Brew Files – Episode 51 – Real Time Recipe Challenge

The Brew is Out There!
We asked our listeners to challenge us – give us a beer idea you want us to design and prepare to make. Out of the pile of suggestions we each chose one recipe to challenge the other with. In this inaugural challenge, we only find out what recipe we're supposed to formulate right then. Listen to us walk you through how we'd tackle these challenges.
And congrats to Aaron Kennison and Eric Pierce who'll be receiving a half pound of Yakima Chief Hops' Veteran's Blend!

Episode 81 – Uncommon Common With Ten Mile

After our adventures down in Australia, it's time to get local again with Ten Mile Brewing in Signal Hill, California. Drew sits down with Dan Sundstrom to talk how the brewer got started and why they have a focus on tradition including their attempts to bring the Kentucky Common to California.
But first we've got to cover the bad beer news and some brewing for a good cause news before we borrow a quick tip from Chino and a quick tip of a book series that Drew now has to wait to be finished.

Brew Files – Episode 50 – A Year Of Beer

Episode 80 – An Extra Special Batch of Beer

Last call in Australia! On our final night in Sydney, we did a presentation at Batch Brewing Company. After 1100 kilometers of driving and not killing each other – Denny and Drew enjoyed meeting a healthy gathering of local homebrewers. After the talk, Drew sat down with Chris Sidwa of Batch Brewing Company. Together they talk how a Jersey kid ended up surviving a company crash overseas and turned it into his dream of owning a brewery and the steps he takes to ensure he's doing good for the beer and his people. Naturally we also talk beer news, some more explanation of the brew experiment from Australia, q and a, tips and something other in this very Aussie themed show!

The Brew is Out There!
We know that we need good yeast to make great beer and we need to treat them right. Somehow we've managed to go through 48 episodes of this show without talking methods of treating your yeast right. On this show, we'll walk through how we used to do things and why we changed and Denny will even challenge Drew to get uncomfortable!

Episode 79 – Live from Down Under

We'd be planning it for two years, but we finally made it to Australia! We spoke at the Australian National Homebrewers Conference (link below) and recorded this live session of the podcast! In this episode we talk to the organizers of the conference Andy and John. We talk to Peter Symons and the winner of the Australian Amateur Brewing Championship Barry Cranston. We chat with Dr. Evan Evans about why beer glasses matter and finally we close up with a beer experiment with Helen Hewson and we'll see how our crowd does with a triangle test!

Brew Files – Episode 48 – The Ice House

The Brew is Out There!

As the weather turns colder and the nights are spookier, our thoughts turn to stronger beers and what better way to get a stronger beer than to take advantage of the cold. So let's get cold and freeze our beer to make the smoothest strong beer you can. It's time to get really frosty.

Episode 73 – Click, Clack and Klickitat

As summer wends it's way to it's end – ometime around the fifth of never here in Los Angeles – we start thinking about bigger, better beers for those cold winter days. Friend of the podcast, Jim Leininger, joins us (after our usual shenanigans) to talk about making his very amazing Imperial Stout with reiterated mashing. But first, the news…

Brew Files – Episode 41 – Parti In My Pots

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)
