The Brew Is Out There!

Given all the recent talk about extract and brewing – its time to revisit a 2017 conversation!

Drew and Denny hit the phones with Jay Ankeney, a long time homebrewer in Los Angeles who’s been brewing longer than most of us. And interestingly – Jay still brews with extract and grains. Why does he still brew with extract? What are some of his tips and tricks and what does he do that either agrees or disagrees with prevailing wisdom. Well, you’re going to have to listen!

The Brew Is Out There!

We’re going way back in time with Dr. Travis Rupp, the Beer Archaeologist. We’re tackling the question of “what is beer”, “what has it been over the course of human history”, and “what does it mean for us as brewers today?” Also, why did the Romans steal everything, including the Greek disdain for beer?

**Episode 172 – REPLAY – pH With Martin** Mar 19, 2023

The subject of water and most importantly, pH can be utterly confounding. Buffering capacity, acids, salt concentrations, “measurements expressed as” and temperature add to a mix of questions that baffle even experienced brewers. We sit down with Martin Brungard to work through common questions we see online to see if we can get answers!

Brew Files – 132 – Brown Thoughts with Wayne Nov 08, 2022

Drew talks with Wayne Wambles of Cigar City Brewing about lessons learned from the multi-award winning Maduro Brown and where it both reflects and differs from the nebulous idea of the style.

We sit down with Michael Gwynn, who did pretty much that – with an assist from a certain pandemic – to win the Oregon Homebrewer of the Year.

Brew Files – 114 – The Lost Belgian Pale Ale Feb 18, 2022

The Brew is Out There!
Belgian yeasts and hops don't mix – at least not until recently – unless we're talking about Belgian Pale Ale. It's an odd mix of British and Belgian flavors and approaches. So, I sit down with San Diego's Belgian beer fanatic par excellence, Tomme Arthur of Lost Abbey Brewing to break down how we'd make our own Belgian Pale Ale.

Episode 137 – Pop Goes the IPA Aug 29, 2021

As hop aroma science has evolved, it figures the wizards at Yakima Chief would attempt to split the aroma atom. They've unleashed a blend of hop components that target specific compounds to “pop” fruit forward aromas. YCH's Spencer Tielkemeyer and Joe Wells of Fair State Brewing help us understand how to maximize your Pop.

Episode 130 – A New Way To Figure Out Hops Apr 07, 2021

We took a week off from hops, but we could never leave them for long. With all of the new ways of using hops, the IBU (which was already a lie) seems increasingly inadequate to reflect the modern beer experience. We're talking to our friends – Sam and Marko, from Grainfather – to discuss a new way to calculate the impact of our hop usage.

Episode 126 – REPLAY – The Myth of Mino Feb 12, 2021

REPLAY TIME!
This episode we talk about two of our favorite online communities and their upcoming distributed competitions. We stop in the pub to do a little talk about mashing obsessions and the law and homebrewing. We head to the library to talk about Scott Janish's article on DMS, causes and cures and his test. Denny and I talk about his favorite homebrew myths before he heads to the land by the waters – Milwaukee – where he talks to Mino Choi, a homebrewer with a culinary obsession and a couple of 50 point entries under his belt. Mino talks his process, his designing and some agressive techniques he uses to drive his fermentations.
We come back to our “Something Other Than Beer” segment with Denny enjoying spending time with Cecilia Chiang, the Chinese cuisine equivalent to Julia Child and we close out with Drew circling back to a lesson from earlier in the show!

Brew Files – Episode 89 – Milk The Funk Jul 23, 2020

The Brew is Out There!
Many of the lessons that we learn as brewers, particularly as homebrewers, are of the “eh, this is the way it's been done historically”. And it feels like that's truer nowhere else but in mixed culture brewing. The gang at Milk the Funk are trying to bring the science to sour beer and you can witness the awe inspiring efforts behind their wiki. We're talking to Dan Pixley, the primary maintainer of the Wiki, about things he's learned and been surprised about over the years!

Episode 112 – Replay – Sticky Hands, Sticky Questions Feb 14, 2020

Denny Was In Hawaii – So we're replaying one of our favorite episodes! All new content next week!
To start the show, we hit the feedback slush pile, including a voicemail feedback about the Walmart lawsuit.
In the pub, it's a little different today as we sit down with Nick Arzner of Block 15 to drink one of Denny's favorite beers – Sticky Hands IPA. We discuss the origins of the beer and the secrets behind the powerful hop character the beer carries (pro tip – new fancy hop powders)
From there – it's Question time and once again y'all provided so many questions- we're splitting it up! Today we cover Malts, Mashing, Hops and Yeast!
Next episode – even more Questions along with your brewing disasters!

Episode 105 – Revisit – You've Got Questions, We've got “Answers” Nov 06, 2019

Denny and Drew are recovering from their road trip! So here's a revisit of our very first Q&A show
It's Episode 10 and it's finally time to see if we're as smart as we say we are. We discuss the listener response to our Session Beer efforts and promise to post a kickass list of session beer recipes. (Link below) We run off to the pub and discuss the recently concluded Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference and the lameness of “pink washing” and silly sexism. And then to the lecture hall where “Professors” Denny and Drew sit down and try and see how long they can fake actually knowing anything. For listener ease we've broken the questions up into categories so you can find things more easily. OVer the course of twenty some odd questions we tackle questions about ingredients, process, styles, yeast and everything else. Before we leave, Drew gives a brief shout out to two very impactful passings that recently occurred. One to the man whose decision in the 70's still impacts us to this day. The other, well, that one's more important to Chihuahua owners.

Brew Files – Episode 66 – Middling Beer Jul 10, 2019

The Brew is Out There!
We've been talking a lot about lower alcohol beers recently – part of a trend – but a real problem for these beers is fewer ingredients means fewer chances to inject flavor. Drew sits down with Phil Jensen and talks about using a by-product of the flour milling industry to boost beer flavor. They may be called “middlings”, but their impact is anything but. Sit back – it's time to taste some beer!

Brew Files – Episode 65 – American Nothingness Jun 26, 2019

The Brew is Out There!
American Light Lager is by far and away, the most popular style of beer in America. No matter how much we gnash our teeth about it, it's the truth. It's also the truth that this little bit of “nothing” can be the hardest technical challenge a brewer can face. Are you up to it?

Episode 95 – One Percent Ales and Other Tales with Mike Jun 19, 2019

Over the last decade, Asheville has become a mecca of breweries, but perhaps none of them have the dedication to history and brewing as a passion as the improbably tiny Zebulon Artisan Ales helmed by long time brewer, former homebrew shop owner and man of odd business hours, Mike Karnowski. Drew sat down with Mike and covered the beer (including a really satisfying 1% Mild on handpump and other treats), the business and the meaning of beer in a world suddenly awash in breweries.

One problem with us sitting here and giving our brewing advice – you never get to taste our beer! While we can't ship everyone a beer, you can finally hear Denny's feedback about Drew's canned IPAs. We're tasting Drew's 45th Birthday IPA and Cape Point New South African Hazy IPA

Episode 94 – Brewing Isle Style Jun 05, 2019

HomeBrewCon steadily marches closer and on this episode we sit down with Jeremy Duffy of Isle Brewers Guild about their unique way of running a brewery – and what we can expect when we (and hopefully you) party with them on the 26th! But before we get there, we check the beer news, a new book that's just been released, Denny's latest mistake (and our disagreement). Sit back and relax – we're on island time!

Brew Files – Episode 63 – Run Like An Athlete May 29, 2019

The Brew is Out There!
In the world of beer, we hold this truth to be self-evident – Non-Alcoholic beer sucks. Does it have to, though? With growing interest in healthier options, there's a movement afoot to make craft inspired non-alcoholic beer. Drew sits down with Bill Shufelt of Athletic Brewing to discuss what's wrong with the NA beer of the past and what made him open a non-alcoholic brewery. And of course, we'll give the beers a taste and see how close they come to the hard stuff.

Episode 92 – Revisiting NEIPA, Bainbridge & Gin May 08, 2019

As we release this, Denny is somewhere recovering from invading the fine country of Belgium. Next episode we'll get into it. But on this episode, we wanted to step back and take a look at where we started on our journey of New England “Hazy” IPA (Episode 15), revisit one of the strange beer ideas Drew still gets questions about with Russell Everett's Cool Ranch Beer from Bainbridge Brewing(Episode 23) and the infamous Gin discussion that some of you probably didn't get to because it was in our April Fools episode (Episode 63).

Episode 89 – Brew With Drew Mar 27, 2019

Every year Drew holds a “Brew with a Falcon” event at his brewery. This year there's more brewing hijinks with new toys and new yeasts as well. Sit down with the crew as they recount what happened and what they love about brewing. In addition, we taste a listener's beer to try and find the cause and cure for his beer's unhappiness. All this and more!

The Brew is Out There!
For some February is all about chocolate, but for the hop obsessed, February is all about the sweet, sweet bitterness of Pliny the Younger.

Sit back, it's time to get bitter!

