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!

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!

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.

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.

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)

When everything is going right, our fermentations run easily with a smooth transformation of sugar into ethanol and CO2. When things don't go right, well, our beer pays the price.
