I saw two. Very interesting recipes!
maybe the SCIENCE! members of HBT can explain open fermentation, because I sure can't. yeast are still magical little critters to me.
I like the show, but they are highly disgusting. Putting some one elses hops in their nose, the hat on the wort, putting their fingers in the wort. I did like the fog catching and the steam serving of the beer. But if I had a brewery, they would NOT be invited to come.
Which brewery did they do those crazy things? So I will avoid that one.

My thoughts exactly - I did not like that guy doing that stuff at all.
He shoves hops in his nose like a little kid, then blows them on the floor, and thinks it's funny? He takes his shoes off and stands bare foot in the fermenter. Drops his nasty hat on top of the krausen. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
I understand they want to be "entertaining", but seriously show some respect - ESPECIALLY at one of the most respected breweries in the United States, and in front of it's head brewer. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
I like watching the show, but that stuff made me cringe.
The worst part was watching everyone inhale his feet/hat/finger/nose beer.
You guys need to lighten up. You have no idea what was done after said "disgusting" acts. It's an entertaining show, that highlights not only craft beer, but homebrewing as well.
Did not have a problem with any of it, because it is a TV show so you don't know what was done after the cameras were rolling. Was the oak barrel sanitized after he stood in it? Most likely. Was there something in there he was standing on that we could not see due to editing? Maybe.
Hat on the krausen...no problem with that because it was a thick layer and they were drawing the beer from UNDER it.
The worst sin was taking beers from people, drinking some, bringing it to a chef who also drank some, then returning the beer to people who had to drink the same beer. Or did they? Could their beers have been replaced through the magic of TV? Most likely!

None of us are protesting the show. We are just saying parts could be improved.
Myself, I'd like to see it be more of an informative believe it or not show, like River Monsters, rather than a cram hops up your nose & eat raw compressed tea leaves show like mtv jackass.
Speaking of this setup: did anyone notice the cool recirculating "diffuser" they used to trickle the wort onto the grain bed from the HERMS? It looked like a bend stainless pipe clamped to the side of the kettle with a lower and upper disc attached to the outlet. This would force the wort to hit the top disc and deflect back to the bottom disc which spread out the wort to trickle on top of the grain bed. I would love to build one of these.

I'm born and bred in Scotland so I think it's why I'm more attracted to it than I should be! It's a pretty decent program and I've got it DVR'd so I'll watch the complete season. I'm watching it more for the cities and breweries that they're going to visit though.
Did anyone else read this in a Scottish accent?
not until you asked about it, then I had to reread it with one
then it sounded like Jackie Stewart
