Beer, The Universe and Everything - But with Beer - Let's Talk

let's talk about our experiences making beer on the channel so first off this is our raspberry beer and it's quite good it's very nice and not only that but it gives us an excuse to use some of our beautiful glasswar complimentary of North Mountain Supply look at this they have a great selection of glass wear so if you're looking for a particular glass be uh uh I think they're called these chimneys am I I'm probably saying it wrong I'm so sorry no idea I'm probably drinking this beer in the wrong kind of glass anyway so many different styles mugs glasses stemmed unstemmed handled you name it they got it okay we're starting to sound like an ad and we don't really mean to do that but you can get them in the link links in the description below but our experience with beer is actually long and varied we now I was never a Beer Drinker though and neither were you right so many many years ago I drank Kors light okay that was that was it many years ago that was his first mistake right yeah I mean and then I didn't drink beer for like 20 years wasn't my thing but actually on the channel one of our oldest videos is me reviewing a beer kit Brian sitting in the backyard drinking some beer that he brewed filmed on an iPad and I think I had air airpod uh earbuds earbuds in for a microphone yeah I think I don't know it might have just been right on it was a long time ago yeah it was it was pretty bad I'll just say that but that leads us to our first experience home brewing beer and that was through a kit yep I don't even remember which kit that was but it was not very good instructions and they had I think it was a porter I or a brown ale it was I don't remember the beer itself tasted fine the instructions for the kit were great and they they made it unclear and I thought as a beginner this isn't cool and what's really interesting is that was kind of one of our first foray into beer making at all so actually I think that was our first yeah so not knowing much about beer and still learning about wine and Mead making at the time it was uh intimidating for us and and it really got me thinking about how do people actually do this if you just buy a kit it also got us really frustrated because I if I remember correctly it was referring to directions that were included yeah it saying all these directions it gave like very basic instructions and they were referring to other instructions that weren't in the in the Box they weren't there I couldn't find them on their website nothing so it was very confusing and that kind of that may have actually helped shape some of the ways that we do our videos absolutely absolutely kind of funny how one little experience can shape things six year 6 and a half years later we're still kind of and even now I feel like we're constantly kind of checking ourselves to say did we not explain that well enough did we gloss that over too much assuming yeah perhaps things we shouldn't assume it's a fine line between assuming that every single person coming in has never brewed before and keeping people who have brewed before interested and we're always trying to balance that with you know we do silly things I mean let's be honest we're we're kind of silly people even when we haven't been drinking um so we do things that are funny but a lot of the time it's done for repetition sake so that it sticks in your brain like you remember turbos if I just say don't forget to sanitize your equipment does not have the same if I'm the red bucket of cation big difference and I know it irritates some people I hear about it all the time but what's funny is for every person that says they hate it there's 20 that say they love it so we keep doing it because it's entertaining it's funny sticks in here and if it really bothers you I'm very sorry but if that bothers you how can you possibly watch our show I just just got to say that you know we're kind of nuts we are and we are nuts on purpose which is what we were trying to convey there I like to think nuts with a purpose nuts with a purpose there you go I I Can Drink To That cheers by the way if you watched the raspberry beer you noticed that I changed the spigot on the top of this seems to work a little bit better than the picnic tap um there was more head we did pictures for the thumbnail beforehand so the head went down a little bit but it is holding head quite nicely yeah it it did a great job just sounds weird to use the word head that much in well you know we're talking about beer speaking of beer after our kit experience I decided to go into All Grain we went to All Grain you know immediately from a crappy kit to All Grain which is interesting and that's I think a beautiful illustration of how we approach things it's like we like we stick a a tiptoe in there and then we just dive straight in and then jump in boom uh cuz but I think one of the first beers we made was my porter which is still like one of the best recipes we beer um and we did the peanut butter uh Porter which was our version of uh sweet baby Jesus and we did a review like better actually better yeah and that's another interesting thing that I've seen played out with our beer attempts is that we we don't replicate a specific style we rarely do that we don't like to clone things one of the reasons being is that it can be highly regimented and this is based on the German beer brewing laws and there's reasons for that and I completely appreciate that and I think