Like the brewing of the beer and the tasting straight after. 👍

[Brokkolesz]

Percentages are very helpful, thanks!

Take those vents out, they are generally a fine gauze (not in your case) for catching grease. They are a big mass of cold metal that I think will always condensate. Ensure the vent tube is as big as possible 6” normally, with limited bends and a short run - looks like you have these things. If you can get a sheet of paper to stick to the underside you have good suction. You could bring it lower with a plywood box mounted to the ceiling, Ive had to do that before on those kind of island hoods. Finally check there’s no carbon filters screwed onto the intake, they will slow the flow too and it’s pointless filtering the air before you pump in outside.

Very thankful for keeping the grist in percentages. Bittering hops in ibu is fine. Maybe it is an idea to present flameout or dry hops as grams per liter or ounce per gallon?

[joshuarinehart]

The duct off of the hood is graded backwards. Which helps cause heat rises but any condensation that builds up in the duct will drain back to the hood. Anyways, really enjoy the videos. Learning a lot.

Hey man, your channel is amazing. Your videos are clean. An advice from a civil enginner, two bolts to hold the pulley chains might be not enough. But if they are going through the wood beam and and hold by nut and steel plate, that’s ok.

Not only in these times: Your videos are so great!
Stay healthy!

Very good beer, easy to make, i do it every year. I use only EKG hops ( inc. dry hopping). I do 13 Plateau degree beer. Never get enough of this style.

[vikramjitsingh]

Its one fine english ale you have shud go pro for the and stay

[pasolano]

Your videos are great man!!! Thank you for the help!!

Hey Martin, you probably fixed this long ago, but I just watched your efforts with the extraction hood. In ancient Pompeii, the ceilings of the steam rooms were fluted and vaulted to capture the condensation and let it run down to the walls and not drop on the patrons. You could angle the filter plates and have the drips run towards the wall to be collected in a channel and piped down to a container !?

Great video! English IPAs are amazing.

I adjust all the recipes I see in books, mags, online etc to suit my system, efficiency and volumes. So percentages are very useful. Pounds and ounces for a five gallon batch at 75% efficiency is only a starting point for litres and grams for a 25 litre batch at 80% efficiency. It would be very useful to do end of boil hops and dry hops in ounces per gallon and grams per litre. Thanks very much for an excellent series.

Loving this channel during lockdown. Very well done on the production and pace of these videos. I’m also brewing once a week during lockdown although, not quite as organised as yourself. Need to move to half batches so I don’t use up all my bottles and kegs. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing you do a traditional Scottish beer. Something like a belhaven best.

[fredodupoux]

I use the same brewing system, You should use two pulleys one by the hook on top and keep the ratchet one at the bottom it will make it much easier to lift that grain bag. Also use a silicone or cork mat between your kettle and table so you don’t transfer the kettles heat to your table. Keep the videos coming, I’m loving it.

[skyedew]

English IPA's are one of my favorite styles, Martin! But the whole ship thing is a marketing legend.

[nordlands]

You should look into getting a steam hood, which has a gutter/folded edge with a drain for the condensation.

[dennisschickling]

Hope that you have a Great EASTER. This sounds Great. #STAYSAFE

[donluidzi]

Finally IPAaayay and I always take my grills off before the brewing. Just drop them to the side for entire brewing and put them back on as soon as you finish. Keep up the good job mate.

Greetings from a fellow Brit, great video as always full of tips and clear advice, thanks for your time and effort :)
