I have been watching several of this channels videos today and I just want to say that the production quality of this show is very well done. I am glad I came across it in my recommended videos a few days ago. Very well done, and I also like the host, Andy. Some people think he's awkward with how he speaks to the people he learns from to make things, but the way how he gives very few gestures and is silent when they are speaking looks like respect to the masters of their craft. I somewhat strive to do the same in being like that when someone is teaching me something.
There's brewery near my high school and for the longest time I thought it was a bakery because of the strong yeast smell. I asked my friends where the bakery was and they were like "Um, that's not bread that's whiskey." lol
Nicely done. As a homebrewer, I love to see that you brewed it on a small scale using simple techniques. I don't do brew in a bag, but I also use gravity instead of pumps. Makes the process simple.
It's funny, i'm from Flanders and an uncle of mine is also into homebrewing (as am i, so he likes to talk about it to me) and he told me that Germany has very strict rules to brewing beer, you have to stick to certain recipes, you cannot choose your own ingredients and stuff. Which i find weird, in Flanders you can go ahead and put pumpkins or honey into beer, whatever suits your flavor!
@@geojelly9830 Yes, we got something called the "german purity law". It exists since the 16th century, and basically it says that the only ingredients for beer should be barley, hops and water. And I like my beer that way tbh
@@RicebeheaderPat Actually it allows for malt, yeast, hops and water. It doesn't specify the type of grain used to make malt. Otherwise you couldn't enjoy your wheat beer, as it contains wheat and not just barley.
It would be cool to see you go to Japan to do it...But good news! There are a few sake brewers in America, most of them Japanese immigrants... So it would save you time trying to find a translator. Here is one in Portland homebrewsake.com/home/contact-us/ And one near San Francisco www.takarasake.com/contact.php I hope i like the help Btw.. do you mind if you do a special episode for me... Not anything too big.. Just something that interests me and im sure might interest other people.... Aka How to make ships/boats... Mostly the privateer ( and a little on pirates included)
Neotoribaru well... It's both beer and wine but... Its more beer... Wine has to be main from a fruit and beer has to be made from a type of grain... But if you ever had sake... You would know why its like wine as its smooth bodied and quite aromatic, sometimes it has a fruity overtones... Depends on if you get cheap low quality sake though... Higher the quality... More wine like it is in taste... So its nither beer or wine... Infact people have been talking about making a new group altogether to put it in as beer and wine are both accurate descriptions of it.
+Darké Wolvé (CptDarkwolf) I have brewed beer that had fruity overtones. It's based in the yeast and what temperature you ferment at...I don't like fruity beers, so I am keeping my current beer on the cold side.
This is by far one of the best episodes you guys have put out and i really liked the new format! It was a bit difficult to keep track of each episode but this is much better! congrats guys and I hope you blow up soon here on youtube !
It's not bad per se, unless you're counting the limited selection of beverages that I have to choose from. For the most part my abstention is due to family history, being Asian, dislike the taste of most alcoholic beverages and wanting to keep myself under control at all times. I really don't ever want to find out what kind of drunk I am nor let out anything that I can't take back. The most rebellious thing I did regarding alcohol was drink a glass of wine at my cousin's wedding 2 days before I was 21.
Scott Mew Well, each to their own. I'm 15 but have been drunk a few times. Never gotten a hangover though, not even after 8 beers. I too was afraid of what kinda drunk I'll be. I turned out to be a laughing one that cant remember the most basic things like rules of a simple card game.
