Introduction music:- Drink Beer (Till The Day That I Die) by Dazie Mae - Jak na to + styl
I LOVE THE INTRO... Your videos are so filled with information. I don't remember music before. Cheers. =)
Im so glad to hear that :) The music is Royalty free, so I guess its not so well known. I think it sounds pretty good for what I needed :)
Nice intro! I'm looking forward to tackling my first Belgian Blonde (Brewday) haha. Cheers
Homebrew Griffo Glad you liked it :) Ive posted quite afew Belgian beer videos, with more to come! Should be some in there that will get you started. If you need any further help then you only have to ask. I do love Belgian beers, so ive brewed alot of them!
I like the intro, short and sweet - cheers 🍺
jct Good to hear :)
Another excellent video and great looking beer! Thank you! Cheers:)
Bruce Frieske Thanks Bruce, very glad that you liked it :)
Love the into and quite keen on the label too!! Interesting video as always, thanks
WIld Boar Brewing Glad you enjoyed it. Yes thats a very pretty label for sure! Shes a professional snowboarder :)
Cracking intro..Would like a review of the beer since im a Leffe Blonde fan myself.
haugeby Ive brewed this before, with the right yeast its close to the original. Personally im experimenting with different yeast to see the end result.
Hi. I guess a WLP570 will also do the job.
haugeby It sure will. Experimentation is key in my opinion. Dont just make a clone...make something better :)
And now for something completely different ... I saw your video "Out of date Liquid beer yeast Revitalistaion". At 0:50 you say you have a video where you make a starter. Can you point me in the right direction / video. Cheers.
haugeby Hey and sure no problem! This is the video:- czcams.com/video/hyCNxiSFARo/video.html
Are you have two versions of this recipe?
I have shared different types of Belgian blonde recipes.
Getting thirsty just watching this. When do you actually add the Candi sugar to this brew?
I've seen the sugar added at various stages, even fermentation. Keep the small pipework videos coming! Cheers!
Sugar can be added at different stages for different reasons. Generally It would be added during the boil at 10 minutes till the end. If you were using simple sugars then you might want to add them earlier to get some extra conversion or caramelisation. Glad you are enjoying the videos! I have the Grainfather connect controller coming next week ahead of release, so that will be the next one!
I like the intro David and enjoy watching your brew days. Do you leave your Thrumometer in situ during the sterilising recycle? I have read some people saying the high temperature can damage the liquid crystal scale?
Gary James Thanks alot Gary, im glad to hear that :) Yes I leave the Thrumometer in place during the sterilising cycle. Ive done quite afew brews with it so far and its had no issues. Others have had trouble doing this?
David Heath someone on one of the forums said the instructions for the thrumometer said high temperatures could damage it - but mine didn't come with any instructions!
Gary James Nor did mine!! Those temp strips are very cheap to replace though.
Nice video, David. How long did you mature the beer in bottles before it was ready?
Joe Barrett It was drinkable at 6 weeks but it peaked at 9 weeks. This beer has been a big hit was others every time I brew it.
This is a long shot but seeing as you're brewing in Scandinavia.... I'm looking to do a Carlsberg Special Brew and wondered if you've come across any extra strong (and sweet!!) lagers? Hoping to plan such a brew for my Mother's 80th in Feb next year (it's her favourite), so just asking around for any pointers? Cheers.
Cider Meister I have to be honest, I am not a fan of lager, I dont drink it hardly ever. The commercial market here is moving away from lager styles into Ales of all types. The lagers that I have tried here have been nothing special.
Do you have a substitute for the Styrian Goldings bittering hops?
Yes. You could use East Kent goldings or other European hops with similar results.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew WIll Bobek be a proper replacement?
That is the same hop as Styrian Goldings, just with a different name :) www.hopslist.com/hops/dual-purpose-hops/bobek/
@@DavidHeathHomebrew Excellent. Cheers!
Hey David! How long should I let this beer mature for?
I tend to condition this one for at least 3-4 months unless if I use kveik yeast. Then a couple of weeks will work no problem.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew Thanks, will any kveik yeast work or is there a way to choose one? BTW I've only got access to those from Omega Yeast
Nice video! Btw, Where did you get that in-line-thermometer on the wort cooler? Link? Price perhaps?
.
Hey David, I was going back through your videos because I thought you had done one on the in-line beer thrumometer. I wanted to get your thoughts on it again and confirm that I would need the 3/8" version to use with the Grainfather tubing. Which video was it again? Cheers!
+Kevin Dillon Hey Kevin, I picked this topic up again recently in the Hoppy summer ale video @ 7.26 approx. Yes its the 3/8" version that fits :)
David Heath Thanks so much David! Just got my GF in the mail and am anxious to get started! Just collecting all of the accessories currently 🍺
+Kevin Dillon Great stuff :) Welcome to the family :)
