Heat the clay vessels up before you add the hot pine pitch next time. Otherwise you won't get an even coating because the room temp clay hardens it too quickly.
I also wondered why he didn't need to use leaves or makeshift gloves to protect from the heat, until I saw the pitch harden as soon as it hit the pot.
He should fill the vessels full with pitch, then melt it out at low temps to get the best possible results
@@Junglehunter677 I get why, but it would also damage the pitch to be reheated multiple times. One might waste a lot of pitch in that process. Although I'm sure the result would be great.
He could of also put the pitch on the outside. The pot would absorb some of the liquid but it wouldn’t leak!
@@swordsaw At worse case scenario you get coating of tar, if lid if properly sealed, witch would been net positive back then as its great for water proofing and pretty durable and dries bit faster than normal wood resin. Should even give "nice" taste on the drink as alcohol dissolves tar if i recall right. I dont recall pitch becoming thing later than couple centuries ago, due it being manufactured by distilling tar or other organic substances and distilling tech come much later, but i havent studied this that much. I only have understanding that tar was manufactured from wood resin trees late as couple centuries ago. Pitch other hand has only recently replaced tar in popularity due distilling technology advances into industrial scale. Someone can correct me on this if you have better wealth of knowledge on topic.
"reinventing the wheel" should be this show's motto
You have to test before you start fermenting
Yeah sounds good enough
Or not

hahah - excellent
Test the alcohol precentages
henk baksteen he would have to have taken a starting gravity and a final gravity reading, in order to know the abv
i just came to the comments to ask him to get a lab test done on the ethanol concentration, as well as testing for methanol and other alcohols, and also maybe any harmful components that you might not want to include in your every day drink.
but as i scrolled down to make the comment, you were the top comment, so here we are :D
rewrite123
specific gravity won't be accurate with wild yeast, b/c you have no idea how much methanol or acetic acid has been produced.

Hey there, just thought I'd clarify a little point that you mentioned here about malting, which you also mentioned in your wheat beer video.
Malting doesn't convert starch into sugar at all, what it actually does is increase the amount of starch available in the grains as they begin to germinate. This is because the grains begin to expand their starch stores to provide energy for the grain's growth. This is then halted by kilning, where moisture is driven off down to usually >5%. This also helps stabilise the malted grains for storage.
What does convert the starch into sugar is the Mash phase, where groups of enzymes present in the grain (mostly amylases) process the starch into sugars of various length molecules. Modern brewers have identified the various temperatures that these enzymes work at. The longer the Mash is held at the 'Saccharification rest' (about 60-70 degC) the more of these sugars are converted into fermentable sugars that your yeast can consume and produce glorious alcohol from.
I hope this helps clarify what's going on in beer production to a reasonable understanding. I've got a fair bit of experience working in a maltings and as a brewer that I want to keep everyone informed of the processes that our favourite beverage goes through!

You would have gotten more alcohol if you had cracked that grain first. By throwing raw grain in your starter you are basically making a lacto starter which is why your beers are all sour and acidic.
That's a pretty interesting but tiny step!
did they know of this technique in the early days of alcohol brewing
@@Bluboy511 either by mistake or by experimenting
Masta Blasta - They likely figured that out several times through history. It's a pretty simple step. No idea when it became common place, though.
More natural carbonation too.
This explains hops and the brewing process very well to someone who's only ever brewed in Stardew Valley. Hops don't magically turn into pale ale by leaving them in a keg. Thank you.
John Paul Gan wait, they dont magically turn to beer in a keg?
Pam likes this.
Not sure what your trying to say
@@CookingWithCows it's a shame she's not a romance option
@@alexrocks135 In the game Stardew Valley you create beer by putting hops in a keg and waiting
I love the new format so much. I've been enjoying this channel for years, but this new format makes things feel so organized and directed.

Its gonna be fun when you get to the high medieval period, in plate armour.
But thats like 5500 years into the future?
Ariel Nir he gonna be ded unless somebody invents a immortality elixir
“Today I will make a gothic cathedral”
Plate armour already exists in bronze age. Only it's in bronze rather than steel.
Plate armour should already exists when the pyramid are being built. But they're for chariot not on foot as they're really heavy compared to steel plates.
I might be wrong though, so please do your own research.
@@foogoose1439 You infact are wrong, the methods for creating plate armor are much more complex and time consuming than for normal armor which is why it wasn't used by the lay solider even when plate armor was as its most widely used. Most bronze is also slightly more heavy or dense but not to the point where armors made of the different metals would become too heavy.
@@thekingofnipples9806 What is "normal" armor, really?
And do you think even steel plate armor were used by the ranks and files in medieval times?

