Dogfish Head is an amazing brewery in Deleware – they’ve released a Gose called Super Eight. Currently collaborating on a film with Kodak, they claim this beer can be the perfect catalist for developing film. I decided to put it to the test. Can you actually develop film using beer? Develop responsibly.

Love this. Having just developed my first roles with actual developer etc this is intriguing and something I'd love to try.
Wow – Big thumbs up for this video. I predict sales of the Beer will go through the roof!
Love the video Ted, I would love to see more analogue videos. Ive watched your back catalogue extensively and although the older videos are great you have improved as an educator and video maker so I would love to see some new/updated videos on your thoughts on film and film experiments. I know from the podcast you're not really into it as much as you used to be but it could make for some fun videos that give you an excuse to shoot some images just for fun with no repercussions.
Make mine D-76 or HC-110 at appropriate dilutions. (Beer is for drinking, pickling, or cooking!;)
just bought a Rondinax 35U … 😀
This is great. Really a fun and exciting post.
I really miss your analog posts. It is your analogue side that has made your channel stand out among all the other boring channels. So please, more analog photography.
🙂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Awesome
Is this only a BW thing? Or would it work with color?
Speaking of beer… Actually have you done a series on traveling with darkroom chemicals? I travel a little bit and would like to be able to develop my black and white film while abroad. Any tips or suggestions?
Just because you can dont mean you should.
Beer, is there anything it can't do?
that odd moment when one of your best friends growing up is in a video from your favorite youtube channel… #bizzaro
Lol if you drink too much does that affect developing?! Lol
I like the little over a can concept, leaves something to drink while the reaction proceeds 🙂
Don't develop and drive!!!!!!!!! 🙂
The only reason I would ever buy beer. LOL I like the high contrast
Demanding more film stuff!! 😀
Nice video, I do the Caffenol thing, and washing soda is what you want. Sometimes I add a tea spoon of salt.
Beer goes great with film. I like to have 🍺 while developing my film! This is too cool!
If it developing with ☕ I would care but I can't drink beer.
