It is time to present my first impressions video for the freshly released (in some markets) Grainfather G70. Unlike the sponsored videos out there already this video provides much more information about the pros and cons of this system in the sort of detail I believe is needed for a product of...

This is not something I have tried or have heard of anyone trying.

It is time for a product video and this one concerns the Kegmenter. This is a multipurpose unit that can be used for regular & pressure fermentation, beer serving, distilling, brewing and more besides. I have used this already with no issues but wish to test it further before I make a final...

Hi Rich, A Keg or a Carboy are ideal. You need to protect it from oxidisation.

It is possible for the future :)

Great to hear. Its a great style that really deserves peoples attention :)

It brews a good fish and chips :P

I did have one for evaluation but that has gone back to the company now. I would be happy to help though if needed. I made a few different videos around it.

Happy new year! It is time for a new educational beer style guide video and I am starting 2020 with a big one, the English barley wine. This video guide begins with the history then moves onto BJCP style notes and a recipe writing section before I share my own tried and tested recipe along with...

Ive got one of those Philips air fryers. It was not cheap but its great for quick cooking and the taste is very good.

Sure. I mostly top crop to ensure the yeast is at its healthiest point, which i believe is key. I have not rehydrated yeast in anything but wort for a very long time. I pitch direct to wort. If I want to give it a head start then I transfer some wort after mash out and let it cool and then pitch...

Viability is something you have to estimate when you are reculturing so I apply that to what I pitch according to age and also how I am storing it. You gain a nice boost to this by drying. Yes, ive done this with liquid and dry yeast.

So far ive found that this works with yeast in general. Ive had success with farm kveik, kveik isolates from labs, Fermentis yeast and MJ yeast of various different types. The important thing is to keep everything clean and sanitary.

Yes, more than likely Lee :)

For some types this will be no issue...just a waste of yeast :)

It is time for another educational video and this one concerns the recent studies and discussion around kveik yeast and its pitching rate. This video starts with background information before looking at the recent published studies by Escarpment Labs and Brülosophy. I hope you find this video...

Haha no problem, if you think it will help your case :)

Hmm. Its like anything else, cars for example. Some may be happy with something budget. It will take you from A to B. But for those that can afford more they can choose for a better experience. It is fair to say that buying a more expensive system will not brew better beer than a cheaper one...

Thanks Clint, yes I sure did!

Many thanks, much appreciated. Yes there sure was! Such a vast place. Hopefully dry kveik will be available in more countries in 2020.
