Howdy friends and welcome back to another fun filled episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!

In this episode, Todd & Joshua field your questions and address your concerns on avoiding foamy pours, equipment and kits to get started in homebrewing, and we learn that Todd is growing a beard due to a make-believe bet he thinks he made with Joshua…

Happy Friday all you homebrew fanatics!

Thanks to the high demand from YOU guys, we’ve brought James Carlson back on the show to join Todd and Joshua! In this episode, we discuss how exactly flow control faucets work and then James addresses a direct question for him regarding his brewing processes and planning methods.

Hey friends and happy Friday!

We’ve returned from our trip to Minneapolis for #HomebrewCon2017 and – to say the least – wowzers. WOWZERS!

We had every intention to actually record episodes of Homebrew Happy Hour while there on the show floor BUT, believe it or not, we were so busy at the CMBecker booth that we had no time to record (or eat, or sleep… we made time to drink though, don’t worry about that!).

In this “recap” episode, I (joshua) phone in CMBecker’s Director of Operations, James Carlson, to wrap up our thoughts on #HomebrewCon2017 and say “thanks!” to him for filling in for the MIA Todd Burns. Todd *should* be back soon though!

Don’t call it a comeback!

Actually, it is a comeback. We’re BACK, friends!

We are so thrilled to be relaunching the show and are flattered at all of your feedback and comments asking where we’ve been. The short answer: busy! Todd has been working hard and I’ve been, uh, working hard too.

In this episode, I sit down with CMBecker Internationals’ Director of Operations, James Carlson, as he fills in for Todd to help address some of your questions for the show!

Big news aside, we’ve got a GREAT show for you guys here today. We’re discussing the big news, holiday homebrewing, and we help a listener choose some upgrades for her kegerator kit.

Happy #PodcastDay everyone! International Podcast Day was established to help spread the word about podcasts both for creators and consumers of internet shows. As creators, we wanted to go BIG this year so we recorded episode 40 (our first episode since returning from #HomebrewCon!) LIVE over YouTube.

We had a blast taking your questions and doing the show live for you. If this is something you’d like to see more often, please let us know and we’ll seriously consider making livestreaming a regular occurrence for our show.

Can you believe that we made it through #HomebrewCon?! Wow, we had a blast and we’re so happy that you joined us for the adventure.

Wrapping up our time in Baltimore is this interview with HbrewO’s Mike Amat. HbrewO is a manufacturer of filtration systems for home brewing and, as homebrewers, we all know the importance of ‘good’ water!

From their site:  Water constitutes over 90% of beer and plays a huge role in how your beer is going to develop. With our BrewRO System, you are in control of your water quality and water profile. Remove the complications of chlorine, hard water, soft water, iron, and other contaminates by starting with purified water and building your own water profile from scratch to suit the beer you want to brew. You wouldn’t start a painting on a painted canvas, so why brew with untreated water? Great Beer Starts With Great Water.

Learn more from Mike and his company, HbrewO, in this final episode of ours from the 2016 #HomebrewCon!

A week at #HomebrewCon wouldn’t be complete without us interviewing somebody from the American Homebrewers Association or the Brewers Association!

We were fortunate enough to land an interview with the chief economist from the Brewers Association, Bart Watson! Chatting with Bart was a ton of fun as he provides a wealth of knowledge on statistics and information regarding the industry that lots of us would never have thought to even think about. If you’re on Twitter and are interested in the draft beer and homebrewing industries, he is definitely worth following a: @BrewersStats

Our time at #HomebrewCon continues and today’s show features one of our favorite guests to date: Annie Johnson!

Annie is a living legend in the homebrewing community, although she might not accept that title since she also happens to be an extremely humble person as well! Some quick stats on Annie: Annie is a high level BJCP Beer Judge, she is the Brew Master for PicoBrew (you know, those KickStarter darlings that are streamlining homebrewing and helping expose our passion to the masses!), she is also the 2013 AHA “Homebrewer of the Year”.

We are terribly grateful that she took the time out of her day to hang out with us and we know you’re going to love this episode as much as we loved making it.
