Full brew-day documentaries

Grain to Glass

Grain to Glass is where a beer gets the full documentary treatment: recipe design, brew day, fermentation, and the final pour, all in one video. These are the most complete looks at how things actually get made in the basement — the water salts, the step mashes, the gadgets, and the occasional sketch comedy that breaks out when the mash is resting.

A running theme in this series is gluten-free brewing done right. Not gluten-reduced barley beer with enzyme added — 100% gluten-free grain bills built from millet, buckwheat, quinoa, and corn, brewed to stand shoulder to shoulder with their barley-based originals. In one video the gluten-free version flat-out beat the original recipe in a side-by-side tasting. Start with the Scottish Export if you want classic malt-forward brewing, or jump straight to the gluten-free builds to see what millet malt can really do.
