Episode 130 – A New Way To Figure Out Hops

We took a week off from hops, but we could never leave them for long. With all of the new ways of using hops, the IBU (which was already a lie) seems increasingly inadequate to reflect the modern beer experience. We're talking to our friends – Sam and Marko, from Grainfather – to discuss a new way to calculate the impact of our hop usage.

If you love great craft beer, then you should be excited about the future of great craft malt!

REPLAY EPISODE – Sorry y'all, there's been a death in the family, so the new episode of the Brew Files is delayed. But trust us, you'll want to listen to this to prepare for episode 98!
The Brew is Out There!
For some February is all about chocolate, but for the hop obsessed, February is all about the sweet, sweet bitterness of Pliny the Younger. If you don't live in an area that gets the limited shipments of Younger or you just don't want to wait in line, we've got you covered with Craig Shapland's amazing “Old School Triple IPA” that he's refined over the years with new ingredients and techniques. Sit back, it's time to get bitter!

It's amazing how much dust can get kicked up in two weeks. In this episode we're looking at a bunch of kerfluffles (both serious and not so) that have risen recently before diving into some news about native African beers and what we've been brewing. (Oh and Drew tells you why

Episode 126 – REPLAY – The Myth of Mino

REPLAY TIME!
This episode we talk about two of our favorite online communities and their upcoming distributed competitions. We stop in the pub to do a little talk about mashing obsessions and the law and homebrewing. We head to the library to talk about Scott Janish's article on DMS, causes and cures and his test. Denny and I talk about his favorite homebrew myths before he heads to the land by the waters – Milwaukee – where he talks to Mino Choi, a homebrewer with a culinary obsession and a couple of 50 point entries under his belt. Mino talks his process, his designing and some agressive techniques he uses to drive his fermentations.
We come back to our “Something Other Than Beer” segment with Denny enjoying spending time with Cecilia Chiang, the Chinese cuisine equivalent to Julia Child and we close out with Drew circling back to a lesson from earlier in the show!

Brew Files – Episode 94 – REPLAY – Water, Water Everywhere

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!
The Brew is Out There! TECHNIQUE SHOW
Water is an important chemical – without it we wouldn't have beer! 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.