Pretty cool that you malted the wheat! Market available brewers wheat is no higher in protein than standard six row brewers malt, 12 to 16% protein. When wheat is above 16% protein it isn't used for brewing. The higher the modification, the less the enzyme richness and the higher the protein percentage, the less the sugar content. Try this next time. Dough in the wheat at 60F. Then, remove a small volume of mash and increase pH in the small portion to at least 8 and raise the temperature to 113 to 115F. It is called the ferulic rest. Rest the mash for 20 minutes. Before adding the ferulic mash back into the main mash reduce pH to 5.5 by using sauer malz. After the ferulic mash has been added back into the main mash, adjust pH of the main mash to 5.5 pH. There is a reason for it to be 5.5, it has to do with enzymatic action. Then, remove a portion of the main mash (1st decoction) and increase the temperature of the decoction to 122F and rest the mash for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, increase the temperature of the 1st decoction to 155F and rest for 20 minutes. Then, boil the mash for at least 30 minutes. and skim off break as it forms. The longer the decoction is boiled, the better. Enzymatically, nothing is occurring in the main mash, so you can screw with the 1st decoction for a long time. Boiling will reduce protein gum and burst complex starch. Return the decoction back into the main mash to reach 130F. During the 130F rest, albuminous protein will reduce, beta glucan will be reduced to glucose. Mash viscosity will reduce due to glucose formation. The simple sugar, glucose, formed during the 155F decoction rest and during the 130F rest will convert to maltose and maltotrios, complex types of sugar, during the next cycles. When the main mash temperature stabilizes, remove the 2nd decoction and rapidly increase the temperature of the decoction to 146F and rest the mash for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, boil the decoction for 30 minutes. More protein gum will boil away, skim off break as it forms. After the boiling period has ended, return the 2nd decoction back into the main mash. Stabilize the temperature at 149/150F and reduce pH to 5.3 and no lower than 5. When mash temperature and pH stabilize, remove the 3rd decoction and quickly raise the temperature to 154F and rest the decoction for 10 minutes. Then, boil the decoction for 20 minutes, skimming off break as it forms. Return the decoction back into the main mash to reach 162F, Alpha I range, and rest the mash for 15 minutes. Mash out and allow the mash to rest, mud will form on the bed, do not stir the mud. Lauter, slowly. Using Lager yeast, first fermentation seven to 10 days at 55F. Second fermentation at 45F for two weeks. The maltose will be absorbed by the yeast and converted into glucose during second fermentation, causing gravity reduction when the glucose ferments. Keg when gravity reduces to 1015. Maltotriose will be absorbed by yeast and natural carbonation will occur. Priming sugar or artificial carbonation will not be needed. The final product will be superior in quality than what was produced during the vid. When an optimum temperature is used, pH must be optimum, as well. A mistake that home brewers make, is in assuming that pH 5.2 is spot on during all of the phases of the brewing cycle. When the single infusion method is used, there is only one cycle, so it is more important to match temperature and pH with the enzyme being activated. Do not assume that Mother Nature creates malt to be so perfect that all of the ducks line up specifically for a home made beer brewers usage. Try to find Meussdoerffer sauer malz, it is the finest sauer malz available to the home brewer, it is the malt used by European brew masters. It wouldn't be a bad idea to purchase a decent pH meter.
I started watching and at about 7 min in I paused. Went downstairs, prepared thin sliced salami, olives, cheese, pickles and some garlic bread. Came back up, cracked open my coold beer and enjoyed this video to its fullest
Awesome first episode of the brewing series! Can't wait to see what else you guys have in the works. This has reminded me of my plans to try out a molasses type of beer that I wanted to try out, perhaps I will do that sometime. My parent's have the required equipment to make and bottle wine/beer so all I really have to do is plan things out and do it.
I'm so glad this is a longer video. I'm sorry if I was a bit rude with my comment on an earlier video but i'm glad you did something about the main criticism I had.
+How To Make Everything You should plug the Patreon thing a bit more and add the typical "don't forget to like share and subscribe".

I can't stop watching your videos. I first saw your sandwichch video after another UA-camr mentioned the video and now I'm addicted. You should make some wine next but Idk how hard it is to grow grapes.
Really enjoyed your vid i grew up listing to my grandmother making home brew during proabition. Once a batch blew up on her. Thanks to you i now know it was too much sugar. Now ill have another beer and think of her. Thanks man
I had wheat beer today for the first time... Hoegaarden was the name. It was extremely sweet and smooth. The color of the beer itself was lovely. A nice cloudy yellow, sort of like Pineapple juice.
Cheers to the Brewer! He made the beer, you just watched. You can streamline the process by bottling it a week early and letting it finish in the bottle without adding honey
My dad makes wine, and we had an issue a while back with a batch of coffee wine. Pasturization was unknowingly incomplete, they got bottled anyway. The result was a yummy wine that was lightly carbonated, and had a tendency to explode
Wow, this was a really fascinating video! I'm curious how the ancients figured out this process. Could you touch a little on that aspect in your videos?
They probably accidentally left a container of grain or flour where it got wet. Also our evolutionary ancestors evolved to eat fermented fruit either because it was easier to smell and find or the alcohol killed off stuff that made them sick
All of the theories about how man discovered fermentation is all speculation. None of the scientists or historians have a clue as to HOW mankind figured it out beyond anyone else. They don't even know which was made first between beer/wine/mead. Ancient civilizations all independently discovered how to ferment things. The "Hymn to Ninkasi" is AFAIK the worlds oldest written texts & it depicts a beer recipe. Yeast is what actually turns sugar into alcohol & can be found in the wild. The theory is that some grain was left out & got wet somehow and sat for some time. I personally assume this happened in an area that gets VERY hot during the day for the starches to be converted into sugars. Wild yeast found its way into the liquid (wort) & fermented naturally. Then eventually, whoever left the grains out decided to drink the liquid, got drunk, liked it & decided to replicate the process.