those are important within the the commercial yeah uh so it's almost not fair to try to replicate it at home why not make your own but for us we don't want to have to be limited by those restrictions and regulations so that's why we try very hard to stay away with I am going to be making a Pyon or whatever get that all the time somebody says oh can you make this exact beer that I had at this one place one time 15 years ago very specific perer I'm like probably not is I've never had it and I'm not we're not really beer experts at all no we just know what we like and that's that's different in beer we just know what we like and so that's that's what we do we we we really liked the sweet baby Jesus so we're like okay that's a dark peanut butter beer let's just make a dark peanut butter beer and see how we do and we did great so yeah yes uh but we're not categorizing it beyond that it's more of a flavor combination characterization rather than a specific beard type like I like Guinness so my porter was kind of my version of making Guinness at home so I didn't have to spend 12 bucks for a six sixpack that's really all it was and if you compare it with Guinness does it taste just like Guinness no it doesn't but for for us had enough similarity it brings the Guinness like qualities to the table and an expert that was good no they'd be like nope this is nothing like Guinness and that's fine and that brings us up to our most current experiment with beer and that's this lovely creation which was to kind of replicate the lindaman's Lambic framboise kind which we knew that was the inspiration going in there's no way not going to happen just first we're not in Belgium can't make a Lambic we could make a wild ferment but we can't make a Lambic Lambic is actually like a people have been telling me a little bit more as as times progress too um that a Lambic is actually a sour wild ferment well this ended up being a little bit of a sour because there was a brano mces in it uh we killed that with pasteurization though right and it is not a wild yeast fermentation because we did actually use yeast to create this but it did end up with a little bit of the properties of limic right so that was our happy accident with this is that we went in knowing we're not going to make the thing we want make expecting that we weren't going to be able to make it and then to accidentally get as close as we did to it I mean don't get me wrong this is probably only 50% there but flavor wise it's got a nice raspberry flavor a good beer flavor it's fantastic and I'm so pleased and that is part of I love the chaos that video my reasoning for creating this video for you is to let you know what our experience has been throughout City studying well let me back this up this was supposed to be a cider talk we're still doing the cider talk oh we are separately we had a whole gallon of this beer and I was like I really don't want that to go bad tell this is a heavily scripted video yeah these are not scripted these are just us talking about various things just trying to give think of it more like a behind the scenes of all the stuff that we do and our thought processes and explaining like how we achieve where we got and where we started and that sort of thing so that gives you kind of an idea of where we started with beer along the way we haven't drastically improved it I mean we've actually gone more to extracts and things like that right and so back to the original of our experience we started off with the the kit and we were underwhelmed then we went okay we were underwhelmed with the making of it but not with the drinking of it drinking of it was actually quite nice we accidentally did a good job so yeah then we went full on full grain mesh with different we we started stockpiling different grain types and malts and and then we took so long in between making beer that they they went bad they got buggy cuz Florida you got to use that stuff you so if if you in a warmer climate like we are and you plan on making a beer tight just buy what you need to make don't don't buy excess thinking oh someday because if that someday doesn't come you don't do it within a month or two you're going to end up throwing away a lots of product and if you're like us that hates throwing stuff away being wasteful it's going to make you sad so don't be sad uh so then after all grain we went into to liquid extract Brew in a bag well brew a bag see okay somebody tell me what the real difference is I understand that Brew in a bag is using grains and it's in a bag but would that not still be considered a type of All Grain or yeah because I've seen people say brw a bags like cheating all grain I'm like but it it is all grain you're still using grains right this is where I'm I'm confused on that but I just wanted to do that because I know that there are some beer people that are much more knowledgeable than us that are going to say their different things and so I toled tell me what the difference is know both types then from there we went to the the liquid malt extract I believe yep and we really enjoyed that I'm not good at pouring from it we we really enjoyed that but the volume of the liquid malt was much more than our typical it's made to make five gallons we made one Gall we made one gallon and so thinking because I read some was told that it shouldn't spoil because it's so concentrated like honey that's not true it SPO spoed it molded so that had to be we lost 80% of that because we only used enough