I thought we were joking about this.

Let's cram all this stuff in the fermenter (and scratch the crap out of it). What an idiot. There's a lot of "starch" in this water.
Flame out hops called dry hopping.
I could not watch any more..
Alton, stick to your day job.
This episode set brewing back about 10 years.
Alton uses bleach. I'm sure it contributes some pleasant flavors to the final product.

OK, OK...
I don't doubt that this episode got many people interested in brewing. No problem with that.
But if you're going to try to bring homebrewing to "the masses", at least do it without spreading bad advice. Doing it "the right way" would not have been any harder!
At least he's not picking chicken feather's out of his yeast before pitching, like SOME video brewers have done....but I won't name any names here (egiarc ebut)
Oh man! I saw some of his videos, but not that one! Gotta check that one out.
Say what you want about AB and even about that episode, but that episode is THE singular reason that I realized I could brew. Until I saw that episode I did not know how to homebrew and did not desire to learn.
I agree with everyone else because this episode of Good Eats, while not up to our standards, got me into homebrewing. I was under the impression that homebrewing was very complicated until I saw how easily it could be done on this show.
On a side note I used to work at a restaurant that AB would come into from time to time and he would always order a Terrapin Rye or Sweetwater 420... So its not like he has bad taste in beer; just bad information on the process.
Because he's anal to the nth degree?SWMBO can't stand AB and I could never place a finger on why I just couldn't get into this guy's show...
as previously stated, i love alton's show but it makes me wonder how accurate the info regarding his other topics has been..
