Mate I've got my work cutout for me in the new year! Two more of your recipes to play with. As I said on other thread, your tropical pale ale is now ready to dry hop! (Over on Twisted Magpie Homebrewery ) if I don't message you ova the holiday, happy Xmas n new year pal. Bri

I hope you are feeling well. I have been researching this style for the past several weeks, so I was happy to see your video post. Thank you very much for this informative and (as always) excellent style coverage and recipe. I will be brewing soon. Cheers!🍻

[JimFosterVO]

I've not heard of this style before, but it looks like a fun one to try. Thanks for sharing!

Hi David. I have been silent for a while, brewing beer instead of asking stupid questions ;-). Time passed since march and we are at batch #23. Again I am grateful for all the knowledge, information and recipe you share with us. I have brewed this beer a month ago and it has been a huge hit. I had many clogging issues during my brew day and my first conclusion was at the time that I would not brew it again. But due to the so good reception among friends I will find ways to brew it again.
Again, Thank you!. Cheers!

[MrHernandezMarquez]

So I just kegged this exact recipe and will confirm its delicious. Thank you David! I don't know if it was the Metallica but hit your numbers precisely and it tastes delicious. Fermented with 11g of dried Lutra direct pitched at 105F, kept it at 90F, done in 2 days. Thank you David! One of the best I've ever made.

[marekrossi]

I brewed it and it’s so good. And the clarity is amazing.

[wollewolfram]

This seems very nice for summer, definitely going to try it.

[ruanmuller]

I made an International "styled" lager with a similar grain bill. The maize gave it a silky and smooth taste. I took popcorn kernels and malted it myself. I really enjoyed it.

[worachaikyt-kvun]

Temp for dry hop is the same of temp ferment (30'c lutra yeast)​, right?

[KMENilsson]

Thank you ever so much for sharing your knowledge and recipes. The only brew channel I am watching every episode of :)
One question; what would be the drwaback with Lutra/30deg + pressure fermentation with this?
Keep up the good work!

[PartyTimeBrewing]

Awesome overview, I've only done it once so far, but I do like the Cold IPA. Next time I will have to follow your recipe, especially with the hop amounts and types. I tend to cheap out and only used Cascade on my batch. Thanks for another great vid!

[liammcdevitt]

Hi David,
What other kviek yeast could I use? I can't get omega. Want to do a brew over Xmas with family home and be able to drink it before they go back to Oz ... Thanks

[mpc]

David, your thoughts on adding gelatin to the fermenter to further clarify? Before you add the dry hops?

[jamesward]

18th! Good advice and recipe. I made mine with a little higher abv 9.2%, rice instead, similar hot side hops but then simcoe, Vic secret and comet dry hop. Was a shockingly drinkable dipa that felt like a piney grapefruit cloud. Currently experimenting with doing APA using lager yeasts and it’s creating excellent results too

[secretariaatltvlaatjeskaai]

Hello everybody

Can someone tell me what I shoot do after the 7 days of headyeast? Howlong the afteryeasting for days and what tempature is the best for this. Thx

[liammcdevitt]

Hi David,
So I've made this for a second time. This time I'm keg hopping. How's long would you leave in the hop tube?
Also I ran out of Chinook and substituted with Columbus in the dry hop, that should be ok🙏?

[nicholaslambrechts]

Hi David, thanks for sharing this recipe. I'm setting up to brew this shortly, but needed your opinion on a concern I have. With your dry hopping at 30 degrees C (with 5 points to go), do you find this to be at all detrimental to the flavour, in comparison to dry hopping at say 16 degrees?

[robertostensson]

Thank you David as always you done a great video.
I have a question about the dryhop though, did you add the whole addition for keghop and had it for weekend or even a months?
As you sad that it was an alternate of dryhop.

[roryscarlett]

Great looking beer style. With the Saflager, is it standard lager pitching rates?

[fotisstavrou]

Great job as always. just a question though. isn't it a little bit too dark for a 80%base malt 20% flaked corn beer that was boiled for 30 minutes?