to make one gallon so then and that kind of turned us off of beer for a while it did it did and and we were looking at our numbers because you know this is we're we're we're making these videos not just for our own self-pleasure we're we're making these videos to try to to fill your need as a viewer what are you people to watch what what information do you want and so we were seeing that the view numbers on our beer videos weren't as high as say on our wines our Meads and our ciders so we kind of laid off thinking people really weren't interested in our beer and then a lot of people started asking for beer recipes and a lot of people started asking for beer recipes we're like but why would you want that when nobody's watching and then we reassessed their numbers and we realized wasn't that bad it took long it took longer the numbers to build up so people were still watching but they're watching months even years after we made the initial when we would make a me video it would get a lot of views right away and then drop off pretty quick which that's typical on YouTube a beer video wouldn't get as many views at first but over time would trickle in and basically equal the me videos so it's kind of interesting how they I think they're still a different audience yep but by using there's more to it but by getting into simpler beard I think we actually kind of made that crossover right so then after the liquid malt extract scenario we went to the dry malt and we found out that we could purchase just enough a pound at a time right in the bag pre-measured ready to go no boiling required except for hop additions if you didn't want a dry hop and that seemed to be the perfect scenario for us because we could make a really simple beer in a one gallon volume without any wastage right and we could buy there's there's tons of different well in the dry malt there's like four or five there's not a lot there's like blonde there's the light and then there's the Dark Golden Light there's dark there's chocolate there's a lot more I you can also still add ad junks though right right you would probably get into that yes uh and so through other experimentations with me we have been starting to utilize extracts and so we're we found through this we added fresh raspberries initially and then to bump up the raspberry notes at the end we added raspberry extract I think it added depth too and there are so many different extracts that you can purchase or make we have videos on making your own extract if that's what you're interested in that you can extract that you can tweak the flavors at the and to to dial it in exactly where you want and it just it it gives a lot of control and a lot of creative freedom at the same time and that's really exciting so because our our little chaos monkey here the raspberry beer turned out so fantastic I mean I'm on my second whatever size glass this is we just started filming I'm really excited I'm really excited about the World of Beer yeah and's possibilities I never thought those were words would come out of my mouth but well I was always just dark beer like once once we started making beer again I was just like I just want dark beer like when we were still wedding photographers and doing this we would go like to this one place after weddings cuz they were open really late and they always had like a list of beers all these craft beers and I almost always got a dark beer you got a lot of ciders and you got a sour cider once that you really didn't like which started us on the idea that we don't like sour cuz I tried it and I said nope I don't like that either but all the dark beers that I would try they were always like chocolatey or um peanut buttery or something along those lines or coffee flavor beers stuff like that that that was kind of like my wheelhouse for beer but I also we tried the lindamans once and was like whoa yeah that is good they have other flavors too but the frambo seems to be the best one they have a cherry one as well there's another name for that too there's a name for a cherry beer somebody will tell me cuz somebody asked me to make one I was like isn't that just a cherry Lambic that's basically the categories of the different ingredients and styles that we did right I mean well now we're starting to mix things like we made a braggot which is me beer combo right somebody asked the other day could you take uh malt extract honey maple syrup and apple juice and make a mixture and I'm like well that's a lot of for sugars I mean we we did maple syrup theer CER Glen Acer the CER GL yeah yeah I mean that was just a combination of different kinds of Meads with maple syrup and apple juice beer thrown in yeah this would be with malt thrown in so I don't see why not I mean people have asked can you use it to sweeten and I've never tried that but I don't see why not it is literally just like liquid malt extract if you taste it it's it's malt syrup is what it really is it'll ferment cuz it's kind of like honey almost yeah so it's a concentrated fermentable sugars from yeah so even the dry stuff sure yeah it's a little see varying reports on this it seems to be slightly less sugars per pound than like regular sugar and I would think it's a lot more expensive than using regular sugar but it might add a multi flavor to things so we might need to try that and even without the Hops make like a uh a higher oh I like this idea a me that has maltt extract used for some of the sugars not all the sugars keep it a mead so