Here at Homebrew Happy Hour, we like to brew more than just beer.
This year, one of my new year’s resolutions is to cover more fermentable consumables so we’re kicking it off with a #kombucha Q&A with one of my most favorite people in the world, Lorena Evans!
Lorena Evans is a longtime admin of HomebrewTalk.com and works with Brewer’s Friend cloud brewing software. She has fermented things for as long as she can remember: flowers for wine, tea for kombucha, fruits for country wine and cider, and vegetables for lacto-fermented pickles or even wine. Fermented hot peppers make a great hot sauce, and hard cider can make a delicious vinegar. From rhubarb wine to blackberry kombucha and, of course, beer, fermented products are a way of life for her. Lorena is a lifetime forager, and her motto is “If it doesn’t move, ferment it!”

On Today’s Show:
We’re back to tackle your questions about brewing and all things fermentation! We start off discussing the consequences of cold-crash suck back that sometimes happens from your airlock into your batch.
Then we take a question from a listener curious about when is the ideal time to filter your beer: pre-carbonation or post-carbonation.
After that, we talk about oxidation and if it’s possible to happen from carrying your fermenter from one place to another. There’s a lot of nuance and context necessary but the overall gist is – relax, don’t worry!
Then we wrap up this week with a question about secondary and “how long is too long”.

What all changes when you scale a recipe, pitching the ‘wrong’ yeast, ball lock disconnect stuck on the post, & grains and hops to always have on hand – Ep. 264
Jan 20, 2022
Happy to have you back, homebrewer!
We’ve got another jam-packed episode of our weekly Homebrew Happy Hour podcast… the #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

On Today’s Show:
Our first question on this week’s show is about scaling up or down a recipe and what that means for your mash and your boil times. Spoiler: it doesn’t mean much and we go over why.
Then we tackle a question about pitching the “wrong” yeast on brew day. Will the batch be a total dud and dumpable or could it turn out to be a pleasant surprise?
Next, we discuss why ball lock disconnects seem to be interchangeable (as in: liquid disconnects appear to fit on a gas post) yet when you accidentally put the wrong disconnect on a post, it’s very difficult to remove. What do YOU do when that happens to you?
Our fourth and final question on this week’s show was about what grains and hops we would keep around at all times if we were buying in bulk. Another spoiler: it only takes Pilsner malt and Vienna malt plus some noble hops like Hallertaur to make a solid kolsch!
We want to hear from you!

Todd, James, and I take on your questions in this week’s show.
First, we talk about what to do when your fermentation just doesn’t take off. Is the batch ruined? Do you need to dump it? Tune in and hear our opinion!
The next question we took was about whole cone dry hopping. Not gonna lie, I just nodded my head in affirmation during this part because I’ve never used whole hops at all. What are your thoughts: pellets or whole or both?!
After that, a listener wrote in about repairing a single valve on a multi-valve manifold. Is it possible to repair and/or replace or does the whole thing need to be worked on?
We then wrap up the episode with a question about using sanke kegs in a homebrew set up. How hard is it to fill one? Dispense one? That and more!

Fixing flat beer, cold conditioning outside, forgetting to add aroma hops, & our 2022 new year resolutions – Ep. 262

On Today’s Show:
James is able to join Todd and myself and tackle YOUR questions. Our first question came from a listener wanting to know if he is going to be able to fix his ‘flat’ (under-carbonated) beer. Thankfully, for him, we have the carbonation pro – Mr. Todd Burns – to reassure our friend that there is nothing to worry about.
After that, we take a question from a homebrewer who wants to know if it’s OK to cold condition his fermenting buckets outside. The question was short and sweet and the answer was too (until I dragged it out because I love adding nuance to listener questions!).
Then we heard from a Trub Club member who accidentally forgot to add his aroma hops during his brew day. Never fear – James Carlson is here to help.
We wrapped up this week discussing our 2022 brewing resolutions. What are yours?!

You guys… We’ve done it. After many years of consuming gallons and gallons of their beer and talking incessantly about Breakfast Stout on this show (to the point that Todd banned me from mentioning it ever again), I finally booked Founders’ brewmaster, Jeremy Kosmicki for an interview.
It was SO MUCH FUN too! Jeremy is such a down to Earth dude and we had an incredible time getting to know him and talk shop. Todd and James joined us as well and we all talked brewing, the craft beer scene in the 90’s, a day in the life of a brewmaster, and lots more.
This is also a good time to plug that you can brew your own breakfast stout with MY favorite recipe: https://www.homebrewhappyhour.com/imperial-coffee-stout-breakfast-stout-recipe/

She’s been in the scene for a long time and is best known as Yooper on our favorite forums Homebrew Talk and our favorite brewing software Brewer’s Friend.
Lorena is, without a doubt, the best fermenting specialist that I know. She’s an incredible brewer and has a TON of knowledge stored in her head. Seriously – ask her anything about fermentation and she’ll have THE answer for you. It’s incredible.
If you’re not a fan of episodes we do where we digress all the time and have a hard time staying on topic, then you *might* not fully enjoy this week’s show. It was my fault but I just had so much fun with Todd and Lorena out on the ranch patio that it was hard for me to not geek out and enjoy myself in the conversation.
However, if you’re a fan of fun and organic conversations among friends then I highly recommend that you stick around and enjoy an interview with one of our most favorite people in the world.

I am happy to have my friend, Joe Whiting, on this week’s episode with us. Joe is a longtime homebrewer, extremely talented musician, and – most importantly – doesn’t think our show sucks… so, BAM! I had to have him on, right?
Joe is an incredibly interesting guy who I share a lot in common with except he is way better at the things we both enjoy like being an accomplished musician, making consistently good beer, and he probably donates to charity more than I do too.
Do yourself a favor and check out his collection of music at JoeWhitingMusic.com or download his albums on your favorite streaming platform.

Using two immersion chillers and an ice bath, to sparge or not to sparge on a mash & boil, harvesting yeast from trub, & upping the ABV after primary fermentation – EP. 251

On Today’s Show:
Now that we’re on the other side of 250, we bring you back to our usual format. Actually, before I go on I should say that I’m so thankful for every one of you who tuned in to our live brew day last week and I was overwhelmed by the positive feedback! A ton of you also asked if we’d do more live brew days so I managed to twist Todd’s arm into supporting that idea. Stay tuned for more details!
Todd and James joined me this week to take on 4 great questions. First, we have a listener who is going to mimic the set up we all use (1 immersion chiller in the wort and one in an ice-bath of it’s own) but he wants to know if he should also put his boil kettle in an ice-bath.
Then, our next question was from a listener who was gifted a mash & boil electric all-in-one and he wants to know if he should or shouldn’t sparge. Spoiler: we all sparge even on all-in-one brew days but we go over why you *should* and what you can do if you’d prefer to NOT sparge.
After that, we take a question from a listener who needs help harvesting yeast from his fermenter. What all needs to be saved and what is just trub?
Then we wrap up the episode with a question about upping the ABV of a beer AFTER its’ primary fermentation is complete. Can this be done and how can it be done, if possible?

On Today’s Show:
I had a blast on this week’s show as Todd and James both joined me to tackle your questions. We started off the show with a question about Perlick flow control faucets and why they aren’t “full” flow control. As Todd called them, “flow control light” might be the better phrase. Learn more about why CMBecker flow controls are your best solution for proper restriction flow control.
Next, we have a listener interested in learning more about what a diacetyl rest is and when you need to do one. Specifically – are you utilizing a diacetyl rest for hybrid beers like kolsch?
After that, we address a question regarding when to compensate water volume: pre-boil or post-boil. There are a lot of factors that may change how/when you do it but I think we addressed most cases.
Then we wrap up this week’s episode with a question about brewing crispy pilsners. What’s the most crucial part of the brew day to achieve crispiness? Tune in to find out!

Todd and James join me to take on YOUR homebrewing questions which included –
A listener wanted to know what he might be doing wrong because he’s 12 brew days into the craft and hasn’t been happy with the head retention every beer has had. We give our opinions on what might be causing it and a bunch of options for troubleshooting and resolving!
Another listener is upgrading from buckets and wants a conical fermenter. Even though he’s only brewing 5 gallon batches (for now), will using a conical made for larger volumes (10 or 15 gallon batches) be an issue while he’s still brewing 5 gallon batches?
Next, we took a question about kettle insulation after a listener saw an ad for one. Why would you use insulation on a kettle?
Then we end this week’s show with a question about “fixing” a stout that finished WAY too dry. First off – Todd says that there is no such thing as TOO dry. What do you think?

On Today’s Show:
Todd and James join me to take on YOUR homebrewing questions which included –
One listener wrote in about secondary fermentation time and is it necessary to let the beer sit up to 4 weeks?
Also, another member of our community emailed me asking if using a wort chiller is “necessary” during brew day and if he can get by without using one. This was a tricky question with a lot of factors in our answers but I think we covered it good.
After that, we took a question regarding an “infected” keg. The listener who wrote in has been having issues with beer having off flavors in this one specific keg he’s serving them out of. Bad brew days or an ‘infected’ keg?
Then, we wrap up this week’s episode with a question about rehydrating dry yeast versus sprinkling it on top of our wort.

Don’t call it a comeback but all three of us are finally back on the show together! Just in time too because Todd and James are about to be heading out and flying into Denver for the 2021 Craft Brewers Conference. I don’t want to talk about why I’m not going with them.
On the show this week we did have a great time. Our first question was about the hop testing pale ale I brewed and the specialty grains that I had forgotten to add to it.
Next, a listener asked us about what type of milling he should do to his grains if he’s brewing on an Anvil Foundry.
After that, we took a question about filtering your wort in between the kettle (during your brew day!) and whatever device you’re using as a fermentation vessel.
We then wrapped up this week’s show with a question about dispensing from a keg that is lying on its’ side. Good idea or terrible idea?

Sorry about taking last week off! I was actually out sick and I’m still recovering from it but I’m ‘normal’ enough to crank out a new episode for y’all and I’m thankful that Todd was able to join me as well. In this week’s episode, we help a listener who is brewing off-site and wants to take their portion of a batch home with them immediately after brewing so they’re curious if anything might get ‘messed up’ in transit.
Then, we take a question from a new brewer who wants some advice on taking hydrometer readings. Should the test tube be only clear liquid or is it OK if some floaties make their way into the tube?
After that, we have a listener write in who is looking to switch to electric brewing but they want to know how often they should expect to calibrate the temperature controllers on an e-brewing system.
Finally, we wrap up with a question from someone who accidentally transferred beer into a clean but unsanitized keg. Is his batch going to get infected or is he over thinking it?
We want to hear from you!