Young spruce "buds" are a good substitute for hops in quick ales. Also some other 'buds' buddy. I mean Duuude. Soft water helps most beers both wheat and barley. I've never brewed wheat only beer but I've had home brew that was very good and toasty making the grainy taste a positive. The hop type and balance was very important. I found this out from having the same basic recipe with different hops, it was not as balanced despite the same amount of hops.
My grandparents had a huge patio covered with hops vines. I have no idea what they used it for, if they even used it at all, but certainly not for beer.
By adding the honey at the end you continue fermentation which allows for carbonation. So my question is does the fermentation ever stop, and will the bottle explode if left for too long? Also, will the continued fermentation continue the ABV to increase? Great video, I learned quite a bit.
Fermentation will stop when the yeast have no more sugars to consume. If you add just enough, you can get carbonation before the sugar runs out and enough so that the bottles do not explode. Once the sugar runs out, there is nothing left for the yeast to eat and no further gas is produced.
Yeah, what ILoveTurtlesHaHa said. As long as you know how much sugar to add you won't have any problems with exploding bottles. For a five gallon batch you would add 2/3 cup of cane sugar, or 3/4 cup of corn sugar. Generally, honey for priming is not really recommended. The problem with honey is that the sugar content can vary from batch to batch and there's no way to be 100% consistent.
My first ever home brewed beer was authentic hefeweizen. 50/50 pilsner/wheat malts, decent amount of hallertau mittlefruh and WB-06 yeast. I have yet to taste better wheat beer than that first batch. Bananas, bubble gum..all there ;)
Just brewed a 100% wheat beer yesterday. I did an acid rest, a protein rest, a sacc rest and a double decoction. the guy at the hop farm was wrong about not getting complexity out of 100% wheat. doing a decoction will impart a lot of flavor and color.
Awesome video. Would be interesting to see how the beer would look if you added gelatin (commonly used for clearing in homebrewing, but not often in beers). You should do a mixture between this video and the chocolate one, making a chocolate stout! Hard to pull off, but extremely rewarding once you do. Maybe use a Cornelius device (Forced CO2 into the batch instead of priming using remaining yeast and added sugar). Adding sugar often creates dead yeast on the bottom that adds a yeast flavor to the beer. Great video!

What went wrong if I may ask?
AB-InBev owns Northern Brewer...so kinda is a major brewer.
NeReni how much sugar, per bottle, is being added to safely carbonate? 🤔
the.content.you.deserve about 3-4 oz of cane sugar for a 5 gallon batch or 4-5 oz of corn sugar
Ne Reni, so, what is 100% wheat? Should I add another kind of wheat or?

I made my own apple cider once.
Bottled it too early and they all exploded on me.
Nifty trick. Boil a big pot of water then turn it off. Sit your bottles in the pot and it will kill the yeast and stop fermentation
@@kingRukus39 That doesn't help if you want carbonated cider.
Ew you carbonated cider who does that
Make a bubbler, or burp it every 5 or so hours. Until it kinda stops
@@wildsidecreations583 car onated cidre is enjoyed the world over, I might recoil from not carbonated cider. Try both :)

I think it would be. Although I think additional honey is sometimes added after its brewed for extra honey flavor.
it's just sugar if you cook honey. it looses all the good parts.
Actually honey in this amount wont make any difference, than sugar. Its just for refermentation.
I had wheat beer today for the first time... Hoegaarden was the name. It was extremely sweet and smooth. The color of the beer itself was lovely. A nice cloudy yellow, sort of like Pineapple juice.
As an amateur homebrewer who does 1 gallon batches, this is some dope equipment
I'm 17 and this video got me into wanting to brew beer
The best kind of Beer. Cheers!
This was awesome. I've made a couple Mr. Brew DIY kits that turned out well. Nice to see the full legit process in a mini-doc format.
Wow! I didn’t know the water difference between hydroponic and regular agricultural! That’s amazing.
BADASS! I totally dig projects like this. Keep inspiring brother!!!!!!!!!
Love your content. It's nice that its all natural
I don't even like alcohol .. But this is something about the topic of fermentation and is entertaining to watch
I like this format of the video
Binging on your videos rn. This one is my favorite. Great job on all the effort you put into the videos!
Loved this! Especially beside your reboot, it's perfect
your the most hardworking youtuber ever keep it up
I watched your book series but you earned my sub today, very professional video and very informative.
Cheers to the Brewer! He made the beer, you just watched. You can streamline the process by bottling it a week early and letting it finish in the bottle without adding honey
My dad makes wine, and we had an issue a while back with a batch of coffee wine. Pasturization was unknowingly incomplete, they got bottled anyway. The result was a yummy wine that was lightly carbonated, and had a tendency to explode
best episode so far - longer, informative and the interviews were much less awkward
Wow, this was a really fascinating video!