we make something like 12% or so 13% that has like 60/40 maybe 40% comes from malt and 60% comes from meat because that way if we don't carbonate it we don't hop it we can sweeten it to taste and it might be that might be really really awesome I like that idea yeah yep just got to because the malt is going to add a natural sweetness to it already because there's non-fermentable sugars in there but it also adds some nutrient value for the yeast because most beers don't really need much yeast nutrient if any at all because it's it's in there um but also the tanic aspects and things like that that's a neat thing to play with I I kind of like that idea it'll taste like a barley wine y a a honey flavored barley wine I really I like that concept speaking of brags brags we have a braggot coming out in the near future that still working on it we're still working on it we're really hopeful because it was a hope we're bottling it today for it was a joint kind of brain storm thing between us and you our viewers and our VIPs we have some question y uh so that'll be cool I hope it hope it comes out really well yeah today is the first time that we're actually going to taste it I think yeah so knock on simulated wood yeah it's but that that was that's neat and we've that's our second bragget the first braget actually came out really nice too um I think braggot are not my favorite thing and here here's why because usually you don't sweep them okay to me me needs to be sweeter I like my me sweet so when you mix the Mead with the beer it lessens the residual sweetness I also think there's a double bittering because if you hop the beer aspect of the braggot and then you have that that tiny little tiny bitter fermented hone especially dry I'm wondering maybe maybe I can make a brag that isn't hopped I might I might want to try that I mean that's kind of like my barley barley wine Mead that I just described I'm thinking something a little lower that isn't hopped might be interesting to try we could also dry hop if we just wanted the Aromas see there's so many ways to go with beer and this is what's cool about it um by the way something I want to talk about somebody said they've never thought to do The Farmhouse ale style like we do um actually let me talk about The Farmhouse Al style cuz it's been glossed over in a bunch of videos but we've never actually talked about it derekica mentioned you don't have to boil the beer well it's true you don't have to boil beer at all anymore even All Grain I know a lot of people are going to be really mad at me for making that statement but there are many places in Europe that the traditional way that they made the beer and some still do it today usually it's very small a Community Driven one household driven kind of thing is called a farmhouse ale what they do is they actually take the Hops and put it in water and boil it separately usually not even as long I mean you can boil them just as long and they still do the additions because the longer you boil hops the more bitter it becomes so it depends on your bittering and how much you want of each one how many additions you do and when but the real trick is they do the extraction and conversion of the the grains into sugars Into The Malt but they don't actually boil the wart once that's done it's believed okay the boiling of wart happened eons ago because sometimes water wasn't as good sometimes they weren't getting as much out of the grains as they thought they might so they boiled it to concentrate it and and it did sanitize along the way so even if the water wasn't so good I part of it was the quality of the grains themselves not necessarily the water quality of the grains and quity the water so combine those two things together boil the heck out of something you just killed everything so sure it's going to be great and it did reduce infections as well but another thing is people thought that the bubbling of the boiling gave carbonation to the beer at the end so that was another we come a long way baby so yeah now I also want to point something out everybody says oh water was horrible back then okay there was clean water there was also polluted water but there was clean water if there wasn't people would have died because you cannot just yeah you want more now because you can't just live on alcohol alone and wine alone you can't no matter how much you might want to you really can't it's not a good idea okay getting better with the pores I have this set to five PSI cuz somebody told me between five and 10 I mean that's that's about perfect that's beautiful look at that seems like the first pour is no good and after that they get better it's so pretty now I don't want to drink it just drink it I'll drink it it's okay don't worry I'll drink it um so the idea that water was always bad that's just bad idea um what are you doing the Vana White thing over there for your beer yes I love this glass I love this beer it is a nice glass that that glass actually does work really nice for beer so but it's a low stem it's less likelihood that Derrick is going to spazz and knock it all over the place see people say that I interrupt her all the time we interrupt each other we interrupt each other constantly just I can't edit myself out when I interrupt so it looks like I do it more than she does but in reality it's pretty equal um it it happens often all things equal in this household yeah I although I you know I'll be honest I probably step on her more and she steps on me but