you guys have phenomenal videos, all styles, all lengths, very watchable!

[NorthsiderCycle]

Would love to see a dry hopping technique video for both IPA & NEIPA 🙏

[ejmillion]

Great video guys, keep them coming. Winter here in Australia but when spring gets here a big west coast IPA will be on the cards. 🍻

Always great advice very timely brewing a west coast next thanks for the tips 😎

Great video. Short, sweet, and succinct. I'd love to see videos like this on more obscure or older styles. I've been trying to dial in a German Roggenbier recipe that I think would be good for the summer with it dry character and banana notes. I would love to see your take.

Really liked this style informative and succinct

great video, loving this series of PERFECT recipes

You guys are radical. I’d love to see you tackle a Belgian IPA. I’ve tried a few times but haven’t hit it right where I want. I had Stone’s Cali-Belgique in mind while going for the flavors.

I know a lot of people have asked about ascorbic acid, how much, and what it's for...but from my understanding, it can work against you due it creating peroxide free radicals and actually causing increased oxidation. When LODO brewers talk about using it it is typically used in conjunction with K or Na metabisulfite so that those peroxides have something to bind to. This combination is supposedly the way to go. What are your thoughts on this? And have you ever done a side by side with ascorbic vs non-ascorbic beer?

Best thing to happen to my West Coast IPAs was the removal of caramel/crystal malts. Adding a touch of white wheat is also appropriate.

Love A15. It's my SMaSH yeast :). Great level of info packed in this one. Thanks guys

[helloiamlost]

this video is great! Would love a video on making a scottish heather ale

[athr]

Great vid, bit rushed at points! Would be great to see you guys to a Belgium 😁

[patfase]

how much ascorbic acid do you add to the mash? Does this replace any addition of phosphoric acid or acidulated malt that one might use?

[striker]

Would love to see a Belgian Blond. With perhaps a tangent on the fermentation of high ABV beers?

[nathanbridges]

Hey mate your saying after fermentation I should crash it and then dry hop for 3 days at 2 degrees c and then keg?

[robertr]

Q from a newbie: do you use a hop bag when you dry-hop, and if so, how do you sanitize? Tnx--great vid

[homebrewlife]

Jealous of that fermenter at the end too

[anthonyhernandez]

When you talk about adding dextrose to bump up the ABV, would this work for a stout too. Maybe design the recipe with malts up to about 6.5% ABV and add dextrose to achieve the higher ABV?

I have an excellent, complex RIS recipe but it's a little sweet. OG was 1.10 and FG was 1.030. Wondering if the dextrose would help eliminate the sweetness and achieve a lower FG?
