Today I’ve got a couple of homebrew-themed videos to share. One is a recipe for juicy NE-style IPA, another is a brew-off comparison.

Juicy NEIPA – Homebrew Beer Recipe – Aug. 1, 2018 – 10:23

The New England IPA has become a really popular beer recently, so we decided to brew up a Juicy NEIPA that really shows off the best parts about this style of beer. Note, if we brewed this recipe again, we’d omit the lemon drop hops. Read the full recipe details on our website for more info.

Granted, this is posted by a homebrew supply business so there’s a little bit of selling, but overall I found it pretty interesting. And I hadn’t seen this type of brew system before—basically, Brew-in-a-Bag but with a metal basket. They also hit the marks for technique for brewing the style—high protein grains, all late-addition hopping (with a lot of hops), dry hopping while primary fermentation is still taking place, and plenty more dry hopping.

Brewing the same beer on $300 v $3000 systems – Nov. 29, 2017 – 9:00

We took two all-grain homebrew systems and brewed the same batch of beer on both – a London Porter. See brew day and our blind taste test to identify which beer brewed which system.

$3000 system featured is the electric Blichmann BrewEasy.

This is fascinating from an experimental/scientific homebrewing standpoint. I’m a little concerned that their final gravities were so high, which means under attenuated and sweet final beers (as well as low alcohol), which makes me wonder about the yeast, but in general this is the kind of fun experiment idea that homebrew clubs can (and should!) undertake.