Episode 83 – Love Thy Long Beach Neighbor Jan 02, 2019

Happy New Beer! We kick off the new year with a look at how the folks at We Love LB and the Long Beach Homebrewers are using homebrew to build a better neighborhood. First we'll talk to Scott Jones, the executive director of We Love LB about his mission to strengthen his community and how beer helps and then we talk to Neil Ian Horowitz of the Long Beach Homebrewers about how the club got involved and what beer he provided to the festivities. It's an interesting model that we think can be duplicated around the world!
But first we've got to take your feedback, cover the beer news including what the shutdown means for beer and Teri Farendorf's take on the “Inebriation” Industry, some foundational numbers and calculations and our favorite brewing experiences of the past year.

Episode 82 – Thinking and Drinking with John Holl Dec 19, 2018

Just in time for Christmas and the new year, Drew sits down with John Holl of Craft Beer & Brewing to talk about his new book – Drink Beer, Think Beer. We talk where the industry is and why John's hope for the future isn't a very popular one.
But first we've got to tkae your feedback, cover the beer news – including a controversial take on IPA's drinkers, and then cover Denny's gluten free brewing antics, Drew's rat attack and a new way to egg.

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 Dec 05, 2018

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.

Episode 80 – An Extra Special Batch of Beer Nov 21, 2018

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!

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 Oct 31, 2018

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.

Brew Files – Episode 45 – Water, Water Everywhere Sep 19, 2018

The Brew is Out There! TECHNIQUE SHOW
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!
Every year the Maltose Falcons help the Los Angeles County Fair with their homemade beer competition. This year's winner Mike Hale of the High Desert Home Brewers Anonymous won for his beer called Crue's Crumbs, a Pecan Coffee Cake Imperial Stout.

Brew Files – Episode 41 – Parti In My Pots Jul 25, 2018

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)

Two big things on today's show as we get ready for HomeBrewCon! The first, we asked you for your Brewday disasters and boy did you deliver. So we're going to run through some of our favorite stories of things gone horribly wrong. And in more positive and hopful news, Drew talks with Richard Smith of Florida Hops, LLC about the challenges of pulling off the improbable – growing hops in the humid heat of Florida. We'll find out new techniques he's establishing and the impact of Florida terroir on our favorite hops!

Brew Files – Episode 38 – Going Off Jun 13, 2018

The Brew is Out There!
Knowledge Show
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. In this episode, we'll look at the most common off-flavors we've encountered, what causes them and how to prevent/fix them. So, sit back, we're going off the rails…

Episode 68 – Simmzy’s Second Story With Herbie Jun 06, 2018

What happens when your pub chain wants a brewery but has no room? You make room! When Brian Herbertson joined the Simmzy’s group, that was his challenge. The answer – stick it on the second floor! Together we sit down and discuss just how you put a brewery on the second story, tackling supplying a whole chain with beer from one location and his spin on the summer’s new hit style – Brut IPA. We also get some great feedback on Speed Brewing and Drew butchers the Polish language, again. We cover punks in the news, alcohol in the industry, the British Museum, homebrew charity and answer your questions!

Episode 67 – Eclectic IPAland May 23, 2018

Are you experienced, IPA drinker? Prepare to have your IPA world made more Eclectic as Drew sits talks with the legendary Dick Cantwell about his new book, Eclectic IPA. Together we take a look at where IPA came from, where it is and where Dick thinks it's going. Yes, we even talk about the haze and somehow, improbably, smoked peaches. Who knew? Elsewhere, we tackle water quality, diastaticus and your feedback on the cryo experiment (and let you know what's coming next!).

Episode 66 – Flash Frozen Homebrew May 09, 2018

SCIENCE TIME!
Sit back and relax, it's getting frosty in here! On this episode of the podcast, we breakdown the results of our Cryo/T-90 experiment. And since the results were so “weird” – we brought in some extra help in the form of some of the IGORs who helped with the podcast including Brad Macleod, Eric Pierce and Miguel Loza Brown. Together we talk what went right (and sometimes what went wrong with the brew days) and what we all thought of the Cryo beers (including some numbers courtesy of White Labs).
And then in the lounge, Drew sits down with Joshua M. Bernstein, author of the newly released Homebrew World about the stories you find when you talk to homebrewers around the world.
And of course we also cover the whole wide world of beer news, talk about some brewing adventures, answer some questions, drop a little British Museum on you before we get you back to the world.

Episode 65 – Travels with Paula Apr 25, 2018

We're still in New Zealand, but this time we're joined by Denny's better half as she walks us through her experience exploring the beers of New Zealand. What stories did she discover about the breweries (and her thought about their IPAs)? And then Denny hits the fields to discover how hop research is carried out in New Zealand! IN the pub, it's all the news fit to drink to, including Denny's anniversary and ABI's impact on homebrewing. In the library we cover some great recipes from Jester King before talking about a new IPA style and why people are confusing it for something Belgian, a little science tease and of course a quick tip and Denny's new cooking obsession.

Episode 62 – Transforming the Boot Camp Mar 14, 2018

It's back – it's science time! But first… we hit the feedback back, talk about some elections and other beer news – including Sierra Nevada's throwback beer move and the new beer style that's got people up in arms. In the library we discuss whether or not Prohibition was a good thing for beer and why American versions of British beers seem to fall short – according to the Brits. In the brewery, Drew discusses a very cool charity he just worked with and YCHops sets the record straight on the hop glut. In the lab, we look at the hot hop topic of BioTransform from the results of our IGORs. In the lounge, we sit down with Brad Ring from BYO to discuss their boot camp format before we close out with the Q's & the A's, quick tip and say goodbye to one of the best actors Denny ever got to work with.

Episode 60 – The Endless Quest for Answers Feb 14, 2018

*cough* What we mean to say is every 12 episodes, we take your questions and try our best to give you an answer or two or three in some cases. Sit back! It's answering time!

Episode 59 – Yeast Mysteries with Sui Generis Jan 31, 2018

In our ongoing efforts to try and learn everything – and fail miserably – we revisit Denny's question from Episode 58 about dried lager strains labelled like ale strains. After much listener input, Drew sits down with Bryan Heit of Sui Generis Brewing to get the current scientific picture on yeast genetics. It turns out science makes for really complicated answers! Plus, we talk retirement, rough times for craft brewers, charity and how lasers are making better beer before digging into your questions. Finally, we close out with Denny's favorite new cooking show!

On this week's episode, it's fully the new years which means it time to see just what we're going to fail at this year! And we're bringing you along for the ride! But first, a Christmas Miracle, some expired LME and being mindful in the pub. In the Brewery, Denny has some questions about dried lager yeast – can you help him out? In the Lab, we get an update on the IBU test Denny's operating through. And then finally we hit the list – we talk about how “well” we did last year and what we plan to try and win at this year! You listeners also had a bunch of suggestions for resolutions, so let's see! Finally, we close out with a pair of new history podcasts from Drew and get you on your merry way!

Brew Files – Episode 27 – Lager Myths Jan 10, 2018

The Brew is Out There!
While it's nice and chilly in most of the US, we figured what better time to sit down and talk with Zymurgy editor and Lager afficionado, Dave Carpenter about the wide world of lagers, myths about them and why you should be making them at home. Oh and did we mention Dave has a book about Lager as well?

Episode 57 – Future Chill Jan 03, 2018

On this week's episode, we announce our new charity – it has a personal connection for Denny. We hit the pub and talk a fund raiser for IGOR Miguel's daughter's cancer fight at Rouleur Brewery and we dig out the crystal balls to see what we can see for the world of homebrewing and craft brewing for 2018. In the brewery we look through Drew's notes from the latest Zymurgy Live with Dogfish Head. In the Lounge, we sit down with Garrett Garfield, a transplanted Texan turned Chilean homebrewer and professional mead maker about the scene in Chile and what challenges he faces.
And after we tackle a few listener questions, Drew will leave you thunderstruck with his something other than beer.

Episode 55 – Hitting the Books with Cellador Dec 06, 2017

On this week's episode, we correct things we got wrong, sit down and look at some different responses to the whole beer name and respect issue, talk about how an early San Francisco craft brewer is coming back and why their move feels similar to Widmer's recent moves and explore the idea of Black Friday Counter Programming the Goose Island Bourbon County Frenzy. We stop by the library to get Drew's recommendations on books for brewers and why Denny doesn't have time to read anymore. In the brewery, Drew talks about a stubborn brewery imperfection that he's got to solve and Lallemand's new dried “New England IPA” yeast. Then we sit down in the lounge with Kevin Osborne of Cellador Ales to talk about running a fermentorium, his giant next door neighbor, how he looks to build sour flavors and hold onto house cultures.
And then of course we answer some questions and Denny goes back to basics before Drew leaves you a new podcast exploring old crime.

Brew Files – Episode 23 – Traditional Traditions with Jeff Nov 15, 2017

The Brew is Out There!
PROCESS SHOW
Drew sits down with Jeff Alworth, writer of the Beervana blog and podcast and the recent The Secrets of Master Brewers to talk what lessons Jeff discovered while touring a bunch of different brewing cultures. Together they explore the notion of national brewing identities and why many factors, including the Cold War, make the beers of Bohemia radically different from the beers of neighboring Bavaria. Also, does the US have a “brewing identity”?

