Look that up on YouTube. They show home brewing a farmhouse style beer as it may have been home brewed on a farm in 1880s England.
They don't mash in by pouring heated strike water on to dry malted barley in a tun. They heat the grain and water together to 150F in one kettle. That's strained through a cloth. Then, they dry hop and add honey. Once cool, they dump in a sauce pan of yeast. You should see their fermenter. It's an old bucket! It's not even stainless. Not a drop of Starsan in sight. And it's not because they didn't understand sanitation back then. People were homemaking soap in those times.
They also make ginger beer, cheese, and other Victorian era food and drink. The whole series has been quite enjoyable. Well worth a watch.
