MELCHESTER BREWERY - How it works: feat. QUEEN ANNE. 

Thank-you so much, sorry to hear about your serious health issues, but so pleased to hear you are on the road to recovery, and that you've enjoyed this video and found it helpful. I really enjoyed researching about breweries and making this video.

Cheers Dave! So glad you enjoyed the video - it was a bit of a labour of love but well worth it.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you very much.

Thanks Eric.

Thank you very much for watching, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.

Thanks Paul.

Thanks very much!

Thanks @kellypaws. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@melchestermodelrailway RU-vid is a cynical thing. There are channels out there with 10 times the subscribers, because the channel owner has pushed their partner (or whatever) into the limelight, with their tops pulled well down for the thumbnail. But essentially there is no content, and terrible layouts. Then your channel with a lovely layout, real care and attention in making the video and very few subscribers. It really is cynical. Well, I commend your work. It’s genuinely lovely. And so is your organ playing as I recall. A man of considerable talent and thankfully restraint and taste.

@@kellypaws Thank you, I spent a long time building the layout so its nice that people seem to like it, and occasionally leave such kind comments as yours - perhaps if I ever get to 1000 subscribers, I'll film a layout tour. I've been fairly lucky with this particular video as youtube seem to have promoted it more than usual - not sure how that works - but that seems to be what has happened, and I gained about 40 new subscribers since posting it, which is amazing for my channel. I do play the organ - as you mentioned - but in this video there is a part where I'm playing the Harpsichord for a change, with a friend singing an amusing song about Queen Anne!

Thankyou, the music is from Elgar's 2nd Organ sonata.

Thank you Richard! I love the Ruston too, and such a good model from Hornby.

@@melchestermodelrailway They certainly are pity Hornby have not updated the L&Y Pugs.

Thanks very much. Prost!

Thank you so much for your very kind comments. I really enjoyed making this video.

Thankyou for watching, glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed it. Well done for spotting the Fat Controller down at the Duke of York during Happy Hour! He's part of the mini Thomas Capsule wind-up plarail system, which is now mostly only available from Japan. Here is a link to the seller in Japan where I purchased mine. He fits in quite nicely with OO gauge. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314629530326?hash=item494161a2d6:g:IVoAAOSwDwdkfNab

@@melchestermodelrailway he does I was quite impressed about how well he fitted in, thanks for the link.

Thanks, I did wonder how well my research would come across as it's not a subject I knew anything about, but found the entire process of researching very intriguing once I started looking into it.

@@melchestermodelrailway it is an interesting process. Your research created a good story. The partly germinated grain is "roasted" or "toasted" to various levels to make the malt. The darker the "roasting" the darker the beer. In the breweries of today that is generally not done at the brewery though. The spent grain and hops are extracted together after the boil and usually used as animal feed today. Not sure about back then but probably the same, the wort is transferred to the fermenters through a heat exchanger after the boil to drop the temperature quickly and the yeast added straight away. The wort needs to be run through sterile or santised equipment to avoid infection. The key to good beer is clean equipment. The hot liqour tank is a key part of the process here obviously. It's interesting. A 25 litre home brew usues the same process as a 3000 litre commercial brew and takes the same amount of time throughout the process. Your process was enough for non brewing lay people. Good work.

Some great music requests there @kellypaws. Widor is a great idea and something I always play on Easter Sunday so I'm sure it might appear in a video at some point! The Serenade would be fitting music for a video about the Elizabethan train; the only problem is it didn't run on the Southern - maybe an idea there for somebody else. I'm currently making videos about new coaching stock and the Atlantic Coast Express, so watch this space.

@@melchestermodelrailway Very much looking forward to it already.