Choosing your hops for a SMaSH recipe, head space when filling bottles, duplicate brew days but different results, & what to do with swollen packs of liquid yeast – Ep. 242
Aug 06, 2021
Hope you’re doing well, homebrewer!

On Today’s Show:
We start off the show with a question about selecting hops when developing a single hop and single mash (SMaSH) recipe. Thankfully, we have hop head Ladik Joe Ermis on the show with us this week and he was a huge help on this question. Shop fresh hops for your next batch here: https://www.kegconnection.com/hops/
Then, we had a question about filling bottles (gross, amirite?) and whether or not you should leave plenty of head space or if you can fill the bottle all the way up to the top. For bottling supplies, click here: https://www.kegconnection.com/bottle-filler/
Our third question was an interesting one because the listener initially brewed a batch of the award winning Brian’s Kolsch recipe kit – enjoyed it so much – then he bought a second recipe kit and brewed it the exact same way only to have slightly different results. His second batch was sweeter than his first and we try to help him figure out ‘why’. Brew the incredible Brian’s Kolsch recipe kit yourself: https://www.kegconnection.com/brians-kolsch-kolsch-cup-2021-grand-champion-recipe/
Finally, our fourth and final question on this week’s episode came from a listener who is a member of our Trub Club (https://www.patreon.com/HomebrewHappyHour) and receives recipe kits every month. During these Summer months, his pack of Imperial Yeast arrived slightly swollen and he isn’t sure whether he should pitch it as is or if he should create a starter for his batch.

Dip tube dilemma, liquid line length in a draft system, tips for travelling with kegs, & some of our brew day mistakes – Ep. 241
Jul 29, 2021
Hi, friend!
Thank you for joining us and yet another fun-filled episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast… the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

On Today’s Show:
Even though James is at the beach, he still made it a point to drop in and check on us to make sure we could do this week’s episode. What a guy!
Our first question was about dip tube lengths in a homebrew keg and whether or not it matters that the gas dip tube is just as long as the liquid side (which basically touches the bottom of the keg). Check out homebrew kegs, dip tubes, and other accessories here: https://www.kegconnection.com/homebrew-kegs/
The next question came from a listener who wants to know if there is a formula to follow that will ensure the proper length of liquid tubing in his kegerator system. This is the most Todd question I could’ve included on the show so you can trust that he thoroughly answered this. For liquid tubing, visit here: https://www.kegconnection.com/beer-hose/
After that, we discussed a question submitted by a community member who is travelling on vacation and wants to take his homebrew keg of beer with him. We get this question a lot and it’s good to remind people the helpful tips we have for taking your beer on the go! For a great draft kit solution, check this out: https://www.kegconnection.com/draft-beer-at-home-and-on-the-go-deluxe-kegerator-kit/
We wrapped up this week’s show with a question about our biggest brew day mistakes that still resulted in decent beer. Believe it or not, we’re no strangers to making mistakes (even during our brew days!) so we had a lot of fun with this question. For the freshest ingredients please visit here: https://www.kegconnection.com/ingredients

CMBecker disconnect maintenance, keg quality differences, weevils in my grains, & scaling recipes from small to bigger batches – Ep. 240
Jul 22, 2021
Howdy, homebrewer!
We are happy for you to join us for yet another fun-filled episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast… the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

Click the link and join today — https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=21132635
On Today’s Show:
Our first question for this week’s show asked if there is any recommended or required maintenance for our popular CMB disconnects. Thankfully, we have Mr. CMBecker himself – James Carlson – on our show and he was able to thoroughly answer this for our listener, Phil. If you’re interested in using the best disconnects on the market, check them out here: https://www.kegconnection.com/disconnects/
Next, we help out John who wanted to know more about the different “grades” of kegs that we personally use and if it’s “worth” spending the little bit of extra money on buying new kegs versus used/refurbished kegs. To shop top quality new and used kegs, visit here: https://www.kegconnection.com/homebrew-kegs/
After that, our third question for this week’s show came from a member of our community who wanted to know if the presence of a weevil in his grain bag (he reassured us that he didn’t get his grains from us, lol) meant that the grains are now unusable. You might be surprised by our answer! Shop the highest quality grains here: https://www.kegconnection.com/brewing-grains/
Then we wrapped up this week’s show with a question from our buddy Rob who wanted to know about scaling recipes. We hope we demystified it a little for you because it really can be as easy as using an awesome tool like Brewer’s Friend to do it for you OR you can buy multiple quantities of your favorite recipe kits to bring up the volume (if you want 15 gallon batch of your favorite 5 gallon recipe kit, buy 3 of those kits!).

DIY false bottom, fruity notes in my kölsch, deodorizing brew day smells, & insulating beer lines in a tower installation – Ep. 239
Jul 15, 2021

On Today’s Show:
We take a question from a listener who is ready to start allgrain brewing and wants to know which false bottom to get OR if they should just make their own. We recommended this one (it’s usually low in stock and gets sold as soon as we stock them!): https://homebrewsupply.com/stainless-steel-domed-false-bottom-12/
Then, we discuss a question submitted that asked why fruity notes might appear in a kolsch but not until weeks after kegging it. Having some subtle fruity notes in your kolsch is super normal but James had some ideas on how to minimize it if that’s not a desired flavor you’re going for. The kolsch kit mentioned in this question is: https://www.kegconnection.com/brians-kolsch-kolsch-cup-2021-grand-champion-recipe/
Then, we get a funny question from a guy who loves to brew but his girlfriend can’t stand the smell. While we can’t relate to that, we did our best to offer some good (and some truly awful) advice for our friend.
We wrapped up this week’s show with a question about keeping beer lines as cool as possible, specifically in a tower installation scenario. Todd had some solid advice and also mentioned utilizing this: https://www.kegconnection.com/beer-tower-cooler-kit/

LHBS closing, brewing with mystery hops, would you rather have good water or fermentation temp control, & using commercial kegs for my homebrewed beer – Ep. 238

On Today’s Show:
We start our show with a question from a listener who’s local homebrew supply shop, unfortunately, had to close their doors and he wants to know what to look for when ordering from an online retailer. Spoiler alert: we’re very biased about Kegconnection.com and HomebrewSupply.com!
Then, we discuss what we might do if we found ourselves in the same position as a community member who was given a large amount of “mystery” hops. He has no idea how to identify them and he doesn’t want them to go to waste. What would you do in his situation?
After that, we took a question that posed an odd scenario: if you had to choose between having “good” water versus having temperature controlled fermentation – which would you choose?
Finally, we wrap up this week’s show with a text message submission asking about using sanke kegs instead of corny kegs for kegging homebrewed beer.

Todd and James were nice enough to join me to take your questions because Lord knows I can’t do this show on my own! Specifically, I get called out for still having breakfast stout on tap (don’t judge me – I’m trying to make it last!). We also talk about what size kettle you should have if you’re trying to brew specific gallon amounts of beer. Then, we talk about the need (or lack thereof) to replace heating elements on your electric brewing system. We close our the Q&A section with a listener who received a Blichmann Beer Gun and wants to know if he should use it for filling his growlers as well as bottles.

If you don’t know what HomebrewCon is, the best way to describe it is “an awesome 3 days of informational seminars, fun hang outs, and growing as a homebrewer”. Go over the HomebrewCon.org right now and sign up to join the fun.

Todd and James join me this week to tackle your awesome homebrewing questions. We recorded from the brew room at HQ because James was having a brew day on our new Brautag system! It’s now available at Kegconnection.com (CLICK HERE) and we couldn’t be more excited. Also – we still have 4 passes to HomebrewCon Online to giveaway and you can enter for your chance to win by clicking HERE. Drawing will be on Monday, June 14th.
Also – if you’re listening to this episode and wondering “I follow them on Instagram and I didn’t see anything about blending beers this week” it’s because Todd and I drank too much before we remembered that we didn’t blend any beers last night. We’ll get to it another time, especially since I’ll be up at HQ ALL NEXT WEEK as we prepare for our HomebrewCon Online 2021 seminar on brewing on a HERMS system.

It’s been a while so I am super stoked to welcome back Homebrew Supply’s Director of Operations, Mr. Ladik Joe Ermis! Joe is an incredibly under-utilized resource, mainly because he’s SO BUSY managing the day-to-day production operations for Kegconnection LLC. I begged him for an hour of his time and, lucky for all of us, he was able to join me this week and tackle your questions.

I gave Todd and James a break since Todd is out of town for a medical procedure and James works so hard – they both deserved the week off. However, I was thrilled to welcome my friends Tyler & Laurie from the Brew’d Up podcast on the show. We’ve had Tyler on before and it was great catching up with her as well as meeting Laurie and learning more about what they’re brewing, how they’re brewing it, and all about their podcast.

James and Todd are back with me to take your questions and chit-chat the day away. We had a PACKED episode today and I, personally, had such a good time recording it with these dudes. Questions about whether or not it matters how your sparging water hits the mash, what kind of tunes are we listening to when we brew, how to keep your beer glassware clean, and one listener wanted to know if he should throw out his batch because he caught his dog drinking from the boil kettle (BEFORE the wort got to boil, of course).

He also happens to be visually impaired but that doesn’t stop him from brewing up delicious batches of homebrewed beer and we had a blast talking with him. I have felt bad for excluding Todd and James on these homebrewer showcase episodes so you’ll notice that it was a nice addition having them on with our special guest.

We then took your questions and discussed a ton of fun topics that I also hope spread some useful information on keeping beer at room temperatures (or, ideal temps for storing beer), is it legal to “give away” beer, should I filter my homebrewed beer, and what else could cause a “stale” off-flavor in my beer if I didn’t splash/oxidize my batch?

I’m freshly moved in to my new home BUT… my new office build out is still being created (thanks to my father-in-law and my Pop!), so that means this week’s episode is slightly under-produced, in my opinion.