Episode 53 – In the Barrel with the Bills Nov 08, 2017

On this week's episode, we sit down and look at the world of trademarks and lawsuits involving some of the biggest and smallest breweries, pay to play in the barroom and the most British pub story, ever. Then we dive into a wonderful presentation from lambic master Frank Boon and the BA's newly announced hop breeding program before Drew sits down with “Doctor” Bill Sysak and Bill Sobeiski at the newly (30 days is new right?) opened Wild Barrel Brewing of San Marcos. Find out their long beer history and how they moved from Stone to a place of their own. And then of course, we hammer out some questions – including what do you think – should you be required to create your own recipe for competition? Then a quick tip and a super something other to get you set for your week.

We'll talk transcripts, O2 in hops, the BA's second phase of Craft Beer independence, the beery witchy connection and a bunch of interesting brewing developments before we sit down and talk hops, hops and more hops with Bryan Pierce of YCH Hops about where the hop industry is going, how great this year's harvest was and what's new and exciting in the hoppy world (and what happens if IPA's stop being the thing).

Episode 51 – Far Out in Fargo Oct 11, 2017

Once more it's feedback – this time on the safety of canned starters and our cider episode. Denny gets his mushroom correction on. We stop by the pub to talk a whole bunch of beer news, including GABF breweries, more water canning, how a Ninkasi winner got his brewing shut down and how one restaurant stepped in to save a whole bunch of breweries from losing their kegs. In the brewery, Drew walks through a little math and a spreadsheet for brewing that he uses. In the lab we revisit the keg purge experiment with a couple of listeners feedback. In the Lounge, Drew sits down last year with John Wilkinson, the organizer of the Prarie Homebrewing Companions' Hoppy Halloween Competition and would you look at that – entries are open for this years comp! Then we hit a few questions , a quick tip, and we remember Tom Petty because seriously.

Brew Files – Episode 20 – Winning Feats of Strength Oct 04, 2017

The Brew Is Out There!
On this week's episode of the Brew Files, we sit down in the pre-GABF mayhem to talk Pro-Am Competitions with Oleg Shpyrko, winner of the 2017 Romancing the Beer Competition, and Shaun Smith of Camarillo's Institution Ale Company about why Pro-Am's are a thing and what it takes to transform a potent homebrew (a 9.3% abv Imperial Stout with Cocoa, Peppers and Vanilla) into a commercial brew.

Episode 50 – Purge Your Beer of Boring Malt Sep 27, 2017

Once more it's feedback – this time some tacos and some Q&A feedback. Do you want to help us transcribe some Q&A? – email us! (podcast@experimentalbrew.com) We stop by the pub to talk the dangers of yeast and clean beer lines and what radical move CAMRA might need to take in the new beer world. In the lab we drop the results of our first Keg Purge experiment – does purging your kegs of homebrew make a detectable difference to our tasters? In the Lounge, Denny sits down with craft maltser (and sponsor of the show), Seth Klann of Mecca Grade Estate Malt. They talk Seth's long family connections, the challenges of growing barley and just why would you decide to add the complication of malting on top of it? Find out about liquid nitrogen, barley varieties and the future of craft malt. Then a few questions from the other side of the world, a quick tip, and Denny gets to Oontz'ing.

Episode 49 – Brewing Cerveceros Style Sep 13, 2017

Back to our regularly scheduled programming as we stop by the pub to talk the newly updated Brew Guru App from the AHA, a bit of beer business, including something positive about ABI and a reason Drew is proud of his mom. We jaunt quickly through the library for a funny article about goldfish and a BrewTan B announcement (spoiler: it's coming soon from our sponsor BrewCraft USA!). In the Lounge, Drew sits down with Roberto Hernandez of the Monrovia Homebrew Supply store and Ray Ricky Rivera and Luis Martinez of LA's first Latino focused homebrew club – the SoCal Cerveceros about why having a Latino club is important to the hobby and what their cultural heritage brings to the hobby. Then naturally we swing out with a few questions, drop a quick tip, Drew raves about a new book triology he found and finished between recording and publishing.

The Brew Is Out There!
RECIPE SHOW
On this week's episode of the Brew Files, it's a family adventure on the high seas as Drew sits down and talks to his brother in law, Chris Geisler, and sister, Aimee, both homebrewer. Together they talk about a handful of recipes including a Thai inspired Witbier turned commercial Pale Ale and Aimee's venutres into “good” beer and how she and Drew collaborated on a beer (and disagreed) and how she won a medal for embracing her hoppy side.

Episode 47 – We've Got the Arts in a Bag Aug 16, 2017

We're back at it in our last to go show before the Q&A! (questions@experimentalbrew.com!)
In the feedback section, Drew eats a big ole helping of crow for failing to hold to his stated principles.
In the Pub – we talk about our Wyeast Q3 Private Collection Strains Contest and reveal the three winners and their recipes. Link below for the recipes themselves. Thanks to everyone who entered and our good sponsors at Wyeast! Then it's back to the business of beer with the latest round of acquisitions including Funky Buddha, Anchor and the really interesting combination of New Belgium, Dick Cantwell, Oud Beersel and Magnolia. Are we finally at that same tipping point where over expansion is pinching some brewers like Magnolia and the recently annouced to close Rubicon?
In the lab, we actually invite in a guest as BrewTube's Short Circuited Brewers (Brian Huntley) makes us do a triangle test on the mics. What experimental madness is he up to and can Denny or Drew get it right? You're just going to have to listen to find out!
And then in the lounge, Drew sits down with Devon Randall of Arts District Brewing and talks about leaving LA to become a brewer and coming back to the city and landing in a warehouse formerly run by a crazy man (Crazy Gideon). Devon's making a hell of a spread and you should give it a try.
We race over Q&A because hey – you should be getting us questions for Episode 48!
But we do take a moment to hit a quick tip about exploring your different varieties of specialty ingredients and Drew drops two things in Something Other – a hysterical set of Game of Throne recaps from BlackNerdProblems and the ongoing constantly moving CA Pinkham column “Off the Menu” with awful wonderful stories from the world of restaurants and bars.

Episode 46 – Chilling Out in Chile Aug 02, 2017

It's time to swing way South of the Border and head to Chile with Denny as he attends the 2nd Annual South American Cup in Santiago, but first we look at your canning feedback. In the pub, we sit down with a couple of special beers (and Drew gets to be right!), talk about Ostrich boot based silliness, bootleggers in Peru (Indiana) and what the new model of acquisitions seems to be currently with Lagunitas buying part of Shorts and Brooklyn, 21A and Funkwerks teaming up.
In the library, we take a swing around Dr. Charlie Bamforth's recent speech in Australia about Craft Beer and the things he thinks brewers really need to be focusing on. While in the Brewery we talk about the upcoming Green Hop extravanganza from YCH Hops.
And then in the lounge, we sit back and listen to Denny's memories of his trip to Chile and we even hop in the back of a crowded vehicle shepharding Denny to the foot of the Andes mountains and Tübinger Brewery in the middle of some of the world's premier wine country. While there Denny talks with Charles Flaskamp about the brewery and his beers.
Finally we race over Q&A because hey – you should be getting us questions for Episode 48!
But we do take a moment to hit a quick tip about saving your beer for review and Drew drops two things in Something Other – a podcast about interviewing (The Turnaround with Jesse Thorn) and the return of last year's mention from youtube – the very charming “Alice in Paris”.

Episode 45 – Advocating for Beer Jul 19, 2017

We start with our next charity effort, before we head to the Pub, where we revisit the Brewers Association's Independent Beer Seal and reactions to it, talk about Denny's trip that is currently as we go live stll has him in the air, a brewery open and a close as well.
In the library, Denny explores Scott Janish's recent exploration of trying to make a clear NE IPA, and how you have to pay attention to grain proteins and hop polyphenols.
Over in the brewery, Drew talks his new love – a cranky old style machine for making beer cans at home and just how much he can't wait. (Odd for a guy who hates bottling!)
Then in the Lounge, Drew sits down at Arts District Brewing with recent California transplant, Todd Alström, one of the founders of BeerAdvocate.com. They cover just how the brothers founded a beer review site all the way back in the infancy of the internet (1996), changes he's seen in the industry – including the first Craft Beer bubble and what he thinks of whales, trading and the IPAfication of everything.
We tackle a pair of questions (Hey, Episode 48 is a Q&A – get some questions to us!) We do drop a quick tip to keep cool and Drew goes and explores the soothing sounds of old dogs sleeping

Episode 44 – Pocket Pitching Seals Jul 05, 2017

UPDATE: Sorry, we had a bad render on our Bob interview. If you download again, you should be able to hear Bob now!
We start, as always, with your feedback and recap our successful charity effort, before we head to the Pub, where we reminisce about HomeBrewCon and what we did and enjoyed. We talk about a new seal (no not that one – that's later) and about Russian River's success and planned sale.
In the library, Drew takes a little bit of time to talk about Patrick McGovern, the Indiana Jones of Beer, and his latest book, Ancient Brews.
In the lab, we break down the results of our UnderPitch experiment – what went right and how Drew sorta, kinda goofed part of the whole thing. (Yeah, he's fired). What does happen when the freshest yeast you can get meets wor in two very different quantities?
Then in the Lounge, it's another double dose of interviews – first, live from the Southern California Homebrewers Fest, Drew and Marshall Schott (Brülosophy) interview Joshua Kunkle about his portable pocket randall infuser with a less than work safe name! Then, Denny and Drew sit down with Bob Pease, the CEO of the Brewers Association about the newly introduced “Independent Beer” seal (note – not craft beer seal as Denny states).
We skip over questions this week (Hey, Episode 48 is a Q&A – get some questions to us!) We do drop a quick tip and Drew reminds us why movie trailers can remind you of some awesomely non-family friendly music. (Seriously!)

