Lawsuits, awards and beer, oh my! We look at who's won awards at the GABF and talk about the world of seltzers and lawsuits before digging into a new experimental way of preparing hops and fake styles! Oh and people have feelings about brew bags and all in one systems and using computers for the BJCP!

As hop aroma science has evolved, it figures the wizards at Yakima Chief would attempt to split the aroma atom. They've unleashed a blend of hop components that target specific compounds to “pop” fruit forward aromas. YCH's Spencer Tielkemeyer and Joe Wells of Fair State Brewing help us understand how to maximize your Pop.

Since our last new non-QA episode of the show, things got interesting in the beer world. We talk to Melissa McCann of the Women's International Beer Summit (and the newly formed Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance). In the meanwhile we also talk about what to do about sexism. (Spoiler: the answer is simple – treat people like they're actually people with full rights, feelings and abilities)

We've been a bit delayed this summer due to travel (remember that?) and renovations (along with everyone else in the country)!
We'll be back next week with brand new episodes – but in the meanwhile, enjoy our a replay on our discussion on Saison Stalls and Denny's interview with Brian Perkey of Lallemand about his long history and what's changing in the world of brewing!

REPLAY! (For HomebrewCon Time!)
We've survived the PGPDF and are back and catching back up! We've got a whole slew of feedback, news stories, brew sessions, hop science, micro-resolutions (aka things we think we can do), a listener's brewing experience and… the juicy story of why you can buy Columbus, Tomahawk or Zeus in the hop freezer – sit back for a lesson in farm spying!

Show note – ~34 minutes, Denny says “gypsum, chloride”. He meant “gypsum, calcium chloride”
