Welcome back to another episode of our homebrew and craft beer podcast!

This week’s episode is a treat because we’re bringing you an interview with Lorena Evans from Brewer’s Friend! If you aren’t already familiar with Brewer’s Friend, it’s a wonderfully convenient software that makes your brew day more streamlined and helps you keep track of all of your recipes and stats.

Lorena is truly a wealth of knowledge and it’s obvious from this interview. With many many years of experience, Lorena is the brewer behind the vast majority of recipes found on sites like HomebrewSupply.com, Brewer’s Friend, and Homebrew Talk (where she is also a moderator!).

Discussions on being set up for cooler fermentation and lagering plus a question on kegerator faucets — HHH Ep. 097

0

Hey there homebrewer and welcome back to our homebrew podcast!

Joshua, James, AND Todd are back together on this episode (even though Todd is leaving us again for next week heading out to California… spoiler alert: Joshua wasn’t invited on the trip) and taking YOUR homebrew related questions.

Specifically, the guys discuss brewing a Kolsch and Altbier and having a set up that is good for cooler fermentations and lagering. They also take a question on kegerator faucets and, if you know Todd and James at all, then you already know that they have a ton to say about that topic so we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Fermenters: Plastic vs Glass vs Stainless Steel and a question on cleaning & sanitizing practices — HHH Ep. 096

0

Howdy friends and welcome back to our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!

In this episode, James is still on vacation and Todd had a meeting so Joshua begged Joe to join him and, thankfully, he obliged.

It’s a good thing Joe joined today’s show because it is a Q&A and with James out, we needed an adequate expert to replace him. Joe (and Joshua, sort of) take your questions today on comparing the various fermenters available (plastic vs glass vs stainless steel) as well as a question on cleaning and sanitizing practices. There’s lots of good information on today’s show and we’re very excited to be sharing it with you!

Tasting homebrew from a listener and discussing running long liquid lines from cooler to faucets — HHH Ep. 095

Welcome back to another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!

James is on vacation so Joshua and Todd step up to the plate to take your questions on today’s show!

Actually – today’s show is filled with much more beer tasting and kicking the can rather than actually addressing your technical questions about brewing but we think it came out alright! Specifically, a long time listener of the show sent in some of his own homebrew for us to taste so we thought that there was no better place to do the tasting than on an episode of our podcast (spoiler: the beer was phenomenal and we raved on and on about both styles he sent in).

An Interview with John Blichmann from Blichmann Engineering — HHH Ep. 094

Welcome back to another fun-filled episode of our homebrewing podcast!

Today’s show officially wraps up our #HomebrewCon 2018 content! We saved the best for last (as James would definitely call it) and have a wonderful interview with the self-professed “Supreme Commander” at Blichmann Engineering; Mr. John Blichmann himself!

Unless you are BRAND new to homebrewing, you probably already have an understanding of Blichmann products. Renowned in our industry for high-quality kettles, burners, brew systems, and more, Blichmann has been around for a while and we definitely had some fanboy moments having John on the show. John Blichmann is, easily, one of the most laid back and enjoyable people you’ll ever meet in the industry so we’re extremely proud and excited to present this interview to you all!

An Interview with Owen Lingley from Imperial Yeast — HHH Ep. 093

Sorry for the break but your favorite homebrew podcast is back!

It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve published new content so 1) we apologize and 2) can we chalk it up to being Summer?!

Actually — Todd and Joshua were out of country and Joshua (who may or may not be writing this in the third person right now) had some equipment failures and obtaining the original sound files for our HomebrewCon interviews became much more difficult than it should have been. The sound file for this first episode from HomebrewCon still has a little bit of fuzz to it but we know you’re still going to enjoy this interview with Owen Lingley from Imperial Yeast.

If you don’t already know Imperial Yeast AND you’re a homebrewer, you need to change that. Imperial Yeast is doing fantastic things up there in Portland and we can speak from first hand experience that their yeast is legit. We mean — seeing activity within a few hours legit. Honestly we have nothing but praise for their product and, now after visiting them, we can also say that we have nothing but praise for their hospitality and the way they are running their business.

It’s our Homebrew Con 2018 Recap Show! — HHH Ep. 092


We’re back from Portland and happy to present another episode of our homebrew podcast!

First off – we had a BLAST! Wow! Homebrew Con 2018 was incredible and it’s all thanks to the efforts of the AHA and, of course, the amazing community of homebrewers including yourself. It was so much fun serving our (and by “our” I mean James, Todd, and Joe’s) beer and meeting you all who made it up to Portland and also came over to our booth. On today’s show, we discuss our Homebrew Con 2018 experience. There’s a lot to discuss so today’s show happens to be almost 50 minutes long *gasp* ! This is the closest we’ve come to being an actual hour than ever, I think?