On Today’s Show:
January FLEW by, didn’t it?! It’s crazy to me how quick time seems to pass these days. As you may have heard me mention on previous episodes, I’m in the middle of moving a town over so all of my free time has been packing up our house, purging things I don’t want to take with us, and getting ready to move. It’s been crazy!
Thankfully, my favorite part of the week is producing new episodes of this show and I’m also especially thankful for Todd and James because, without them, I couldn’t possibly begin to answer all of the questions in our HHH inbox. To be fair, even when my brain isn’t fried and overloaded with house selling and house buying and moving stuff, I probably couldn’t answer most of your questions then either.
This week was fun as we discuss a question from a listener who discovered that they had accidentally frozen their keg of beer. We also got a question from a new Blichmann Beer Gun owner about the possibilities of using the device to bottle from a keg of nitrogenated beer. Then, we discussed a question about what might happen if your airlock becomes dislodged during fermentation. Finally, we wrap up the show with a question about the potential safety hazards of using a propane burner on top of a wood pallet base.
We want to hear from you!

Making extract beer dryer, dry hop sterilization, upgrading to PVC free beer lines, & a question about creamer faucet functionality – Ep 216

On Today’s Show:
I’m, once again, graced by Todd and James’s knowledge as they help me tackle your submitted homebrewing questions. We start off by taking a question from an avid extract brewer who is curious is he can do anything to a favorite recipe of his to help make the finished beer “a little bit dryer”. Then, we talk about the importance of sterilizing additions (dry hopping) and how we go about doing that. That was followed by a question about upgrading to PVC-free beer lines and if the more premium liquid lines would allow for leniency regarding how often one needs to clean said lines (spoiler: Todd says clean them every two weeks!). Finally, we wrap up the show with a conversation on creamer functionality in CMB faucets and why it’s a good thing. This was right up James’s alley!

Kolsch conditioning, choosing proper glassware, buying used kegerators, & brewing a retail recipe kit for competitions – Ep. 215

On Today’s Show:
James and Todd are back on the program with me to help answer your questions! Specifically, we talk about the turn around “most” kolsches take to get from grain to glass. Mind you, the fastest turn around almost always has to include force carbonating in a keg, so – sorry if you prefer to bottle!
Next, we take a question about the importance (if any) of using the “right” glassware for specific styles of beer. As a man with fancy taste, I would love to tell you all that I ALWAYS have the proper glassware when I’m drinking my delicious (or, sometimes, not delicious) homebrew craft beer but that’s actually not always the case. In fact, if you follow our Instagram page, you’ll see that I’m frequently drinking everything out of an alt glass or a kolsch stange. I’m ready for your hate mail but I prefer the smaller volume (7 to 9oz per pour, for me) and the ease of using an “uncomplicated” glass. It fits me well but I’m open to your opinions and Todd and James offered their own in this episde.
Then, we have a listener write in who purchased a used kegerator from Facebook marketplace and now he isn’t sure what to do. We get this kind of question a lot and it’s shows like this when I’m most thankful for Todd and James because they usually get to the point with what should be your priorities and what you shouldn’t have to worry about for a while.
Lastly, we take a question about using established homebrew recipe kits from your favorite retailer and submitting that beer into competitions. Is it frowned upon? If you’re in competitions does that mean you should only submit completely original recipes? We talk about this but I would love to hear what you think in the comments below.
We want to hear from you!

It’s been a while since we’ve done a “Homebrewer Showcase” episode so I wanted to start the new year on the right foot and do more of these types of shows.

Back by popular demand, we are proud to welcome back Horst Dornbusch! We had such a good time on episode 199 and you all seemed to love him too, so we begged and pleaded and broke him down until he agreed to do the show again. He brought a wealth of information on topics I, honestly, never even thought COULD be interesting but Horst somehow made me pay attention. ALSO – this is like the only episode where I maybe speak for a total of 2 minutes… so, this is looking to be our most popular episode ever published!
Kidding aside – enjoy our latest interview with the incredible Horst Dornbusch.

James is out this week working hard and in charge BUT, surprise surprise, Mr. Chief Keg Washer himself was able to join me as he returned sooner than I thought he would from his vacation.
Todd helped me take your questions this week and, thankfully, most of them were softballs which helped me curate a pretty fun-filled year-end show. We talked about our favorite batches of beer that we brewed this year, our favorite equipment (and least favorite equipment) we used in 2020, we discussed whether we’d invest money in the pre-boil or post-boil (fermentation or cold side) of brewing if we could go back and do it all over again, and, of course, we touch on our 2021 brew year resolutions.

Todd is out on vacation but, thankfully, Mr. Carlson was able to join me this week as we take your questions and discuss our best answers! We also go over some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and what’s happening in our Patreon community.
On this episode, we discuss one of our favorite styles of beer – New England IPAs! Ok, if you’re new to the show you might not catch my sarcasm there… but, even though it isn’t our thing, New England IPAs are still a very popular style and a listener was curious on how to best achieve the color profile when he’s brewing one. Also, we take a question about step mashing (how to do it, when to do it, what it does), a question on the appropriate time to measure your grains (before milling, after milling, etc), and we wrap up with a question about using an all-in-one electric system (specifically, the Anvil Foundry) as a vessel for primary fermentation. It’s a ton of content packed into this one episode and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Todd and James were both able to join me this week and help take your brewing related questions. We also go over some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and what’s happening in our Patreon community.
On this episode, we discuss how whether or not it is important to keep the equipment you use for sours separate for other equipment and in what scenarios it might make more of a difference. We also talk about how to pinpoint CO2 (gas) leaks that might be happening in your kegerator, keezer, or draft beer system. Then, we talk about water profiles and whether or not we build them each time we brew. Finally, we wrap up this week’s show with a question about how to figure out what type of homebrew keg you have if it isn’t stamped on the side of the keg. Todd is the absolute expert on this topic so I’m confident that we were able to help the listener with his question!

Tons of fun were had today as Todd and James join me and help take your brewing related questions. We also go over some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and what’s happening in our Patreon community.
On this episode, we discuss how we fill our growlers from our faucets (spoiler: it’s not very sophisticated!). We also talk about purposefully lowering your batch’s ABV and how to accomplish that. Then, we talk about what might happen to your beer if you have fluctuating temperatures at the end of your mash (spoiler: don’t over think things!).

We’re still recovering from the madness of our Black Friday – Cyber Monday weekend stuff but we’re excited to bring you another fun-filled episode this week!
Todd and James join me to discuss YOUR questions and talk about some other fun updates we have – such as our new metal beer signs for Patreon members! That’s right: if you’re in a recipe receiving tier of our Patreon community, you’ll be getting a sweet new metal sign sent with your next kit. It’s our way of saying “THANK YOU” for your support and we appreciate everyone in our community. You can learn more by visiting Patreon.com/HomebrewHappyHour where you’ll also see our recently announced recipe kits for December. Fun stuff so go check it out!
In this episode, we talk about how late is “too late” in regards to making beer to enjoy on Christmas day. We also have a question about giving the perfect gift to the homebrewer in your life. Another listener wrote in asking for our opinions on conical fermenters and what features should they be looking for and, finally, we discuss the point of double milling and why people who do “brew in a bag” (or BIAB) are double milling their grains.

Don’t let the craziness of election week keep you from enjoying the fun-filled episode we’ve got for you today! Todd and James join me to tackle your questions such as “what is the best way to take gravity readings of your beer if you’re fermenting in a standard bucket”, “how long will my beer last if I share it with friends in a growler instead of bottling it”, “when upgrading my fermentation gear, should I convert a fridge/freezer and make a fermentation chamber or should I buy a conical and glycol chiller set up?”, and “is it possible that my keg is causing my beer to go bad or become infected?”. Lots of great questions and it was a blast covering these topics for you!

Todd is back and joins myself and Mr. James Carlson as we take YOUR questions this week and have a blast doing it.

Better late than never, right? Sorry for the day delay – I go over it a little at the top of the show but we had a crazy hectic week yet we’re still happy to be back in your ears or on your screen!
This week, Todd and James join me to take your homebrewing questions and discuss other mostly on-topic things. Specifically, we talk about the different methods of chilling (cooling down) your wort and how some pieces of gear may work better for you depending on your situation.
We also discuss a listener who is getting bad foam whenever he switches from his corny keg of homebrew over to a commercial keg of beer. He makes a point to tell us that flow control faucets aren’t really in his budget yet so we do our best to point him in the right direction!
Then, we take a question about what happens to beer that sits in the liquid lines for too long. Can it go stale? Could it cause off-flavors to arise or contaminate the beer?
Finally, we wrap up with a question asking if the BTF Iodophor stains on the listener’s gear is going to affect future batches of beer. You all know how much we love BTF Iodophor and that we use it all the time so we have a lot of experience with this!
We want to hear from you!

Todd is out so poor Mr. James Carlson had to carry the show on his back today even though I was present…
Kidding aside, I had a great time with the Director of Operations for CMBecker International, Mr. Carlson! We discussed our upcoming 200th episode, some big news about next week’s episode too, and James helped me field your questions on brewing. Specifically, we discussed what a diacetyl rest is and when you need to make sure and do one, we also discussed how to get clear/bright beers and if filtering is worth it, then we slightly covered flow control disconnects (we hadn’t really heard of them before this episode) and, finally, we end with a discussion on carbonation. It’s funny because Todd wasn’t here and we both agreed that he is the carbonation expert so maybe we’ll ask his opinion on a future episode?

The filter housing uses 3/4″ pipe fittings so you will need bushings and 1/2″ to 3/8 fittings. Those can be bought on amazon and any hardware store. Brass works just fine but stainless steel is optimal.

We’re back at it and still taking FOUR questions per episode now. We are receiving so many incredible questions from you all so it makes my job easier when writing out the show notes for each weekly episode. Today, we discuss using yeast nutrients and when it’s appropriate. We also talk about how a brewer can achieve clearer/brighter IPAs (especially when you’re brewing something like a traditional West Coast IPA and not an intentionally hazy NEIPA). Then we talk about hitting yours gravity numbers on brew day and whether or not you should stress out about it. Finally, end with a question about following the guidelines that come with your brewing system (specifically, electric all-in-ones) or should you follow the recipe guidelines more? It was a great show that also included irrelevant small talk and some embarrassing moments for me that I was too lazy to edit out. C’est la vie!

