Brewtubers 2024 Strawberry Beer Experiment (and Channel Intro)

Where it all started. Drew introduces himself, the town of Lake Mills, Wisconsin, and the basement where the beer gets made — with two commercial breweries already in town, the homebrewery down the stairs became The Underground Brewery.

It's also the brew day for the 2024 Brewtubers fruit experiment. After moving to Lake Mills made the old Milwaukee beer club drive impractical, Drew found the Brewtubers — a fully online homebrew club with members from California to Germany who ship beers to each other. His entry in the club's annual experiment: the shared American wheat recipe with two pounds of whole hydroponic strawberries, hand-picked at Warm Belly Farms in Cottage Grove, added at the end of the boil. The grain bill, hop schedule, and yeast pitch are all shown before the video signs off to let fermentation do its thing.
