Designing a beer recipe at Tree House!

In this video Nate explains the concept of a recipe on our set-up at Tree House Brewing Company. It may not be what you think, but we are hopeful this will provide a bit of insight into our process and the level of precision our brewery is capable of.

What makes you think I don't want to talk about it for hours? I am a software engineer and a home brewer. This is really cool! Thanks Nate

[@frigorifix]

Awesome content ! The "behind the scene" vids of the brewery are really the best. Thanks !

[@treehousebrewco]

Glad you like them!

[@BanjosBikesBrewing]

Awesome video Nate! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to more of these behind the scenes brewery videos. I hope I can plan a trip to the Northeast and visit the brewery sometime soon.

[@jamesaaronrolandosantiago19]

More content on the technical side of brewing please!! Haha

[@treehousebrewco]

working on it!

[@filmscorefreak]

wow, i love this, wouldn't mind a very extended version. Nate explains things so well! great episode! thanks

[@treehousebrewco]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@khfarias1]

Wow. Fascinating. Great stuff!

[@MATTW3R]

Super cool!

[@brettbeard4770]

"Secret Sauce" is blurred out. Dang it Nate!

[@FermentationAdventures]

There is a screenshot with the grist hydration/mill step… it’s just a total amount and the rate it’s being added to the liquor… not what it actually is and in what ratios. Not sure why it’s blurred.

[@AlexBradford23]

This is the stuff I love as an aspiring brewery owner

[@wdavis5758]

So awesome! More back of house please! Love it!!

[@treehousebrewco]

working on it!

[@ExpiredFreedom]

Relatively new QA/QC brewery worker here with sooo many questions, and would absolutely love an extensive video on this stuff. Been watching all of your videos but was so glad to see another going behind the scenes of it all!

[@ricksbeeradventures]

Always enjoy your beer videos and your beers, keep up the great work, America's greatest brewery in my humble opinion, Cheers!🍻

[@JamesBabb]

I’m starting to learn why TH beers are so consistently wonderful. I love this kind of content. Makes me thirsty!

[@kingquesoIV]

I love all of your videos. So far I have made the stout and hazy IPA that you did videos on. People have told me that they're some of the best beers I've made.

[@beerbarnbrewing9160]

Love the brew house videos!!

[@treehousebrewco]

More to come!

[@preuc3367]

very cool to see as a homebrewer

[@usagi1969]

Awesome video!🔥🔥 The SW is similar to what use in my day for various testing.! Excellent!

[@JustHall87]

These videos have come a LONGGGGGG way since the brewery tour videos ya'll started with :)

[@treehousebrewco]

Thanks!

[@aaronchesnes3171]

This is amazing! I’ve been in the Building Automation (HVAC) side for 15 years and the similarities are crazy! From the setup to the trends it’s virtually the same! Definitely would love to see more! Wish we won the bid when you were building in Charlton. I work for Automated Logic and we did the Spencer brewery. Love this!

[@user-dr4uw2cz3k]

The video was great, cheers Nate, cheers treehouse. The essence of precision is the essence of treehouse brewing.🍻

[@treehousebrewco]

Indeed it is!

[@dennisdriscoll]

Fascinating. Thanks for letting us see behind the curtain.

[@treehousebrewco]

hey Dennis!

[@jshall14]

Brewing at that scale and on a system like that, a brewer has to almost be an engineer. It’s impressive how dialed in you guys are. One thousand turns a year will do that! If your BSG rep watches the channel and saw what was under the monitors, you might be getting a call 😉

[@paulff3]

Morning Nate.

[@HeavyMetalWarriorHUN]

Great video, really appreciate it as a homebrewer! I'd also like to see how you approach a recipe from the idea to the final recipe! Cheers from Hungary!

[@ts6141]

Finally made it to Charlton yesterday,what a facility,and the beer 🔥🔥

[@treehousebrewco]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@davidfoxton7905]

“Similar” to my eyes. today’s NEIPA I saw it was not circulating wel, stirred the sticky mash l and extended the mash time. Perfectly hit my numbers, OG & fermenter volume! 😅 Always a pleasure when this happens homebrewing 😊 you’re in a different world with different problems

[@brewtimematters7395]

Now this Video shows many years of research trial error. Semi Automation is very interesting. Do you change Mash temps per Beer Style or specific beer. Reason I ask is changing temps on some of my IPAs can make the hops Pop more or Malts adding front end with the sweetness added or removed . Lower mash temp is sweeter malt ? Higher Mash Temp is sugar remover, dryer finish. ? Love your set up ....Makes a consistent product doable.