Brew Files – Episode 13 – Saison's City Cousin with Dave Janssen Jun 28, 2017

The Brew Is Out There!
STYLE SHOW
On this week's episode of the Brew Files, we're going deep with Dave Janssen of Hors Catégorie Brewing as we dig into the city cousin of Saison – Grisette. Just what the heck was it, how did it get it's name and how it ties into the larger realm of beer history. Dave walks you through the info he's discovered over the past few years and why he thinks so many “grisettes” really aren't all that grisettey!

Another year, another Conn appearance at the best homebrew party on the planet – HomeBrewCon! Live from the Expo booth of our sponsor BrewCraftUSA, we sit down and visit with a number of folks and vendors you know and talk to them about where they see the homebrew world going. We announce our new Wyeast Contest – Get your recipes in! We have a visit from a homebrewer Cory, who brewed a beer that's the perfect synthesis of Denny and Drew – shudder at the thought of their beery love child! We even have a visit from Mr. Water – Martin Brungard – on the importance and ease of water controls. And we closed out with a visit from our friends at BrewCraftUSA and their new toys including some primo wine kits from Mosti Mondiale.

Episode 42 – Hopping and Festing With Nick Jun 07, 2017

Hey, guess what – it's our first repeat guest! (We think – who can keep track?)
But first, an announcement:
Homebrew Con (15-17)
14th – 6:00 PM Trivia at Chop & Bru Party – See ChopandBrew.com for ticket details
15th – Hold My Beer and Watch Me Science
16th – Panel: Building a Great Homebrew Club / Craftmeister / Book Signing / Podcast at BrewCraftUSA Booth
17th – Denny Rests, Maybe
In the feedback, we take a moment to re-visit some questions about Bio-Transformation and address some very pointed criticism about our Brew-Tan experiment.
In the pub, we enjoy a pint or two we raise a pint to Peter Simpson, talk a big beer slide, how to avoid selling out to the IPA-borg and a Chinese Bud Bust.
Inspired by the MBAA Master Brewers podcast, we stop by the library and look at Barth-Haas's latest dissection of hop flavor and aroma as spurred by all these fancy new hops we have at hand.
We stop in the brewery to review Drew's reviews of several malts, including those from our sponsor, Mecca Grade Estate. Which malt will reign supreme?
Then in the Lounge, it's a double dose of interviews – first, live from the Southern California Homebrewers Fest, Drew and Marshall Schott (Brülosophy) interview Kevin Baranowski about his attempt to wake everyone up at the Fest with a Sweet Stout served through a Randall stuffed with Bourbon soaked coffee beans. Then, with podcast magic, we blink our eyes and suddenly Drew swings up to the Bay Area and catches up with Nick Impellitteri about what's happening with the Yeast Bay.
Finally we tackle questions we can answer. Drop a quick tip from a listener and inspired by our last Brew Files episode and Denny talks about his newest PBS obsession!

Episode 41 – Earthbound and Down May 24, 2017

We're loaded up and trucking right through your feedback.
In the pub, we enjoy a pint or two while looking back at a big retirement, talking some new guidelines and wondering maybe we've been looking at the whole “bubble” thing wrongly.
We stop in the brewery to look at Sierra Nevada's Ruthless Rye recipe and why Denny gave them a bunch of guff for it when they were making it. (Plus Drew's weird feelings about late additions of Magnum)
Then in the Lounge, Denny talks to Rebecca Schranz – the Queen of Getting Shit Done- at St. Louis's Earthbound Beer about expansion, taking over an old brewery space and what happens when you find a hand to god Bat Cave in your cellar.
Finally we tackle questions we can answer. Drop a quick tip on ya and Drew reveals he's deeply weird about notebooks.

Brew Files – Episode 10 – Getting Hazy with Ed May 17, 2017

The Brew Is Out There!
STYLE SHOW
On this week's episode of the Brew Files, we're exploring the controversial style of the moment – New England IPA. And since Denny spits nails about anything “hazy” and “juicy”, Drew's bringing in Ed Coffey of “Ale of the Riverwards” to talk the style he's been brewing since before he knew it was a style. Together they talk about the ingredients, the hops, the flavors and of course the haze and it's meaning.

Episode 40 – The Quality of Transformation May 10, 2017

New opening to the show this time through. Let's see how you like it (let us know!)
In the pub, we stop by and take about brewery charities and one in particular for Denny's area. We talk about one previous guest's new “kid” rules and the response, before we tackle the big Wicked news of the week and the really insidious piece that virtually no one is talking about behind the scenes.
We stop in the brewery to talk the latest malt report from our good friend Teri Fahrendorf and Denny reminices about the good old cow and hog reports of his youth.
In the lab, we announce our latest experiment – the IGORs are taking a stab at the Brulosophy gang's Biotransformation ale – aka can you tell a difference between a beer dry hopped at high krausen and one dry hopped in secondary. Of course, we're adding an extra special twist to the whole thing because we're required to by law. Twist one, testing two different strains with some IGORs pulling out Wyeast 1318 and some pulling Wyeast 1056. Twist two – we're going to have some visually blind trials vs visual trials. Woo…
Then in the Lounge, Denny talks to Jessica Davis of the Bruery about what it means to do QA work for a brewery with as many on going projects as they have. It's seriously interesting to learn what it means to work in the beer world and be tasked with keeping an eye on things
Finally we tackle questions we can answer. Drop a quick tip on ya and explore just why Drew wants to subject one of his chihuahuas to dangerous acrobatics.

Episode 39 – Tanning in St. Somewhere Apr 26, 2017

In the pub we congratulate our new members of the Governing Committee; explore what we think of the Brewer's Association recent announcement regarding sexist beer names and celebrate the sort of beery fool hardiness that lead one “intrepid” soul to attempt a beer half-marathon.
In the lab, we take a piece of feedback from a listener about what we did wrong with our BrewTan announcement and then, like a dog with a bone to worry, we decide to revist the results thanks to some new IGOR reports and watch how the numbers change. We'll discuss new directions that we want to explore as well.
Then in the Lounge we visit one of Drew's favorite brewers – Bob Sylvester of St. Somewhere Brewing in Tarpon Springs, FL. Learn just why we have a photo of a pump and a skateboard in the show notes and just how Bob produces “Florida terrior” and what measures he took to preserve it when the brewery moved.
Finally we tackle questions we can answer. Drop a quick tip on ya and explore Drew's new found home companion

We do the feedback circuit, including a visit to the Correctional Department of Corrections, and then hit the pub for our recollections of Session Beer Day, some of our favorite April Fool's pranks from brewers (including one that wasn't actually a prank) and the upcoming Big Brew
In the lab, we finally have our results in from our BrewTan B experiment that we started last year. What do the guys make of the results and we talk with Joe Formanek of Anjinomoto about what they mean.
Then in the Lounge we actually visit a question that came in from a listener about her challenges making truly gluten free beer. Since neither of us are gluten free experts, we rope in an actual expert – James Neumeister of Portland's Ground Breaker Brewery, a gluten free brewery.
Finally we tackle questions we can answer. Drop a quick tip on ya and explore one reason Drew would have something positive to say about the New York Yankees. (No, hell has not frozen over and yes, it involves dogs.)

Brew Files – Episode 7 – Extract with Jay Apr 05, 2017

The Brew Is Out There!
INGREDIENT SHOW
On this week's episode of the Brew Files, Drew and Denny hit the phones with Jay Ankeney, a long time homebrewer in Los Angeles who's been brewing longer than most of us. And interestingly – Jay still brews with extract and grains. Why does he still brew with extract? What are some of his tips and tricks and what does he do that either agrees or disagrees with prevailing wisdom. Well, you're going to have to listen!

Episode 36 – Sticky Hands, Stickier Questions Mar 15, 2017

To start the show, we hit the feedback slush pile, including a voicemail feedback about the Walmart lawsuit.
In the pub, it's a little different today as we sit down with Nick Arzner of Block 15 to drink one of Denny's favorite beers – Sticky Hands IPA. We discuss the origins of the beer and the secrets behind the powerful hop character the beer carries (pro tip – new fancy hop powders)
From there – it's Question time and once again y'all provided so many questions- we're splitting it up! Today we cover Malts, Mashing, Hops and Yeast!
Next episode – even more Questions along with your brewing disasters!

Episode 35 – The Mead Is In Session Mar 01, 2017

We start with a round of feedback including a question about a potentially new style guideline and a reflection on one listener's experiment in making Cool Ranch Beer!

In the pub, rumblings are a foot about the Return of the Wrath of Conn at this year's HomeBrewCon in Minneapolis. We tackle the problematic notion of “fake craft” beer and All About Beer's newly announced policy on sexist beer names.

