On Today’s Show:

I’m, once again, graced by Todd and James’s knowledge as they help me tackle your submitted homebrewing questions. We start off by taking a question from an avid extract brewer who is curious is he can do anything to a favorite recipe of his to help make the finished beer “a little bit dryer”. Then, we talk about the importance of sterilizing additions (dry hopping) and how we go about doing that. That was followed by a  question about upgrading to PVC-free beer lines and if the more premium liquid lines would allow for leniency regarding how often one needs to clean said lines (spoiler: Todd says clean them every two weeks!). Finally, we wrap up the show with a conversation on creamer functionality in CMB faucets and why it’s a good thing. This was right up James’s alley!

We want to hear from you!

Kolsch conditioning, choosing proper glassware, buying used kegerators, & brewing a retail recipe kit for competitions – Ep. 215

Nice to have you back, friend!

Welcome to our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast… the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

On Today’s Show:

James and Todd are back on the program with me to help answer your questions! Specifically, we talk about the turn around “most” kolsches take to get from grain to glass. Mind you, the fastest turn around almost always has to include force carbonating in a keg, so – sorry if you prefer to bottle!

Next, we take a question about the importance (if any) of using the “right” glassware for specific styles of beer. As a man with fancy taste, I would love to tell you all that I ALWAYS have the proper glassware when I’m drinking my delicious (or, sometimes, not delicious) homebrew craft beer but that’s actually not always the case. In fact, if you follow our Instagram page, you’ll see that I’m frequently drinking everything out of an alt glass or a kolsch stange. I’m ready for your hate mail but I prefer the smaller volume (7 to 9oz per pour, for me) and the ease of using an “uncomplicated” glass. It fits me well but I’m open to your opinions and Todd and James offered their own in this episde.

Then, we have a listener write in who purchased a used kegerator from Facebook marketplace and now he isn’t sure what to do. We get this kind of question a lot and it’s shows like this when I’m most thankful for Todd and James because they usually get to the point with what should be your priorities and what you shouldn’t have to worry about for a while.

Lastly, we take a question about using established homebrew recipe kits from your favorite retailer and submitting that beer into competitions. Is it frowned upon? If you’re in competitions does that mean you should only submit completely original recipes? We talk about this but I would love to hear what you think in the comments below.

We want to hear from you!

It’s been a while since we’ve done a “Homebrewer Showcase” episode so I wanted to start the new year on the right foot and do more of these types of shows.

Today, cider maker and gluten free homebrewer Corrie Purser (better known as Miss_Cider on Instagram) joins me to talk all things cider and living in the world of craft beer and cidering while having to be gluten free.

She’s an extremely bright young woman who was a blast to talk to and I definitely learned a lot on this week’s show!

Back by popular demand, we are proud to welcome back Horst Dornbusch! We had such a good time on episode 199 and you all seemed to love him too, so we begged and pleaded and broke him down until he agreed to do the show again. He brought a wealth of information on topics I, honestly, never even thought COULD be interesting but Horst somehow made me pay attention. ALSO – this is like the only episode where I maybe speak for a total of 2 minutes… so, this is looking to be our most popular episode ever published!

Kidding aside – enjoy our latest interview with the incredible Horst Dornbusch.

James is out this week working hard and in charge BUT, surprise surprise, Mr. Chief Keg Washer himself was able to join me as he returned sooner than I thought he would from his vacation.

Todd helped me take your questions this week and, thankfully, most of them were softballs which helped me curate a pretty fun-filled year-end show. We talked about our favorite batches of beer that we brewed this year, our favorite equipment (and least favorite equipment) we used in 2020, we discussed whether we’d invest money in the pre-boil or post-boil (fermentation or cold side) of brewing if we could go back and do it all over again, and, of course, we touch on our 2021 brew year resolutions.

On Today’s Show:

Todd is out on vacation but, thankfully, Mr. Carlson was able to join me this week as we take your questions and discuss our best answers! We also go over some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and what’s happening in our Patreon community.

On this episode, we discuss one of our favorite styles of beer – New England IPAs! Ok, if you’re new to the show you might not catch my sarcasm there… but, even though it isn’t our thing, New England IPAs are still a very popular style and a listener was curious on how to best achieve the color profile when he’s brewing one. Also, we take a question about step mashing (how to do it, when to do it, what it does), a question on the appropriate time to measure your grains (before milling, after milling, etc), and we wrap up with a question about using an all-in-one electric system (specifically, the Anvil Foundry) as a vessel for primary fermentation. It’s a ton of content packed into this one episode and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

On Today’s Show:

Todd and James were both able to join me this week and help take your brewing related questions. We also go over some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and what’s happening in our Patreon community.

On this episode, we discuss how whether or not it is important to keep the equipment you use for sours separate for other equipment and in what scenarios it might make more of a difference. We also talk about how to pinpoint CO2 (gas) leaks that might be happening in your kegerator, keezer, or draft beer system. Then, we talk about water profiles and whether or not we build them each time we brew. Finally, we wrap up this week’s show with a question about how to figure out what type of homebrew keg you have if it isn’t stamped on the side of the keg. Todd is the absolute expert on this topic so I’m confident that we were able to help the listener with his question!

Tons of fun were had today as Todd and James join me and help take your brewing related questions. We also go over some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and what’s happening in our Patreon community.

On this episode, we discuss how we fill our growlers from our faucets (spoiler: it’s not very sophisticated!). We also talk about purposefully lowering your batch’s ABV and how to accomplish that. Then, we talk about what might happen to your beer if you have fluctuating temperatures at the end of your mash (spoiler: don’t over think things!).
