1:10 Lager yeast doesn't "need" cooler temperature in order to reproduce, but most often fermented at cold temperatures to inhibit the production of esters. Anchorage Brewing had a long tradition of fermenting lager yeast at the same temperature as ale yeast, which is why it was called a "steam beer".
3:36 When it's going to be used in brewing it's called "malt" because it has gone through a malting process which provokes the barley to undergo a portion of the germination process but is halted shortly after it begins to sprout. Mass market lagers, such as Bud, use rice or corn as a portion of their grist bill for the purpose of providing additional nutrients to the yeast and it provides a cleaner taste in the finished product.
5:25 generally speaking only Czech Pilsners are known for have a pronounced hop character to other lagers. There are also German Pilsners which are generally pretty similar to American lagers, specifically Yuengling and Budweiser not Bud light, because German immigrants came to America and opened giant lager breweries.
very cool info! thanks for the lessons!
Of course!
Don’t undersell yourself, man. You definitely have great knowledge on the topic and know more than most! Great vid!
Thanks!
Good summary!

5:29 you left out, although I can't blame you, Ranchbier which is a lager brewed with smoked malt. It is a lager brewed specifically to bamburg
Rauchbier from Bamberg. Quite a niche style. Good stuff though.@@TexasRed141
Thanks Chris, I enjoy good beer too!
What about a 12oz pour 5ABV ale. That’s not a lager. 🤔