Over in the library, a brief look at one of Drew's favorite malts – Maris Otter

And in the lounge it's a twofer as we talk again with over favorite Lew – Lew Bryson about 2017's Session Beer Day (April 7th). We encourage you to get ready for it by brewing up a batch of something “small”. And then we leave the land of the small and head back to Fargo where Drew sits down with our good friend and long time BJCP/AHA leader, Susan Ruud, at her meadery – Prarie Rose.

Quick tip comes with video evidence this time – careful when you're degassing folks! And Denny closes us out with a PBS show all about music.

Episode 33 – The Bitter Truth Feb 01, 2017

In the feedback we take a moment to not only reflect on the launch of the Brew Files, but to also remind folks about the difference between companies and people particularly when the snark is flying in podcast land.
We donated $688 to the Children's Tumor Foundation in the name of the listeners. Thanks to Robert Allaway for the suggestion. Reminder our charity is now the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society. Let's try and raise enough funds via Patreon to hit a cool thousand by July!
Episode 36 is an all Q&A episode – so get your questions in at questions@experimentalbrew.com (or call us at 626-765-1ALE)
In the pub, we talk Sierra Nevada's Beer Recall from North Carolina and how Firestone Walker is switching to smaller bottles for their “special” beers Hey whatever happened to the nip?
In the library, Denny covers a timely article from Scott Janish looking at the impact of dry hopping on final beer bitterness
In the lab, we get our IGOR on and try to better understand the results that we saw in our IBU experiment. Why were some of the IGORs dead on and others way low? We talk to five IGORs about their brew day experiences and try and see is there a common culprit? Saw Hi to Kevin Kolk, Dave Matson, Ben Myton, Mike O'Toole and Jeremy Wickham.
Lastly, we swing through a super quick suggestion of a not so super quick podcast. They just dropped a six hour episode!

The Brew Is Out There!
STYLE SHOW
This episode we give Denny's voice a rest as Drew explores one of his favorite beers to absolutely crush. (Yes, we know the irony of just talking about crushable on the other show, but if any beer style is crushable in a way that leaves you feeling respectable – it's cream ale). So sit back and let Drew tell you the story of Cream Ale – an American Original!

Brew Files – Episode 1 – BVIP and Springtime in Amarillo Jan 11, 2017

The Brew Is Out There!
What's this? What's this? It's a new show from us! The Brew Files is our quick hit (~30 minutes) show dedicated to a specific brewing topic. No news, new extraneous guffawing and jawing – one topic, all beer, let's do this. Every week will tackle particular recipes, styles, techniques or ingredients.
RECIPE DESIGN SHOW
For our inaugural episode, we each break down one of our favorite recipes and explore the why's, wherefores and how's of each. Where did they come from? What have they become and what did we learn when we made them.
Denny tackles one recipe everyone knows him for – the much beloved Denny's Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter. Why did he first make the recipe? Why does he skip the oak and go straight for the whiskey?
Drew walks everyone through his hybrid American Saison – Springtime in Amarillo. Learn what beer gave birth to the recipe and what twists and changes it's gone through over time and how often it still shows up in the brew schedule.

Episode 31 – Brew Years Resolutions Jan 04, 2017

Happy New Beer!
In the feedback we talk over a few things, like our missed quick tip last week and what does it mean when a beer is truly awesome.
On a quick personal note from Drew – thanks for your kind words about Cookie. Thanks to your feedback, we're announcing that our charity for the first half of 2017 will be the shelter where I rescued Cookie 6 years ago – the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society. Let's try and raise enough funds via Patreon to hit a cool thousand by July!
Then we hear from you, our listeners, about your Brew Year's Resolutions. What's everyone going to accomplish in 2017?
In the pub, we quickly hit the classroom for a little AI brewing and Sierra Nevada's big contribution to beer science.
In the library, we visit with Lars to talk about his latest research of Norway's brewing practices.
In the lab, we take a moment to drop some results for a quick test of people's judging abilities.
In the lounge, we visit with Chuck Macaluso, a Portland homebrewer of recent reknown. We're sitting in the Hair of the Dog Tasting room, so be warned, the audio is a little “lively”.
We tackle more of your questions in our Q&A segment and then Denny quickly tips with a note about id'ing your carboys before we close out with Drew's recent comic book finds (and of course Sherlock is back)

Episode 28 – Uncommonly Common Nov 23, 2016

On this pre-Turkey Day here in the US, we found ourselves back in Portland in this episode and we're at a brewery right up Drew's alley!
We start in the pub with a brief discussion of what fine beers we'll be supping on while we're stuffing ourselves silly. We also look at some charity from No-Li Brewing, a rather “innovative” beer addition to the Not Your Father's lineup and Mike Tonsmeire's Kveik experiments.
In the brewery, we examine the speciality malt market and what it means for the tide of craft beer styles from a global perspective and Drew talks about revisiting one of his favorite projects from the past with White Labs Zurich Lager strain.
In the lounge, we visit with Sean Burke at Common's Brewing where we explore their farmhouse centric approach and how they grew into a beautiful space with strange equipment.
For a quick tip, we share a brief note on using Hop Extracts efficiently and cleanly. (And what not to do with them!)
We tackle more of your questions in our Q&A segment before closing you out with two of Drew's latest finds – HBO's Westworld and a Beastie Boys / Daft Punk Mashup that is pretty damn awesome.

Episode 27 – One Year of Silliness Nov 09, 2016

Has it really been one year? Yup – The first episode of Experimental Brewing appeared on November 11th of 2015. The tricky part is we taped that first show at least three times. We wanted to get it right as possible coming out of the gate. We're still not there yet, but with your help, we can do it! Take our survey, leave us a review on iTunes,etc.
But first, in this episode we revist some of our favorite pieces of the first year of Experimental Brewing. We talk briefly at the pub about some recent news and happenings and then straight into the dream sequences as we revisit the world of data outliers, talk to Lew Bryson about Session Beers, Denny and Drew getting their learning on, talk weird beers with Russell Everett, Saisons, prove we can't taste anything with Marshall at HomebrewCon and close out with less than laconic Rodger Davis of Faction Brewing. We think we even got all the beeps in place for him this time!

Episode 26 – New England Righteousness Oct 26, 2016

One full year of Experimental Brewing is in the books! (So much editing, so much umm and ahhs)
But that’s beside the point – on with the show! We tackle some user feedback around Drew’s keg purging methods and Denny’s feelings on Nugget hops. And then it’s into the pub where we tackle the big news about ABI’s acquisition of Northern Brewer/Midwest. We’re puzzled – are you puzzled? Join us in being puzzled! Drew talks about his experience with Cask Marque and finding righteous beer bargains.
In the brewery, we talk about the beauty and performance of JaDeD Brewing’s chillers. Seriously, these things are great.
In the library, a little comedy courtesy of McSweeney’s from a listener and a new podcast from the Master Brewers Association of America for your actual knowledge.
In the lab, we discuss the results of our first New England IPA experiment – Wyeast 1056 vs. Wyeast 1318. Can tasters taste a difference? What about the haze? The Hop character? Where do we go from here.
And it’s a twofer in the lounge as we just finished a quick trip to the Portland/Vancouver area to talk at our sponsor Brewcraft USA’s RetailerCon. So we started our trip by talking with the folks at FH Steinbarts about their shop and their community’s recent speakeasy loss. And then we get into a Pineapple Kolsch with Larry Clousner, great friend of the show and partner at Pono Brewing.
We close out the show with Drew’s recent reading about some of the deep seated organized crime and corruption of LA in the 1920’s and 30’s with “A Bright and Guilty Place” by Richard Rayner.

Episode 25 – BrewTan Your Questions Away Oct 12, 2016

Second half of the Q&A episode is now ready for your listening and “learning” pleasure!
But first, before we dive into your questions, we're back with your feedback from the first Q&A episode and some Barley Crop Reports that we've cribbed from our friend Teri Fahrendorf and Denny reports on his eggs, because they're expensive!
Then we grabbed a chance to talk with multiple (no, really, multiple) award-winning homebrewer Joe Formanek. Normally we'd subject Joe to the whole twenty questions routine because seriously the man's impressive, but you can go read his profile in Homebrew All-Stars until we get back to that. Why the wait? Because Joe has an interesting new brewing product that he's helping spread the word on – Brewtan B. What is Brewtan B? Well, listen to the episode and find out.
Speaking of finding out – we're happy to announce our next experiment – this one is completely focused on figuring out if Brewtan B does what it says on the tin. (And in that spirit we're giving our IGORs some time to have some fun as well)
Then we get into your questions. For convenience's sake we've divided the questions into general topic categories. This episode we tackle Packaging and Philosophy Questions. We even have more “live” callers!

Episode 24 – We Answer Many Of Your Questions Sep 28, 2016

You know how we said we were getting back to our “usual” format? Ha! Today we blow it up again because y'all sent in so many great questions. So many in fact, that we've split the Q&A into two episodes.
But first, before we dive into your questions, Denny grabbed a seat on a bus next to Gary Glass, Director of the American Homebrewer's Association to talk about the AHA's new phone app – Brew Guru – and why you want to put it on your magical sci-fi pocket computer.
Then we get into your questions. For convenience's sake we've divided the questions into general topic categories. This episode we tackle Fermentation, Ingredients and the Mash. And hey, we even have our first “live” caller! Aren't we fancy?
Don't forget to come back for Episode 25 when we tackle even more questions (plus some other cool content!)

