It is time to bring out the dancing girls for an end of year message that looks back at 2019 and forwards to 2020.

It is time for an educational video that looks at SMASH (single malt and single hop) beers. This video will guide you through designing SMASH beers with key advice around the "do's and don'ts". I also put forward why this type of recipe is so useful to those of all experience levels as well as how it can be used as a template for spontaneous brewing. I also include a SMASH beer recipe example of my own for reference. Here is that recipe:- Citra Smash APA - 6% Created with Brewfather and shared Publicly Brewfather recipe link:- https://share.brewfather.app/m0K2w7ypuCNN1j Author: David Heath Type: All Grain IBU : 35 (Tinseth) Color : 11 EBC Original Gravity : 1.049 Final Gravity : 1.003 Brewing system used:- 65L Brewzilla Batch Size : 20 L Will work fine with other brewing systems capable of 20L and can be converted to any desired volume in Brewfather brewing software or similar.

It is time for another educational video and this one concerns the recent studies and discussion around kveik yeast and its pitching rate. This video starts with background information before looking at the recent published studies by Escarpment Labs and Brülosophy. I hope you find this video entertaining, useful and enjoyable. Here are links to both articles online:- http://brulosophy.com/2019/11/25/yeast-pitch-rate-impact-of-underpitching-kveik-yeast-exbeeriment-results/?fbclid=IwAR1QzDjssZX85MXgmy7mdvaw0xVK65J5e1HF4u6ldbn6DlwcTl1am6glfg0 https://www.escarpmentlabs.com/single-post/2019/11/01/The-impact-of-pitch-rate-on-kveik-ferments?fbclid=IwAR0-9TZeXgrxD8y0Sqim6PvB_emmiL-aIARnEXmuT5iqjQXRtQz_1_ks8n4 Channel links:- facebook.com/groups/Brewbeer https://www.teespring.com/stores/david-heath-homebrew Introduction music:- Drink Beer (Till The Day That I Die) by Dazie Mae

It is time for a video that will give the homebrewing public an insight into the worlds largest drink trade event, the BrauBeviale which was held in Nuremberg in Germany this year in the middle of November. This event is very beer focussed and I am sure many will find this interesting. I have ensured that the focus is from a homebrewers perspective of course. Here I bring a general insight into what can be seen at the event along with news from some companies at the event including Fermentis.

It is time for my final review of the Fermzilla after much testing. I have tested it in every way that it can be used and I feel that I have found its pros and cons during this time. This video is set out to explain all of this in balance so that people can take a fully informed look and add this into their own consideration. I hope this video gives you all the information you are looking for when combined with all the information contained in my previous preview video. If, after watching both of these videos you have any questions then do let me know. Feedback is always appreciated.

This is the second part in my new series that looks at specific types of kveik that are highly recommended. This one was known as "Saure" kveik until about 18 months ago and is now known as "Tormodgarden". This is a very special kveik for various reasons which are explained in this video. I worked with the kveik owner to gain its history and lots of other inside information about this very old, special and versatile mix of yeast strains. Included in this video is information from the kveik registry but also much more information that I feel gives people everything they need for full assessment before, during and after use. I also give information on how you can obtain this kveik directly from the source.

It is time for a much needed educational video to assist users of kveik yeast. This video concerns itself with the practices needed to get the best results from this magic yeast. This has become all the more necessary with commercial isolate strains being sold with very poor advice in the open market. This video provides key information relating to pitching rates and how to take care of your kveik for the future. I do hope it proves useful for you all and leads the way into experiencing the very best results.

It is a point of fact that many homebrewers are oxidising their beers without realising it because they drink them before the full onset of staleness takes hold. Much better tasting beers can be enjoyed from the start by using techniques that either reduce or fully remove oxygen. This video looks at this effect and presents solutions for all, which I hope prove useful for the community.

This video looks at pressure fermentation in easy guide form so that no matter what your background is you should come away from watching it with a good understanding of the topic. This video gives key advice as to how to apply this to your fermentations along with lots of information as to why you would want to and what you will need to get started. It does not have to be expensive either and you might find that you already have much of what is needed already.

It is time to start a new series of videos where I will recommend different types of kveik yeast. This first video is all about the kveik yeast I recommend the most - Voss Gjernes kveik. I go into its history, the farm version and a selection of common commercial isolate versions giving key information to help the viewer on their kveik journey. Whilst it is great to see so many people using this yeast now there is still much misunderstand and misinformation out there and I hope this new series of videos will help people get the best results.

Very few of us are rich, so it was about time to address this issue around budget options. This guide is aimed at experienced and new homebrewers. This video does not go into detail about anything, it covers a lot of topics quickly giving key information about each. It looks at all aspects of brewing that cost money from equipment to ingredients. I really wanted this to include some short basic information about brewing and fermentation also to hopefully encourage more people to brew at the same time. Even if you are already brewing you might find some of those short parts interesting also. Brewing does not have to be expensive and I hope this video goes so way to open this up to people of all levels.

This channels group, which is aptly named "DAVID HEATH HOMEBREW GROUP" is simply brewing specific, just like this youtube channel. It is a place where mature, friendly and like minded people can connect, ask questions, share thoughts and ideas and also help me shape my video content more closely than before with my audience. People of all experience levels are very welcome and we firmly believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid answers.
