In this episode of Quality Focus Pro Brewers, Hendo from Rockstar Brewer Academy explains why your beer might lack that professional polish, even if you follow conventional wisdom. Hendo reveals that sticking with outdated rules and oversimplifications from traditional brewing guidance might be holding your beer back.

Dive in to learn about the modern approach to brewing, including debunking myths around mash and boil times, sparge water temperatures, yeast handling, lager fermentation temperatures, and the obsession with IBUs. This episode is a must-watch if you want to elevate your brewing skills from following recipes to understanding the 'why' behind the process, making decisions like a seasoned brewer, and ultimately creating unforgettable beer.

📌 In this video you will learn

✅ Why the classic 60 minute mash and 60 minute boil are often unnecessary with modern highly modified malt and how to mash a little hotter a little shorter until conversion is done

✅ How to control DMS through proper wort pH around 5.4 and open boiling rather than extending boil time by default

✅ Why pH and gravity at the end of lautering drive tannin extraction more than sparge temperature and how to use a pH meter and stop runnings at safe cutoffs

✅ How simple yeast harvesting and repitching can slash costs from about 20 dollars per keg to about 50 cents per keg without a full micro lab by using solid sanitation a microscope and a hemocytometer

✅ How to ferment clean lagers faster with 34 70 at warmer temps around 15 C to 17 C to finish in weeks not months

✅ Why IBUs are a lab number not a flavor target and how water profile sulfate to chloride hop timing and dry hop rates shape perceived bitterness better than chasing a single IBU value
