    So much to love about this video folks! The openness about the processes, the insane attention to detail to every part of the brewery... but also that statement about the importance of making sensory decisions on the fly even amongst the automation and how nerdy Nate is about all the stuff we don't even think to ask about on brewery tours! Explain a lot about how great your beers are.

    Awesome beer and brewery. Would love to see/hear your experience growing from a 10 gallon to 5 BBL both in terms of learning to brew on a larger system and the growing pains along the way

      I'm not sure if we will get to a video, but I will say that scaling grain is relatively linear, as is water treatment and yeast pitching. . . hop additions vary from system to system, but after a batch or two it's easy to work it out. It seemed intimidating to us, and I understand it's intimidating to many, but if you have your process locked in and you understand the fundamentals it's quite easy.

    You mentioned how the water in southbridge has a small amount of chlorine. Does southbridge have fluoride in the water?

    This might be the greatest thing you’ve done since you started making beer. Love the mix of overview and detail. Would love to see more basic overview information and then drive down to some of the details. You’re level of “excitement” for hops was hilarious! Please keep these coming without giving away any of you’re “secrets”. Thank You for making the best beer in the world.

    I remember one of the last trips to Monson with my brother, before Charlton opened, but while it was already brewing. We came for Bright, and I think we were expecting 8pp limit. As we walked in, we found out it was a case pp. Our minds were blown at how much beer you were going to be able to make from then on! We had no idea what that really meant, tho. This is from an old blog on the TH homepage: "Imagine...
    Double Double Shot, Very Green, King Julius, Julius dry hopped with 'x', Green dry hopped with 'y', fruited berliner weisse, a bounty of other beers yet to be brewed, etc. etc. etc. . . all available in growler form only!" I almost never leave Charlton without a pour of Quad Shot. Your dreams became our delicious reality! Thanks for being awesome.

    Roughly 6ish years ago my homie Joe Yurkunas and I did a West & East Coast beer swap
    I sent him some from our neighbors who own a brewery, and he sent me yours
    It was then that I was introduced to the East Coast style IPA, which to this day, is my favorite type of beer
    Good memories & great friends
    Cheers to the future

      @@treehousebrewco great video! so... possibly niche request, but... I've always been curious, going back to Monson, how you (Nate) divided your time. was it just you brewing? did others have input/roles there? (I thought the cycling themed beers were *forgot his name*} and how has that developed (how many "brewers" work there now? how hands on are you now with that?) what was/is a typical day/week like between brewing, photography (pre-Cody,) Twitter, etc. as you expanded did you spend more time leading new projects or have others do that while you stayed closer to the beer (brewing, creating new stuff, quality control?) sounds like a Nate interview slash oral history, but... definitely curious about that as much as present/future. just write a book at some point, or a multi-part oral history podcast. looking forward to more video content, whatever it may be ✌🏻

    One question: why the cardboard covers for the manholes on the Boil and Whirlpool? Is it to minimize light impact?

    @kinggorf Рік тому

    Mind blowing stuff! As a homebrewer who is always looking to step up his game this is super inspiring!
    I've recently gotten into keeping DO levels down on the hotside.
    Question #1:
    What's your opinion about deoxyginating strike water? Is this part of your process or do you only care about DO on the coldside?
    --------------------------
    Very much looking forward to seeing the future video with cold side process including dry hop practices. On a homebrew scale we are somewhat limited to either dry hopping in the primary, secondary or keg. We don't have centrifuges or hop torpedos. There's a lot of information (and misinformation out there about ideal timing, duration, and temperature for dry hop schedule)
    Lately I've settled on dry hopping bright beer at 62 degrees for 24 hours, then kegging and naturally carbonating with priming sugar. (I use a butterfly valve on the top of my fermentor and keep positive pressure when I quickly open to drop in the dry hops)
    I've found that this keeps the oils in suspension after packaging to the keg. When I dry hop during active fermentation too much of the goodies drop out with the yeast when it drops bright. Also, I feel like I get enough biotransformation from the whirlpool additions.
    I've also tried naturally carbonating via spunding with a point left from terminal gravity after dry hopping, but have enjoyed the results I've achieved from dry hopping after the beer is bright.
    ---------------------
    Question #2:
    What's your advice to homebrewers on best practice for homebrewers timing the dry hop, temperature, duration, keeping DO to a minimum, pressure etc?
    (I guess this question could wait for the cold side video 😜🍻)
    Question 3:
    What's your ideal mash PH, boil PH, and post fermentation PH for an IPA? Do you add any acid additions during the boil, or after dry hopping?

    Nate, I hope you get what you paid for with the automation and features you need. It looks like Allen Bradley view studio. I'm assuming AB drives too. Don't settle for less than optimal. There are plenty of good programmers if you need tweaks. Keep up the good beer. You are an icon in the hazy area. I'm not a hazy fan but maybe you can convince me. I'm in Colorado.
    Edit: once a month tweaks/meetings. Un-heard of I see why you are on top. Tip of the hat

    Hi Nate, first off great videos! Seriously impressive operation you are running there. Love how clean and tidy it is.
    Towards the end you mention that you are on first runnings from the Lauter Tun to the Kettle and that the rakes are spinning slowly. Do you run the rakes the whole time until the kettle is full? How long does the recirc take you to get it to run clear? I have real trouble with this when running the rakes.
    Keep up the great work.

    i work in chemical manufacturing, so many similarities but brewery environment looks so much more clean. all the nice new equipment and things not constantly being broken, bypassed and fenagled, sure is a fancy operation you got going. but given my field I am really interested in seeing more of the technical hardware like boilers, chillers, condensers, stacks and equipment in depth stuff. great video no less

      Thanks Steve - 'Utilities' is on the list for the behind the scenes equipment tour, so it's coming!