Much like last week’s show, we are taking FOUR questions from now on which means even more awesome content jam-packed into each week AND, get this — we’re going to try and stay on topic 80% of the show. Eh? Eh? Not a bad promise.
We talked about a lot today, including the process of changing out pin lock posts for ball lock posts and what to look out for when converting a keg‘s posts. We also take a question that asked about when sparging an all-grain batch is necessary and in what situations could you get away with doing a “no sparge” brew day. Then, we discussed using over-sized conical fermenters when you’re brewing much smaller batches (i.e – if you brew 5 gallon batches but own a 15 gallon fermenter). Finally, we wrap it up with a question about doing the entire fermentation process in a homebrew keg. It’s more common than you might think and we discuss the pros and cons of doing it that way!

This means our shows will go slightly longer than normal and we might actually end up being a full hour, thus fulfilling our show’s name as the Homebrew Happy Hour. We also realize that we can, sometimes, digress a bunch and have REALLY long small talk so this will help us maintain our entertainment value but increase the educational/informational value of our show. Please let me know if this is something you enjoy because we love your feedback!
We want to hear from you!

Can you believe that it’s already the middle of August? Sorry, the thought just popped in my head that 2020 has been such a weird year AND it feels like its flying by. Crazy…
ANYWAY – we have a great show because Todd and James were both able to join me and take YOUR questions because we all know I couldn’t do it by myself.
Specifically: we compare 110v and 220v all-in-one brewing systems (like the Robobrew, Mash & Boil, Grainfather, Anvil Foundry, etc) and why you might want one version over another. We also discuss what could be causing a “sour apple” off flavor that a listener is experiencing in her batches of beer, then we talk about adding adjuncts to your beer and when is the best time to do it.

We covered a lot of info on today’s show! Information such as helping a listener who has only brewed lagers up until now and he’s curious if he should use equipment exclusively for each style of beer he brews (one fermenter for lagers, one for ales, etc, etc). We also took a question about preventing mold. Our final question was about the appropriate length for liquid tubing when doing a keezer build and NOT using flow control faucets.

In case you missed it, we presented a seminar last week for the 2020 #HomebrewCon ! Despite what Todd may have told you, #HomebrewCon was NOT cancelled (I won a $5 bet, you guys!) but, rather, it was restructured to being an online only event. Our seminar, “IN DEPTH: Draft Beer Systems & Building a Keezer” went smooth and we had an absolute blast doing it. You can watch it at https://www.homebrewhappyhour.com/in-depth-draft-beer-systems-and-building-a-keezer/ or by visiting our YouTube channel at YouTube.com/HomebrewHappyHour !
In this episode, we go over the fun of #HomebrewCon and we also take your questions! Specifically, we cover what to do if you accidentally put your gas or liquid disconnect on the wrong keg post (it happens!), natural carbonating your beer even if you keg, and a listener asks us about our favorite non-beer beverages to make when we aren’t brewing beer.
Lots of great info on today’s episode!

We had such a good time preparing this seminar for you all and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. There will also be a coupon code given out to all #HomebrewCon attendees who make it to our seminar so be on the lookout for that as well!

I had the pleasure of welcoming the Director of the American Homebrewers Assoication, Mr. Gary Glass! Gary is a long time brewer and has also been with the AHA for a long time. He joined me to discuss the upcoming Virtual Big Brew Day hosted by the AHA and we also talked about his history as a homebrewer and other things because, you know, I have a hard time staying on topic sometimes. It was a fantastic interview and Gary helped provide important information about the event that we hope you sign up for because it should be a ton of fun!

Todd and James join me this week for another fun-filled episode. We had JUST finished recording this week’s episode of Recipe Recap & Review, so pardon us if we’re still giddy from the delicious beer we drank for that show. If you missed out, check out the episode here https://www.homebrewhappyhour.com/recipe-recap-review-ep-05-my-first-pale-ale/
For THIS show, we catch up on brew days we’ve completed, talk about some upcoming stuff, and take YOUR questions. Specifically, we cover whether boiling your wort for an hour is arbitrary or intentional, how to calculate when to add hops in case you had to boil down your wort for the sake of gravity, and best practices when storing your jockey box. We kind of cover the spectrum in this episode and we had a great time doing it!

Kenny made the trek from Ohio all the way down to the heart of Texas to hang with us. We brewed some beer, drank LOTS of beer, and caught up with him and what he’s up to these days.

You might not believe this but Todd couldn’t join us today because… get this… he’s on a freakin’ helicopter RIGHT NOW shooting hogs from it. Yes, you read that correctly. James and I are both incredibly jealous of the amazing time that Todd is, undoubtedly, having. In case you’re wondering – hogs are a TERROR here in Texas and are vastly overpopulated on Todd’s ranch where they’ve been literally destroying the land which is affecting all the other wildlife that rely on Todd’s property. So… don’t feel bad for the little piggies !
ANYWAY – that means it’s just James and I today but thank God he joined me because I could not have done today’s show without him. We discuss whether you should follow the temperature ranges listed in your recipe kit versus what’s on your yeast pack (ideally — they’d both be the same ranges), we talk about how important pH levels are in regards to the mashing process, and a listener writes in with a question on best practices for cleaning his Grainfather unit.

Brewing with brett and is it better to add water volume pre or post boil? — Ep. 167
Jan 31, 2020
Hey there, our homebrewing friend!
Welcome back to another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast… the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!
In case you’re new here, we also discuss a lot of off topic stuff so don’t say that I didn’t warn you!
On Today’s Show:
Todd and James are just now getting back into the country from a very “productive business trip”. I put that in quotes because I don’t believe it was really a business trip at all judging by all of the gloating pics and videos the guys sent me during their stay.
With them gone, that means fan favorite Ladik Joe Ermis helps me take your questions so that I don’t look like an idiot trying to Google answers all by myself. Specifically, we discuss the legality of shipping beer across the country (disclaimer: we are not lawyers and do not offer valid legal advice. if you, hypothetically speaking, were to ship us beer we would appreciate it but never encourage it if it, by chance, happens to violate state or federal law…wink wink nod nod). We also talk about brewing with brett for a sour IPA and a listener asks us about when is it appropriate to add water volume to your wort – pre boil or post boil?
Again – THANK GOD for Ladik Joe Ermis because I really needed his expertise to get through this show. You all are going to love it!

Jan 24, 2020
Happy to have you back, friend!
and thank you, once again, for tuning in to this episode of Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
In case you missed it, Todd and James are in Germany all week allegedly in important meetings but my phone keeps getting blasted with photos and videos of them wasted in altstadt and rubbing it in my nose that I’m not there… besides that, I’m sure it’s a super serious business trip…
ANYWAY – I don’t care because we’ve got a special treat for you all this week! I’m super proud and excited to present this interview I did with Ryan Oxton from Spike Brewing Equipment. You’ve heard their ad bumper on our show and, for years, you’ve heard us raving about their equipment, and FINALLY we’ve got them on the show.
Ryan was a blast to talk to and I learned a lot about the history of Spike Brewing Equipment and it was super cool to learn about Ryan’s history as a homebrewer himself. We also discussed new and upcoming products that Spike is releasing that I know you’re going to be excited about as well!

Howdy, friend!
Great to have you and thanks for tuning in to this episode of Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
It’s the last week before Todd and James fly out to Germany (without me, but I’ll complain about that another day and lots more in the future) so I’m happy they were able to join me and help take YOUR questions on today’s show.
One listener wrote in asking about what to do when you have over half of your packet of yeast left over (and other scaling stuff about scaling down 5 gallon recipes) and our second question asks about choosing hops for recipe building and when to use them during the brew day.

Thank you for tuning in to another fantastic episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
We hope you’re having a great start to the new year and sticking to whatever resolutions you’ve established for yourself! The good news is that we are 9 days into 2020 and I haven’t lost a bet to Todd yet. What a great year this is going to be!
For this week, Todd and James join me to small talk our way thru 15’ish minutes and then answer YOUR questions about homebrewing. Specifically, we got asked about what may have happened when a liquid yeast got pitched but no activity ever happened, plus we talk about breaking up an all-grain brew day into multiple steps over several days. It was a great show that I’m excited to share with you!

We hope you had an incredible and safe new year celebration! We had a ton of fun which included plenty of delicious homebrew, delicious food, friends, family, and tasty cigars all to boot.
Todd and James join me to discuss our brew year resolutions (see what I did there?) for 2020. We also make some predictions for the craft beer world (spoiler alert: mine makes fun of fruity beers. #sorrynotsorry), AND we take a couple of questions about gas regulators. Not too shabby of an episode for our first one of 2020!

Dec 26, 2019
Merry Christmas, friends!
Thank you for tuning in again to yet another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Hey, remember when last week I said that Todd was losing terribly to me in the weightloss competition? Turns out, I was wrong. I’m just going to let you listen or watch this week’s episode so you can get the full details in context but let’s just say that I’m pissed.
ANYWAY – on this week’s episode we recap our favorite brews of the years as well as our least favorites too. We then take a question about force carbonation and we reflect on how great of a year the podcast had in 2019. THANK YOU all so much for tuning in each week and for being a part of our lives. You make this show what it is and we’re so thankful for each and every one of you!

Yeast Nutrients and Can You Save an Oxidized Beer? — Ep. 161
Dec 19, 2019
Nice to have you, homebrewer!
Thank you for tuning in to another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Todd is gone so it’s just James and I but, fear not, we sorta stayed on topic this episode! After catching up on some small talk which consisted mainly of me dogging Todd’s horrificly bad efforts at losing weight for our competition, we also took two questions. We discuss yeast nutrients as well as if time can help heal an oxidized beer. These are two things we haven’t actually talked much about so I was pumped to have James’s input on these!

Using CO2 to prevent oxidation during fermentation — Ep. 159
Dec 05, 2019
Happy December, Homebrewer!
Thank you for joining us once again for another fun-filled episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
We’re back from stuffing ourselves silly during the Thanksgiving break. Well, some of us (*cough* TODD *cough*) may have stuffed themselves more than others… but, either way, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we hope you did too!
We update you all on the weight loss competition between myself and Todd. Spoiler: I’m going to win. This week we also briefly discuss our holiday beer selection for our company Christmas party and I remind you all of the wonderful perks you receive when you join our Patreon community!
Then, we address two questions. The first is on what size CO2 cylinder might work best if only used for keeping O2 from seeping into your beer during fermenation in a vessel like the Spike Flex or Flex +. The second question deals with corny keg upkeep and, specifically, repairing rubber handles that are coming loose. It’s an informative episode, that’s for sure!

