While Drew is getting his ducks in a row for the next series of shows – It's Replay time! And since we've been getting a lot of water questions, what better place to revist, than Martin's episode all about Bru'n water!

And for something that comprises so much of our beer, the chemistry we need to know to brew our best beer is Daunting – with a capital D. Drew sits down with Martin Brungard, creator of Bru'n Water, to demystify water chemistry and realize the functionality of Martin's mathmagical spreadsheet.

The Brew is Out There!
Many of the lessons that we learn as brewers, particularly as homebrewers, are of the “eh, this is the way it's been done historically”. And it feels like that's truer nowhere else but in mixed culture brewing. The gang at Milk the Funk are trying to bring the science to sour beer and you can witness the awe inspiring efforts behind their wiki. We're talking to Dan Pixley, the primary maintainer of the Wiki, about things he's learned and been surprised about over the years!