anyway so The Farmhouse style getting back to that they boil the Hop separately and then you just extract the grains and all that kind of thing and then they add that to the wart and then they ferment it and it works just fine that's the style that I have adopted for what we do because especially with extracts there is no reason to boil it other than to dissolve the solids but as we've shown even if you don't dissolve them all the yeast are going to get to it so it's not super critical except for getting your original starting gravity that's that's the only real reason and I don't know if if anybody's noticed but we're starting to get a little more loose with the estimations because here's the problem we have had many people that I I try to dissuade this Behavior but we get people that say oh my reading was this and my second reading was this so that makes my my ABV my ABV 11.56 257 I'm like you can't be that precise about it and they get concerned if they're like a quarter of a point off and I'm like oh you can't you all right so I'm just I'm going to interrupt I'm just party break right here and I can understand where they're coming from because they are believing in the math and sure the math is math they're right on that but the math is not the problem the problem is your instruments that you're using to get the original numbers to create that math because they are not even just that they are limited and they're U help me out with words specificity and accuracy right and beyond that you are a person and you're like okay so the first thing is you have a hydrometer that you're taking a reading see I just stepped on her I'm sorry it's okay we're you have a hydrometer that you're taking a reading that only goes to two points so it's accuracy 02 right so you have to be able to read that accurately which to me I'm going to say once you get past a certain age are you within a point or two of it sure that's as close as you're probably ever going to get but to judge that to be so perfectly accurate is not really and beyond that a liquid is not a straight line those of you that are familiar with dealing with liquids and readings understand the curvature now you've taken two of those in the way and there's all that so you can only as accurate even as as perfect as you are at understanding how to read as accurate as that measurement is so the math might have a gilon based off of that decimals after it but it's only going to be as accurate as the decimals that are available in your original reading right that's the point but but it's more than that let me explain because you have the first reading that could be off then you have a second reading that could be off too and then you're calculating those two readings but those readings only go to so many places you can't go further than that number of places for decimals and be accurate plus the formula is used are all estimations too because there's various amounts of different alcohols and solutions and stuff and everything in there so even that is an estimation right so anything more than a point or two like a literal one percentage point or two percentage points is really just estimating like if I say this beer is 5% it could be anywhere from 4 to 6 and I'm okay with that because as I've said a million times if you hand someone something they say I'm not drinking that it's only 4% don't give them anymore I mean really if somebody's going to be that petty about it we see this with wines all the time I was just trying to explain it from the Der point of view because the Derica point of view is math semi-illiterate math and I numbers and I are not friends but I I can understand the disconnect between the math right and the the measurement itself and people expect the math to make it right when Brian because Brian understands all that stuff it's just he does he doesn't I don't I feel like sometimes you have a problem relating to a person that's possible yeah that is just like I did the math and so but the math is based off of flawed reading but that's that's that's not their understanding their understanding is they did the math and they're absolutely right you're absolutely right you did the math the math is correct the math is not the problem the problem is how that math equates with the readings you took in the first place and their correlation the math itself because it's still just a formula based off of supposed numbers and assumed numbers that aren't always the same and as we know as you go higher up in ABV the amount of ethanol is higher therefore the numbers would be more and more skewed that's why we use 135 as our coefficient rather than 13125 so there's multiple things B on ABV blah blah blah see there's so many variables right so to say I used your math and I got this five 15 I mean I've seen some people one guy did like eight digits and I'm like it's that those are immaterial those don't work but he was trying to improve it by like 0.002% or something I'm like who cares can you even tell a diff 0.002% I mean think about that not 02 0.002% and they have that right to to try to get that well I tried really hard to be nice and explain to him that there's no difference you're not going to and if this conversation right here doesn't prove to you that we have two very separate mindsets on how this is done and I don't know what will neither one of us are Yes Men no we are very OBS I'm much more of the numbers person than you are yeah and know I agree to that I mean I look around the