      Yeast is making two kinds of beer right now. They're fermenting in the living room.

    As a food scientist, i really appreciate episodes like this where you can see the importance of hygiene and knowing your process and product. I love how you caught on on how well controlled everything is, and that there's a lot of science behind making a consistently good beer. If you do get a chance to see a bottling plant at work, make sure to check it out because it looks really impressive. Yes, this is where the product gets made, but you can't see much happening, during filling and labelling you see a lot of incredibly finely choreographed movement.

    Matt, you've never driven a forklift until you've driven one with 72 inch forks trying to lift standard pallets... and put the blades through the wall on the other side. At an old job, my boss got tired of us forking the walls between us and the neighbors and chewed us out one day. Not five minutes later, he hops on the forklift to pick up a skid in order to place it on a delivery truck... and forked the walls. We all got one free stab at the walls after that.

    @SeanBZA Před měsícem +47

    Those hoses looking new is no accident, they have to be replaced regularly, as they also get sterilised in boiling water, so they do degrade. That is why every part is stainless steel, and you strip it all apart so that all the dead spaces get cleaned as well, so as to not trap anything that might contaminate the beer.

    We need a follow up episode where you taste the beer and Ben tells us more about low alcohol beer and how that is different (significantly so I would imagine) from stronger beer that has been converted to lower (or no) alcohol.
    I have a weird taste in beers, I like the really strong Belgian type AND then some low to ultra-low alcohol. Alcohol free is seldom that good, but 0.5 to 2-3 % can be lovely. I fear the hype about alcohol free is killing many nice brews :-(.

    ohh, I'd also thought malts were totally different from "other grains", but they're just processed! The part about the hops was also really interesting, they're almost like tea leaves... I thought I don't like beers that are "hoppy" because they're bitter, but maybe now I can look for ones that have more of the hops added to the cooled concoction and see if they suit me better. Floral and citrusy are adjectives right up my alley 😄

    Some fun facts about brewing raw materials-
    Barley is really well suited for malting due to the structure and enzyme content allowing for starches to be quickly broken down to fermentable sugars, the husk material is also really useful for filtration. This is one of the reasons why malted barley tends to make up the lion's share of grist composition.
    Cereal grains like malt barley also provide other nutrients for yeast like amino acids and phosphates, and flavour compounds such as maillard reaction products from malting and boiling. Some other cereal grains used in brewing include wheat, rye, maize, rice and sorghum.
    Ale yeast "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" is the same yeast used in baking and winemaking (as well as sake, cider, mead etc.), although a different assortment of strains with behaviours and characteristics more favourable to their applications are used for other activities.
    In some vessel shapes, ale yeast will rise to the top in fermentation, as opposed to sink to the bottom which lager yeast would do- nowadays cylindroconical vessels are widely used in which both yeasts drop to the bottom.
    Lager yeast "Saccharomyces pastorianus" is a different species from ale yeast, as it is a hybrid of ale yeast and another species. One of the different characteristics of lager yeast is it prefers lower temperatures.
    Water profile in brewing is important, amongst other things the content can impact pH, enzyme and yeast performance, different ratios of ions/minerals- sulphate to chloride for example can heavily impact beer flavour.
    Several historic places for brewing have distinct water profiles, which were preferable for certain beer styles. Today we can replicate those water profiles anywhere.
    Hop cones are actually fruits, and the hop plant is in the same phylogenetic family as Cannabis. Female plants are the only ones to bear fruit, and hop bines for harvest are widely grown from root cuttings.
    Hops provide an antibacterial effect in addition to their flavour/aroma and bittering properties.
    Before hops were used widely, a mixture of herbs and spices called gruit was used which included things like mugwort and sweet gale.

    Great video Matt! Even though this is on a more well known topic I still learned a lot from it and it is always fun watching your excitement!

    this should be a publically funded show helping kids pick a career (theres something similar in switzerland, but not with an unexperienced person trying to do the job)

    Wow, I think this is the best one yet, Matt. Loved all the details shared by Ben; not only does he have all this knowledge he was able to communicated it really well. I knew everyone used to drink beer because it was safer but hadn't heard the term "Small beer" before.

    Perfect telly for me. I'll pay on the patreon as soon as I can. Thankyou Matt.
    Also, similar vibes from the helicopter lesson to the forklift driving; have you played a lot of forklift sims too? 😊

    This looks a lot like how my brothers' brewery works!
    Even down to the slogan "brewing is mostly cleaning" 😂

    As a homebrewer, I always enjoy seeing different scales of brewing and different styles being made.

    I'm always wary about assuming someone's online persona lines up with how they really are off-camera, but either Matt is a surprisingly convincing actor or they're just genuinely one of the most delightful people I've seen
    ...now if only I could maintain anything close to that level of bubbly enthusiasm 😅

    Small beer is interesting. In Oklahoma we used to have really strict liquor laws making it so most beer was 3.2% alcohol or below. You could get higher percentages but you had to buy it at liquor stores. And I think bars also had it but the majority was still 3.2%. when I started drinking beer in my late 20's I quickly got a tolerance so it would take 2-3 beers before I felt any sort of intoxicated. I went to Vegas a year or so after I started casually drinking. I sat down at a ot machine and was given a free bud lite. Drank it and nothing. They gave me another one and then a third. After I finished that one I decided it was time to walk back to my hotel. As soon as I stood up it hit me. I had forgotten that I was basically drinking twice as much as normal. That walk back was interesting.

    i don't drink but its still super cool to see how much effort goes into this and how so many things can change the flavor / characteristics

    I already knew a lot of this from life experience and watching Adam Ragusea but I always enjoy watching Matt do cool things and be enthusiastic. I'm really glad you get to do these things and I hope that Patreon pays enough for it to continue!
    (I would subscribe to it myself but right now I'm unemployed, but as soon as i get a job I'll be signing up!)

    FYI: the subtitles talk of 'molting' rather than 'malting', which (I thought) are two different things. ;)

    21:39 Holy crap I have never seen a White Labs yeast pouch so big! They make some fantastic yeast strains. Their tasting rooms in Asheville and San Diego are great, they will do the same beer with 3 different yeasts to show off the flavor differences.
    Also they have some of the best pizza I have ever had. :)
