On Today’s Show:

We’re back at it and still taking FOUR questions per episode now. We are receiving so many incredible questions from you all so it makes my job easier when writing out the show notes for each weekly episode. Today, we discuss using yeast nutrients and when it’s appropriate. We also talk about how a brewer can achieve clearer/brighter IPAs (especially when you’re brewing something like a traditional West Coast IPA and not an intentionally hazy NEIPA). Then we talk about hitting yours gravity numbers on brew day and whether or not you should stress out about it. Finally, end with a question about following the guidelines that come with your brewing system (specifically, electric all-in-ones) or should you follow the recipe guidelines more? It was a great show that also included irrelevant small talk and some embarrassing moments for me that I was too lazy to edit out. C’est la vie!

We want to hear from you!