Episode 23 – The Great Hop Whirlpool of Bainbridge Sep 14, 2016

Busy Episode this time! Crammed with like – additional feedback to last episode's Staling results. Seems like some of you have been using scary old grain! In the pub we stop and talk a while about Denny's Hop School experiences (more on those later), the law in California and the crushing “loss” of Bosteels Brewery to ABI. (Maybe they should be Boo-steels now?) and one brewery's response to the recent PR campaign to try and make everyone feel better about the buyouts.
We swing by the brewery to talk about Drew's recent Saison yeast tasting – which you can find online. In the library we visit a couple of papers on yeast genetics.
In the lab, we're happy to announce our next great experiment – brought to you by our sponsors, the American Homebrewer's Association and NikoBrew.com. We're going to get a whole squad of homebrewers making up some hoppy beers and having them analyzed and tasted! See the recipe and experiment writeup for details. We're super stoked for this!
Then Denny goes and talks to the folks out of Whirlpool's W Labs about their soon to launch all in one fermenter, fridge, kegerator – the Vessi. Then he heads off to the posh environs of Bainbridge Island WA to talk with Russell Everett of Bainbridge Brewing. Listen and find out what stout and noodles have to do with each other.
Then in Something Other Than Beer – we lament 2016's continuing losses – this time with Gene Wilder. Then Drew shares Sia's new video for “The Greatest” which is a bit of a gut punch. Lastly, to leave on a happy note – Drew also mentions Comixology for all your comic enjoyment.
Finally Denny drops a tip about how best to dry your hops. The key – a little bit of heat, but not too much if you want to preserve all the good oils!

Episode 22 – Anything But Stale in Wisconsin Aug 31, 2016

This episode we talk about two of our favorite online communities and their upcoming distributed competitions. We stop in the pub to talk updates to the North Carolina Legal Situation and a new homebrew rights situation in Nebraska. (See why it's important we keep fighting the legal fight?) Denny previews the upcoming Hop School and Drew talks about visiting Boulder CO and the AHA/BA offices. In the Brewery, we talk about the impending pumpkin crisis – ok, crisis to some and Drew's visit to Hop Barley and the Alers and their annual auction.
We revisit our Staling experiment – can you brew with pre-crushed malt that's been sitting for a month? We review the results and discuss other possible avenues of exploration. After that Denny's back in Milwaukee talking with James Beard winning chef Justin Aprahamian of Sanford Restaurant in Milwaukee, Like Minds Brewing in Chicago and the new brewpub back in Milwaukee. Denny delves into the world of fine food and fine beer. Find out why Like Minds originally opened in Chicago and how they came back home.
Then in Something Other Than Beer – Drew drops a Youtube show that really is a charming, whimisical love letter to Paris. And staying with Youtube – Drew's quick tip – well, it's not so quick but it's the video of his talk Brewing on the Ones from the National Homebrewers Conference.

Episode 21 – The Myth of Mino Aug 17, 2016

This episode we talk about two of our favorite online communities and their upcoming distributed competitions. We stop in the pub to do a little talk about mashing obsessions and the law and homebrewing. We head to the library to talk about Scott Janish's article on DMS, causes and cures and his test. Denny and I talk about his favorite homebrew myths before he heads to the land by the waters – Milwaukee – where he talks to Mino Choi, a homebrewer with a culinary obsession and a couple of 50 point entries under his belt. Mino talks his process, his designing and some agressive techniques he uses to drive his fermentations.
We come back to our “Something Other Than Beer” segment with Denny enjoying spending time with Cecilia Chiang, the Chinese cuisine equivalent to Julia Child and we close out with Drew circling back to a lesson from earlier in the show!

Episode 20 – Ferment, Drink, Sellout, Repeat Aug 03, 2016

This episode we start getting back to our regular podcast format (ok, mostly), but we start in the pub where we talk the massive changes in the beer industry last week because this time they’re near and dear to Denny’s heart. From there we go off to the lounge with an interview at San Francisco’s Ferment Drink Repeat (who for the record are not sellouts – they’re awesome). What sorta crazy person creates a homebrew shop and brewery? Well, listen and find out!
After the lounge, it’s time for a Q&A where we tackle brewers questions about Saison, getting their Red on, style guidelines and why sometimes brewers can be dicks. We come back to our “Something Other Than Beer” segment with Netflix inducing massive nostalgia in Drew and we close out with a tip from a South African listener about how to deal with the whole multiple keg carbonation issue.

Episode 19 – Brew Like An AllStar Jul 20, 2016

This episode starts with a brief stop at the brewery where we walk you through some of the newest things we're playing with! (Like Drew's new mill – review on the site)
Then we ask – What happens when you get a whole bunch of brewers together and have them open up their breweries? Well, if they belong to the Falcons then it becomes their annual event “Brew with a Falcon”. Denny tests out our spiffy phone interface and calls five brewers in the Los Angeles area as they're brewing. At least one of them will be familiar to you! See what sort of crazy beer is being made!
Then it's time for our last turn around the block in Charm City as we present our HomeBrewCon presentation – “How To Brew Like An All-Star”. The audio is courtesy of the American Homebrewer's Association. Did you know that all members of the AHA get free access to audio recordings and slide decks from all of the Con's presentations? To join the AHA just click on the AHA logo on our homepage! Support the podcast and the group that fights for your rights as a homebrewer!

Episode 18 – Saison Under Pressure Jul 06, 2016

Attention, attention… this episode is brought to you by an accidentally awesome quirk of fate. After we announced our experiment (Saison Yeast – Airlock vs. Open Ferment – Does it prevent “stall”) way back when, our itinerant “Science” co-host Marshall Schott let us know that his site, Brulosophy.com was running the same experiment!
We waited and coordinated our experimental results release. Marshall released his results earlier this week and now we get together and discuss our results plus his. There are a total of five experimental runs here and what do they say? Well, put yer earbuds in and listen! (And if you think this is the last time we're doing this.. ha, you don't know how all this works! Maybe we'll do it on purpose next time!)
From our time in the Casa Verde labs, we move back to Baltimore and spend some time with the Free State Homebrew Club Guild at HomeBrewCon's “Craft Beer Kickoff” Party. We had a heck of a time with the various club members and we hope you learn a thing or two! (Plus, hey – why do you homebrew?) So come along with as we talk to a raft of clubs and a beer “celeb” or two!

Episode 17 – The Wrath of Conn Jun 22, 2016

First time ever! Denny and Drew and a thousand of their favorite friends are in the same room – the Expo hall at the 2016 American Homebrewer's Association “HomebrewCon”. We sat down in the BrewcraftUSA booth and talked with a bunch of different folks including some of our sponsors and some of our very favorite people – including IGOR Nicki Forster who brought us a beer to taste, Marshall Schott who abused us with a triangle test and another listener, Keith Baker, who dropped a beer on Denny to make him crazy! This episode is jammed packed with questions, answers, and really interesting people so give it a listen! (Also this is your last chance to drop some money on the pooches before we get to our next charity!)
Also, a big thanks to listener Chris Nelson for our wonderful “Wrath of Conn” poster that you see on the site.

Episode 16 – Lucky Transplants Jun 08, 2016

It's HomebrewCon Week! As this episode goes live we're at the hotel in Baltimore getting ready to rock out with some homebrew! So this episode is going to be a real “quick” one (for us).
In feedback Denny talks about a great response he got from Spain and then Drew has to issue a correction from the Correctional Department of Corrections about a misstate he had about yeast strains.
In the pub, we talk our “plans” for Homebrew Con in Baltimore in June – a live Q&A, a Troubleshooters Corner, Book Signings and more! Denny recounts his experience with the first “Zymurgy Live” put on by the AHA featuring Stan Hieronymus. Then Drew talks a bit about what might be a trend for the furutue of brewers pulling back from distribution.
For the interview segment in the lounge, Drew interviewed two breweries located a mere 500 ft from each other physically but a world apart in terms of brewing philosophy. Our victims this week are the fine folks of Transplants Brewing and Lucky Lukes Brewing in Lancaster CA – about as far on the edge of Los Angeles as you can get. One is all about the whacky, the culinary, the mad while the other is more traditional with classic beer style approaches. Drew talks to them about their experiences as brewers and how it works to have such proximity to your fellow brewers.
Lastly, Drew offers a tumblr account that explores the nerdy obsession of mashups.

