I am a Homebrewer [video] Release

[passedpawn]

I think it's a pretty interesting and entertaining show. I've actually brewed four of the recipes that they've done...the Pullman Brown, Green Flash IPA, Moose Drool, and Lagunitas IPA. The Moose Drool and Lagunitas are still in carboys, but the Green Flash and Pullman Brown turned out pretty well, though I can't call them cloned or not since I can't get the originals. I believe the next one they're doing is Arrogant Bastard.

I can't find Green Flash around me, either. I was drooling at work while listening to this one. Gotta do it myself.

My 2c: JZ is the man. The Jamil show, now Can You Brew It, is great. I get the shows as podcasts and listen to it either at work, in my car, or while running. Love it. That Sunday Session was horrible. I won't be listening to another one of those. Reminds me of one of those inane Morning Zoo radio programs. Sucko.

The Sunday Session can be OK if you (a) get past the first 30-40 minutes and (b) turn if off when they finish with the guest. The middle 90 minutes or so when they're actually talking beer (usually with a guest brewer) can be decent. It's like a 90 minute show packed into 4 hours. I often listen to it while brewing.

Agreed. There is sometimes something interesting in there if you know where to cut to to miss the moronic banter. I didn't know this until I accidentally left a show running. I came back an hour or two later and came across something interesting in the middle of the broadcast.

Got recognized yesterday at a Gator tailgate party.

I charged for an autograph. Gotta make up for the equipment costs somehow.

Great videos.....gave me goosebumps. The Polish one had some cute ladies in their version. Perhaps some of the lady brewers need to step up and make a video

Now I am curious. What is Grodziskie?

This is light (about 8 Plato) smoked wheat beer, well hopped. It's origin comes from the town Grodzisk Wielkopolski in Poland. When Poland was occupied by Germany, the town was named Gratz, and the beer was named Graetzer.
Unfortunatly in the 90's when start the consolidation in polish brewing, it's production was canceled.
But in 2007 by some guys who act in our video was started homebrewing contest "Prawie jak Grodzisz" what means "Almost like Grodziskie". In the jury are old employees from the closed brewery in Grodzisk. Average age of the juror is 70 (!).

recipe? Maybe you could post a good recipe in the "Recipes" section. I'd like to make it. I'm a big smoke beer fan.

Perhaps one of the beers in the video was this Grodziskie?

Unfortunatelly not.

It is special glass for Grodziskie. Grodziskie was called polish champagne.
Here you have export label in English.

About recipe, the hardest thing is that Grodziskie was made of 100% smoked (oak) wheat malt. And in Europe there is no malting company, which produced this kind of malt. So many of us use wheat malt + smoked barley malt, but some of us smoke wheat malt on their own.
The recipe I used is:
smoked barley malt 1,5kg
wheat malt 1kg
aroma hops pellets 50g (it was Lubelski, similar to Saaz)
yeast like to koelsch, e.g. S-33

Mash:
5 litre water temp. 40C - add malts
30min in 37C
add 2l hot (boiling) water
20min in 50C
add 3l hot water and heat
30min in 70C

Boiling:
90min
30g hops at the bginning
20g hops after 20 minutes.

EDIT:And the most important it was bottle conditioned.
