What’s better than a new episode of your favorite homebrew podcast?

The answer: NOTHING. 🙂

When we don’t have a new episode to offer you though, the next best thing is a giveaway just for you all! Make sure you listen to this painfully long (2’ish minutes?) announcement on how we’re giving away $50 gift cards to Kegconnection and Homebrew Supply! You’ll hear how you can enter your name into the drawing AND how there’s ways to get multiple entries.

Welcome back to your favorite homebrew focused podcast!

I mean, we’re assuming it’s your favorite. If it isn’t your favorite, just let us pretend because it really does wonders for our ego.

Joking aside, we are PUMPED to have both Todd and James back on the show after their return from the old country. We recap their recent European trip and field questions regarding European beer culture as well as a question on spotting infections in your beer during the entire brewing process (link to the HBS article mentioned in today’s show: https://www.homebrewsupply.com/learn/is-my-batch-infected.html)

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed producing it for you!

Hello homebrewer and welcome back to another episode of our show!

2018 is off to a crazy start already but we’re back bringing you a fun-filled jam-packed episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour.

Since Todd and James are both out of country (Joshua never gets invited on these trips… weird?!), Ladik Joe Ermis from HomebrewSupply.com joins Joshua and saves the day as we all know at least one expert on homebrew is necessary for these episodes to go smoothly!

The guys take your questions on making yeast starters, our thoughts on the rising presence of micro-breweries and brew-pubs in the country, and a reader asks us what we’re currently drinking – so we share that too!

It’s a new year and the FIRST episode of our show for 2018!

We hope you all had a WONDERFUL Christmas holiday season as well as new year! We also hope that you were able to enjoy some relaxation and maybe even a brew day or two if you had the time. It’s a great time of the year for brewing and we’re excited to present to you the first episode of our show for the new year.

On today’s show, it’s really all about James. To be fair, we (Todd and Joshua) don’t usually mind passing most questions off to James and then just agreeing with him or adding “yes, that’s exactly my thoughts too” at the end of his sentences… Joking aside, today’s show is all about faucets and flow control. We discuss balancing lines when you’re using a flow control faucet, the differences between entry level and premium faucets, plus we also discuss the brand new V3N Stout faucet from CMBecker and how folks are implementing it for their beer and coffee!

Joshua and Todd are back in the country and now it’s time for another fun-filled episode of our show!

The guys spend way too much time in the beginning discussing their recent trips out of the country (spoiler alert: cruise ship beer isn’t that great) but we did have a blast recording this episode for you guys. We also take your questions on some of my 2017 favorites: favorite equipment, memorable homebrew moments, and our 2018 homebrew resolutions for the new year!

Happy Friday, Homebrewer, and welcome back to the Homebrew Happy Hour!

For today’s show, Joshua, James, and Todd discuss step mashing and calculating yeast pitching rates. James and Todd also give Joshua a hard time, despite today being his 10th wedding anniversary (he is literally on a cruise ship right now if you’re reading this on the date we published this episode!). It’s never a bad time to give Joshua grief, it seems.

Howdy Homebrewer and welcome to another fun filled episode of our podcast!

We’ve got another Q&A episode lined up for you that we had a blast recording. We take your questions today on starting a homebrew club, tips and tricks for preventing boil overs, and a discussion on aluminum vs stainless steel kettles.

ALSO – much to the chagrin of Joshua’s ego, Joshua learns that anything embarrasing that happens to him WILL, in fact, not get edited out of the show before publishing. Thanks, guys… (you’ll understand what this means about 2/3’s of the way through this episode!)

Can you tell who came up with the title for this week’s show?

It’s true, it was me (joshua). The reason I’m in complete control right now is because I’m solo and here to announce that, unfortunately, we don’t have a new episode this week. It’s been CRAZY busy with the usuals on the show and this week’s guest had to cancel so we’re sorry we couldn’t bring you fresh content for this week.

No worries, we will be back next week with a brand new episode! Any and all hate mail regarding the lack of a new show this week can be sent to [insert Todd’s email address here]!

Are you completely stuffed full of turkey, dressing, and homebrew?!

We know we are! What a fantastic Friday to be sharing with you guys! This also happens to be one of the biggest retail shopping days of the year, so you can imagine how hectic Todd’s acting right now as he is the Chief Keg Washer for Kegconnection.com!

Joking aside, we have a great episode today that features your questions on comparing all-grain systems, setting up for sparkling water, and our thoughts on homebrewers who choose to skip over some of the “traditional” things homebrewers often do.
