Hey everybody welcome to Short Circuited Brewers
we are live today in Mike's basement
Kyle is working on wardrobe so we are
right in the middle of trying to mash
in we are going to mash in on Mike 130
AMP power grid crusher hopefully we
don't have a brownout and you know make
everything go dark while we're doing
this we started on what we're actually
working on is what we're calling the 130 AMP
IPA today and the grain bill on
that is 40 pounds of pale malt 30
pounds of Marris Otter, five pounds
of Carrapils and five pounds of Melanoiden Malt
isn't that a secret recipe now we're going to
publish it out there? who cares you know
everybody could brew it, drink it
with us whatever so then we've got a
crazy amount of hops going in and we've
got four and a half ounces
of summit going in that first wort hop
and we got three ounces of mosaic so
we're just going to be like a first wort
hop and then we're not going to add
anything else until the ends of boil just
because you know we want to be like a
kind of a hop bomb so really doing
3 oz of mosaics at the
15-minute mark three ounces of Citra
at ten minutes and then three ounces of
Galaxy at 5 minutes and then
we're going to dry hop like probably seven
ounces of dry hop after fermentation
is almost complete so all right so we're
going to do is going to pour it all the
grains into the mash tun and
then we're good to actually do
a technique called under letting wer
we
the let the water seeps up through the
grain and that kind of prevents dough
balls and stuck sparges and that sort of
thing so I know you guys have been
asking for a brew day video so you know we
wanted to try to be something live we're
you were also recording it we're going
to bring all this content on our YouTube
channel as well so you know we're we're
filming a lot here for facebook but we
are also filming you we're going to be
doing the whole episode on YouTube
itself so if you haven't subscribed
already get over there and subscribe
that hit the bell so you get notified
whenever this video goes up hopefully
should be within a week or so get all
the editing done all that's left to get
it up there what's in the bag? that is the Melanoiden and carapils s
I saw thatcoming! we have to get
Did you drop the scissors
in the keg?
you're killin me smalls oh my god
in the middle of mash in it's important
to have a fan on cause it creates a lot of dust
especially working in the basement of the
so I usually pour em in give a few
minutes for the dust to settle before
actually do anything to it yes
but the let things settle down to a degree
walk away it is not good to breathe in that
yeah absolutely not good to breathe it in at all
something at all make sure you have some
point of exhaust in your basement get
right exactly
Let's take a look in there
that is one full mash tun for sure no
doubt awesome all right well if you have
not subscribe to us already
subcribe to Kyle's face. [laugh] we are at youtube.com
shortcircuitedbrewers hit the subscribe
button be notified when we had some more
content going on
the air gets pushed out it's starting to
raise up a little bit yeah see the grain
starts to float up a little bit and
that's just the product of the water
underneath kind of underletting the
grain bed you can kind of see that and
then what we'll do at some point is will
have to kind of push down on the grain
bed so that it starts to soak of all the
mash water but looking pretty good so
far so everything's looking pretty good
yeah so Blichmann makes a little round steel
ball that fits on the end of the
recirculation hose in their system Mike
have a ghetto ghetto I cant afford that
that fancy stuff
we don't need no stainless steel He's got this system so
we're going to use a ziploc bag with a
rubber band really there's a couple of
shout outs that I wanted to do one of
them is to chip and brew, chip and brew?
