This is a three minute video depicting a week long process -- a fermenting beer. The finished product is Judy Garland Stout -- Like Judy, it grew up in the public eye and then turned bitter... I am curious how the photographer got the camera into the fermenter -- any ideas? [3:00]

I get a lot of books for review, and for the most part, they are wonderful surprises.
This weekend the grapes for my second "real" batch of wine were delivered to Mountain Homebrew and Wine Supply.
The American Chemical Society is having its Spring meeting as we speak.
It looks like the fermenter here is a standard bucket. If I were to put a camera in I'd use a cheap webcam taped to the top of the bucket, possibly covered in plastic to protect the lens and then run the cord out the top through a drilled hole. The other option would be to just mount the camera on top of the bucket and cover the whole bucket and camera loosely with a towel. For primary fermentation the yeast is so dominant in the culture that you can take fairly little car with closing it off and still get good beer.
I'm more curious about the photographer in the fermenter--is this a modern day version of Duke of Clarence, who drowned in a butt of Malmsey wine (at least in Shakespeare's play Richard III)?