I'm curious how the ancients figured out this process. Could you touch a little on that aspect in your videos?
Ive read that it was accidental. And about a baker. I forgot tho.
They probably accidentally left a container of grain or flour where it got wet. Also our evolutionary ancestors evolved to eat fermented fruit either because it was easier to smell and find or the alcohol killed off stuff that made them sick
All of the theories about how man discovered fermentation is all speculation. None of the scientists or historians have a clue as to HOW mankind figured it out beyond anyone else. They don't even know which was made first between beer/wine/mead. Ancient civilizations all independently discovered how to ferment things. The "Hymn to Ninkasi" is AFAIK the worlds oldest written texts & it depicts a beer recipe.
Yeast is what actually turns sugar into alcohol & can be found in the wild.
The theory is that some grain was left out & got wet somehow and sat for some time. I personally assume this happened in an area that gets VERY hot during the day for the starches to be converted into sugars. Wild yeast found its way into the liquid (wort) & fermented naturally. Then eventually, whoever left the grains out decided to drink the liquid, got drunk, liked it & decided to replicate the process.
I love wheat beer or how the Germans call it weizen beer , your channel makes quality videos , subscribed.
ive been pretty interested in making beer for over a decade. This is the first time i have understood what "malted" meant.
When I saw this video I had the star about the greenhouse, I have a ranch and I plan to do one just for the hops!
Very good episode!
You even put your own honey you were growing for that last part in the beer marking process. I bet that wheat beer tastes delicious.
Gonna love this series
That looks really great, now I kinda want to work out a homebrew
This is good.... You deserve more viewers and subs....
How is it that brewers are always the coolest people?
i really like the long episode format
Nice job! Production value has taken a big step up.
Drinking beer as i watch this🍺
Now I'll have to get me a cold one after watchting this video and listen to my favorite bands Delta Parole and GNR.
Young spruce "buds" are a good substitute for hops in quick ales. Also some other 'buds' buddy. I mean Duuude. Soft water helps most beers both wheat and barley.
I've never brewed wheat only beer but I've had home brew that was very good and toasty making the grainy taste a positive. The hop type and balance was very important. I found this out from having the same basic recipe with different hops, it was not as balanced despite the same amount of hops.
As a hobby hop grower... that hydroponic indoor hop farm.. DOOOOOOOD
My grandparents had a huge patio covered with hops vines. I have no idea what they used it for, if they even used it at all, but certainly not for beer.
This actually made me crave for some Wheat Beer right away!! Amazingly done, this video :)
I try this because i have hops around me , i discover today when bikeing around.
I make wine and whiskey often. I grow the grains and grapes
By adding the honey at the end you continue fermentation which allows for carbonation. So my question is does the fermentation ever stop, and will the bottle explode if left for too long? Also, will the continued fermentation continue the ABV to increase? Great video, I learned quite a bit.
Fermentation will stop when the yeast have no more sugars to consume. If you add just enough, you can get carbonation before the sugar runs out and enough so that the bottles do not explode. Once the sugar runs out, there is nothing left for the yeast to eat and no further gas is produced.
iLoveTurtlesHaha ahh, thank you
Yeah, what ILoveTurtlesHaHa said. As long as you know how much sugar to add you won't have any problems with exploding bottles. For a five gallon batch you would add 2/3 cup of cane sugar, or 3/4 cup of corn sugar. Generally, honey for priming is not really recommended. The problem with honey is that the sugar content can vary from batch to batch and there's no way to be 100% consistent.
Well done, sir. Very well done.
My first ever home brewed beer was authentic hefeweizen. 50/50 pilsner/wheat malts, decent amount of hallertau mittlefruh and WB-06 yeast. I have yet to taste better wheat beer than that first batch. Bananas, bubble gum..all there ;)
Great, now I want to do it myself
Here in Colorado, we have tons of "hops" greenhouses.
Sick hops dude!
Just brewed a 100% wheat beer yesterday. I did an acid rest, a protein rest, a sacc rest and a double decoction. the guy at the hop farm was wrong about not getting complexity out of 100% wheat. doing a decoction will impart a lot of flavor and color.
Tons of great information. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up!
Awesome video. Would be interesting to see how the beer would look if you added gelatin (commonly used for clearing in homebrewing, but not often in beers). You should do a mixture between this video and the chocolate one, making a chocolate stout! Hard to pull off, but extremely rewarding once you do. Maybe use a Cornelius device (Forced CO2 into the batch instead of priming using remaining yeast and added sugar). Adding sugar often creates dead yeast on the bottom that adds a yeast flavor to the beer. Great video!
Me and a friend did something similar in school, except we used flour and added enzymes to skip malting
