss is similar to gelatin in that it will break down and become useless with to much heat. Unlike gelatin, Irish Moss/Whirlfoc takes longer to break down and does require some heat to become soluble.

After 5 minutes of boiling Irish Moss begins to break down, though at 15 min it is still very useful, you are just getting better use of it at t-5.

At flame out you will get some use out of it but it might not completely dissolve.

Thats interesting. Before now, I had never heard anything but to put it in for 15 min. Next time I brew I'll add it at 5 min and see what happens.
