"reinventing the wheel" should be this show's motto
You have to test before you start fermenting
Yeah sounds good enough
Or not
More like: replicating the wheel with homemade resources
And he did. Congrats bruh
Heat the clay vessels up before you add the hot pine pitch next time. Otherwise you won't get an even coating because the room temp clay hardens it too quickly.
I also wondered why he didn't need to use leaves or makeshift gloves to protect from the heat, until I saw the pitch harden as soon as it hit the pot.
He should fill the vessels full with pitch, then melt it out at low temps to get the best possible results
@@Junglehunter677 I get why, but it would also damage the pitch to be reheated multiple times. One might waste a lot of pitch in that process. Although I'm sure the result would be great.
He could of also put the pitch on the outside. The pot would absorb some of the liquid but it wouldn’t leak!
@@swordsaw At worse case scenario you get coating of tar, if lid if properly sealed, witch would been net positive back then as its great for water proofing and pretty durable and dries bit faster than normal wood resin. Should even give "nice" taste on the drink as alcohol dissolves tar if i recall right. I dont recall pitch becoming thing later than couple centuries ago, due it being manufactured by distilling tar or other organic substances and distilling tech come much later, but i havent studied this that much. I only have understanding that tar was manufactured from wood resin trees late as couple centuries ago. Pitch other hand has only recently replaced tar in popularity due distilling technology advances into industrial scale. Someone can correct me on this if you have better wealth of knowledge on topic.
You would have gotten more alcohol if you had cracked that grain first. By throwing raw grain in your starter you are basically making a lacto starter which is why your beers are all sour and acidic.
That's a pretty interesting but tiny step!
did they know of this technique in the early days of alcohol brewing
@@Bluboy511 either by mistake or by experimenting
Masta Blasta - They likely figured that out several times through history. It's a pretty simple step. No idea when it became common place, though.
More natural carbonation too.

Test the alcohol precentages
henk baksteen he would have to have taken a starting gravity and a final gravity reading, in order to know the abv
i just came to the comments to ask him to get a lab test done on the ethanol concentration, as well as testing for methanol and other alcohols, and also maybe any harmful components that you might not want to include in your every day drink.
but as i scrolled down to make the comment, you were the top comment, so here we are :D

Hey there, just thought I'd clarify a little point that you mentioned here about malting, which you also mentioned in your wheat beer video.
Malting doesn't convert starch into sugar at all, what it actually does is increase the amount of starch available in the grains as they begin to germinate. This is because the grains begin to expand their starch stores to provide energy for the grain's growth. This is then halted by kilning, where moisture is driven off down to usually >5%. This also helps stabilise the malted grains for storage.
What does convert the starch into sugar is the Mash phase, where groups of enzymes present in the grain (mostly amylases) process the starch into sugars of various length molecules. Modern brewers have identified the various temperatures that these enzymes work at. The longer the Mash is held at the 'Saccharification rest' (about 60-70 degC) the more of these sugars are converted into fermentable sugars that your yeast can consume and produce glorious alcohol from.
I hope this helps clarify what's going on in beer production to a reasonable understanding. I've got a fair bit of experience working in a maltings and as a brewer that I want to keep everyone informed of the processes that our favourite beverage goes through!

Plate armour already exists in bronze age. Only it's in bronze rather than steel.
Plate armour should already exists when the pyramid are being built. But they're for chariot not on foot as they're really heavy compared to steel plates.
I might be wrong though, so please do your own research.
@@thegoose5294 You infact are wrong, the methods for creating plate armor are much more complex and time consuming than for normal armor which is why it wasn't used by the lay solider even when plate armor was as its most widely used. Most bronze is also slightly more heavy or dense but not to the point where armors made of the different metals would become too heavy.
@@thekingofnipples9806 What is "normal" armor, really?
And do you think even steel plate armor were used by the ranks and files in medieval times?
And what's the source?
I love the new format so much. I've been enjoying this channel for years, but this new format makes things feel so organized and directed.

@@_Myrhl DR.stone an anime where the world is turned into stone
@@naltlan7651 I'm watching that right now. please no spoilers, but as an ancient technology enthusiast, and someone who lives in a place that has dangerous wild animals, I think they could have avoided waking up the genocidal tarzan if they had just taken a couple of spears with them. Seriously, big oversight on the part of the smart guy. He knew there were lions and he still walked around without a polearm. The Massai nomads from Africa almost always carry spears when away from camp. And spears are effective weapons against pack hunters. You severely injure a couple and the rest will likely leave you alone. Pack-hunting animals are typically quite intelligent, and can see a losing situation when they are in one.

I made pumpkin wine last year...I'm still waiting for it to age some though :/
David L I like recipes that are meant to be drank young, because I don’t have any patience.
@@JustinDragonClaw It's only going to be like 1 or 2 years at most, likely just the one. It's more common to age wine for 3 to 5 years but that's your standard grape wines so it's not like there's a real rule-book here, you drink your wine whenever. Although if you want to do it properly just make so much wine the first year that there's enough for several years, you'll eventually reach stability.

