Beer School: what is yeast? | The Craft Beer Channel
What the funk?! It's been ages since our last Beer School but we're back with 20 minutes of deep diving into the miracle microbe that is YEAST! Join us as we explore one of the world's largest brewing yeast factories, Lallemand in Vienna, and learn the basics of yeast biology - then head to Northern Monk and Little Earth Project to find out how that's put into practice!

[@SeekingSelf]

The best beer channel!

[@asawhite2220]

I put on the subtitles to try and understand what the Northern Monk brewer was saying, but it was auto-generated. And of course it struggled even more that I, with quite humorous results at times.

[@jcinsaniac]

Wonderfully crafted and delightfully entertaining...and you learn something or two to boot. Can't beat this team - great stuff. Cheers!

[@DeltaAlphaNovember27]

Loving the recent return of beer school! I'd love if you did a series on more advances homebrews with SS brewtech/spike brewing etc equipment!

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

We are currently working on lots more homebrew content so hang tight!

[@thespencerarms2022]

Absolutely fantastic video . I never knew all these facts about yeast . Unbelievable chemistry right there 🤩. Cheers guys .🍻Speno

[@barrycranston5122]

Excellent.

[@ale-iensbrewery8871]

Awesome as usual guys. Keep them coming please.

[@BrewReview]

Very good overview of yeast here! Glad to see the return of beer school. Keep it up dudes!

[@schweigsamerdan]

great feature! much thanks! brian is as always spot on! even as a brewer i learned something! top!

[@theoldoakbrewhouse7859]

Great stuff as always guys🍻👍

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Cheers!

[@adamcunningham1137]

I love this video guys. Well done, I can tell a lot of great work went into making it! I'm a research scientist and watching this makes me want to look into genetic engineering of yeast for the purpose of making nice beers lol!

[@glutenfreebrewing]

Thoroughly enjoyed it one of your best thankyou!

[@cedced29]

Holy shiiiit. Where I worked in mtl it smelled like beer outside in most days. Looked it up and lallement was right there. Now I know why !!

[@oskarogonowski1590]

I would love to buy those Sourvisiae, sounds like great idea. Thanks for this video!

[@joeengland3655]

I had questions and the answers are all in this video.. well done.

[@Rostas29]

Great video guys!👍👍

[@anderslindqvist9686]

Good video. Now I must try Lallemand New England dry yeast in my next homebrew.

[@HomebrewGriffo]

Great video! Nice to see Mario has put his plumbing skills to good use! :-)

[@matthewmousley3755]

Your videos are so great. I’m fairly new to the whole craft beer world and taking it all in. I’ve learnt so much from your channel in such a short space of time. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Thanks so much Matthew - if you ever have any questions hit us up on social (T @beerchannel or I @craftbeerchannel) or here!

[@erehwon80]

Great work guys. 👍🍻

[@cbet4870]

This guy explains yeast so even I can understand it.

[@tylerb6081]

Very cool!

[@davidbrun]

Great video, guys! As always, as soon as I watch one of your videos, I wanna go to the garage and brew some more beer! (or, actually, make a sugary fermentable liquid out of grains so a bunch of yeasties turn it into beer for my pleasure) :D

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Haha. Damn straight!

[@mrougelot]

Excellent video again. Yeast is always the toughest element to master when it comes to beer but you provided on the same video a great overview of the basics as well as an insight in what new stuff is happening and what might come next.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@douglasdsr]

Amazing video, you're the best craft berr channel.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Thanks so much!

[@mikebeswick3420]

Very interesting

[@ianlaker9161]

It is nothing short of a miracle. I'm an experienced all-grain home brewer and used to tasting and evaluating the wort prior to fermentation. But at best that is a rough estimation. As long as you provide the right environment and temperature for yeast to work and you are scrupulously sanitary then magic takes place. I will never lose that joyous wonder at how my brewday results in the finished beer. Great episode guys.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Beautifully put!

[@MikeDent]

Great video Jonny. Needed some subtitles in the Northern Monk clips though. 🤘🏼. Thanks. I imagine it took you ages to put together?! Nice production.

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Haha apologies. You can turn on subtitles...but those are automatic so I dread to think what it made of Brian's accent!

[@jeffbrislane5782]

Yeah, who'd think a couple of guys in Austria speak better english than an english guy in leeds! 😂

[@robertnicklesii3342]

Good I ain't the only one you doesn't understand the Leeds accent!

[@AndrewLynch9]

This just reminded me to make a new yeast starter of my Conan I harvested from my last batch 👍

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Haha you are welcome! A slightly long winded reminder...

[@AndrewLynch9]

The Craft Beer Channel so good though!

[@AndrewLynch9]

Popped a pic on fb 🍻

[@5minutecraftdesi]

Nice

[@Captain_K787]

Great stuff Johny! Gonna have to watch this a few times :-)

[@keifereef9673]

👍🍺

[@UIMGodzilla]

wow just spent 2 hours researching yeasts and esters. Anyone have any recommendations for a yeast strain that produces passion fruit or grapefruit or pineapple esters?

[@TheCraftBeerChannel]

Well Brett can make pineapple flavours in certain conditions. I'll have to get back to you on the others but I expect passionfruit is achievable by some English ale yeasts/New England yeasts in combination with the right hops.

[@UIMGodzilla]

@@TheCraftBeerChannel Thank you for responding! I'm definitely looking at getting a New England yeast for my next home brew, I'm probably getting ahead of myself looking at esters this early on, as my first home brew batch isn't even ready to try until this Sunday but i'm just excited learning about the vastness of the world of home brewing.

[@pradyotgautam5603]

I m yr viewer from india

[@RagdyAndy]

from Pangea... seriously LOL that was embarrassing, Nice video though

[@santiagokaderian544]

Always putting the example of Belgium, when you the English used the Brett in porter in 1700's. The porter change later with Guiness...and the rest is history. Cheers from Argentina

[@navigationsfilms]

"Special formula creates Biomass but not alcohol" Very curious what it is, so I can apply in my brewery

[@jauld360]

I suspect that they mean aerobic fermentation, which is good for cell viability and multiplication. That's why we oxygenate wort, to boost the number of healthy, viable yeast at prior to anaerobic fermentation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_fermentation

[@schweigsamerdan]

and yeah super hard to understand brian as non native speaker ;)

[@crisscross2310]

Imagine not understanding how to gram stain and trying to work with microorganisms like saccharomyces 😅🤦

[@unklestu]

Buckle up buckaroo

[@robertnicklesii3342]

I can't understand the nerdy, bearded, skinny fellow with the fluorescent vest who brews beer.

[@BrokenSofa]

jesus christ I hardly understand a word that comes out of that leeds fellow