Nov 28, 2019
Happy turkey day, friends & family!
Thank you for joining us for this week’s episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Due to it being Thanksgiving week, we recorded this week’s episode TOGETHER from the Kegconnection HQ! I apologize ahead of time as it isn’t the best video quality nor is the audio my favorite, but it was actually a ton of fun to record this way and be in person with Todd and James.
We tried to make this episode themed and even brought props as the two questions we discuss have to do with faucets and upgrading your kegerator’s faucets. Spoiler alert: we push CMBecker faucets pretty heavy on this episode!
If you enjoy this format, let us know in the comments below.

How often do you clean or replace your beer lines? — Ep. 157
Nov 21, 2019
Happy to have you back, homebrewer!
Thank you for tuning in to this week’s episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Todd and James are BACK from Germany/Austria! Even though I’m super jealous of their trip, it was great getting a recap of the Brau tradeshow as well as the fun they had while visiting Vienna.
On this week’s episode, we discuss hygiene for your home kegging system. It’s an often overlooked part of the draft beer experience but having clean tubing and dispensing components will make a *huge* difference in taste and pour. I always worry that episodes like this will bore our audience but I really do believe you’ll learn something from today’s show!
We also have November’s live Q&A booked for members of our Patreon community! Live, at 1pm central on Friday, November 29th I’ll be welcoming longtime friend of the show, Jason Chalifour.

Homebrewer Showcase: Talking Canning and Label Design w/ Rob Partin, Pixel Perfect Brewing — Ep. 156
Nov 14, 2019
Welcome back, homebrewer!
Thank you for joining us again for this week’s episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Todd and James are out of the country, attending the Brau in Nuremberg, Germany, so I’m excited to present this week’s episode; another “Homebrewer Showcase”! Rob Partin from Virginia is the man behind “Pixel Perfect Brewing” and he is also responsible for some really awesome label art for his beers.
Rob is also big into canning so I’m glad I was able to pick his brain a little and learn a lot about how easy it is for homebrewers to get into canning as well as the benefits of canning versus bottling.
I had a ton of fun with Rob and I hope you enjoy this week’s episode.

Tips for making better beer from extract recipes — Ep. 155
Nov 07, 2019
Glad to have you back, homebrewer!
Thank you for joining us for yet another episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Todd and James join me once again for the most fun I’ve had all week. To be fair, it’s been a pretty boring week… KIDDING, Todd!
For this week’s show, I fielded some questions that focused specifically on extract brewing. It’s easy, as an all-grain brewer, to forget how good of beers you can produce from extract reccipes! I, personally, also tend to forget how much and enjoyable an extract brew day can be… specifically, when it comes to the clean up and time management components. I feel like we should produce some #brewday videos doing extract batches; what do you think?

Learn to Homebrew Day and More with the AHA’s Matt Bolling — Ep. 154
Oct 31, 2019
How ’bout this weather, homebrewer?!
Thank you for joining us for yet another episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
I don’t know where you’re tuning in from but, here in central Texas, it is FINALLY feeling like brewing weather. High 40’s, low 50’s (Fahrenheit, to clarify for our international crowd!) and sunny days. I LOVE IT! I hope you’re having good weather and even better brewing days too.
On Today’s Show:
Matt Bolling from the American Homebrewer’s Association joins me today to discuss the upcoming “Learn to Homebrew Day” which is THIS SATURDAY, November 2nd, 2019. It’s always the first Saturday of November and it is always a good time!
Matt is the Events & Membership Coordinator at the AHA and we’ve known him for a while. If you’ve ever attended any of the events put on by the AHA and/or the BA, you’ve probably seen Matt around or at least experienced a good time thanks to the efforts of Matt and the entire team there at the AHA.
He talks about Learn to Homebrew Day as well other fun stuff such as the other events going on throughout the year, his own homebrewing experience, and the benefits and joys of being a part of a local homebrewing club. I had an absolute blast with Matt and hope to have him on again in the future!

Thank you for joining us for yet another episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Todd and James join me for a fun filled episode of the show! We catch up with the birthday boy, Mr. Carlson, about him turning 50. We also are reminded how annoyed Todd gets by me and how much he’s looking forward to me starting to gush about Founder’s Breakfast Stout (can you sense the sarcasm yet?). We also eventually take a couple of questions and it’s this segment of the show that I’m most thankful for Todd and James! Kidding aside —
I would also like to remind everyone that our very first Patreon exclusive LIVE Q&A is THIS FRIDAY (October 25th) at 6pm in our private Facebook group that you can join at ANY level of our Patreon community. The lovely Lorena Evans will be taking your questions and it’s going to be a blast!

Homebrewer Showcase: Tyler Sadler from the SoCal Cerveceros — Ep. 150
Oct 03, 2019
Welcome back, home brewer!
It’s time for another episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
It’s been a couple of weeks since we released an episode! If you haven’t kept up on our social media (Facebook or Instagram, specifically), a lot has gone on the last several weeks. Between Todd’s neck surgery, my vasectomy (insert sad violin music here), and then my daughter Esther had a week long stay at the hospital for a brain tumor, no kidding! Long story short – everyone is doing fine now. They successfully removed a ganglioglioma tumor from my daughter’s brain, it was benign, and has a less than 10% chance of ever coming back. I want to thank you all for reaching out to me during the whole ordeal and for your thoughts and prayers. Truly, it meant the world to me and our community is the best community ever!
SO – with all that being said, episode 150 features Tyler Sadler; a fantastic homebrewer out of southern California who is brewing up some awesome beers and is very active in her local homebrewer club, the Socal Cerveceros! It was so much fun getting to know her and learn more about her background and future plans in brewing. You definitely need to be following her on Instagram at @TylersBrew

The gang is all back together again! Todd is here, James is here, I am, well, obviously here. If I had enough money to license “Reunited” by Peaches & Herb I would, but just hum it in your head when you first hear us all on together in this episode.
We are not only back as a threesome, we also take YOUR questions on homebrewing. Specifically, we discuss when to use nitro and why you’d want to PLUS we discuss our favorite way to chill our wort when brewing in Texas: using TWO wort chillers. It isn’t as difficult nor as expensive as you might be thinking it is. Also — here are the keg labels we had made that I talked about on today’s show, since I forgot to inject them into the video. My bad!
This episode was a ton of fun to produce so I hope you enjoy episode 149 of our show!

Which part of the brewing process is flavor most affected by? — Ep. 148
Sep 05, 2019
Happy Weekend, Homebrewer
and thank you for tuning in to our home brewing podcast
and we welcome you to the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Todd’s surgery was a success! He is already home and recovering well, which means that he could not join us today as we’d rather not have a drugged up Todd Burns on the show. Can you imagine his dancing at the beginning of the show being worse than it already is? The thought terrifies me.
With that being said, Handsome James Carlson joins me to take your home brewing related questions on today’s episode. Specifically, we talk about which part of the #brewday process is FLAVOR most affected and we also talk about hot breaks and head retention. It’s actually way more exciting than it probably sounds!

17:15 First question, “When is flavor most affected during the brewing process”
29:50 Second question, “does removing hot break affect head retention?”

Should my sparge water and strike water have the same pH levels? — Ep. 146
Aug 22, 2019
Welcome back to another episode, friend!
– Thank you for tuning in to our home brewing podcast –
and we welcome you to the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
James Carlson from CMBecker International is back with me as Todd is still, unfortunately, out of commission. We did get an update on his condition and it turns out that he was TWO herniated discs in his upper spine and is scheduled for corrective surgery in early September. This means a couple of things: 1) He probably won’t be on the show until after his procedure and 2) He’ll probably have some killer pain meds that might make him even goofier than usual. Yes, I will make sure to point this out if/when he’s back on the show and under the influence.
With all that said, we’ve got a fantastic show lined up for you guys! We discuss aging times for Christmas beers (is it too early to be thinking about Christmas brews? We don’t think so!) as well as pH level discrepancies in your strike water versus your sparge water.
It’s questions like these that make me thankful to have James on board because I was really just along for the ride!

How do I know if my beer is ready to drink? — Ep. 145
Aug 15, 2019
Hey! We’re happy to have you back!
– Thank you for tuning in to our home brewing podcast –
and we welcome you to the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
James Carlson from CMBecker International graciously joins me to discuss some questions about determining when a homebrewed batch is ready to consume, and we also take a question about James’ decoction method.
Todd was unable to join us because he, unfortunately, is dealing with an excruciating pinched nerve and is trying to get better from that. I promise that I had NOTHING to do with it despite me challenging Todd to professional wrestling cage matches for many years.
Either way, we hope you enjoy this week’s episode as much as we enjoyed producing it!

Talking Malts with Special Co-Host Jason Chalifour from Muntons — Ep. 144
Aug 08, 2019
We are so happy to have you back, our homebrewing friend!
– Thank you for tuning in to our home brewing podcast –
and we welcome you to the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
I want to preface this by saying that it just happened to work out that I needed a guest host this week and the absence of Todd and James on this week’s show is not directly related to how bitter I still am at them both for not sharing any of the Schlussel altbier with me and keeping it all to themselves… I know, I know – that seemed pretty bitter and WAAAAY too coincidental, but it’s true. Todd was out of town, James was still at the beach, Joe was running Homebrew Supply and I needed to record this week’s content a week early because, as you’re reading this, I am sitting on the sands of South Padre Island enjoying from Fruh Kolsch or Altstadt Alt (which is an incredible altbier but isn’t Schlussel… but I’m not bitter about it… no, really…)!
Fortunately, for us all, our buddy and long time homebrewer, Jason Chalifour, graciously joined me to help take your questions. Jason, as you may remember, also happens to be a sales executive with Muntons and so I’ve typecasted him as “the malt guy” and, again, he was nice enough to oblige. We catch up with what he’s been brewing, his set up, and we discuss a question on recipe building and choosing a base malt.
I had a ton of fun with Jason and really do hope to have him on again in the near future, especially since I hold grudges for so long and who knows when I’ll forgive Todd and James?!

