How has it taken them this long?

Stumbled across this three week old video presenting "Flash Brewing" as a new concept to the American homebrew scene. A slighty different format to pre-hopped LME, but it's still a just add water and pitch yeast process.

I was watching that earlier, would it even work that well? Seems like it would taste a bit grim.

My experiences with similar stuff have never been particularly good.

 

[Sadfield]

With good sanitation and fermentation conditions, it would taste OK.

Looks like mud And didn't wearing a baseball cap back to front go out of fashion years ago, how old does he think he is?

I mean, I can make you a 10%+ ABV liquid using mostly water, sugar, bran and bread yeast. It takes a few minutes, takes off like a bomb and is done in 2 days.

I'd point out here that you wouldn't want to drink it (unless you were in prison or something).

I don't get the rush when making beer, it's the wrong mindset. I think it's quite common though with people who haven't brewed before, a month seems like an eternity

If you brew regularly it's no bother that each beer beer takes a month or so as there's always something in the pipeline.

There's no rush in the fermentation though. This is just America finally discovering Kit brewing. Except their kits are DME and Extract rather than pre-hopped LME.

Ah, misunderstood slightly.
I prefer dry malt extract over liquid any day.

The DME beer kit has been available since the 1970's here in the UK.

Hambleton Bard Dry Beer Kits

They don't contain the dry hops but it is the same otherwise, a pouch of bittering goo, yeast and spray dried malt.
