On Today’s Show:

Todd is out so poor Mr. James Carlson had to carry the show on his back today even though I was present… 🙂

Kidding aside, I had a great time with the Director of Operations for CMBecker International, Mr. Carlson! We discussed our upcoming 200th episode, some big news about next week’s episode too, and James helped me field your questions on brewing. Specifically, we discussed what a diacetyl rest is and when you need to make sure and do one, we also discussed how to get clear/bright beers and if filtering is worth it, then we slightly covered flow control disconnects (we hadn’t really heard of them before this episode) and, finally, we end with a discussion on carbonation. It’s funny because Todd wasn’t here and we both agreed that he is the carbonation expert so maybe we’ll ask his opinion on a future episode?

We want to hear from you!

VIDEO ABOUT FORCE CARBING

FROM JAMES:

Here is the links for the filter parts on Amazon. 

The filter housing uses 3/4″ pipe fittings so you will need bushings and 1/2″ to 3/8 fittings. Those can be bought on amazon and any hardware store. Brass works just fine but stainless steel is optimal.

On Today’s Show:

We’re back at it and still taking FOUR questions per episode now. We are receiving so many incredible questions from you all so it makes my job easier when writing out the show notes for each weekly episode. Today, we discuss using yeast nutrients and when it’s appropriate. We also talk about how a brewer can achieve clearer/brighter IPAs (especially when you’re brewing something like a traditional West Coast IPA and not an intentionally hazy NEIPA). Then we talk about hitting yours gravity numbers on brew day and whether or not you should stress out about it. Finally, end with a question about following the guidelines that come with your brewing system (specifically, electric all-in-ones) or should you follow the recipe guidelines more? It was a great show that also included irrelevant small talk and some embarrassing moments for me that I was too lazy to edit out. C’est la vie!

Brew Kombucha at Home – Recipe + How To

Brew Kombucha at Home – Recipe + How To

Making kombucha at home is fun and easy!

I’m not even kidding. Brewing kombucha is probably the easiest beverage I’ve ever brewed. It’s almost as easy as making carbonated water (which isn’t “brewing” at all and is just adding carbonation to a keg or bottle of water…). The reason I’m emphasizing the ease of brewing kombucha is because I know how popular this drink is becoming and I also know how expensive kombucha can cost when you buy it at the store. To be honest – I don’t understand why it costs so much! No fears – I’m here to help you save money and brew your own batches at home.

Below, we’ll go over what you need to begin brewing at home and brew in “small batch” quantities (1 gallon batches). When you’re finished brewing, you always have the option to bottle your batch, keg your batch, or you can forgo carbonation altogether and just transfer your kombucha into a serving pitcher and keep it in the fridge. There are lots of options so let’s get going!

What you’ll need

Again, we’ll be brewing a one-gallon batch today so the equipment and ingredients listed below are specifically for brewing one-gallon batches. You can always scale these numbers if you’d like to brew larger batches! Also, I’d highly recommend that if you’re brand new to brewing kombucha that you pick up a starter kit much like this one on Amazon (CLICK HERE).

1 – Small to Medium sized pot

1 – One gallon glass jar

6 to 8 – caffeinated tea bags

1 – cup of sugar

1 – cloth covering + rubber band for your jar (I use these unbleached muslin covers)

1 – adhesive thermometer for your glass jar

1 – SCOBY

If you buy the kit I linked to above, you’ll receive all of the above except for the stock pot which many of you probably already possess. It’s a great deal and a very affordable way to begin your kombucha making journey!

Brewing Instructions

1. In your small-medium sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then turn off.
2. Use 6-8 tea bags to steep
3. Allow tea to steep for 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Pour 1 cup of sugar into the pot and stir.
5. Once the sugar has dissolved, pour your newly made sweet tea mixture into the one gallon glass jar.
6. Fill the brewing jar with 8 cups of cold water. Your jar should now be 3/4 of the way full.
7. Use the adhesive thermometer strip to confirm that your sweet tea solution is between 68 and 86 degrees before moving on to the next step. If it’s still too warm, add another 1/2 cup of cold water.
8. Add your SCOBY (or SCOBY + starter liquid, if applicable) to your tea. It’s ok if the SCOBY sinks or floats in the jar.9. Cover the jar with breathable cloth and seal with a rubber band.