world and all right um I'm a cthe because I don't see like some of my senses are mixed that's the easiest way to say it numbers of colors yeah number numbers and volumes come out as colors and shapes but it's never the same twice I just instinctively know what it is it's really really weird but if you get in a car and you need to know where to go don't ask him yeah I suck at directions I'm horrible if somebody starts reading off Direction go three blocks turn left and then go a half mile and go this way I'm like wait a minute so I go straight I'm horrible at that we all have strengths and we all have weaknesses but that's why formulas and the volumes and stuff I can usually calculate those pretty closely yeah um because I don't see numbers the way most people do and definitely different than she sees numbers numbers are pink elephant zebra tiger I don't know what oh god oh my god we've tried to to talk about it too and it just it never it doesn't work my my childhood trying to pass math classes and having my father who is literally rocket a rocket scientist tried to help me it was it was bad times whereas my problem in most classes in math was show your work why did I get it right yes but show your work okay I looked at the formula and said this that's my work prev visualization yep so I'll pass the formula into the numbers themselves then yeah but we back to beer yeah we' got away from beer although if you watch the Yahoo serus movie where he was trying to make bubbly beer there was a lot of math in that so I'm going with that all right that's a story forget the name of the movie stick it it was it was funny years ago so besides um the various malt types that we've used and the the styles of Brewing we've gone off the rails as is our way so Shandy where we combined beer and lemonade and we did it wrong and we did it wrong and cuz apparently lemonade in England is not lemonade it's like it's like Sprite spr or something we it's what Americans would call Sprite or seven up which to me that sounds interesting as well so we made a lemon beer really but it was good fantastic no problems with and there's still two left in our refrigerator and I'm trying really hard not to drink them wow it was really low ABV I know but by the way I just want to say something this is the first alcohol that I have had since last Wednesday or Thursday y we're trying to you know cut back a little bit I'm trying to be better about things but yeah literally this is the first alcohol we've had mhm but anyway that's neither here nor there um it's our little mini PSA drink responsibly ladies and gentlemen just because you're Brewing it doesn't mean you drink it all at once well today I am except for today well that's what these are about this is like a drink with us and let's talk about some stuff of thing you know so I'm trying to think of the um so the braggot those were another variant beer variant and that's the the the bridging of beer and Mead we also did groots oh Groot we need to do another Groot that's old style preh Hops Beer yeah where they used herbs as the bittering agent rather than just hops I think we screwed up our first Groot I don't think it I didn't like it and we did a chai Groot once that I didn't like either we need to do just a basic Groot there it is fruit Groot what are you doing I still have our bottle if you hold it still I might be able to zoom the camera into it Groot am I turning it right there maybe that's better uh so this is this is a example of yes I actually do labels occasionally back in the day that weren't and no that's not just a copied picture of Groot that's actually like four pictures she together I did so much cuz I'm just like I do not want to be sued by Disney or anybody else yeah well you're still using groot's name so yeah and that's why we're not selling it oh yeah we don't sell it that and that we're not licensed to sell it we ask that all the time how can I buy some of your stuff you can't you can't we teach you how to make it on purpose um and we have researched in depth on how to become a brewery SL we thought about it uh dist distribution had Partners at one time the problem is that you can't just get a single license to cover all aspect wine has a license beer and cider have a license and meat has a license I think all there's three and then you need a separate property and then you need to be licensed to make it essentially and then you have another LIC expensive distribute it and it just it's a nightmare and in our area the it's like a lottery to even get the license because have so many and they're well we can get the license to create we can't get the license to sell right not necessarily so so it's kind of crazy and that's why we haven't done it um it is something we've thought about and you know it's nice as a oh yeah someday but I don't think that someday is going to come um I am actually quite comfortable in the lifestyle that we've grown accustom to I like making videos and I like teaching and so there because of this platform we have been afforded some other opportunities that help fulfill those desires to create beyond that and and I don't think I could be stuck in the back room of a metery all day I don't I think that would bother me but we've been lucky enough to become not only Partners but good friends with people who do that sort of thing and are properly licensed and so we're going to further that friendship and that collaboration yeah there's something coming from two Warriors meery I