In this video we home brew at Tree House and share tips and tricks that could help you improve your own brews.
Please support us by subscribing!
We founded Tree House Brewing Company with a ten gallon Coleman cooler and a home equity line of credit. From there, we progressed to a Sabco Brew Magic system that we utilized to brew commercial batches for more than a year.
After selling this kit in 2013, we were reunited with it in 2023. In this video, our head brewer and co-founder Nate Lanier brews on it once again with a little help from his friends.
Julius, Green, Sap, and many other Tree House beers that you know and love were refined on this brewing system.
This brew comes among the energy of expanding the brewery and trying to do something special for customers on a daily basis.
There is a restless energy to Tree House, and we hope some of that comes across in this video!

“Hard fought hops” would love to hear more about acquiring hops. Is it a bidding process amongst breweries or since you guys have built a relationship, they always work with you? Really enjoying these videos

@treehousebrewco Жыл бұрын

There is competition, sure, but it's mostly with learning how sensory analysis in the field and on the rubbing table ultimately translate into the finished beer. You really, really, really have to track every step of the process to understand this and it has taken us years of trial and error to get it right. The people who are actually brewing and cellaring the beer are the people who should select hops, and we have a dedicated and tenured team who has been doing this with myself for years. Sometimes the hops that smell the absolute best do not necessarily have the attributes that translate the best into a finished beer, especially when biotransformation is involved. Lastly, we have worked to garner direct relationships with growers where we provide direct feedback and even discover processes starting with harvest that ultimately translate into the finished beer. All of this takes real, labor intensive focus and work. We've been at the rubbing table after midnight on many occasions trying to get our blends just right...

I brewed your basic recipe here in Ohio and it is wonderful. One of the best I have done in 130 plus brews. My wife and friends tell me it tastes "store bought" so I am extremely happy with it. I could never hope to match Green or Julius but having something this good from my own hand is super satisfying. Shout out to the @TheApartmentBrewer for many tips and tricks to brew this awesome beer. Thank you all!

One of my local breweries if you're a mug club member you can brew with them for a day, on their 5 barrel system. Also before covid my state had a pro-am where you sign up for a lottery and if you're lucky your name gets chosen and you brew with a pro brewer. Its supposed to be you bring in your own recipe and they brew it together with you maybe with some modifications. However some you walk in and they go you're bring X. Then everyone brings in their beers to a place and a then theres a mini brew fest and every votes for their favorite beers. I really hope my state bring back the proam.