Me: sipping homemade apple wine
Be honest and admit that you just forgot your apple juice in the sun and just took a sip to test if it's still good
I made pumpkin wine last year...I'm still waiting for it to age some though :/
David L I like recipes that are meant to be drank young, because I don’t have any patience.
@@JustinDragonClaw It's only going to be like 1 or 2 years at most, likely just the one. It's more common to age wine for 3 to 5 years but that's your standard grape wines so it's not like there's a real rule-book here, you drink your wine whenever. Although if you want to do it properly just make so much wine the first year that there's enough for several years, you'll eventually reach stability.

Did he just say "The goddess of alcohol"? I think I might have just been converted XD
Yeah, monotheism is pretty dull. Pretty much every religion has a booze deity.
One of the local craft breweries is named after her.
I mean, Jesus has alcohol powers
@@annonimooseq1246 I think the whole "turned water into wine" is just a way of saying that Jesus was a homebrewer.
@@barklordofthesith2997 Jesus is just so happen to have a secret wine recipe and a whole bunch of them secretly brewing somewhere.
I know you haven’t worked with clay in a while but a good choice for making large vessels without a potters wheel would be a coil vessel
Excellent, I’m now prepared for the end of days
There's a reason beer is also called "liquid bread". It's made from the same ingredients (yes, barley bread does exist) but is brewed into a beverage rather than risen into a fluffy staple food.
You should totally watch the anime Dr. Stone. He’s totally doing the same thing you’re doing.
The village already made the wine. This particular video is probaly one of the only things in the show he didnt do. Would love to see them try and make his ramen recipe though!
@@Gr3nadgr3gory In the manga they did eventually make beer after finally inventing agriculture, sadly the beer has recently been stolen by some American soldiers
This is one of the best TH-cam channels and is one of the reasons that TH-cam has become such a profound success.
Thanks guys, keep going strong!
Wow that lesson on the pine pitch coating was pretty cool thank you
One way that people sealed the lids - even irregularly formed ones like you have - was to make a "rope" of dough. Press it to the lip of the vessel and then wet it a bit on top and add the lid.
Finally. Now I can brew beer in my dorm room😂
Ayyy happy to see your at 1.2m when i stumbles upon your Channel I knew you where going to grow fast happy to see your Chanel reach theirs mile stones
Yay, reinventing the wheel!
makes me happy seeing that a person is able to make a living by simply trying everything, I don't think he gets bored too much.

Coffee is too expensive for many Asian countries. It's harder to get than beer bc wheat grows everywhere and herbs for making tea can be found everywhere too

I ve just found this channel today by boringly wondering how to make paper from scratch, now im addicted
How To Make Everything shows how to make beer.
Underage people: Now let´s make some secret base for making beer.
Did that long before the internet...only it was applejack
to improve your flat-top lids I would recommend letting the container dry some and harden first that forming the lid to the harder material it will make a much better seal.
i've never clicked so fast on a video about how to make beer before
Lol same
The sumerian recipe reminds me of Kvass, an extremely light beer made in Slavic/Eastern European countries. It's made using black bread and raisins. The end product is VERY different, though. Kvass is very dark and completely liquid, no chunks! It's about the color of black coffee/Coca-Cola. I've not had it, but I have heard it's very nice.
Awesome to see the Dilmun seal with the two drinking straws on here!

so serious question, did ya just wanna get drunk and thought "hey this will make a great video"? cause i mean thats cool
First time I've said wow out loud in a LONG time
Most vases intended for pouring have a more pronounced notch for pouring the water through, exactly because otherwise a lot more would be spilled.
How am I seeing this? It isn’t even on the channel.
just youtube things

Watching him make beer while enjoying a beer it's pure bliss
Reincarnation to another world requires this channel as a prerequisite
I wish you were able to actual test the strength of the alcohol that you make. I know it would require modern technology, but it would be really cool to see how effective the ancient techniques are at producing alcohol.
video starts at 1:57 ur welcome
I made beer before with alehoof (AKA creeping charlie) instead of hops, and that was pretty good. Rosemary sounds interesting though. Alehoof is in the mint family, and it has a grassy, slightly minty taste.
Andy in terms of casting make the molds out of wood ash it's highly effective and is historical used
OMG Jake you drunk what are you drinking?
Dirt
Yes I crave the *DIRT*
Make sure you check any grains you grow for ergot fungus.
I could see a rosemary beer being a bit like a spruce or pine beer (which are really good, by the way).
shortly after i finished my last beer that i made, this came out, nice
Using coiling will make the forming of the pots alot easier and better finish

