I hate that someone would purposefully make their video look that bad. This video should have been about information, not entertainment.

[ERICMCKAY9]

Ha! Wasn't exactly on purpose...we're brewers, not cinematographers.

Can someone explain me why they don't use malt to do the brewing ???? alot of the other videos use malt and sugar while they are boiling, is it because the grains contained both.

[ERICMCKAY9]

In brewing, the word "malt" is short for malted barley. In this video, we use "all grain" malt, just like a commercial craft brewery would, however, this approach does take a few more steps. Most beginners will find it simpler and less frustrating to start out brewing with malt extract, which is available as a powder or a syrup. Once you get the hang of it, try all-grain - the difference in taste is similar to the difference in instant coffee compared to freshly ground coffee. Good luck!

[branwithoutclaws]

Thanks for the info. Anyone complaining about the stylistic elements of this video is a fool. If you are looking for scholarly info on the subject try a book.

@newFaction64 I completely agree. We were going for an old-timey effect to make it slightly more interesting. The result wasn't exactly what we had imagined. We will try and post an updated version soon.... perhaps we can spice it up with a car alarm going off in the background.

@BrainChild42 There are many different varieties of hops, many different ways of malting and roasting barley, many different yeast strains and all different make ups of water that are used. The 'four ingredients' are referring to beer in it's most common form. However, many beers use other types of malted and un-malted grain such as wheat, rye and oats in addition to barley. Sometimes spices are used, sometimes they are aged on oak or in used whiskey barrels.... and the variations go on.

[BrainChild42]

If beer is made up of only 4 ingredients, then why does every beer taste unique?

[newFaction64]

This is unbelievably annoying to watch. I was hoping for information not flashing
