Brew Files – Episode 43 – An Old Secret

Posted on by

The Brew is Out There!
On this week's episode, while last week we explored the new, this week we're taking a look at one of Denny's favorite “old” styles – Altbier. Come join as we try and explain exactly what makes an alt, an alt and how you can brew what we think is one of the best beers for the pending fall even if sometimes it's a secret.

Brew Files – Episode 41 – Parti In My Pots

Posted on by

The Brew is Out There!
We like to Brew. We like to Party. We like to Parti… . This week we're going to dive into an old fashioned technique that allows you to brew beautifully strong beers without wasting any left over malty goodness! Two Beers for the Price of One Mash
Parti-Gyle Equations:
Gravity Points batch 1 = Gravity PointsTotal x Volume Total × SugarPercentage1 / (Volume Batch 1)
Gravity Points batch 2 = Gravity PointsTotal × Volume Total x SugarPercentage2 / (Volume Batch 2)
Sugar Percentages for 1/3-2/3rd Splits (e.g. 5gallons/10gallons)
SugarPercentage1 = 0.67
SugarPercentage2 = 0.33
Sugar Percentages for 1/2-1/2 Splits (e.g. 5gallons/5gallons)
SugarPercentage1 = 0.58
SugarPercentage2 = 0.42
To figure out what the “Total Batch” gravity needs to be from a desired Batch 1 gravity
Gravity PointsTotal = (Gravity Points Batch 1 x Volume Batch 1)/(TotalVolume x SugarPercentage1)

Episode 68 – Simmzy’s Second Story With Herbie

Posted on by

What happens when your pub chain wants a brewery but has no room? You make room! When Brian Herbertson joined the Simmzy’s group, that was his challenge. The answer – stick it on the second floor! Together we sit down and discuss just how you put a brewery on the second story, tackling supplying a whole chain with beer from one location and his spin on the summer’s new hit style – Brut IPA. We also get some great feedback on Speed Brewing and Drew butchers the Polish language, again. We cover punks in the news, alcohol in the industry, the British Museum, homebrew charity and answer your questions!

Posted on by

The Brew is Out There!
Although the season marches invariably onwards towards the warmer temperatures of Spring and Summer, we still have our nice cool climes and the opportunity to enjoy our cellar treasures. But while we're digging into the cellar for those riches, maybe we should replenish them while long brewing days are still pleasant! In this episode, we'll walk you through our experiences making big beers – our secrets – and offer up two of the finest we've made. Sit back and break out the barleywine!

Brew Files – Episode 27 – Lager Myths

Posted on by

The Brew is Out There!
While it's nice and chilly in most of the US, we figured what better time to sit down and talk with Zymurgy editor and Lager afficionado, Dave Carpenter about the wide world of lagers, myths about them and why you should be making them at home. Oh and did we mention Dave has a book about Lager as well?