Future proofing your brewing set up and is it necessary to take gravity readings with extract brewing? — Ep. 143
Aug 01, 2019
How’s it hanging, Homebrewer?
– Thank you for tuning in to our home brewing podcast –
and we welcome you to the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
James is at the beach but Todd joined me to talk recent brew days, MY upcoming beach trip ( insert smiley face here) as well as take YOUR questions on home brewing beer!
Specifically, we discuss some best practices for a listener who is wanting to “future proof” her brewing set up but still be practical and not break the bank. We also take a question from a listener who brews extract recipes only and isn’t sure how important it is for her to be taking gravity readings throughout her brew day (Spoiler alert: you SHOULD be taking readings!).
It’s always blast hanging with Todd!

Lagering a Kölsch and making a yeast starter directly in the bucket — Ep. 141
Jul 18, 2019
Willkommen, Hausbrauer!
– We thank you for tuning in to our home brewing podcast –
and we welcome you to the Homebrew Happy Hour podcast, the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Todd is back! Man, if I had a nickel for every “Todd is back!” intro I had to write over the years for this show, I’d have a lot of nickels. Dude is always doing something – busy guy! Anyway, the bummer though is that James couldn’t be on this week’s show because his computer took a dump last week… but, fear not, we’ll all be on together again very soon and actually have a very fun episode planned for next week as we get to have our German buddy from CMB, Stephan Becker, back on the show!
On this week’s show, Todd and I discuss one of my favorite styles in the world, the Kölsch! Specifically, we tackle a question regarding the lagering process and, believe it or not, Todd doesn’t get angry at me as I fawn over Kölsch all episode long. We also take a question on making a starter in a unique way; directly in the fermenataion vessel that this person is going to end us using (bucket or carboy). Neither one of us had even considered this method but it was actually a lot of fun to discuss!

Switching from gas to electric brewing and cold fermentation equipment recommendations — Ep. 140
Jul 11, 2019
Greetings, fellow homebrewer!
– We thank you for tuning in to our home brew podcast –
and we welcome you BACK to our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast, the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
We’re back on schedule with another Q&A show for your listening pleasure. Todd, believe it or not, is OUT again… Side note — some of you are starting to think we left him in Rhode Island and are concerned for his well being, but I can reassure you that none of us are the beneficiaries of any type of insurance policy on him so we have no reason to have left him behind! Kidding aside — he’s actually doing manual labor as you’re reading this, fixing up things he’s been putting off and so he couldn’t be bothered to hang with us… ANYWAY
James is a saint and joins me today to discuss a couple of equipment-centric questions. James, as you probably already know, is a wealth of knowledge and I love these 1-on-1 shows we get to do together every now and then because I don’t have to worry about getting interrupted by Todd!
We want to hear from you!

Homebrewer Showcase: Hanging out with my Pop! — Ep. 139

Howdy there, Homebrewer!
– We thank you for tuning in to our homebrew podcast –
and we welcome you BACK to our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast, the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
Can you believe that we’re publishing TWO episodes this week? WOWZERS! No… actually, I felt really bad that we didn’t publish a proper episode last week (when we were at HomebrewCon) nor did we publish one a couple of weeks ago (when I was sick)… so, Happy Birthday America!
For this week, I sit down with my brew partner and one of my best friends – my Dad! It worked out since I was already hanging out with him for our 4th of July celebrations so I just set up the microphones and decided to discuss our brewing history together and what’s coming up for us. I may have also side-tracked a bunch but… to be fair… that isn’t abnormal for this show!
So, please enjoy this special one-off episode with me and my Pop.
We want to hear from you!

On Today’s Show:
We’re BACK (that’s two “BACK”s in all caps already so you know it’s gonna be a good show) from Providence, Rhode Island and here to discuss the fun we had at HomebrewCon 2019! TL;DR version: it rocked. Longer version: we had such an amazing time meeting more members of the homebrewing community and also connecting with the TONS of YOU who showed up and stopped by our booth. It was incredibly humbling and encouraging to meet you all and receive your feedback and support of the show. Honestly – I joke all the time but I can’t thank you enough for making this podcast my favorite thing to do with my time.
So, yeah. This episode is literally a beginning-to-end recap of our time in Rhode Island where we discuss what we loved about HomebrewCon, and what we are looking forward to next year in Nashville! Since Nashville is a more centralized location, we hope that even MORE of you can make it out and hang out with us (and, really – drink all the beer we bring).
I know I’m happy to be home though and excited to share with you about our experiences on today’s episode.

You may have noticed (and I’m assuming you did based on the hundreds of comments, emails, or social media messages lol) that we didn’t publish an episode last week. First — I am very sorry for that! We usually record on Thursdays and we’ve been so swamped getting our stuff together for HomebrewCon and then I got terribly sick mid-week last week so we didn’t get to record at all. Second — we still had to get the booth packed so, in my sickened stupor, I packed all of our mobile podcast gear without thinking that we needed it for this week’s show! I know, friend… I know.
THANKFULLY, I have all of my studio set up ready to go and our buddy Kenny Highman (aka – The Brewer of Seville) agreed on short notice to come on the show!
So, join Kenny and I as we talk about the upcoming HomebrewCon in Rhode Island, what he’s been up to, his recent GRAND PRIZE WINNING beer label from Brew Your Own Magazine, and lots more. I had a genuine blast with Kenny and I am so happy he was able to hang out!

Brewing a style that you’ve never tasted before and bottling from a keg — Ep. 136
Jun 07, 2019
Aloha, friend!
– We thank you for tuning in to our homebrew podcast –
Welcome to the Homebrew Happy Hour,the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and we discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
A last minute change due to James having to help a customer of his led to me frantically hitting up my short list of folks who could hop in and help for this week’s episode. I wasn’t even thinking about bothering Todd with this but, funny enough, he happened to text me so I asked and he obliged! It was great catching up with Todd as he’s wrapping up his family vacation in Hawaii and it was even greater that he was able to help me address your questions since it would’ve been super scary for me to try and take them by myself. I’m a much better moderator that helps keep the conversation going between the three of us than I am an actual knowledge bank of homebrewing FAQ. Regardless, this week’s show is pack full of great info and we hope you enjoy it!

We are the Homebrew Happy Hour,the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and we discuss all things related to craft beer!
On Today’s Show:
School is out for most kiddos so that means vacations are starting to take place. Specifically, Todd’s kids are out of school so he took off with his family to Hawaii for a lovely two week vacation where he’s been sending us lots of pics and describing the delicious beers he is enjoying. I haven’t been jealous at all (I’m lying). With Todd gone, that means you have the pleasure of listening to me ask James for his help as we tackle your questions on this week’s episode including a question on the German purity law for beer as well as a question about how James modded our in-house Mash & Boil unit. It worked out great because the questions on today’s show are right up James’s alley and we ended up having a real fun time!

Happy National Homebrew Day! — Ep. 132

How are you doing today, our homebrewing friend?!
– We welcome and thank you for tuning in to our homebrew podcast –
and we thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrew questions and we discuss all things related to craft beer!
Tuesday of this week was “National Homebrew Day” and last week I had solicited from you all to leave us a voicemail or a text message at 325-305-6107 telling us what you love about homebrewing. The only issue was that our voicemail inbox wasn’t working and I only found out because a handful of you guys reached out to let me know! I was able to get your messages via text and also email so we did get to include you guys and I appreciate every one of you who did submit input. I’m sorry I couldn’t include but a handful of your messages but, good for you, Todd was still OK with me giving EVERYONE who messaged a Kegconnection gift card… so, there is that!
On Today’s Show:
Alongside your messages for National Homebrew Day, we also took a question that was about our brewing experience. It’s always nice for me to hear Todd and James remissness about their brewing past and I genuinely enjoy hearing their stories and how far they’ve come in their brewing styles.
We want to hear from you!

How mash times and temps affect your beer and selection hops for recipes — Ep. 131

Happy to see you here, Homebrewer!
– We welcome and thank you for tuning in to our homebrew podcast –

ALSO: This is a heads up that we finally have our HomebrewCon booth number! Come visit us this year in Providence, Rhode Island during the 2019 National Homebrew Convention from June 27-29th at booth # 719. We’ll have more info coming soon on how you can sign up for some freebies from us and we may even organize a meetup with you all while we’re hanging in Providence. We’re VERY excited and can’t wait to meet you all in person and share our booth’s beer with you.
On Today’s Show:
Todd (Kegconnection) and James (CMBecker) join me again on the show to help answer all of your homebrewing questions! The first question asks about what exactly might happen if you mash at warmer or colder than recommended temperatures. Also, what should be expected if you mash for longer or shorter than the recommended amount of time? It’s a great question that we (and by we, I mean James) had a great time discussing. Also, there was a question about how to choose hops when crafting a recipe and I actually learned a lot listening to Todd and James (and by “Todd and James” you know I really only mean James) discuss what they do for recipe building. All-in-all, we’re very excited to present this week’s show to you!

Yeast temperature ranges and tips for selecting yeast in a recipe kit — Ep. 130
Apr 25, 2019
Happy Friday, Homebrewer!
– We welcome and thank you for tuning in to our homebrew podcast –
Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrew questions and we discuss all things related to craft beer!
We hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend last week with lots of time with family and delicious homebrew. I was lucky enough to have LOTS of homebrew on tap – my aunt & uncle brewed a California Common and it was ready by Easter Sunday and then my pop and I also took our homebrewed IPA with us to the family gathering and it was a big hit too. Too much fun, friends!
On Today’s Show:
I’ve been spoiled rotten lately having both Todd (Kegconnection) and James (CMBecker) on the show to help answer all of your brewing questions. On this episode, we received two questions recently regarding yeast. One asks about what to expect when you ferment a beer near the lower temperature spectrum recommended by that yeast company versus the higher temperature end of the spectrum. The other question asks very plainly – how do you know which yeast to choose when there’s so many options?! It can be overwhelming but, hopefully, we provide some clarity for you today.

