Very interesting but better watched in 1.25x speed
Imagine using water from the Ganges River for beer now 😋
No mention of the worlds oldest brewery? Weihenstephan since 1040 still operating today!
2:37 The chewing isn't to start the fermentation process.
It is done because maize doesn't contain the necessary enzymes (Alpha & Beta Amylase) to convert long-chain, unfermentable starches into shorter-chain fermentable sugars.
Our saliva contains such enzymes.
The chewing introduces these enzymes, allowing for the formation of fermentable sugars.
4:00 Not pronounced 'Groot,' but 'Groo-it.'
12:45 Rice and corn are also used because of the use of 6-row barley commonly used in the US, which has a much higher protein content than 2-row barley used in Europe.
I think you really need to do a series of videos (at least 3-4) on the Rwanda genocide + Congo Wars, a truly fascinating part of history that shows the depth of human depravity even in modern society
Watch on 1.3x speed for the voice to sound almost human.
The importance of the purified yeast is quite understated here. The consistency of beer brewing was almost non exisiting before Carlsberg isolated Sachoromyces Carlsbergensis. Carlsber could have kept this secret but Jacobsen felt that this discovery should benefit humanity rather than his wallet alone…
History of coffee or cannabis next please!