Episode 15 – All About the New England IPA May 25, 2016

As we get ready to head to the NHC, our schedules get a little screwy (we have one more episode before the Wrath of Conn Con)
In feedback we hear about some fun experiences and a nice gesture on the part of a listener. Also we hear from others about Denny and Marshall's recent commentary about skipping over aeration/oxygenation
In the pub, we talk our “plans” for Homebrew Con in Baltimore in June – a live Q&A, a Troubleshooters Corner, Book Signings and more! The Brewers Association gets their history on with one of America's great institutions – The Smithsonian. Denny talks his overwhelming experience at the Craft Brewers Conference. And lastly we ask “Has Craft Beer Gone Too Far?”
In the library we discuss a great article from the Counter Brew website that does a really excellent job laying in the ground work for your knowledge about Brett.
At the lab where we talk the recent obsession with the hazy style called “New England IPA”. Specifically we cover the history and the theories behind the style and the infamous, hotly debated murk. And so we're going to launch a full series of explorations, because of course we will. For this first time, we're going to look at yeast impact – namely Wyeast 1056 and Wyeast 1318 in the same wort. Is one murk-tastic? And to back it up, listener Jason Faylor sent in a pair of beers with exactly this same premise so we get our tasting on (and prove that Denny and Drew can really disagree about things)
For the interview segment, we grab some time with John Holl – editor of All About Beer Magazine. We offer him a chance to lay down his opinions and his colorful New Jersey beliefs. It's an interview that exercised Denny's bleeping finger. We think we got them all!
After that, we're off to the books as we try and answer more listener questions.
Denny reminds us all to test your thermometers!
Lastly, Drew fondly explores the world of CorgiOrgy.com and some incredibly sexy Russian cakes.

Episode 14 – Season of the Bruce May 11, 2016

Another episode and a new feature! Read on!
In feedback we hear more about people's weight loss journies. Could we be on the way to skinny brewers? Also a listener chimes in to let us know that he won serious medalage with Drew's Peanut Butter Jelly Time recipe.
In the pub, we talk our “plans” for Homebrew Con in Baltimore in June – a live Q&A, a Troubleshooters Corner, Book Signings and more! We talk about the 500th Anniversary of the Rheinheitsge-whatever and we revisit the Moonlight vs. Moonlight Trademark fight.
In the library we discuss Scott Janish's great article about how dry hopping adds bitterness, just not the way you think it does!
At the lab where we talk the next experiment you can join in on – Saison Yeast and the dreaded “stall”. Drew's advocated a simple change – open fermentation – to avoid the nasty tendency that WLP 565 and Wyeast 3724 have to start strong, take a two week nap and then finish the job. Is he right? Let's see!
We launch a new variety of interviews that we're tentatively calling “Unknown All-Stars” where we interview brewers that you may not have heard of, but that we think you should. For our first crack, we're talking with one of Drew's brewing mentors – Bruce Brode. A long time brewer, ex-President of the Maltose Falcons and one of the shaping forces of the BJCP Guidelines. You'll really want to hear all the knowledge Bruce can drop.
After that, we're off to the books as we try and answer more listener questions.
Lastly, the guys talk a bit about Prince (boo) and Drew's most recent YouTube obsession.

Episode 13 – Olive Oil and Black Man Apr 27, 2016

Another episode and this time we're here with Olive Oil results!
In the pub, we talk our “plans” for Homebrew Con in Baltimore in June – a live Q&A, a Troubleshooters Corner, Book Signings and more! We talk some gluten free barley, a new name for an old country and why some trademark fights make us sad.
A new room is added to the house as we sit down in the library to discuss the imminent release of Homebrew All-Stars!
Then to the lab where Marshall joins the guys as they discuss the IGOR's results of their Olive Oil vs. No Aeration efforts. Can you use Olive Oil to cheaply replace aeration?
We go to Dallas where Drew talks with Barrett Tillman of both Black Man Yeast and Deep Ellum Brewing Company about his experiences as a brewer, his love of all things sour and funky and why he decided to start a mini-yeast company.
After that, we're off to the books as we try and answer more listener questions.
Drew adds a quick tip about immersion circulators and brewing
Lastly, the guys hit the kitchen as Denny offers some sourdough advice and Drew deals with a bunch of nut sacks.

Episode 12 – Going Stale Apr 13, 2016

It's Episode 12 and we're announcing our next experiment amongst other things! We start with listener feedback – everyone was intrigued by and puzzled by the results of our First Wort Hop experiment. So were we!
At the pub, we talk about how the results of the GC election with lots of teasing that's not meant to be taken seriously! We announce that we have “plans” for Homebrew Con in Baltimore in June. Denny gets to rant and rave at the moon with his latest pet peeve and Drew shares an awesome example of how sometimes the customer isn't right at all.
We make a quick stop in the brewery to talk about getting your beer can on
Then to the lab where we dig into every homebrewer's experience. You go to the homebrew shop full of good intentions, buy some grain and mill it. Then you can't brew for a month or two – is your grain still good? Oh bother – guess we'll find out, won't we?
We go to the Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference where Denny interviews Annie Johnson – one of our favorite brewers. Not only has she won two amazing brewing achievements – AHA Homebrewer of the Year and Pilsner Urquell's Masterhomebrewer, but she manages to keep a playful side to her brewing. Listen and learn! (Including her secret obsession)
After Annie, we hit the books for a couple of questions, including one that really made us do some research to avoid our knee jerk “are you kidding us?” reaction. That was awesome!
Denny drops his quick tip about being a yeast abuser.
And then Denny talks about his soon to be assembled chicken coop and the artisans behind it. Drew then drops two things – Billy Dee is back as Colt 45's spokesman and Sweden has a phone number. Yup, Sweden. It's awesome.

NOTE: In the Q&A segment, when we answer a question abpout hop degradation, I mention that YCH Hops now prints the HSI (Hop Storage Index) on the bags of hops homebrewers buy. Here's how you can use that….HSI shows you the alpha acid loss in the hops over 6 months at a 68F storage temperature. As an example of how it works, let's say you have some hops that start at 10% AA and have an HSI of .250. That means that in 6 months of storage at 68F, the AA% will drop to 7.5%. But since we all know that degradation of hops also depends on temperature, if those hops are stored at 28F, the AA is 9.0%. In effect, each 10F drop in strage temp equates to about .5% AA increase. There's more to it than this, though, and in the future we hope to have someone from YCH on to talk about HSI.

Episode 11 – First Hops Then Rodney Mar 30, 2016

It's Episode 11 and experimental results are back! We start with listener feedback – namely, y'all really loved the Session Beer Recipe collection and the Q&A episode. Looks like we're going to have to keep answering questions!
At the pub, we talk about how hops are being explored as actual medicine and why sadly this doesn't mean your Quadruple IPA is about to become “healthy”, how our sponsor PicoBrew went to 11 for Denny and discuss why we feel that bars and breweries should offer samplers (and why the money crunchers back us up on this assertion).
Then to the lab where we comb through the results of Denny's favorite experiment – First Wort Hopping vs. 60 minute bittering. First though we start with listener Tim Hagan's fairly clear explanation of the meaning of P-Value. We also talk about why some folks are encouraging a move away from P-Value as the end all be all of science. And then we dig into the experiment! What new and interesting twists did our IGORs find this time? Is there an actual impact here or are we living in a land of make believe?
We go to the Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference where Denny interviews Rodney Kibzey, multiple award winning brewer – no seriously, the man won the Sam Adams Longshot Competition twice. Rodney talks up his “secrets” for winning. So you might want to listen to the man.
Denny drops another quick tip from our AHA Forum friends – Don't Get Caught Up With The Shiny Gear!
Drew then leaves us with two something other than beers – Falcons nesting at Briess and then, because you, the listeners, asked Drew talks about how he lost 112 lbs in 13 months and still drank beer.

Episode 10 – You've Got Questions, We've got “Answers” Mar 16, 2016

It's Episode 10 and it's finally time to see if we're as smart as we say we are. We discuss the listener response to our Session Beer efforts and promise to post a kickass list of session beer recipes. (Link below) We run off to the pub and discuss the recently concluded Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference and the lameness of “pink washing” and silly sexism. And then to the lecture hall where “Professors” Denny and Drew sit down and try and see how long they can fake actually knowing anything. For listener ease we've broken the questions up into categories so you can find things more easily. OVer the course of twenty some odd questions we tackle questions about ingredients, process, styles, yeast and everything else. Before we leave, Drew gives a brief shout out to two very impactful passings that recently occurred. One to the man whose decision in the 70's still impacts us to this day. The other, well, that one's more important to Chihuahua owners. Episode Links:

Episode 9 – Session, Session What's Your Libation Mar 02, 2016

It's Episode 9 – last call for questions before the big Q&A episode! (Send your questions to questions@experimentalbrew.com) We run off to the pub and discuss feedback abut the potential canning crisis, the unbearable BS of science, the now sold out Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference and Hops in Drew's hometown. And then to the lab where the guys launch the next experiment. Is there a detectable difference between adding Olive Oil as an aeration replacement and just not adding any aeration/oxygen at all! We go into the history of the whole Olive Oil excitement and why they think everyone has it a little wrong. With the approach of Session Beer Day – April 7th – we get beer writer extraordinaire and Session Beer Project creator, Lew Bryson on the phone and go through the history of the project, the beer day and what Lew ultimately wants to achieve! We take a brief detour to provide everyone with some homebrew advice so you can have a session beer of your own on tap for Session Day! Denny drops another quick tip from our AHA Forum friends – this time all about the tool box Drew then leaves us with a musical clip for the ages! Episode Links:

