Episode 103 of the Homebrew Happy Hour podcast is here for your listening AND viewing pleasure!

Howdy there, homebrewer!

Welcome back to episode 102 of our podcast. Even though we did begin our video podcasting journey at episode 100, this is actually the first episode we’ve produced in our new ‘standard’ with Joshua, Todd, and James all piping in from their respective locations! Believe it or not, it wasn’t a total cluster-you-know-what either! Heeeey!

Episode 102 features a fun conversation about base grains versus specialty grains in regards to how they’re used and specifically the differences in their fermentable sugars plus we take a question from a listener on brewing with blue berries.

0

Welcome to episode 101 of our little homebrew podcast!

Episode 100 last week may have had some snafus, but 101 should really be the standard we live by from now on regarding our video episode efforts! This week’s episode features a conversation with Heidi from West Coast Witches Brewing. Heidi is a homebrewer that specializes in cider! She brews, does tastings, cider reviews, and basically is who we will be going to from now on when we have questions about cider.

Learn more about what Heidi’s doing with West Coast Witches Brewing and make sure to follow her Instagram (click here) to keep up with all the fun.

An interview with Phil and Jason from Muntons Malt — HHH Ep. 099

0

Hey friends! Thanks for joining us and our little homebrew podcast 🙂

Can you believe that it’s already episode 99?! Next week we’ll be starting the next chapter of our show which means we’ll be including a VIDEO VERSION of each episode as well as our standard audio-only release. We figure that best case – some of you will watch and not judge us for our made-for-radio faces. Worst case – the feedback cripples us and we retreat to our rooms in the fetal position.

IN THE MEANTIME… we are so happy to present this week’s episode to you. Phil and Jason from Muntons joined us to record this from Todd’s ranch (so pardon the slight echo present) to discuss their company history and what the future looks like for Muntons. Spoiler: the future is looking great for them!

Welcome back to another episode of our homebrew and craft beer podcast!

Lorena is truly a wealth of knowledge and it’s obvious from this interview. With many many years of experience, Lorena is the brewer behind the vast majority of recipes found on sites like HomebrewSupply.com, Brewer’s Friend, and Homebrew Talk (where she is also a moderator!).

Discussions on being set up for cooler fermentation and lagering plus a question on kegerator faucets — HHH Ep. 097

0

Hey there homebrewer and welcome back to our homebrew podcast!

Joshua, James, AND Todd are back together on this episode (even though Todd is leaving us again for next week heading out to California… spoiler alert: Joshua wasn’t invited on the trip) and taking YOUR homebrew related questions.

Specifically, the guys discuss brewing a Kolsch and Altbier and having a set up that is good for cooler fermentations and lagering. They also take a question on kegerator faucets and, if you know Todd and James at all, then you already know that they have a ton to say about that topic so we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Fermenters: Plastic vs Glass vs Stainless Steel and a question on cleaning & sanitizing practices — HHH Ep. 096

0

Howdy friends and welcome back to our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!

In this episode, James is still on vacation and Todd had a meeting so Joshua begged Joe to join him and, thankfully, he obliged.

It’s a good thing Joe joined today’s show because it is a Q&A and with James out, we needed an adequate expert to replace him. Joe (and Joshua, sort of) take your questions today on comparing the various fermenters available (plastic vs glass vs stainless steel) as well as a question on cleaning and sanitizing practices. There’s lots of good information on today’s show and we’re very excited to be sharing it with you!

Tasting homebrew from a listener and discussing running long liquid lines from cooler to faucets — HHH Ep. 095

Welcome back to another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!

James is on vacation so Joshua and Todd step up to the plate to take your questions on today’s show!

Actually – today’s show is filled with much more beer tasting and kicking the can rather than actually addressing your technical questions about brewing but we think it came out alright! Specifically, a long time listener of the show sent in some of his own homebrew for us to taste so we thought that there was no better place to do the tasting than on an episode of our podcast (spoiler: the beer was phenomenal and we raved on and on about both styles he sent in).

An Interview with John Blichmann from Blichmann Engineering — HHH Ep. 094

Welcome back to another fun-filled episode of our homebrewing podcast!

Today’s show officially wraps up our #HomebrewCon 2018 content! We saved the best for last (as James would definitely call it) and have a wonderful interview with the self-professed “Supreme Commander” at Blichmann Engineering; Mr. John Blichmann himself!

Unless you are BRAND new to homebrewing, you probably already have an understanding of Blichmann products. Renowned in our industry for high-quality kettles, burners, brew systems, and more, Blichmann has been around for a while and we definitely had some fanboy moments having John on the show. John Blichmann is, easily, one of the most laid back and enjoyable people you’ll ever meet in the industry so we’re extremely proud and excited to present this interview to you all!
