Here's a 1503 recipe -- "To brewe beer, 10 Quarter malt, 2 quarters wheet, 2 quarters oats, 40lb weight of hoppys. To make 60 barrels of sengyll beer." A quarter was a measure equal to 8 bushels.
Nice video sir. I think you covered a lot of topics in such a short video. I have only one small recommendation. Put the queue cards just under the camera so we can't tell you're reading as much. Otherwise well done.
Yes. Small beer was usually brewed from previously used grain, which had a lower sugar content for yeast to feed on and therefore a very low alcohol content. Small beer was the everyday beverage. Milk was not commonly consumed as a beverage and mainly used for making cheese and butter. We also better understand the sanitary issues of water and milk, while the heating of the water to make the wort made beer an ideal and safe beverage.
How is a business supposed to support itself if it doesn’t advertise/sell? I’ve never felt like Townsends was pushy about their merch or Patreon. It’s good that they mention it in their videos otherwise I would never know their awesome online shop even existed! If you like historical items, it’s super cool.
Facinating history, presented well!
I visited Jamestown Settlement the day they were brewing. I enjoyed the finished video. Keep up the good work.
We hope you enjoyed your visit!
A recipie would have been nice!

Wait, if small beer was considered a family beverage, does that mean children were allowed to drink it back then?

You do know Townsends is a store, right? The YT channel was just an extension of their advertisement. That is their business: to sell things...
woa woa, calm down, Townsends is a world treasure man lol