10. Place your brewing jar in a warm place, out of direct sunlight, with plenty of airflow (no closed cupboards). Leave it there for 7-9 days and do not move it.
11. By days 7-9, you will see a new, cream-colored layer has grown in on the top of your brew. This is your new SCOBY! While trying not to disturb the new culture on top, use a spoon to taste test your brew.Taste awesome? You’re done! Still a little too sweet? Put the cloth back on and let it ferment a few more days.
12. Once your kombucha is done, you can pour your tea into a serving container. Keep your SCOBY in your glass jar with enough tea to keep it submerged if you plan on making more kombucha in the future.

Personally, I prefer to keg my batches of kombucha and we’ll make a video to go over that in the near future. Once we make that video, I’ll embed it here in this article so you’ll be able to easily find it! If you do want carbonation but don’t want to keg, you can follow the steps below and bottle your batch.

Bottling Instructions

  1. Using a funnel, pour the kombucha into each bottle, leaving an inch or so of space at the top

2. Seal the bottles tightly and store in a warm, dark place for 2-5 days

3. After 2-5 days, move your bottles into your refrigerator

4. Once chilled, pop the top and enjoy your very own homebrewed kombucha!

If you want to experiment with flavoring, you can add your favorite combination of fruits, juices, or herbs to each bottle (or keg) before doing these steps. Everything is “to flavor” so add as much or as little adjuncts as you prefer depending on your tastes.

THAT’S IT!

Congrats on brewing your first batch of kombucha! It was easy, wasn’t it? When you’re ready to brew another batch, you can use the scoby from your first batch and just repeate steps 1-12 in this list. If possible, keep your brewing jar and your “SCOBY HOTEL” (the jar you’ll be keeping your SCOBY’s in for future use) between 68-86 degrees Fahrenheit. Mid-70’s is optimal, which works out great since that’s about the temperature kept in the average household.

One of the best parts about brewing kombucha is that you’ll continuously produce newer and newer SCOBYs that you can either use for yourself in future batches or you can share these with your friends and get them into brewing their own kombucha too!

Please let us know if you need any help or if you have any questions regarding this article.

On Today’s Show:

Much like last week’s show, we are taking FOUR questions from now on which means even more awesome content jam-packed into each week AND, get this — we’re going to try and stay on topic 80% of the show. Eh? Eh? Not a bad promise.

We talked about a lot today, including the process of changing out pin lock posts for ball lock posts and what to look out for when converting a keg‘s posts. We also take a question that asked about when sparging an all-grain batch is necessary and in what situations could you get away with doing a “no sparge” brew day. Then, we discussed using over-sized conical fermenters when you’re brewing much smaller batches (i.e – if you brew 5 gallon batches but own a 15 gallon fermenter). Finally, we wrap it up with a question about doing the entire fermentation process in a homebrew keg. It’s more common than you might think and we discuss the pros and cons of doing it that way!

We want to hear from you!

If you have a question that you’d like us to discuss on a future episode, please click on the “Submit a Question” link at the top of our website or you can now call in your questions via our questions hotline @ 325-305-6107 and leave your message after the beep.

Oktoberfest: Festbier and Märzen

Oktoberfest: Festbier and Märzen

When you think of the word “festbier”, what comes to your mind? Festbier is a newer German term that brings connotations of celebrations to beer lovers everywhere. But what exactly IS a festbier and is it the same as the traditional Oktoberfest/Märzen that we are most familiar with as beer drinkers?  The words Märzen and Oktoberfest are used interchangeably, as Märzen is the German word for the month of March, and denotes a beer brewed in March and cold stored until the fall (initially served in October).  