don't want to spill the beans or anything but there's something coming but that's me not beer um but there's there's other things in the works and we're really excited about it and we're really grateful uh that we've been able to make these connections with people and and uh like-minded individuals because that not only helps the Brewing community and large but it directly gives us a conduit to our viewers to help you fulfill maybe there's there's something that you really wanted to experience or to create but there was something missing and if you can give us that information now we have other people that we can talk with right to perhaps fulfill that need that they from their point of view and their business weren't aware was even there and that's that's really exciting to me yeah never really thought about it that way um that makes sense the people that we that that we're working with right now and how open they are we have a lot of sources for information yep so every once in a while somebody ask a question that you know I mean not every once in a while often people ask a question I just don't know the answer to offand I do cursory search but then I'll start asking people who actually work with these things and that that's awesome because that's something that wouldn't have happened without the channel we would not have had those opportunities or that information come to us yeah and you know we're still very much into to keeping it simple keeping it more down toe and approachable cuz that's that's the whole point of our Channel at all is not to be fancified about stuff we're not looking to make fancy things we're looking to make good stuff and our main goal the main thing is we want the average person or anybody to be able to say I made this that's really the ultimate goal of our show is I made this share it with your family and friends and they all love it or like it at least and you enjoy doing it that's the goal of our show is to make it approachable and accessible to anybody because the stuff that we teach was done in the home a hundred years ago people did it at home everybody did and then somewhere along the way it became this oh no you can't do that at home it's dangerous dangerous no it's not it's not dangerous at all it's no more dangerous than cooking actually cooking is more dangerous than Homebrew you're more likely to get sick from badly prepared food than from badly prepared home R unless you do something stupid with the home R which don't do anything stupid yeah don't uh I think we have talked about everything but beer about everything but beer and hopefully enough about beer to make this worthy to know I'm going to probably call this beer and everything but beer I think that's a great title for this this bir talk if you have any comments questions or suggestions particularly if it pertains to beer please let us know comments below or if there is something you'd like to see us just pour a pint and talk about let us know because that's a video style that I'm really interested in I like giving a little behind the scenes and more information this is these are talks that you can't give this information in a video right and if we did it'd get lost among the 700 videos on our channel so being able to put it into one little talk little this is now at 39 minutes I'm going to edit it down a little bit but putting into one video that you can search for and find just that information I think that's a really neat idea it's something we're looking to do a little bit more kind of to give um a way that you can search our channel for specific topics and find those topics and find something that we talked about and it's not just informative hopefully it's slightly entertaining as well we tend to be right we've implemented these these topic specific uh conversations through our V VIP Club uh that's a paid membership and uh certain tiers are available to a a zoom a group Zoom with us included and many of our admins if they can make it or we talk about specific topics and we discuss them in depth let me explain what she's talking about once a month we have what's called a zoom hangout and the uh back room B Jesus and plaid memberships all have access to this and what it literally is is a zoom meeting a zoom hangout where we're all on our cameras and using microphones all equal just looks like playing Hollywood Squares you got just a bunch of people up there and or The Brady Bunch intro you know and we started introducing topics to talk about and it's really transformed them into a really good uh informative session don't get me wrong there's there's Shenanigans there's csb Bingo and usually some amount of shenanigans I change people's names into something funny um I have muted a couple of people just because I felt like it and it just found it his iCal um other times we just have crazy talks about all kinds of stuff and it's just really interesting it lets us get to know you better and lets you have kind of a you instantly have our ear if you want to talk to us about something and it's they've worked out really great we've been doing them once a month for a couple years now yeah and so these brw talks are kind of a glimpse into what that might be if you were to join very one-sided cuz you're not talking back from the camera so all we have is the comment section so if you have something that you want to know ask away are we done we're done I think we're done as always guys thanks so much for watching have a great day byebye [Music]
