As someone whose attention span has been slowly degraded by short form content (oops) I somehow never pause or skip a Justinthetrees upload. I’m sitting here like “omg what is he gonna make to go with the bread OHHHH IT’S A BOWL” 😅😂 Your videos are top-notch and inspire me to slow down and try making something!

[@hampuscarlsson6833]

Me too! He is by far my favourite youtuber!

[@cifer5262]

Miles was the best boy. I'm glad you got to share this one last trip with him and us. Thank you so much.

Yeast fact (from a microbiologist who loves those little guys)! If yeast senses that it's in a high-sugar, high-oxygen environment, it starts making alcohol as if it were in a low-oxygen environment, even though it's a lot less efficient than actually using the oxygen. It's called the "Crabtree effect," and we think it's a way for yeast to shut out competing microorganisms by producing a toxic chemical (ethanol) if it finds itself in a really good, nutrient-rich environment. Scientists have actually been able to modify the yeast to disable that sugar sensor, and it leads to fluffier bread! (See Lee et. al., Food Microbiol. 104, 103971 (2022))

[@_jax]

That's actually really interesting!!

[@OtakuNoShitpost]

Why would you make worse yeast like that

[@I_am_a_little_crazed]

As someone who LOVES useless knowledge and fun facts, I find that extremely interesting. Thank you for the bestowing of your priceless knowledge!😂 Seriously though, I had no idea

seeing miles again tug at my heart, glad to see the series back, beautiful piece as always 🫶💐

For California, please do Manzanita. It does technically grow in neighboring states but it grows largest in CA and it’s an absolutely beautiful and very hard wood. If you don’t want to hike in the woods to find some dead manzanita, there’s some decent options on my grandma’s property that you could choose from. I’d be happy to meet up and show you where to take from.

[@nobodylovesditto]

Justin, I've been making bread for years. This is a fantastic loaf of sourdough. Beautifully done. Thank you for showing us a bit more of Miles again.

[@HelloIAmJo]

Thanks for the new video, Justin, and thanks for sharing Miles with us a little bit more.

This has got to be one of the best youtube videos ive ever watched. Your chanel is amazing, how you seamlessly fit together all these interesting amazing ideas and concepts, with great videography is beyond me. Im pretty depressed and getting up is hard, so seeing you, someone who i know isnt a pro but that i have watched grow over the years makes me feel so inspired. To make bread, videos, and most of all to work with wood.

[@demonkiller479]

You remind me a lot of my grandfather. He had quite a few woodworking tools in his garage. He taught me to use the tools with him to make various toys and crafts when I was little. Every trip to my grandparent's house included a wood craft with Grampy. He passed a few years ago and watching these videos makes me feel like I'm a little kid again and he's showing me how to craft. Thank you

[@jcjcjones33]

Wonderful to see another state added. Seeing Miles brought me a lot of joy. I hope you are doing well.

Junipers are one of only 3 conifers native to the uk- fascinating that it's native to large swathes of north America too!

[@jasminv8653]

There's also a southern mediterranean variety that makes red berries/cones!

[@alyssaroxanne9084]

Justin, I heard about Miles’ passing a while back, and am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Thanks for making these videos. I really love the balance of education and entertainment you achieve! I lost my dog, Juniper, a couple years ago. I got a tattoo of a Juniper branch so I can carry her with me. I’ve always loved anything juniper related since I was a kid. So this juniper episode is extra special!

[@samstegos3521]

We’re so back. Love these videos.

[@saraa3418]

So nice seeing you back again! Miles was such a beautiful boy, it's a good kind of sad to see him.

[@demonkiller479]

Just finished watching the video and I loved the humor during the outdoor section. I've done something similar with apple skin yeast and yours worked out much better than mine. Great work as always I can't wait to see what's next.

Amazing episode, Really amazing to see Utah Juniper wood all oiled up and ready to go. Ive never knowingly seen it, and its really nice. And tackling Utah outdoors; there are only two states that are harder to cut out with a scroll saw, Wyoming, and Colorado.

[@michellemills2965]

Mmm, fresh sourdough bread! I love the banaton, it turned out really nicely!

Oh! I used to jump into those as a kid. They were bushy, but held you. Never knew they were edible though.

I truly love your channel. I'd love to see you lathe a wooden butter churner and plunger thing and put it on some bread. Have you been nourishing the juniper starter? Keep going man, you're awesome. I envy, in the best way, your physical surroundings and passion. @justinthetrees

When you get West Virginia, do rhododendron. It’s a really cool tree, and it really symbolizes the state.

Hello from Idaho. Love your content and glad to see you back after the craziness. I’d love to see a sage brush Idaho from you. Don’t know how possible that is, but would be pretty cool.

[@DoubleDippedAchilles]

I humbly request a Rocky Mountain Maple for Colorado. It can have some incredible color variations in a single piece of wood. It also grows all around the western and intermountain states, so it should be fairly easy to get ahold of. On a side note, I'm so glad I found this channel, its fantastic and warms my heart to watch. Thank you

[@rivran]

aw, miles 💚

[@BasMeek]

What an amazing tree, absolutely beautiful to hear you speak your most exciting thoughts. The Utah Juniper is such an eccentric and storied tree. Thank you for this video Justin, you inspire me to make things not for the value of the product, but for the beauty of the story. The story of the materials and then the creation. And then being able to use it yourself or, better yet, give it to someone else that can feel the energy that was used to create this object. Art is a beautiful thing in this way. Please keep doing exactly what you want to do to be who you want to be. No need to rush things.Thank you for being so authentically yourself. I wish for you a beautiful process in these deeply emotional times. Please thank Miles for me if you think of him again... Truly the best boy. ❤

The spray glue/tape solution is one I’m gonna remember 😊

[@toddtanner95]

I wonder if you could make a juniper extract by soaking berries or wood in alcohol or glycerin. I imagine dripping a few drops in the dough would come out really nice.

[@jacigamer1219]

When you do Wyoming you should make it out of sagebrush, it's everywhere lol!

[@RevRaak]

That Banneton is amazing. Nice work!

[@lydiam3183]

Definitely name the starter June!

[@John-lx8iu]

I personally would love to see a Texas-sized mesquite Texas on the map

[@John-lx8iu]

Mesquite is a dense wood and can be a little hard to work with but I think it is a rather attractive wood and love the way it smells. Also you can make a flour from the beans. It's also hard to beat the flavor of mesquite smoke in BBQ. I'm sure there are other culinary uses for mesquite as well

[@rmac1199]

If THAT was your first time ever making sourdough......🤯🤯🤯. Amazing! You don't have to discard the excess pull off the excess. Add some garlic salt and herbs to the pulled mixture. Then heat a pan and put a thin coat of oil in it and fry up that started as medallion or flat bread.
