Review this video!
Millet beer has been brewed in Africa for millennia. It is one of the staples of religious and social life. No prayer to the ancestors can begin without an offering of millet beer, no funeral can be held without copious amounts of millet beer. Very few visitors to Africa have ever watched beer being brewed, or know that it is safe to drink in rural villages.

I am seriously interterested in brewing Millet beer and this video provided me with some insights, but they were difficult to get.
This is a foreign language film with some English. I had to view it probably six times, making notes, and correcting those notes because the brewer is a native Nigerian speaker and the narrator is speaking in both Nigerian and English with English subtitles. To make it more difficult they use Nigerian brewing terms rather than English brewing terms such as mash, sparge, and wort.
This video is, however, the only place to start if you are interested in brewing millet beer. The camera work is very good and the village atmosphere is intriguing.
I recommend it, but only to those interested enough in brewing millet beer to be willing to make the effort to understand it.
