Growing Beer
08/30/17 • 24 min
It's January, it's freezing cold and I've got half a tonne of rubbish to shift before I can even think about planting or brewing.

S2:E1 - Finding Beer
Growing Beer
10/11/20 • 27 min
I'm back for a second series and this time we will be taking a journey through history as well as beer. 2020 will see us finding out how our earliest counterparts would have made those first brews, look to the local environment to forage and find some of the ingredients and, of course, see if it's possible to do it ourselves.
Just like before there will be ups, downs and a fair number of challenges, but I'll be seeking help and advice from a range of experts to see us through. In this episode I'll be explaining the challenge ahead of us and catching up with award-winning beer writer and historian, Martyn Cornell.

S1:E11 - The End
Growing Beer
12/05/17 • 25 min
We're at the end of the year, at the end of the project, and about to find out if it was all worth it.
I run through the final few days, announce the name and open up that first bottle with an international beer judge...

S1:E7 - Harvest
Growing Beer
11/07/17 • 29 min
It's harvest time! We've sort-of survived the summer and now I need to bring in the barley, regardless of how much or how little is still there.
I also catch up with beer writer Mark Dredge to get some advice on beer styles and what to consider should I get to that final tasting...

S1:E6 - Equipment
Growing Beer
10/31/17 • 29 min
July is now behind me, and I couldn't be happier to see the back of it. The British summer has caused serious problems - problems that cause me to question whether we'll even get to the harvest.
As well as looking at how the ingredients are coming along I also pay a visit to a brewery to talk brewing equipment with their resident brewster, in case I get that far...

S1:E5 - Yeast
Growing Beer
10/24/17 • 24 min
It’s mid-June, and the plot feels as if it’s all starting to come together. The hops are off up the strings like rockets, the barley has spread out to create a rich, if a little short, canopy and now I’ve closed the tap the water butt is filling up nicely.
I start the process of collecting samples to be analysed by 2 yeast researchers at the LSI lab at the University of Exeter and experience my first taste of storm damage...

S1:E4 - Water
Growing Beer
10/17/17 • 25 min
It's a hot and tiring start to May, and I'm grateful to have finally got to grips with the soil preparation and barley sowing.
The hops look like leaping into life any minute and I head over to the continent to find out how a combination of a social enterprise and a Dutch brewery use rainwater to make beer.
