00:19:53 ◼   ► consume to say things I'm so let's look [TS]

00:19:56 ◼   ► so let me back up a little bit and talk [TS]

00:19:58 ◼   ► a little bit about how beer is made [TS]

00:20:00 ◼   ► so we start with a malted barley so [TS]

00:20:03 ◼   ► that's barley that's been what they do [TS]

00:20:05 ◼   ► is they soak it which causes it to [TS]

00:20:07 ◼   ► germinate and start to sprout and then [TS]

00:20:10 ◼   ► they fault that process by killing it [TS]

00:20:12 ◼   ► and that creates this enzymatic process [TS]

00:20:14 ◼   ► that converts the starches into sugars [TS]

00:20:16 ◼   ► and makes that into a good yeast food so [TS]

00:20:19 ◼   ► if you've ever had you know like a [TS]

00:20:20 ◼   ► malted milkshake that's that same flavor [TS]

00:20:22 ◼   ► that that we're driving there so you [TS]

00:20:24 ◼   ► start with that you crack it and you [TS]

00:20:26 ◼   ► soak it and you basically make [TS]

00:20:28 ◼   ► multi-quote meal is what you've made [TS]

00:20:30 ◼   ► there and then we run boiling water [TS]

00:20:33 ◼   ► through that and that creates what [TS]

00:20:34 ◼   ► Brewers called wort which is a sugar [TS]

00:20:36 ◼   ► solution so we start out with basically [TS]

00:20:38 ◼   ► just a giant boiling cauldron of boiling [TS]

00:20:41 ◼   ► sugar water from multan that's that's [TS]

00:20:44 ◼   ► the sugar source so we boil that for [TS]

00:20:46 ◼   ► about an hour and during that hour we [TS]

00:20:48 ◼   ► add hops and we add hops at the [TS]

00:20:50 ◼   ► beginning it actually adds bitterness [TS]

00:20:53 ◼   ► and then the you add more hops during [TS]

00:20:56 ◼   ► the different times as you make the beer [TS]

00:20:57 ◼   ► and hops that are added the end don't [TS]

00:21:00 ◼   ► add any bitterness they only add flavor [TS]

00:21:03 ◼   ► and aroma [TS]

00:21:04 ◼   ► so if we go back like 10 years back [TS]

00:21:06 ◼   ► extreme beer you know double IPAs are [TS]

00:21:08 ◼   ► just really sort of blowing up that's [TS]

00:21:10 ◼   ► when you've got all these hops being [TS]

00:21:11 ◼   ► added at the beginning and middle of the [TS]

00:21:13 ◼   ► process creating some good flavors but [TS]

00:21:16 ◼   ► just an enormous amount of bitterness [TS]

00:21:18 ◼   ► and so it's like biting into a Juniper [TS]

00:21:20 ◼   ► branch is the exactly that I generally [TS]

00:21:22 ◼   ► or like biting into like an orange peel [TS]

00:21:25 ◼   ► with like a lingering pithy bitterness [TS]

00:21:27 ◼   ► that can release it on your palate [TS]

00:26:18 ◼   ► my love you know like everything I can [TS]

00:26:21 ◼   ► you know choose whatever reason we have [TS]

00:26:22 ◼   ► a feeling that that that day but darker [TS]

00:26:29 ◼   ► balancing flavors [TS]

00:26:32 ◼   ► and whether it's whether it's just the [TS]

00:26:33 ◼   ► basics of the beer being you know [TS]

00:26:34 ◼   ► between things like the borrowing my [TS]

00:26:59 ◼   ► to my palate [TS]

00:27:01 ◼   ► it's funny you say that because my [TS]

00:27:02 ◼   ► experience with dogfish head has almost [TS]

00:27:20 ◼   ► process they call that continually [TS]

00:27:22 ◼   ► hopped and so what they actually do is [TS]

00:27:25 ◼   ► add the hops during that entire boil [TS]

00:27:28 ◼   ► process so it's a 60-minute boil for the [TS]

00:27:30 ◼   ► 60 minute IPA and a 90 minute boil and [TS]

00:27:33 ◼   ► they had them continuously through that [TS]

00:28:11 ◼   ► make anything that that's really for you [TS]

00:28:13 ◼   ► but if you like you know basically like [TS]

00:28:16 ◼   ► dense rich very hoppy ales and things [TS]

00:28:19 ◼   ► with subtle flavorings they're fantastic [TS]

00:28:22 ◼   ► i like density I just like the density [TS]

00:28:24 ◼   ► to come from the the the grain component [TS]

00:28:27 ◼   ► as opposed to the hop component and i [TS]

00:28:29 ◼   ► should say that i have come to actually [TS]

00:28:31 ◼   ► really appreciate the Indian brown from [TS]

00:28:34 ◼   ► donna head which is very complex in [TS]

00:28:37 ◼   ► terms of its its grain profile but less [TS]

00:28:40 ◼   ► happy I think my my favorite of all the [TS]

00:28:42 ◼   ► dogfish head's is [TS]

00:28:43 ◼   ► the APRA hop which it's it's got the hop [TS]

00:29:08 ◼   ► local is going to be the number one [TS]

00:29:10 ◼   ► thing that makes for that to be a great [TS]

00:29:11 ◼   ► beer so hops are by far and away the [TS]

00:29:14 ◼   ► most delicate aspect of the beer that's [TS]

00:29:17 ◼   ► why the beer has to be packaged in brown [TS]

00:29:19 ◼   ► bottles is light hops if it's exposed to [TS]

00:29:56 ◼   ► doesn't have hops it's a grew it alright [TS]

00:29:59 ◼   ► so it's just a matter of so when we [TS]

00:30:00 ◼   ► think of a hoppy hoppy beer it's a [TS]

00:30:02 ◼   ► matter of how many is it like a martini [TS]

00:30:25 ◼   ► all of those hops are in that dry hot [TS]

00:30:27 ◼   ► period so again it's not just what hot [TS]

00:30:29 ◼   ► is what helps are used and when they're [TS]

00:30:31 ◼   ► used and then how the beer is treated [TS]

00:31:38 ◼   ► draws my eye and I mean i would say [TS]

00:31:41 ◼   ► probably about 75 percent of the time if [TS]

00:31:44 ◼   ► I'm trying something new it is because [TS]

00:40:02 ◼   ► vessel or the bottom of the vessel and [TS]

00:40:05 ◼   ► so loggers are fermented a much colder [TS]

00:40:08 ◼   ► there much slower to make compared to an [TS]

00:40:13 ◼   ► IPA or stays on everything else we've [TS]

00:41:01 ◼   ► reason i want to see as many craft [TS]

00:41:03 ◼   ► brewers doing it is equipment and time [TS]