[@MileHighGrowler]

So cool to see. And a major leap and a half from my 10-gallon coolers and gravity system to move liquid 😅

[@fyremanbill]

And I thought my Grainfather program was cool! Very interesting video Nate, thanks for sharing.

[@treehousebrewco]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FermentationAdventures]

Endlessly fascinated by this. From the screen shots it looks like the hops are all manually added to the kettle and whirlpool?

[@treehousebrewco]

Yep, critical to add by hand

[@AntonioAbd1234567890]

Cool. Do you guys do protein rest step for the hazy ipas?

[@nelsonviveiros9690]

I would imagine Tree House's version of Arthur Slugworth is watching this video on loop to steal Nate's brewing secrets & put an end to his beer making operation. 😆

[@mbourke85]

Awesome video, please keep them coming. You mention "we aren't worried about efficiency we're worried about wort quality". Is the learning when you're brewing big beers (IIPA) to focus more on the process rather than efficiency?

[@treehousebrewco]

Making good beer is the priority. Efficiency is the last thing we worry about. Not saying we are wasteful, but there are quality issues to consider. For example, a centrifuge will objectively damage your beer, so it’s something we have never done in spite of the massive savings it would create.

[@SeanehKelleh]

speaking precision equiptment have you guys ever considered installing a mash filter?

[@Teh509]

That's some gorgeous process capability right there. Jelly. The GUI looks painful but I get it. I would love to have a semi auto brewhouse, I have to kick things.

[@treehousebrewco]

painful how? It’s pretty intuitive

[@Teh509]

@@treehousebrewco It doesn gel, colours and fonts, window shapes. I'm sure it works great but to me it's a bit of an eyesore. Love these videos btw, keep them coming.

[@brewtimematters7395]

How do you guys @ TreeHouse do test batches ? Do you have a smaller set up to run thru test batches and then Scale to your Brewhouse ? Thanks.

[@treehousebrewco]

we don’t do pilot batches. doing a batch on a less precise system and then scaling it to the one we use all the time would be counterproductive

[@Mikkogram]

as a brewer who works with a bad programmed GUI by Esau and Hueber, ProLeit Brewmaxx looks like heaven

[@treehousebrewco]

Proleit is the Bentley of software- we’ve had an extraordinary experience with them.

[@JPch108]

que quero beber uma .. obrigado

[@paulff3]

A white lab coat for Nate would have worked well here. Monogramed with "Dr. Nate" or "Professor Nate". Later today I will toast with a King Julius and say "objective data!"

[@nevillehood1968]

Hey mate this great vid is gotta be worth a 6 pack from the software designer 👍

[@treehousebrewco]

Sure is! 😎

[@AlexBradford23]

I'm willing to bet Treehouse has more money invested into sensors than most breweries have invested into their entire operation

[@lanceward7009]

And it shows

[@typeviic1]

Does Tree House have a Belgian inspired White?

[@treehousebrewco]

We do

[@vincentwall1]

Surfcaster

[@XkannsenX]

"secret sauce" 🤫😅

[@dralois]

783.3 ml/min 20:07. The numbers, Mason!

[@XkannsenX]

@@dralois Now i can make great beers thanks !

[@dralois]

@@XkannsenX It truly is the secret sauce this number, everything is falling into place.

[@JPch108]

portugal... ok.. no?

[@bassanddrum69]

Can you brew hello mars again

[@paulff3]

Hope all those recipes are backed up somewhere. I'm worried 🙁🙁🙁.

[@treehousebrewco]

Redundancy on top of redundancy

[@AnotherDrummerTX]

Why is every Tree House video scrambled on my side? No others are scrambled but Tree House..

[@fuhmeable]

And people think BeerSmith is complicated. Hah

[@treehousebrewco]

is beer smith still a thing? I haven’t used it in like eight years

[@fuhmeable]

@@treehousebrewco I use it everyday for my homebrew shop. I know a few local commercial brewers locally that still use it. Lot of the newer brewers are using brewfather but I found its options and ingredient list lacking.

[@rivrivrivera2916]

I bet working at a computer brewing , you wish you could be doing it like when you were a home brewer hands on .

[@treehousebrewco]

not even a little bit. I brewed thousands of batches on four different manual set ups and find no romance in it. It is significantly less precise.

[@typeviic1]

Please, no more hoppy beers......