He could reasonably make heroin. It is horribly illegal, but he would just need citrus fruit, a flint knife, opium poppies, pottery, and fire.
It'd be really cool to see a collab with Townsends when you get to ~17th - ~18th century. He does a lot of cooking and reenacting in that time period (including making an earthen oven like you guys did a few episodes ago.)
Best channel on TH-cam. Cheers!
Perhaps you should put a thick layer of beeswax on the inside of your jug lids so that you can press them down on the jugs and get a tighter seal.
This is just stright up real world Dr Stone
You do understand that ancient Greeks never drunk any short of alcohol (specially wine) without mixing it with water first. For wine, the ideal ratio was believed to be 1 part wine and 5 parts of water but in some cases it even got to 1:10 or even1:20
"dirt and grass"
uses grains
this is unfair clickbait.
Grains are grass...
If i remember it correctly on sabah located in malaysia there are some almost similar beer made using grain and its called tapai
I love your videos! Can't wait for the video about how you made your camera!
12:43 "was able to make beer which was a pretty important development in history", that was able to delay further developments by many hangovers.
4:18 At Nahal Hemar (the H's are pronounced like the "ch" in Ach) in the Judean Desert archeologists have found evidence of asphalt being used in this way ca. 6500 BCE.
Fabric was available to sift flower and malt earlier than 23,000 BCE. I've seen before 30000 BCE floated for the earliest evidence of fine cloth but have not read the papers.
10:40 Coiled grass mats were and are used to filter beer in some parts of Africa.
You could try making pour spouts on future pottery.
Is ach prounounced Ack or A-ch
@@chuggaa100 It is pronounced /x/ as in the German word Ach or the Hebrew word "Chaim" (check out the cast recording from "Fiddler on the Roof". It sort of sounds like choking to the uninitiated. It is sometimes spelled as "kh".
I bought from Greece some greek wine flavored with pine pitch called retsina wine. Liutprand of Cremona was right; pine resin wine is horrible. It was like drinking mouthwash. The oak barrel is a great gallic invention that made drinks palatable and which I hope to see on HTME.
I'm sure they fermented it in the open air, as yeast needs oxygen, and for at least a month. Also they probably used the barm from the last batch to ferment the next one
This is the channel that Soma watched before the whole world turned to stone
Next time try adding some reed canary grass, Phalaris arundinacea for an extra kick!
the Live action of DrStone looking good!
There is a very simple technic for making simple clay vessels which involves rolling the clay into "snakes" and then shaping these snakes around each other (for the bottom of a vessel or any other flat shape) or on top of each other (for the walls) and smoothing them together.
Been here since 100k subs and still can't get over how you say 'root' as 'ruht'
Can't wait to see this in Dr. Stone!
the store bought yeast is controlled so that it's the same, cloned and never showing signs of mutations that can make them sweeter or even more sour than normal like the wild yeast.
dude..... a hollow dried pumpkin, add malt drink (water and any grains) leave it in a warm dark place. once the pumpkin start to sweat what inside it, it ready. that was there ways back in the day.

A funnel must have been a god tier tool at some point in human history.
Thank you for another terrific episode. This is definitely one that I will drink to!

Good work, folks!
I don't drink, but if Andy started a brewing company making ancient beers, I'd probably buy some and gift them to friends that do. That'd be pretty cool.
I seen that gourde in the background towards the end...is there any record of people fermenting anything in gourdes?
Regarding your "modern style" beer, I really like rosemary in the beer, I think it fits. The second thing is that you should have grinded the malt before brewing!! no wonder it was really mellow! Thanks for your channel :-)
i cant wait for the day you make a factory out of dirt and grass
"in retrospect making some other tools, like a funnel.. might of been a good idea"
*montage of spilling precious beer*
That was a pissa!
Don’t know if you’re into anime, but Dr.Stone is kinda your show. It’s about a kid who’s in a stone world and he fights to push humanity back to the modern world one step at a time. I would highly recommend watching it if you like that kinda stuff
Next time use coiling to build up the wall of your pots. The Jomon people (indigenous to Japan) and to coil pot pottery techniques also exsisted in ancient Sumer.
I don't remember exactly what it's called but you need to look into the coil technique for clay pot making. You just need to make long snakes and coil them up. The aboriginal people of the great plains used this technique. Also, mix ground up bone into your clay
It's weird not seeing you guys struggle but I would call this a great success.
