Lol. The legality of brewing beer or wine is funny. I haven't done it since I turned 21. I started at 18yo (mom wasn't happy. $200 of equipment $65 wine kit, 30 days of patience and I had 30 bottles of wine. I made beer 3 times only 1 turned out. Cheap fruit wine (meant to be 6%) adding a 5lb bag of sugar(bring it to about 12%) is the way to go for a teen without older friends. It would last me and my buddies the weekends till the next batch was done.
It IS illegal to put said wine in your mom's crockpot with a small vent in the lid and run tubing to a jar to distill it. I've never done that.

-Wired, Garrett Oliver, to me, hops are disgusting. They make me want to vomit, because I taste bitterness more than other people (genetics, ya'll. Beside meade, which is kind of a wine, what is the least hops style of beer made? Does that just get into moonshine/liquor territory?
I've done various meads, including using fruit juices, and made amazing wines and meads. I'd like to make a beer that didn't make me want to barf, that others might enjoy.

So it-s a weird myth that water was all unsafe. Most population centers had access to safe drinking water, via springs, aqueducts, wells, etc. If the water was bad, all you had to do was boil it. No need to make it into beer.
All that said, pre-industrial age folks did drink a lot throughout the day, but the beer would have been low ABV.

Bottled beer takes objectively better. It's because the mouth of the beer is a significant part of the tasting experience. No amount of technological improvements can change that. It's the same reason why beer tastes better out of some beer glasses than others, and why beer objectively tastes better in a beer glass than in a bottle.

Correction. There most definitely are boxed beers. Not all beers are carbonated, and lambic is commonly sold in boxes in Belgium.
Also many beers are not plant-based. The beer itself is, initially, but as a part of the filtration/clarification process, many breweries use animal products.

As a beer drinking red blooded male this man appealed to me before I started the video, I mean he-s a brewmaster for gods sake! As soon as I started the video I think I may have instantly developed a straight-man man crush, this guy oozes character! What a bloke!

The carbonation in beer is why I can't drink it unfortunately, I can't drink anything with carbonation not even soda, I don't feel too left out though I drink delicious 90 prf bourbon instead, that doesn't hurt my stomach but carbonation does, figure that out

15: 32 Considering when this was written, I'm guessing this was a realisation this person came to after the lockdowns in Britain. It was sad. At the same time, there was a lot of free beer for the pub workers before going into lockdown hahaha.

I'm pretty sure the 'beer instead of water' in the past(as it was viewed as safer) idea is a myth, it doesn't really stand up to common sense anyway.
It gets repeated all the time, but it never made sense to me.

I just gotta say a lot of lambic styles are spontaneously inoculated by leaving the wort in a cool ship overnight. That doesn-t require adding yeast but the yeast and bacteria in the air is what starts the fermentation.
