MELCHESTER BREWERY - How it works: feat. QUEEN ANNE.

- Опубліковано 28 тра 2023
- The Metcalfe card model brewery is a prominent feature on my model railway. I often wondered how it would operate in reality so this video presents a summation of my research into just what goes on to produce a pint of beer.
Starting in the barley fields around Melchester, farmer Barleymo transports his harvest to the brewery. The small Ruston 48ds shunter "Queen Anne" is the ideal locomotive to operate in the small siding that runs into the brewery. She shunts the loaded Allsopp's beer van into the BR goods yard ready for it to be collected by a pick-up goods train.
At the end of a long day farmer barleymo heads down to his local for some well earned refreshment!
Special thanks to my friend Hiromitsu Maeda for singing the song "Queen Anne" by Peter Warlock while I accompany him on the harpsichord. - Авто та транспорт
I have enjoyed your video and it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my modelling I mention my illness so you know who is watching and why I was building the brewery as a whisky distillery when my head blew a. Fuse😂
Watching these videos
I have had an idea how to make
a copper still for the still house 😂thanks to e😅
Thank-you so much, sorry to hear about your serious health issues, but so pleased to hear you are on the road to recovery, and that you've enjoyed this video and found it helpful. I really enjoyed researching about breweries and making this video.
This is by far the best video I have seen. Everything is absolutely spot-on. The music, some Welsh, the layout and our favourite place ro visit the BREWERY. Detail including steaming traction engine, and Scammell Scarab,s one old and one new. I worked for Scammell early 80s for 5yrs. Your description of the brewing process was 2nd to none . Commentary relaxed, but your enthusiasm shone through. Very few men can lift a full barrel of good stuff on his own. A masterpiece !!😮 Thanks me son. Dave
Cheers Dave! So glad you enjoyed the video - it was a bit of a labour of love but well worth it.
Dave again. Must ad , the stop animation and that lovely Ruston loco with Diesel racket were also great. Again thanks.
I like the stop frame animation that you've been working on well done
Thank you for watching.
Congratulations on your imaginative, informative and entertaining video - thank you.
Thank you very much for watching, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
As ever, a simply stunning film with its amazing story! I love your videos. Regards, Eric.
Thanks Eric.
You have an incredible layout so highly detailed.
Thank you very much.
Simply brilliant 👏 👏👏👏
Thanks Paul.
great clip. Editing is done very well including all the details! great music too!
Thanks very much!
I don't know what it is but I quite fancy an ale! Superb animated story.
Very well done love your videos those Rustons are lovely little engines.
Thank you Richard! I love the Ruston too, and such a good model from Hornby.
@@melchestermodelrailway They certainly are pity Hornby have not updated the L&Y Pugs.
An absolutely charming video.
Thanks @kellypaws. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@melchestermodelrailway UA-cam is a cynical thing. There are channels out there with 10 times the subscribers, because the channel owner has pushed their partner (or whatever) into the limelight, with their tops pulled well down for the thumbnail. But essentially there is no content, and terrible layouts.
Then your channel with a lovely layout, real care and attention in making the video and very few subscribers.
It really is cynical.
Well, I commend your work. It’s genuinely lovely. And so is your organ playing as I recall. A man of considerable talent and thankfully restraint and taste.
@@kellypaws Thank you, I spent a long time building the layout so its nice that people seem to like it, and occasionally leave such kind comments as yours - perhaps if I ever get to 1000 subscribers, I'll film a layout tour. I've been fairly lucky with this particular video as youtube seem to have promoted it more than usual - not sure how that works - but that seems to be what has happened, and I gained about 40 new subscribers since posting it, which is amazing for my channel.
I do play the organ - as you mentioned - but in this video there is a part where I'm playing the Harpsichord for a change, with a friend singing an amusing song about Queen Anne!
very very nice work ! cheers from germany.
Thanks very much. Prost!
Great explanation of how the brewery works and a fantastic layout, love the animation
Thankyou for watching, glad you enjoyed the video.
This is an amazing video. Began off rather charming with the familiar Metcalfe brewery kit and the delights of the English countryside.
All jolly good, then we started getting into a rather wonderful, detailed mini doco on the workings, really well portrayed with the cuts to period engravings and the like.
Really appreciate the time and effort you took to do all this, especially relating the prototype to model form, and it just makes it so much better to have meaning with the architecture rather than a random collection of buildings and a sign that says beer.
Cheers. Awesome.
Just been rewatching it a few times and theres really some viewing involved. At around the 4min mark the guys rolling the barrel with some rather special animation, but you've got the figures in situation correct poses. You've really done some special work in this video. It's genuinely a joy (and informative) video to watch
Thank you so much for your very kind comments. I really enjoyed making this video.
Nice video and animation.
A couple of the brewing steps are a bit shortened and merged together, but good work on the general process. 👍
Great layout too
Cheers.
Thanks, I did wonder how well my research would come across as it's not a subject I knew anything about, but found the entire process of researching very intriguing once I started looking into it.
@@melchestermodelrailway it is an interesting process.
Your research created a good story.
The partly germinated grain is "roasted" or "toasted" to various levels to make the malt. The darker the "roasting" the darker the beer. In the breweries of today that is generally not done at the brewery though.
The spent grain and hops are extracted together after the boil and usually used as animal feed today.
Not sure about back then but probably the same, the wort is transferred to the fermenters through a heat exchanger after the boil to drop the temperature quickly and the yeast added straight away.
The wort needs to be run through sterile or santised equipment to avoid infection. The key to good beer is clean equipment. The hot liqour tank is a key part of the process here obviously.
It's interesting. A 25 litre home brew usues the same process as a 3000 litre commercial brew and takes the same amount of time throughout the process.
Your process was enough for non brewing lay people.
Good work.
Lovely demonstration. Also, what's the organ music you use?
Thankyou, the music is from Elgar's 2nd Organ sonata.
This just popped up on my feed, what a entertaining and informative video. I love the animation and now I know how a brewery works.
On another note where did you get that fat controller from?
Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed it. Well done for spotting the Fat Controller down at the Duke of York during Happy Hour! He's part of the mini Thomas Capsule wind-up plarail system, which is now mostly only available from Japan. Here is a link to the seller in Japan where I purchased mine. He fits in quite nicely with OO gauge. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314629530326?hash=item494161a2d6:g:IVoAAOSwDwdkfNab
@@melchestermodelrailway he does I was quite impressed about how well he fitted in, thanks for the link.
Well, we binge watched most of your back catalogue, and this morning I am idly wondering what's happening at Melchester and hoping for another video soon.
And also, how about a request? One upbeat video with Widor as accompaniment and perhaps a dark wartime video with Passacaglia and Fugue.
Oh, but what kind of video for Elizabethan Serenade? (None at all cries a cynical audience.)
Some great music requests there @kellypaws. Widor is a great idea and something I always play on Easter Sunday so I'm sure it might appear in a video at some point! The Serenade would be fitting music for a video about the Elizabethan train; the only problem is it didn't run on the Southern - maybe an idea there for somebody else. I'm currently making videos about new coaching stock and the Atlantic Coast Express, so watch this space.
@@melchestermodelrailway Very much looking forward to it already.