Origins

While we associate the word Oktoberfest with pretzels, beer, and music, the original Oktoberfest event was the fall wedding celebration of future King Ludwig I of Bavaria and his beautiful bride, Princess Teresa.  This event was held at the edge of the city gates, and all residents were invited to celebrate this wedding for 5 full days with parades, beer, food, and even a horse race.   This event was so successful that it became an annual party and is still held today in the same location.  

The beer that was likely served in 1810 is unlike today’s Oktoberfest style beer in color and flavor but was still what we now call a Märzen in that it was brewed in the springtime and served in the fall.  The beer went through changes through the years, as the Oktoberfest beer became lighter in color, and a bit less heavy and filling. In the last 40 years, the beer being served became even paler and less full-bodied, allowing drinkers to consume it by the liter.  Those changes brought forth a new style of beer called festbier. The festbier is notably more yellow or gold than the amber Märzen, lighter in body, and very smooth. With light toasty and soft doughy sweet malt flavors balanced by light hop notes, this malty beer has proven to be a crowdpleaser, and the beer currently served at the Oktoberfest festival is always festbier.   

Let’s Brew it!

The great malt flavor in the festbier style comes from pilsner malt.   German pilsner malt is the best choice for the base malt with Munich malt or Vienna malt added for some added maltiness and complexity.  The hops should be German noble hops.  A Bavarian lager yeast is the obvious choice for fermenting this lager.  Lagers should be fermented at 48-55 degrees F, depending on yeast strain, and then lagered (cold stored) at 34-40 degrees for 5-6 weeks if possible.    

The 2015 BJCP guidelines suggest these statistics for a festbier:

IBU : 18 – 25

SRM:  4 – 7

OG:   1.054 – 1.057

FG:   1.010 – 1.012

ABV:  5.8% – 6.3%

Batch Size : 5 gallons (fermentor volume)

Boil Size: 6.25 gallons

Boil Gravity: 1.046

Efficiency: 70% (brew house)

STATS:

Original Gravity: 1.056

Final Gravity: 1.012

ABV (standard): 5.8%

IBU (tinseth): 22.07

FERMENTABLES:

9 lb – Floor-Malted Bohemian Pilsner (85.7%)

1 lb – Vienna (9.5%)

0.5 lb – Munich Light (4.8%)

HOPS:

1 oz – Tettnanger, Type: Pellet, AA: 4.5, Use: Boil for 60 min, IBU: 17.68

0.5 oz – Tettnanger, Type: Pellet, AA: 4.5, Use: Boil for 15 min, IBU: 4.39

MASH GUIDELINES:

1) Temp: 152 F

Starting Mash Thickness: 1.5 qt/lb

YEAST OPTIONS:

Imperial – L17 Harvest Organic Yeast Lager 

Wyeast – Bavarian Lager 2206

White Labs – 820 Oktoberfest/Märzen

Saflager – 34/70

Ferment at 50 degrees for 10-14 days or until FG is nearly reached, then raise for a diacetyl rest for several days, and then lager at 34 degrees for 5-6 weeks.

James, Todd, and I are together to take on your homebrewing related questions and take part in sometimes relevant small talk as well. Which reminds me – we decided (well, Todd decided) that we’re going to try and cut back on the small talk *just a little bit* and also add one additional question each show! This means our shows will go slightly longer than normal and we might actually end up being a full hour, thus fulfilling our show’s name as the Homebrew Happy Hour. We also realize that we can, sometimes, digress a bunch and have REALLY long small talk so this will help us maintain our entertainment value but increase the educational/informational value of our show. Please let me know if this is something you enjoy because we love your feedback!

On Today’s Show:

Can you believe that it’s already the middle of August? Sorry, the thought just popped in my head that 2020 has been such a weird year AND it feels like its flying by. Crazy…

ANYWAY – we have a great show because Todd and James were both able to join me and take YOUR questions because we all know I couldn’t do it by myself.

Specifically: we compare 110v and 220v all-in-one brewing systems (like the Robobrew, Mash & Boil, Grainfather, Anvil Foundry, etc) and why you might want one version over another. We also discuss what could be causing a “sour apple” off flavor that a listener is experiencing in her batches of beer, then we talk about adding adjuncts to your beer and when is the best time to do it.
