Brewing Beer Recipes For The Intended Result

It is time for an educational video to help brewers translate 3rd party recipes from books, webpages and so on into a form that will lend itself to the intended recipe within the brewing stages. It has come to my attention in the past months that quite afew people new and experienced are missing key knowledge in how apply recipes fully.
In this guide I take you through the entire process with hints and tips along the way.
I do hope that it helps many of you out. Do not assume that you have it right until you watch.

You are the David Attenborough of home brewing ! Such informative and easy flowing information. Keep it up!

I started to brew in the beginning of this year. Got a cheap kit from a friend as a christmas gift and it escalated out of control immediately. By now, my whole apartment is a brewhouse! I even cleaned out my storage room (at last) and made it into a "conditioning room".



Davids lessons, as I see them, are priceless. It has been my primary source of knowledge about this craft from the beginning and will so be in the furutre as long he posting new content!


On topic Im a quite rebellious newbie and like to experiment a lot and not follow recipes word by word. Of course some "compositions" turned out...interesting but learning by mistakes are quite powerful as well when developing a broader understanding about all factors that make a superior beer...i think. Anyway, Its fun as he...avens doing this.


Cheers!

Very good video explaining some important details when adding recipes!

[ShortCircuitedBrewers]

Great video. Adjustments of your recipe are the only way to repeat results in the final product. Especially with hops. Unless you buy a large quantity of what you are using, it will almost always have to be adjusted based on the hops you get. Cheers! 👍🍻

Another great video David, I’m glad I have been on the right path! Cheers mate!

[marvinwright]

Thanks Dave for the very informative video. One I will use often.

Very helpful and just in time for me, just been working on my first AG recipe and using Brewfather so doubly helpful, cheers

[Zandebrew]

[justinhewson]

Thanks very much for this David, I just wish I had it a few months ago!

[mzmagister]

Excellent as expected. Still waiting for my personal lesson from you as my guest in switzerland :)

Super video, always interesting to follow you :)

[yannicksimard]

David, I understand that you use Brewfather from now. Do you put your recipies on the GrainFather software as well so we can find them still? I do not brew as much as you do and the Grainfather software and recipe share library is still handy for my personnal usage... and I am sure that I am not alone in this case. Numerous amateur homebrewers follow your tips and advises as well as your recipes...

'Beer God 2019', I'm locking than in, lol.

Grain Absorption Rate: I find that the default values in the Grainfather software versus the Brewfather GF profile are wildly different. Makes a big difference in the water quantity calculations. What are you using for Grain Absorption Rate?

[jamesgoacher]

:-) It is interesting that you remain with 23L (5 Imperial Gallons) and not 25L a nice round number :-). Other than that how do you judge the opened (vacuum Seal) pack of hops with an opened one, even one which has been closed tightly? I am moving to using my Food Saver Vacuum Sealer to do short term seal of the Mylar bag within a standard sealer bag. I do not use pellets very often because I like the hop bed filtering action and have only had limited success with "Whirl Pooling". I use a GrainFather and I believe that the Pump draws the Pellet Hop debis towards it and I am struggling to counter this. I am wandering off-topic, sorry. I found the video and commentary interesting and useful.

Hey David..I got a Grainfather unit (110V) a little less than a year ago (Jan 2021), and have made about 12 different brews, all using kit purchases and associated GF software. They have turned out very well for sure. Do you know if the GF software has been updated and corrected since after this video was made (as comments mention the conversion errors on the GF recipe software). I want to start getting away from the complete kit brewing approach, , and would like to use a conversion software for my GF that is fairly accurate. Any comments would be very helpful! Thanks!

[marcarch]

Great video David! Thank you very much for sharing your brewing wisdom. As always I have learned very good staff watching your video.

[Dts]

Brilliant David !
I have been working on my recipes recently and use the Brewers Friend App! This has helped me greatly and made me understand how to work out recipes from given percentages of grain and hop IBUs to aim for.
Thank you sir!👍👍👍

[mardanheddeokwa]

Clear information David, thanks. Now I'm gonna try to do that in my brewingsoftware. It is called 'brouwhulp' and later in brewfather.

[davidmontero]

Thanks David! Could you please tell me the name of the software you normally use?