I don't see that many people going through this process the way he did when there are not only 'beers ready to drink' one can buy but also much more efficient homebrewing ingredients/equipment. Even if you did want to use clay pots, you can find them pre-made.
But i do see your point. Dude has to cover his hide from getting sued though.
Using a questionable starter and unsealed containers has a a much higher risk then using modern methods

Super cool to see the success of this project! Keep up the awesome work!
Appreciate the effort, Great Show! Keep doing what you're doing
I know you haven’t worked with clay in a while but a good choice for making large vessels without a potters wheel would be a coil vessel
Yay, reinventing the wheel!
This is one of the best CZcams channels and is one of the reasons that CZcams has become such a profound success.
Thanks guys, keep going strong!
Very cool cider , thanks for the work this took
Would be cool to get a follow up "snippet" where you filtered some of the beer. Especially to see the color
2:50 "to be able to YEET them to the proper temperatures"
Thank you for another terrific episode. This is definitely one that I will drink to!
Im really glad u have a countdown for the sponsor. Makes a great video even better
Finally. Now I can brew beer in my dorm room😂
@HTME you really need to make tighter seals between the neck of your bottles and their cover. You can easily do this by turning the top and the bottle to grind the excedent material until the seal is tight, that will likely help a lot with many things in the future!
Edit: in addition to that, you could also try to make wooden corks to close your bottles up more tightly.
Good ideas. Adding something that might work like a gasket could help. I think the lack of an air tight seal would give it a limited shelf life because oxidation really destroys the flavor of beer. But, if you even used rag as a gasket, it might help, even though it would not be close to airtight. A wooden cork, with a rag, and ...
a blow off tube, but that is getting way too advanced. You would be past the 16th Century in tech.
I am so hyped for the wheel!
Ayyy happy to see your at 1.2m when i stumbles upon your Channel I knew you where going to grow fast happy to see your Chanel reach theirs mile stones

Using clay in the beer will cause all the "floating" to settle down
i hope you explore other alcohols too. its interesting seeing the process of it being made.
i want to make my own now lol
Not hard, Alex French guy cooking has an amazing video on making beer 100% from grocery store items, from the tools and vessels, to the actual ingredients. It's really insane, and with a small investment for proper gear, you'd be surprised at what you can do
I ve just found this channel today by boringly wondering how to make paper from scratch, now im addicted
We have to appreciate his work tomake this video
so serious question, did ya just wanna get drunk and thought "hey this will make a great video"? cause i mean thats cool
Of course we invented beer before the wheel...
It was definitely safer to drink beer than it was to drink water back then. Alcohol had the benefit of sanitizing the water for you.
Llamma Pajama except no not really as the alcohol content was nowhere near high enough to kill germs, even modern pasteurized beer is succeptable to pathogens. And the “leave cereal gruel out and hope for the best” method is as likely to give you food poisoning as it is to result in alcohol.
Rivers in ancient times were fairly safe to drink from and people were smart enough to not drink from standing water.
Good work, folks!
That was awesome. Tanx for taking the time & effort to put this video out. Could you maybe make a video on how to make pine pitch/tar? That seems like something that could be used to line all sorts of stuff.

As an alternative to using pine pitch for your pottery, I suggest seasoning as you would a frying pan. You apply an oil or fat to the part of the pottery which will form the inside and not the part which needs to stick to the other parts. Then once your pottery vessel is form, apply a light coating of oil or fat on the outside of your clay vessel. The process of firing up your clay should transform the oil into a hard non-stick surface that is waterproof.
Another method would be post-firing of your clay vessel, while it is still hot, is to melt bees wax inside of it and once it is liquid, pour out the bees wax and let your vessel cool down.
The oil would quickly degrade, especially with an acidic beverage like beer. It would be... icky. I have used seasoned cast iron for decades and you don't want to leave it in the sink with even water in it overnight. Not good.

Wow man it's been a while since I've checked out your channel. You really blew up. I believe you had less than 300k last time I checked. It seems like you've also changed, you seem more lively. God bless friend, keep it up 👍
7:25 bread and fruit are used to make beer in prison also any yeast they can steal from the kitchens and any sugar source sugar packets, fruit, candy they ferment it in multiple plastic trash bags tied off and left in the bottom of garbage cans or wherever else they can try and hide them also (not to be a pain) all the tools you use would have been through multiple iterations and improvements in techniques and outcomes and would be more refined at this point (understood you do not have time and resources for doing this for each item/process you go through) keep it up

to improve your flat-top lids I would recommend letting the container dry some and harden first that forming the lid to the harder material it will make a much better seal.

"dirt and grass"
uses grains
this is unfair clickbait.
Grains are grass...
A good seal on the clay ware can be obtained by making the lid a conical or round plug shape & rotating it wet into the wet neck of the vessels, creating a matching seat.
If the beer is gassy you can make round clay balls & fire them, then rotate them into the wet vessel neck to make a very accurate seal. Then a small hoop can sit over the clay ball top & be strapped down firm with string strung under the vessel once fired.
It's weird not seeing you guys struggle but I would call this a great success.
shortly after i finished my last beer that i made, this came out, nice
You make it seem so effortless
i just made basically this for a new years grule and it was amazing, although i did carbonate it myself with a soda stream after cold filtering the yeast out.
I love the premise of your channel, its inspired. Like if you were thrust back into the dark ages, with all the knowledge you have now, what technology could you recreate?

Try the coil method with pottery it can make a good looking pots without a wheel. Also don’t worry about scoring the clay if both clays are the same moisture level and are practically the same you can smush the together like play Dow.
When you pour liquids hold the edge of the cup against the corner of the other cup so anything that tries to spill outwards hits the edge of the cup and stays clean.
was interesting to watch
