Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrew questions and we discuss all things related to craft beer!

With Easter coming soon (as in, a day or two from when we’re publishing this!), we hope you have a wonderfully relaxing weekend with your friends and/or family or even by yourself! I know that, for me personally, I’m super excited because my Dad and I will be sharing our first all-grain recipe we brewed together with our extended family at our Easter gathering. My family loves IPAs (what’s wrong with them, amirite?) so I’m hoping that they’ll love the one we brewed. I think it turned out great but you can probably relate to me in that I think EVERYTHING I do turns out great. I’m just |a little| narcissistic… that’s all! 😉

On Today’s Show:

Todd (Kegconnection) recently received an email from a listener and customer who has been having some foaming issues on one of their kegs, even after switching to CMB flow control faucets. This got Todd thinking and so we take the question and also elaborate on the most common issues that draft systems face specifically in regards to controlling foam and maintaining a proper pour for your beer. Of course, we also have James (CMBecker) and on the show since it’s always his faucets we recommend as solutions so he brings some valuable insight into the world of flow control solutions. As usual, I’m just here to facilitate. 🙂

We want to hear from you!

Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrew questions and we discuss all things related to craft beer!

I love this time of the year. The weather is reasonably pleasant (i.e – not too hot or too cold for comfortable outside brewing!), the flowers are blooming, and it’s the beginning of tradeshow season for the craft beer and homebrewing industries! As you already know, we’ll be in beautiful Providence, Rhode Island, at the end of June and we really do hope to see you there. This week is also a big week for the industry as it’s the annual Craft Brewers Conference in Denver, CO, which is where Todd happens to be right now!

On Today’s Show:

Todd (Kegconnection) calls in from Denver, Colorado to give James (CMBecker) and myself a recap of what he experienced during the Craft Brewers Conference. It’s hard work he does for our show but somebody has to do it… Also, James and I take YOUR questions on homebrew shelf life when your beer is kegged, and we also discuss what we do when we want to use specific ingredients but might have to substitute due to limited availability. We had a blast recording this week’s episode and hope you enjoy it as well.

We want to hear from you!

Hello friend and fellow homebrewer!

Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the show where we answer YOUR questions about homebrewing and commercial craft beer. You may have noticed that we released TWO “episodes” this week. OK, the first one really shouldn’t count because it was an abomination and awful attempt at providing some April Fool’s day content… but… BUT, some positive feedback I did get from that was that the fake ad bumper we produced might actually work if we ever wanted to use it for real. So, there’s that.

On Today’s Show:

On to things that actually matter! Todd (President and Chief Keg Washer at Kegconnection) and James (Director of Operations at CMBecker and overall handsome man) join me today for the 127th episode of our podcast. We take a question from a listener who has been asked to provide the beer for an event coming up and he’s wondering what’s the best way he can transport the beer to the event with minimal adversity. We also take a question from someone who is done bottling and is ready to keg (brilliant choice, if you ask us). She’s wanting to dispense the beer through a kegerator/keezer and we talk about the various ways she can achieve that.

We want to hear from you!

It’s, easily, my favorite thing to do every week and I can’t genuinely thank you all enough for supporting our show and tuning in each and every week. This week is especially awesome because…

On Today’s Show:

TODD IS BACK! Woohoo! Todd Burns (President and Chief Keg Washer at Kegconnection) joins myself and Ladik Joe Ermis (Dir. of Operations at Homebrew Supply) to bring you our 126th episode of our show. This week, we enjoyed a wonderful evening of beer tastings (also known as research and development *wink* *wink*) that we recap at the top of the show. Then, we take a question about making clone recipes and some thoughts behind what goes in to creating accurate clone recipes. We had an absolute BLAST this week and I’m, personally, excited to present this to you.

Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the show where we answer YOUR questions about homebrewing and commercial craft beer. When we aren’t doing Q&A episodes, we try to find fellow homebrewers, industry professionals, or really anyone that’ll do 30’ish minutes with me on the phone 😉

On Today’s Show:

Fan favorite, Ladik Joe Ermis joins me once again for this week’s episode. I know I’ve said this a million times but I’m super grateful for my peers, like Joe, who are so willing to come on the show on short notice and help me answer your questions. Joe is also known as the IPA guy around here and he’s the man behind the recipe that my dad and I brewed for our first all-grain brew day so I was glad to update him on the success of how that beer turned out!

Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! I’d like to start this week’s show, again, by THANKING you all for the tremendous amount of love you’ve sent Todd’s way. Our email inbox, Facebook inbox, Instagram inbox, and YouTube comments have been full of your support and words of encouragement and condolences for Todd and Liz regarding the recent loss of their son and we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You guys are truly the best community we could ever ask for and we can’t thank you enough for that.

On Today’s Show

James Carlson from CMBecker International joins me to take your questions on this week’s show. Specifically, we’re talking about how a homebrewer can increase the frequency of their brew days (or the amount of beers they brew every month) and we also field a question about sanitation. James is the perfect person for these questions because 1) He brews all the time AND he is a stickler for sanitation and 2) because he knows way more than I do about every topic so, obviously, he’s the perfect person for me to ask these questions to. 🙂

Thank you for joining us on the Homebrew Happy Hour! One consistent feedback that we receive here is that many listeners wished we produced our show more frequently than just once per week. I can’t tell you enough how flattering that is and how much we truly appreciate you listening/watching AND, apparently, enjoying the show. It boggles my mind!

On Today’s Show

Todd is out sick with some sort of terrible cold so James joins me to discuss your homebrewing-related questions. Specifically, we discuss a question from a listener who transferred beer from one pin lock corny keg to a different ball lock corny keg and, mysteriously, it caused his beer to go completely flat! We also address a question about achieving clarity with your beer. Literally, making a clear beer – not some mental enlightenment achievement or something, although maybe we could address that too on a future episode?

Hey there, homebrewer!

Welcome back to our little homebrew podcast

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I’d like to start this episode with praising today’s guest, Kenny Highman from “The Brewer of Seville“, for being an awesome interviewee and also a saint of patience!

In case you didn’t already know, we record this show earlier in the week and then after some touching up (i.e- automated audio processing to make us sound better than we really should), we then publish the show. In the 121 episodes of just this show that I’ve produced, we’ve maybe had bad enough technical difficulties or one of us will flub bad enough that we have to stop recording and fix the issue. I never (and I mean NEVER) really even bring that up with guests but before recording today’s show I happened to mention to Kenny that “in case we flub, we can stop and fix the issue. no worries because it NEVER happens!”… my subtle smugness would prove to be my downfall because poor Kenny had to hang out with me for over an hour just to produce the content for today’s show! The good news is that Kenny is a blast to hang out with and I am super happy that I got to know him better even thru all my technical difficulties and flubs.

On Today’s Show

Kenny, also know as The Brewer of Seville, joins me to talk about his homebrewing journey. This is another edition of our “Homebrewer Showcase” and the more I produce these episodes, the more I’m really enjoying them. Kenny hasn’t been homebrewing for a very long time but you can tell throughout this episode that he’s zealous for the craft and it’s exciting to see what he’s doing. I am confident that you’re going to enjoy this podcast episode!