Managing foam on your home draft beer system — Ep. 129
Apr 18, 2019
Hey hey hey, our homebrewing friend!
– We welcome and thank you for tuning in to our homebrew podcast –
Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrew questions and we discuss all things related to craft beer!
With Easter coming soon (as in, a day or two from when we’re publishing this!), we hope you have a wonderfully relaxing weekend with your friends and/or family or even by yourself! I know that, for me personally, I’m super excited because my Dad and I will be sharing our first all-grain recipe we brewed together with our extended family at our Easter gathering. My family loves IPAs (what’s wrong with them, amirite?) so I’m hoping that they’ll love the one we brewed. I think it turned out great but you can probably relate to me in that I think EVERYTHING I do turns out great. I’m just |a little| narcissistic… that’s all!
On Today’s Show:
Todd (Kegconnection) recently received an email from a listener and customer who has been having some foaming issues on one of their kegs, even after switching to CMB flow control faucets. This got Todd thinking and so we take the question and also elaborate on the most common issues that draft systems face specifically in regards to controlling foam and maintaining a proper pour for your beer. Of course, we also have James (CMBecker) and on the show since it’s always his faucets we recommend as solutions so he brings some valuable insight into the world of flow control solutions. As usual, I’m just here to facilitate.

I love this time of the year. The weather is reasonably pleasant (i.e – not too hot or too cold for comfortable outside brewing!), the flowers are blooming, and it’s the beginning of tradeshow season for the craft beer and homebrewing industries! As you already know, we’ll be in beautiful Providence, Rhode Island, at the end of June and we really do hope to see you there. This week is also a big week for the industry as it’s the annual Craft Brewers Conference in Denver, CO, which is where Todd happens to be right now!
On Today’s Show:
Todd (Kegconnection) calls in from Denver, Colorado to give James (CMBecker) and myself a recap of what he experienced during the Craft Brewers Conference. It’s hard work he does for our show but somebody has to do it… Also, James and I take YOUR questions on homebrew shelf life when your beer is kegged, and we also discuss what we do when we want to use specific ingredients but might have to substitute due to limited availability. We had a blast recording this week’s episode and hope you enjoy it as well.

Transporting your homebrew to an event and building out your first kegerator — Ep. 127
Apr 04, 2019
Hello friend and fellow homebrewer!
– We welcome and thank you for tuning in to our podcast –
Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the show where we answer YOUR questions about homebrewing and commercial craft beer. You may have noticed that we released TWO “episodes” this week. OK, the first one really shouldn’t count because it was an abomination and awful attempt at providing some April Fool’s day content… but… BUT, some positive feedback I did get from that was that the fake ad bumper we produced might actually work if we ever wanted to use it for real. So, there’s that.
On Today’s Show:
On to things that actually matter! Todd (President and Chief Keg Washer at Kegconnection) and James (Director of Operations at CMBecker and overall handsome man) join me today for the 127th episode of our podcast. We take a question from a listener who has been asked to provide the beer for an event coming up and he’s wondering what’s the best way he can transport the beer to the event with minimal adversity. We also take a question from someone who is done bottling and is ready to keg (brilliant choice, if you ask us). She’s wanting to dispense the beer through a kegerator/keezer and we talk about the various ways she can achieve that.
We want to hear from you!

In honor of us still being a show and taking over 3 years to produce 126 episodes (a weekly show, mind you… don’t do the math on how long we went where we didn’t make any new episodes…), we decided to treat you to a little behind the scenes sneak peek. In this special episode, we’re sharing with you some of our ideas from the past that we never felt comfortable implementing, format changes we ALMOST made, and a look at our potential future as we aim to monetize the bejeezus out of this show! We hope you enjoy this April 1st special edition episode of our podcast

TODD IS BACK! Woohoo! Todd Burns (President and Chief Keg Washer at Kegconnection) joins myself and Ladik Joe Ermis (Dir. of Operations at Homebrew Supply) to bring you our 126th episode of our show. This week, we enjoyed a wonderful evening of beer tastings (also known as research and development *wink* *wink*) that we recap at the top of the show. Then, we take a question about making clone recipes and some thoughts behind what goes in to creating accurate clone recipes. We had an absolute BLAST this week and I’m, personally, excited to present this to you.

Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! This is the show where we answer YOUR questions about homebrewing and commercial craft beer.

On Today’s Show:
Fan favorite, Ladik Joe Ermis joins me once again for this week’s episode. I know I’ve said this a million times but I’m super grateful for my peers, like Joe, who are so willing to come on the show on short notice and help me answer your questions. Joe is also known as the IPA guy around here and he’s the man behind the recipe that my dad and I brewed for our first all-grain brew day so I was glad to update him on the success of how that beer turned out!

Brewing more frequently and a question on sanitation — Ep. 124
Mar 15, 2019
Hey hey hey, it’s another episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour!
– We welcome and thank you for tuning in to our podcast –
Thank you for joining us once again for the Homebrew Happy Hour show! I’d like to start this week’s show, again, by THANKING you all for the tremendous amount of love you’ve sent Todd’s way. Our email inbox, Facebook inbox, Instagram inbox, and YouTube comments have been full of your support and words of encouragement and condolences for Todd and Liz regarding the recent loss of their son and we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You guys are truly the best community we could ever ask for and we can’t thank you enough for that.
On Today’s Show
James Carlson from CMBecker International joins me to take your questions on this week’s show. Specifically, we’re talking about how a homebrewer can increase the frequency of their brew days (or the amount of beers they brew every month) and we also field a question about sanitation. James is the perfect person for these questions because 1) He brews all the time AND he is a stickler for sanitation and 2) because he knows way more than I do about every topic so, obviously, he’s the perfect person for me to ask these questions to.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all the love and support you’ve been showing us. On that note, I selfishly ask that you please send love and support to our own Todd Burns. Shortly before he was scheduled to fly out of the country for a business trip with James to Germany, he got a phone call that no parent should ever receive. Todd and Liz’s son, their oldest child, Kyle, had passed away unexpectedly late Monday evening. Todd and Liz have been like parents to me over the past decade and we’re all so heart broken over the loss of Kyle. Obviously, Todd wasn’t able to join this week’s episode and, honestly, I’m not sure when he’ll be back but please keep him and his entire family in your prayers. Kyle left behind a ton of people who loved him dearly and we’re going to miss him so much.
On Today’s Show
It’s super hard for me to segue from something so heavy and serious (because I’m an awkward dude) but we do have a great show lined up for you this week. Ladik Joe Ermis from Homebrew Supply joined me and helped answer your questions. We address a homebrewer who already brews small 1 gallon batches but is looking to scale up to 2.5 gallons and wants to know the best way to do so. We also take a voicemail question asking about fresh hops versus pellet hops. I can’t tell you how appreciative I am that Joe was able to join me so last minute! I really think you’re going to enjoy this episode.

Fixing a flat beer and a question on achieving clarity — HHH Ep.122
Mar 01, 2019
It’s another week and another episode of our homebrew podcast!
Thank you for joining us on the Homebrew Happy Hour! One consistent feedback that we receive here is that many listeners wished we produced our show more frequently than just once per week. I can’t tell you enough how flattering that is and how much we truly appreciate you listening/watching AND, apparently, enjoying the show. It boggles my mind!
On Today’s Show
Todd is out sick with some sort of terrible cold so James joins me to discuss your homebrewing-related questions. Specifically, we discuss a question from a listener who transferred beer from one pin lock corny keg to a different ball lock corny keg and, mysteriously, it caused his beer to go completely flat! We also address a question about achieving clarity with your beer. Literally, making a clear beer – not some mental enlightenment achievement or something, although maybe we could address that too on a future episode?

Homebrewer Showcase: A Conversation with Kenny Highman — HHH Ep. 121
Feb 21, 2019
Hey there, homebrewer!
Welcome back to our little homebrew podcast
I’d like to start this episode with praising today’s guest, Kenny Highman from “The Brewer of Seville“, for being an awesome interviewee and also a saint of patience!
In case you didn’t already know, we record this show earlier in the week and then after some touching up (i.e- automated audio processing to make us sound better than we really should), we then publish the show. In the 121 episodes of just this show that I’ve produced, we’ve maybe had bad enough technical difficulties or one of us will flub bad enough that we have to stop recording and fix the issue. I never (and I mean NEVER) really even bring that up with guests but before recording today’s show I happened to mention to Kenny that “in case we flub, we can stop and fix the issue. no worries because it NEVER happens!”… my subtle smugness would prove to be my downfall because poor Kenny had to hang out with me for over an hour just to produce the content for today’s show! The good news is that Kenny is a blast to hang out with and I am super happy that I got to know him better even thru all my technical difficulties and flubs.
On Today’s Show
Kenny, also know as The Brewer of Seville, joins me to talk about his homebrewing journey. This is another edition of our “Homebrewer Showcase” and the more I produce these episodes, the more I’m really enjoying them. Kenny hasn’t been homebrewing for a very long time but you can tell throughout this episode that he’s zealous for the craft and it’s exciting to see what he’s doing. I am confident that you’re going to enjoy this podcast episode!

Tips for avoiding stuck sparges and a question on keezer builds — HHH Ep. 120
Feb 15, 2019
Howdy friends and welcome back to our little homebrew podcast
We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Valentine’s day with your loved one and/or your favorite brew! Also, we hope you’ve got some brew days planned for the near future. My pop and I will finally be brewing our first all grain batch together in our new Cooler Brew system this coming weekend. To say that I’m excited would be a huge under-statement. We’ll be brewing an IPA like I discussed last week with Joe from Homebrew Supply and I’ll definitely keep you in the loop on how it turns out!
On Today’s Show
Todd and James are back with me to take your homebrew related questions. First, we discuss tips for avoiding stuck sparges on your brew day. Then, we answer a question seeking advice on building out a kegerator or keezer. It’s my favorite kind of episode to do with Todd and James because these types of questions are perfect for them and I get to sit back and pretend like I know what I’m talking about – it’s great!