Episode 8 – A Southern Whirl Feb 17, 2016

In Episode 8 – Denny and Drew remind listeners about the upcoming Q&A episode. (Send your questions to questions@experimentalbrew.com) They run off to the pub and discuss a potential canning crisis, actual grown up science, the upcoming Pacific Northwest Homebrewers Conference and Denny's run for the Governing Committee. Then they visit a new location for the podcast – the brewery (who woulda guessed) to discuss the availability of the Idaho 7 hop (currently branded 007 The Golden Hop) and Weyermann's Barke Malt. And then to the lab where the guys are joined by Marshall “Brulosophy” Schott, to discuss the results of the Hop Whirlpool Temperature Test. Does it make a difference if you whirlpool your hops at 120F instead of 170F. (In theory, fewer hop oils get volatilized at the lower temp). What was the result? Listen! Once again, hoppy times are brought to you by NikoBrew.com! Back to the Bay Area – no not the San Francisco Bay Area – the Tampa Bay Area where Drew conducts an interview with Brian Fenstermacher at his homebrew store turned nanobrewery – Southern Brewing & Winemaking. Brian has a long history in the craft brewing industry and eventually ended up opening a great homebrew store. Unable to leave the beer world completely behind, he turned the homebrew store into a nano brew with an impressive 24 taps being brewed on a nano-scale. Listen to the interview to discover the incredibly intricate system he's created for his brewers to keep that variety running! Denny and Drew take your questions and lie about all of their answers. Denny drops another quick tip from our AHA Forum friends about creating a quick chilled carbonated sample of your beer to let you speedily evaluate your beer. Marshall then drops in with his love of music on our “Something Non-Beery” segment. Episode Links:

Episode 7 – A New Faction Feb 03, 2016

In Episode 7 – Denny and Drew take a spin through listener reactions to the first experiment results unleashed online and in the podcast. Then it's off to the pub where they discuss the rise of homebrewing around the globe (focused on an article about Indian homebrewers), Denny wields the eraser of correction about the beers he tried from Barrel of Monks and Drew talks up Lew Bryson's Session Beer Day project. And then to the lab where the guys launch the next experiment – all about the First Wort Hop. This time out the crew is set on re-creating Denny's classic experiment that yielded inconclusive results about FWH. Ignore the recipe content in the podcast because the IGORs asked for a recipe change and who are the guys to deny them that? Once again, hoppy times are brought to you by NikoBrew.com! Time to announce the podcast's first charity project – Freedom Service Dogs of America. They're dedicated to rescuing and training shelter dogs to serve as support animals for the disabled, including returning vets. Join the podcast as a Patreon supporter to help rescue some pups! Back to the Bay Area for one last time as the gang returns to Faction Brewing in Alameda and the wide ranging Rodger Davis. We clarify (maybe) Rodger's dry hopping procedure for his infinitely hoppy beers. The guys talk through a bunch of other things like the love/not love of fork lifts, his team – the genesis of the White Stout style (found the culprit!) and his experimental hop series. (WARNING – Rodger is also prolific with his utterances and we're still working out where the line is and whether or not we caught them all – so be careful in this segment with the kids if you don't want them learning some words!) Finally Denny and Drew take your questions. Quick announcement about questions – looks like every 10th episode, the show will become an all (mostly?) Q&A show – so get your questions in and see how long you can make D&D answer questions! Denny takes a tip from Jeff Gladish about blending and Drew recommends a few new choice selections for your reading library (of non-beery things) So, are you guys psyched to get your First Wort Hop on?

Episode 6 – What's Your Faction? Jan 20, 2016

In Episode 6 – Denny and Drew look to even more listener feedback. In the pub we promulgate a public service announcement near and dear to Denny's heart, investigate rumors of nefarious hop dealings and reminisce about Denny's time in the big snowy territory of Vail. And then we go to the lab where we discuss the first ever results delivered by our IGOR crew. Is there a discernable difference between Wyeast 1056 and WLP001? Marshall “Brulosopher” Schott of Brulosophy.com joins us to provide his view on the data provided by our IGORs and the vast swath of tasters. Back to the Bay Area we're onto Faction Brewing in Alameda and the ever voluble Rodger Davis. This is part one of two parts thanks to all the stories Rodger has at his disposal! Finally we take your questions, Drew talks about pressure and Denny remembers David Bowie and Alan Rickman. So, what do you guys think of our results? Do you agree? Disagree? Try brewing the test yourself and see what you find! Episode Links:

Episode 5 – Whirlpooling Around the Yeast Bay Jan 06, 2016

In Episode 5 – Denny and Drew look back at the Brew Year's Resolutions where we've had a bunch of feedback from listeners. We talk in the pub about the latest in acquisitions with the sweet spicy addition of hypocrisy – throw in a little competition and Denny's soon to be appearance in Vail. After that we return to the lab to present our second experiment. This time we're exploring if throwing hops into a whirlpool steep at a lower temperature (120F) makes a qualitative difference in the beer over throwing them in at the “new” recommended temperature of 170F. In theory, 120F should preserve more of the volatile aromatic compounds we care about, but does it actually matter? Back to the Bay Area we go with a pint at Oakland's very lovely Trappist where we talk with Nick Impellitteri of the Yeast Bay about his unique take on a yeast company and what he truly enjoys in regards to the little critters. He's got some fun directions he's hoping to take things and who knows – they may be future cross collaborations to happen! Finally we take your questions, Denny provides a little lesson in French and Drew tells us about the latest gadget he's gotten in his ill advised attempts to explode his heart via caffeine consumption. How about it, our fellow scientists – Are you ready for some hopping?!? Episode Links:

Episode 4 – Brew Year's Resolutions (A Meditation on Possible Failure) and the Best Amendment Dec 23, 2015

In Episode 4 – Denny and Drew reflect on the feedback we received about our discussion of the decline of homebrewing before we head to the Pub to talk about socially conscious brewing projects like Lady Justice Brewing in Denver and we talk about the Brew Tube community and how they're coming together after a loss. After that we return to Casa Verde to make plans and let the universe laugh at us as we reveal what our Brew Years Resolutions are. Seriously, that's just asking for failure. We'll see in a year no matter how much Denny protests the topic! Back to the Bay Area we go with another round of San Francisco treats as we bring you our first listener tasting ever. Things get a little dicey and Drew has to run. Warning the audio does get a little hairy! Note to listeners – if you know we'll be somewhere, feel free to bring beer for us to taste. It's a mandate of our parole from the Gambrinus Asylum for the Brewingly Insane that we taste your beer and offer critiques. Be warned though – you may end up on the air! Tasting concluded, we head to San Leandro and Rancho El Sully aka the 21st Amendment's gobsmackingly awesome production brewery in a former Kellogg's factory. We spend quite a bit of time chatting up one of the friendliest people in the brewing world, Shaun O'Sullivan and he reveals what it's like to grow from a wee little brewpub to a gianormous beer factory. Back in the lab, we take your questions about batch sparging, homebrew ruts, terrifying beer concepts and Denny's hair care regimen. Before we leave you for the episode, Drew also talks a little beer chemistry you should all know! Episode Links:

Episode 3 – Over a Barrel, Experimentally Dec 09, 2015

PROFANITY WARNING – There are a few unbleeped blue utterances in this podcast – if you're sensitive to blueness, please wear headphones! In Episode 3 – Denny and Drew start out in the Pub talking about a distressing topic – the possible decline of homebrewing, the causes and what all of us can do about it. Then we get into the real meat of our whole show as we head into the Experimental Brewing Labs in Casa Verde – it's experimentation time! Back in Episode 1 we walked you through a triangle test, now it's time to use it! In this episode, we'll describe the experiment and a few episodes down the line, we'll bring you the results of the IGORs testing and take your results as well! Then we're off to the Bay Area, where if you read our blog, you'll know we talked to a bunch of brewers – this week, we bring you our interview with Jay Goodwin of the Rare Barrel in Berkeley as he drops a bunch of sour beer knowledge on our puny little heads. We'll then take your questions and see if we can't start a fight between Denny & Drew before Denny gives you a little working knowledge about your pump head and then talks to you about his love for the world's favorite silly instrument – the ukulele!

Episode 2 – The Rise of the Robots Nov 25, 2015

In Episode 2 – Denny and Drew talk about the rise of the brewing robots and what they mean for us homebrewers. Are our “jobs” about to be farmed out to a microchip that can make better beer than we can before we've have our morning coffee? Is it really still brewing if a computer is doing all the watching? Also, what does it mean to be Craft Beer?

Holy Schnikes Batman – it's the first ever episode of Experimental Brewing with Denny and Drew.

Episode 0 – The Podcast Approacheth Nov 05, 2015

Listen to the dulcet tones of one Mr. Denny Conn as he explains to you what Experimental Brewing with Denny and Drew will be all about! That’s right two of your “favorite” authors – Drew Beechum and Denny Conn are bringing you a new show about the wackiness of beer science and the science of beer wackiness!
Where’s Drew? Why isn’t he in the trailer? Has he turned to the Dark Side of the Force? You’ll just have to wait and see for when the podcast drops on November 11th (or the 18th – things are a bit wishy washy in the world of the Internet)!
