Foeder Guide Part 2 For Homebrewers

In part 2 of this Foeder guide series for homebrewers I share all processes in regards to wort transfer, fermentation and beer transfer to a corny keg. I also share details relating to what is coming next in this series.

Great video, Really looking forward to the solera project!

Fantastic series. I am very tempted to get myself a foeder but will await your solera guide as this is the area that interests me the most. Many thanks for the great information.

More mixed ferm sour content? Yes please!

Awesome video ! Co fermentation and sour beer is very cool 😎 i’d also be curious to see some historic recipes fermented in barrels. I’m not sure if I would like the beer but I like the idea 🍻

David, How will you be sure that all the saison and kveik yeast will not influence or overrule other brews fermenting with other yeasts?

Very nice and informational video David. Is it enough to insert just a few liter of sanitiser for cleaning?

Great video series - really enjoy your videos as you seem to always cover the additional questions I would otherwise have. I've been keen on starting a solera sour base for a while now as I generally like to fruit my sour beers as the different fruit come into season. I also want to have a more authentic base beer. How do you think the large 55l fermzilla would fare with some oak staves thrown in? Would the plastic eventually taint the beer? I figured the conical shape one with the dump valve would be best as I could dump trub after a top up. Cheers.

When "topping up" the foeder when using it in the solera fashion do you pitch more yeast each time or rely on the yeast still in the foeder?

I would be interested in how one would go about making a true wild beer with the highest change of a good result.
And is there any way to reproduce the current mixed ferm in a future beer?
I tought about adding wood chips in small batches of DME solution set out in the wild and then eiter adding the whole liquid with the chips in a full batch or just the chips in a similar way as i understand kveik is traditionally used.
I’m still new to the hobby, so there might be an obvious misunderstanding in my idea, so i would appreciate if you could set the record straight.

Great Video! Are you concerned about too much oak flavour in the upcoming solera, on your foeders second use? I've been using a barrel to age stouts and can only leave them in for about a month before the oak flavour becomes overpowering.

That thing is pretty cool! Do you think it would be good for other styles? Cheers David! 👍🍻

[dionpeoples]

Awesome! Did you dump the yeast or are you transferring the next batch in on the cake?

Far out Dave wax your arms mate. Would give my left nut for a foeder and a climate that wouldn’t f the whole thing (Australia, climate, shit). Looking forward to seeing the progress in the future, cheers
