Sanitizer suck-back,filtering carbonated beer, oxidation from sloshing in a carboy, & how long is too long when cold conditioning – Ep. 265

On Today’s Show:

We’re back to tackle your questions about brewing and all things fermentation! We start off discussing the consequences of cold-crash suck back that sometimes happens from your airlock into your batch.
 
Then we take a question from a listener curious about when is the ideal time to filter your beer: pre-carbonation or post-carbonation.
 
After that, we talk about oxidation and if it’s possible to happen from carrying your fermenter from one place to another. There’s a lot of nuance and context necessary but the overall gist is – relax, don’t worry!
 
Then we wrap up this week with a question about secondary and “how long is too long”.

Bohemian Pilsner Recipe

Bohemia is now a region in the Czech Republic and this beer is also called a Czech style Pilsner.  Although a lot of Germans might try to deny it, the Czechs are actually credited with inventing the Pilsner.  This style is slightly sweeter than a German Pilsner and will have malt, biscuit like flavors.  The most famous versions of this beer would be the Czech’s “Pilsner Urquell” and “Budweiser Budvar” (the Czech beer, not to be confused with an American Beer with a similar name). This is one of the great old style beers.  It is a classic and brewing it is stepping back in time.  It is  a lager, so like all lagers it must be fermented at a lower temperature, then raised for diacetyl rest and then cold crashed and lagered for several weeks.

What all changes when you scale a recipe, pitching the ‘wrong’ yeast, ball lock disconnect stuck on the post, & grains and hops to always have on hand – Ep. 264

Happy to have you back, homebrewer!

We’ve got another jam-packed episode of our weekly Homebrew Happy Hour podcast… the #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

On Today’s Show:

Our first question on this week’s show is about scaling up or down a recipe and what that means for your mash and your boil times. Spoiler: it doesn’t mean much and we go over why.
 
Then we tackle a question about pitching the “wrong” yeast on brew day. Will the batch be a total dud and dumpable or could it turn out to be a pleasant surprise?
 
Next, we discuss why ball lock disconnects seem to be interchangeable (as in: liquid disconnects appear to fit on a gas post) yet when you accidentally put the wrong disconnect on a post, it’s very difficult to remove. What do YOU do when that happens to you?
 
Our fourth and final question on this week’s show was about what grains and hops we would keep around at all times if we were buying in bulk. Another spoiler: it only takes Pilsner malt and Vienna malt plus some noble hops like Hallertaur to make a solid kolsch! 🙂

We want to hear from you!

On Today’s Show:

Todd, James, and I take on your questions in this week’s show.
First, we talk about what to do when your fermentation just doesn’t take off. Is the batch ruined? Do you need to dump it? Tune in and hear our opinion!
 
The next question we took was about whole cone dry hopping. Not gonna lie, I just nodded my head in affirmation during this part because I’ve never used whole hops at all. What are your thoughts: pellets or whole or both?!
 
After that, a listener wrote in about repairing a single valve on a multi-valve manifold. Is it possible to repair and/or replace or does the whole thing need to be worked on?
 
We then wrap up the episode with a question about using sanke kegs in a homebrew set up. How hard is it to fill one? Dispense one? That and more!

Fixing flat beer, cold conditioning outside, forgetting to add aroma hops, & our 2022 new year resolutions – Ep. 262

Happy New Year, Homebrewer!

We’re happy to have you back for another fun-filled episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast… the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

On Today’s Show:

James is able to join Todd and myself and tackle YOUR questions. Our first question came from a listener wanting to know if he is going to be able to fix his ‘flat’ (under-carbonated) beer. Thankfully, for him, we have the carbonation pro – Mr. Todd Burns – to reassure our friend that there is nothing to worry about.
 
After that, we take a question from a homebrewer who wants to know if it’s OK to cold condition his fermenting buckets outside. The question was short and sweet and the answer was too (until I dragged it out because I love adding nuance to listener questions!).
 
Then we heard from a Trub Club member who accidentally forgot to add his aroma hops during his brew day. Never fear – James Carlson is here to help.
 
We wrapped up this week discussing our 2022 brewing resolutions. What are yours?!

We want to hear from you!
