Hey there, homebrewer!

Welcome back to our little homebrew podcast

I’d like to start this episode with praising today’s guest, Kenny Highman from “The Brewer of Seville“, for being an awesome interviewee and also a saint of patience!

In case you didn’t already know, we record this show earlier in the week and then after some touching up (i.e- automated audio processing to make us sound better than we really should), we then publish the show. In the 121 episodes of just this show that I’ve produced, we’ve maybe had bad enough technical difficulties or one of us will flub bad enough that we have to stop recording and fix the issue. I never (and I mean NEVER) really even bring that up with guests but before recording today’s show I happened to mention to Kenny that “in case we flub, we can stop and fix the issue. no worries because it NEVER happens!”… my subtle smugness would prove to be my downfall because poor Kenny had to hang out with me for over an hour just to produce the content for today’s show! The good news is that Kenny is a blast to hang out with and I am super happy that I got to know him better even thru all my technical difficulties and flubs.

On Today’s Show

Kenny, also know as The Brewer of Seville, joins me to talk about his homebrewing journey. This is another edition of our “Homebrewer Showcase” and the more I produce these episodes, the more I’m really enjoying them. Kenny hasn’t been homebrewing for a very long time but you can tell throughout this episode that he’s zealous for the craft and it’s exciting to see what he’s doing. I am confident that you’re going to enjoy this podcast episode!

Howdy friends and welcome back to our little homebrew podcast

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Valentine’s day with your loved one and/or your favorite brew! Also, we hope you’ve got some brew days planned for the near future. My pop and I will finally be brewing our first all grain batch together in our new Cooler Brew system this coming weekend. To say that I’m excited would be a huge under-statement. We’ll be brewing an IPA like I discussed last week with Joe from Homebrew Supply and I’ll definitely keep you in the loop on how it turns out!

On Today’s Show

Todd and James are back with me to take your homebrew related questions. First, we discuss tips for avoiding stuck sparges on your brew day. Then, we answer a question seeking advice on building out a kegerator or keezer. It’s my favorite kind of episode to do with Todd and James because these types of questions are perfect for them and I get to sit back and pretend like I know what I’m talking about – it’s great!

It’s almost the end of January and Todd is still dry.

In case you haven’t been keeping up; Todd made a pledge to not drink a single beer (actually, to not have a single drink of any alcohol) for the entire month of January. Believe it or not, he’s kept to it which is way better than how I’m keeping up with my resolution to work out more and quit eating breakfast cereal for every meal. ANYWAY – We’re super proud of Todd but he has assured me that the first episode of February will be a wonderful return for him so we are definitely looking forward to that.

On Today’s Show

Today’s show is a fantastic Q&A episode discussing your questions about lagering in a keg as well as the differences in base malts. Many folks like to simplify their brew process and fermenting in a keg is an extremely common practice, but what about lagering in a keg? Do you lager/cold crash/cold condition your beers at all? Then we dive into the surface level of base malts and their differences. This is when I should mention how grateful I am for James and Todd’s knowledge because I was totally ready to just Google this question and read off a screen but my favorite co-hosts were able to join me for this week’s episode!

What a great time to be a homebrewer, don’t you agree?

I know, I know, I say that all the time on the show, but I genuinely mean it. We have access to the most information ever available in human history, not to mention access to the best ingredients ever available in human history. (and pretty much on demand all year round for the most part, which is stinking incredible when you think about it) Plus, we have access to the best podcast about homebrewing ever produced in the history of civilization. I am, of course, referring to The BeerSmith Podcast, in case you were wondering. 😉

Kidding aside, we’re so happy to present today’s show to you! We start off with a question about what “unpopular opinions” we may have towards homebrewing or craft beer in general. We had posed this question to you all earlier this week and after reading many of your replies, I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe some of the opinions we here at Homebrew Happy Hour hold aren’t as unpopular as we thought! Then we also take a question on best shank size practices when building out a keezer.

It’s our first episode of the new year!

With that being said, happy 2019 homebrewer! We hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and that 2019 is treating you well so far. For us, it’s always a crazy busy time of the year but in the best of ways!

Due to the crazy busyness of the moment, Todd and James had to sit this week’s episode out. Fortunately, Joshua was joined by Heidi from West Coast Witches Brewing in a last minute hail Mary to come do a follow up interview on what she’s been up to. Amazingly, a LOT has been going on for her over the last 15’ish weeks since we last had her on the show. She’s launched a sweet new Patreon, a fantastic new podcast, she’s producing lots of new video content, and is also now the California rep for the Cider Scene website. So… yeah, LOTS going on and we cover it all on this our first episode of 2019!

Hey there, homebrewer!

Our show today is another special episode where we feature one of YOU, a wonderful member of the homebrewing community. Joining Joshua on today’s show is Brandon Allen. Brandon is a young Indiana homebrewer who, like Joshua, brews with his father and is an active member of his local homebrew club. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting Brandon in person at this year’s Homebrew Convention in Portland and we’ve also been lucky (HUGE emphasis on LUCKY) to have tasted plenty of Brandon’s homebrew and, trust us – it is solid! He favors Belgian styles, brews on The Grainfather, and has been a longtime listener of the show… suffice to say, he’s awesome!

Hello there and welcome back to our homebrewing podcast!

Todd is out for today’s show so, lucky for you, Joshua and James bring you the answers to your homebrewing questions.

On today’s episode, we specifically discuss a question on the benefits (if any) that come from doing extended boils on higher ABV extract recipes PLUS we take a question from a listener who can’t quite figure out why his beer is “flattening” when serving even though his carb levels appear to be normal and there isn’t a known present leak.