Chop and Brew, Chip from Chop and Brew
did the hoppy New Year contest and we I
5 pounds of grain with help of my lovely
wife this behind the camera over there
not on camera and so we are using a
ton of the tops in the boil today
they're awesome they sent us these hats
and then Peter said
sorry if I missed but how are you under letting
yeah there is a there's a port
underneath the bottom here for the mash
tun and it actually is a bottom port on
there so that's what we did was we got
coming out of the out of the we heat it
up the water in the boil kettle and then
we just allowed us to come back over to
the mash tons on the bottom that's how we
did the under letting on so question
from David how long did we take that
system to bring the wort to a
boil? probably about what 30-40 minutes on
he did have to 35
seconds..[laughs] he
did have 2 six thousand watt
elements in here once on a time and it
actually at full power it would just
boil too much it almost like vaporizes
the wort believe it or not is up he
actually backed down to 2 5500 watt
element and then what kind of percentage do you
usually keep it on where you are doing the boil
usually about 50 percent
at what's tha about that's what about
11,000 watts so dropping 1000 watts
kinda help bring that down a little um
Sean said how many amps does that draw
at boil and can you run back-to-back
yes yeah his panel he's actually got
we'll show you real quick everything on there
so for the HLT it's drawing 50 which it
usually draws depending on 50 amp
depending on the voltage in the summer
it will drop a little bit of everybody's
running the air conditioner this is for
all the components the pump and if I
ever decide to do a rims which I'm not
going to and then that's what the boil
kettle only will pull about 44 amps
at full capacity and you got
three spa panels up there that actually
that's where your breakers
are you have some breakers inside yeah
three GFI's and then I've got the
internall breakers which I'll show later
yeah well we're going to we're going to
do a complete rundown on the system
we're going to open up the panel and
show everybody what's inside the but thats gonna
be that would be something for our
youtube channel so be sure and subscribe
to our youtube channel to stay up for
that content i'm using app on my phone
I've got all of the people that were
that did the comments in the video all
of them were in there got everybody i
think was about 25, 24, 25, people that did
it and so we will go ahead and choose
the winner now so without further ado drum roll
and the lucky winner is David
Hilbert come on down
pick you nose on camera, it's ok i do it all the time
this is Savannah yeah actually the mash paddle
video that he did it way back when she
was just about to be born whenever he
did that video.. I plan on carving this
in and burning the TV part in but I've
got a baby girl comer in a few days so
I'm going to put this project on
hold until a few weeks after she comes
what's up Riley, Riley just got a
haircut there now she's in the video
that was about the mash paddle we have fun
Oh watch out! Kyle's got crocs on I
don't think that's approved brewery wear but
[laughter] we'll know if,
if you hear him scream
why would you do that
stop it you're making the camera shake
is it even pumping?
Oh
and also I'm
yo
its coming to a boil ladies and gentlemen
edgewood near her old clothes over there
will cook you can't scare me
Naruto are lovely
alright so we reached the end of the
boil we are actually doing a whirlpool
now so Mike's getting some stuff cleaned
up for the fermenter and then we'll be
doing the counter flow chiller and then
we'll be dumping everything off into the
conical fermenter and jumping a big ol
bachy east on it and letting it rip so
we'll see you guys in a few all right
we're chilling we're just going down
quick return 60 degrees we're getting
ready to pitch this very pliable happy
fresh pic of you that was a whole thing
of east whatever I first got it and it
also down with the bottom for that case
now it was like completely chock-full of
active East and it should it should kick
off like almost immediately so I think
it's about 30 miles you'd probably like
30 in those white lamp miles I'd say
something like that Kyle header off
surprise so we're finishing at the brew
day and sweet up he's gonna come back
right yeah awfully they'll come back pal
we're expecting to come back clean up so
we appreciate you you know
and out the grain belt match because I'm
get on it yeah Luke give you a little
past but we expected from a clean up the
molten woke at a future will see you
cute right let's do it you like will I
never give him another there's a piece
of cake piece of pie piece of beer it's
a beer if I did you get a reach-in is
gonna reach all right
as I said we're going on
drivin for me oh that's my little
booklet look look
looks good everyone her name was a
success we wound up with about 3334
gallons in the fermenter 3434 yeah so we
sort our big batch of east on there we
were a little bit off on the gravity lil
bit low but i think we probably
responsible because we're going up a
little bit more and the walk out when we
intended but you know at the end of the
day it's still here so y'all just yes
