This is a response video to TakeSomeAdvice who makes a subtle claim that you can’t achieve a decent head and lace from a can of Cooper’s malt extract. Clearly, from this video, a properly brewed home brew kit can produce great results, including head retention and lace. The question is, do these things really tell the story about how good the beer is? Here is the link to the FAQ where you’ll find the article on boiling the Cooper’s extract: coopers.com.au Should I boil the kit to remove break? We brew beer, malt extract and home brew worts in the same way. All worts are boiled and produce hot break, which is then removed in the whirlpool. Rather than being cooled down for fermentation, the malt extract and home brew worts are centrifuged and transferred to evaporators where all but around 20% of the water is removed. At this stage the malt extract and home brew is packaged then cools down but does not throw cold break material because the extract is too dense for it to precipitate. Once you add water, the wort becomes thin enough for the break material to precipitate. This break material is completely harmless to the brew and will settle out during fermentation. If boiled the break material may clump together giving the impression, incorrectly, that it is hot break. Boiling home brew (hopped malt extract) will only darken the brew and drive off hop aroma. However, if you are following a specific recipe and using additional hops, you may like to boil some of the malt …

Used my collected and filtered Hurricane Alex rainwater to make Banks’s Mild Ale, all-grain, via Brew in a Bag (BIAB or BIB). This is not a video on how to brew all-grain, instead I intended to cover a few recently discussed topics. I did a brief reply to TSA’s Thermometer Showdown, using the thermometer he says is the best, the CDN DTQ450X in comparison to the Blichmann Brewmometer on my kettle. One of the reasons I chose Banks’s Mild Ale for this brew is that it contains 1/2 pound of flaked barley. Yartp had told me that with BIAB that he did not think non-malted grains would convert from starch to sugar. So in this video, I put it to the test. BTW, I hit my OG (original gravity) right on the nose, 9 brix, 1.034 SG (specific gravity). Jaygnar and Mattsarg have been going through some video discussion and testing of Starsan using various waters, to see if it works in various ph ranges and also to see if it leaves a film behind. In this video, I test a clear glass soaking in my Starsan using RO (reverse osmosis) water. And finally, I show my new pre-chiller wort chiller in action for the first time. It definitely worked to get my wort chilled quicker, even on this 100F day. It enabled me to get my wort down even further, below 80F. But near the bottom end, the temperature dropped VERY SLOWLY.