How to increase the ABV of your brew and making an Electric Jellyfish IPA clone — HHH Ep. 119
Feb 08, 2019
It’s another episode of your favorite craft beer podcast!
A listener recently pointed out to me that it’s slightly redundant that we call ourselves a podcast about homebrew and craft beer, when homebrewed beer SHOULD be considered craft beer, so I’ve adjusted the headline of these show notes to only say “craft beer podcast” and we’ll probably discuss this topic on a future episode where I’ll go down a million unrelated rabbit holes and end up back to where we started… SPEAKING OF WHICH… thank you for joining us for this week’s episode! It’s our usual Q&A style but joining me this week is our favorite guy from HomebrewSupply.com, Mr. Ladik Joe Ermis. We’ve had Joe on a bunch and I’m super excited he was able to join me again to help tackle your homebrew-related questions!
On Today’s Show
I know we talk about submitting your questions via voicemail or text EVERY episode but I’ve been a terrible host and really slacked on actually using your voicemail submitted questions so that changes today. Using the voicemail hotline @ 325-305-6107, Aaron asked us a question about increasing the ABV of his homebrew. Joe has some great advice for Aaron and anyone else looking to do the same. We also took a question from Jeff who, upon learning that we’re (more or less) based out of the Austin area, asked how he could brew one of his favorite local beers from Pinthouse Pizza, their “Electric Jellyfish IPA”. Joe and I discuss the style and we’ve even included a recipe for it below. If you ever do visit Austin, Pinthouse Pizzas is definitely a place you need to check out!

Electric Jellyfish IPA (clone recipe)
Do extended mash times result in off flavors and a question on using DME in cool water — HHH Ep. 118
Feb 01, 2019
Welcome back to our homebrew podcast!
It’s the final show of January 2019 and you know what that means — TODD IS ALMOST FREE! His pledge to being “dry” for the entire month is basically over and we actually discuss a little spoiler about his final dry January moments. We also talk about the incredible ESB that is finally gone from Todd’s kegerator (the same ESB we brewed in this featured “Brew Day” video) and also Todd and James give me advice on what style should be the first one my dad and I brew in an upcoming brew day.
On Today’s Show
We’re proud to present to you another fun filled Q&A episode where we take YOUR questions about homebrewing or craft beer. This is a great time for me to remind you that if we take your question and answer it on air, we (rather, ME ) will send you a $25 gift card good towards the sponsor of that week’s show. It’s a great way for you to get your question answered and earn free money! With that out of the way, today’s show discusses what, if any, might happen if you do an extended (90’ish minutes) mash versus the traditional 60 minute mash and if it will result in off-flavors. We also discuss a question asking about what might happen if, during a partial mash brew day, you were to add your DME (dry malt extract) to the water PRIOR to heating up the water (which would also mean adding it PRIOR to steeping your specialty grains). It’s an interesting question and we really enjoyed the conversation it sparked!

Lagering in a keg and a discussion on the differences between base malts — HHH Ep. 117
Jan 25, 2019
It’s almost the end of January and Todd is still dry.
In case you haven’t been keeping up; Todd made a pledge to not drink a single beer (actually, to not have a single drink of any alcohol) for the entire month of January. Believe it or not, he’s kept to it which is way better than how I’m keeping up with my resolution to work out more and quit eating breakfast cereal for every meal. ANYWAY – We’re super proud of Todd but he has assured me that the first episode of February will be a wonderful return for him so we are definitely looking forward to that.
On Today’s Show
Today’s show is a fantastic Q&A episode discussing your questions about lagering in a keg as well as the differences in base malts. Many folks like to simplify their brew process and fermenting in a keg is an extremely common practice, but what about lagering in a keg? Do you lager/cold crash/cold condition your beers at all? Then we dive into the surface level of base malts and their differences. This is when I should mention how grateful I am for James and Todd’s knowledge because I was totally ready to just Google this question and read off a screen but my favorite co-hosts were able to join me for this week’s episode!

Best shank size when building a keezer and our “unpopular opinions” about craft beer — HHH Ep. 116
Jan 18, 2019
What a great time to be a homebrewer, don’t you agree?
I know, I know, I say that all the time on the show, but I genuinely mean it. We have access to the most information ever available in human history, not to mention access to the best ingredients ever available in human history. (and pretty much on demand all year round for the most part, which is stinking incredible when you think about it) Plus, we have access to the best podcast about homebrewing ever produced in the history of civilization. I am, of course, referring to The BeerSmith Podcast, in case you were wondering.
Kidding aside, we’re so happy to present today’s show to you! We start off with a question about what “unpopular opinions” we may have towards homebrewing or craft beer in general. We had posed this question to you all earlier this week and after reading many of your replies, I’ve come to the conclusion that maybe some of the opinions we here at Homebrew Happy Hour hold aren’t as unpopular as we thought! Then we also take a question on best shank size practices when building out a keezer.

Chit Chat about Cider with Heidi from West Coast Witches Brewing — HHH Ep. 114
Jan 04, 2019
It’s our first episode of the new year!
With that being said, happy 2019 homebrewer! We hope that you had a wonderful holiday season and that 2019 is treating you well so far. For us, it’s always a crazy busy time of the year but in the best of ways!
Due to the crazy busyness of the moment, Todd and James had to sit this week’s episode out. Fortunately, Joshua was joined by Heidi from West Coast Witches Brewing in a last minute hail Mary to come do a follow up interview on what she’s been up to. Amazingly, a LOT has been going on for her over the last 15’ish weeks since we last had her on the show. She’s launched a sweet new Patreon, a fantastic new podcast, she’s producing lots of new video content, and is also now the California rep for the Cider Scene website. So… yeah, LOTS going on and we cover it all on this our first episode of 2019!

Homebrewer Showcase: A Conversation with Brandon Allen — HHH Ep. 113
Dec 21, 2018
Hey there, homebrewer!
Our show today is another special episode where we feature one of YOU, a wonderful member of the homebrewing community. Joining Joshua on today’s show is Brandon Allen. Brandon is a young Indiana homebrewer who, like Joshua, brews with his father and is an active member of his local homebrew club. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting Brandon in person at this year’s Homebrew Convention in Portland and we’ve also been lucky (HUGE emphasis on LUCKY) to have tasted plenty of Brandon’s homebrew and, trust us – it is solid! He favors Belgian styles, brews on The Grainfather, and has been a longtime listener of the show… suffice to say, he’s awesome!

Doing extended boils on extract brew days and a question on carbonation issues when serving — HHH Ep. 112
Dec 14, 2018
Hello there and welcome back to our homebrewing podcast!
Todd is out for today’s show so, lucky for you, Joshua and James bring you the answers to your homebrewing questions.
On today’s episode, we specifically discuss a question on the benefits (if any) that come from doing extended boils on higher ABV extract recipes PLUS we take a question from a listener who can’t quite figure out why his beer is “flattening” when serving even though his carb levels appear to be normal and there isn’t a known present leak.

Can yeast help make my IPA hazy and a question on cooling the wort — HHH Ep. 111
Dec 07, 2018
Happy Friday our Homebrewing Friends!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Beer is being brewed, beer is being shared, and the craft of homebrewing is growing thanks to the wonderful people in our community like yourself.
It’s also the most wonderful time of the year because we have been on a huge brewing kick lately so we’ve got just about 40+ gallons of beer around the offices in fermenters or being kegged… and that’s something to be thankful for!
On today’s episode, we take your questions including one on whether or not using a specific yeast can help make the haze for a person’s Double IPA and we also discuss cooling the wort and the cold break process.

Should you tell the bar or brewery when you taste an off-flavor plus a question on using over-sized kettles when extract brewing — HHH Ep. 110
Nov 29, 2018
Welcome back to another episode of our homebrew podcast!
Thanksgiving is over and we’re stuffed. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and loved ones and we hope you also were able to score some sweet homebrewing supplies during the madness that was Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend! We’d be remiss if we also didn’t mention how thankful we are for you as a listener and supporter of our show. We still don’t fully understand what you like about this show but we’ll keep producing it if you’ll keep listening!
On today’s episode we take our first voicemail call from a listener who experienced off-flavors while recently visiting an out-of-town bar and he was wondering what OUR approach would be when informing the bar or brewery about an off-flavor. We also discuss a question from a listener who bought a 15 gallon kettle even though they’re still doing 5 gallon extract batches and he’s curious if he should use a smaller kettle or what options he has so he doesn’t have to shelve his awesome new 15 gallon Spike kettle for the time being.

Tips for moving up to all-grain from extract brewing and advice for the new homebrewer — HHH Ep. 109
Nov 22, 2018
Howdy and happy Thanksgiving, friends!
We’re back from our recent trip to Germany and Prague for the BrauBeviale 2018 and we had a blast. Due to someone’s poor planning and due diligence (not naming names since I’m the one who writes these show notes…;) – joshua ) we didn’t publish an episode last week but we’ve got a great show for you today!
On today’s show, we discuss a question asking for tips on moving up from extract brewing to all-grain brewing and if the “traditional” route of using coolers and kettles versus using electric all-in-one solutions like The Grainfather. We also give advice to another listener who is brand new to the hobby and is considering starting his homebrewing journey!

A Discussion on All-in-One All-Grain Brewing: Mash & Boil vs Robobrew vs The Grainfather — HHH Ep. 108
Nov 08, 2018
Hello and happy Friday to you, our favorite homebrewer!
Studies have shown that speaking more broadly yet directly to your audience is supposed to help them connect with you so I figured I’d butter you up and call you “our favorite homebrewer” because I just know that the person taking the time to read this is definitely my favorite person. Unless you’re Rob from accounting. If it’s Rob from accounting then just know that I can’t stand you.
ANYWAY! Welcome back to another fun-filled episode of our show. We’ve teased this episode before and it’s finally here; a discussion and comparison of the Mash & Boil versus the Robobrew versus The Grainfather!

Limiting moisture in your kegerator to prevent mold and brewing a marshmallow milk stout — HHH Ep. 107
Nov 02, 2018
Welcome back, homebrewer!
Thank you for joining us on another fun filled episode of our homebrewing podcast.
Here in Texas it is FINALLY starting to consistently feel like fall and that means our outside brew days are starting to FINALLY be more comfortable. On this episode we discuss some methods to help prevent mold in your kegerator (spoiler – moisture happens so cleanliness is of the utmost importance!) and we also take a question on brewing a marshmallow milk stout (which sounds incredibly delicious).

Homebrewer Showcase: A Conversation with Andrew Stutzman — HHH Ep. 104
Oct 12, 2018
What is going on, friends?!
Welcome to episode 104 is here and we’re extremely excited about today’s show.
The reason is that it’s the FIRST of many of its kind. We’ve been saying for a while how much we LOVE the homebrewing community and, specifically, how much we LOVE you all for taking time out of your week to hang out and listen to us goofs talk beer and chit chat. With that being said, we want to feature YOU on episodes of our show to learn more about your history as a homebrewer, what got you into the craft, who your inspiration is (the right answer is Joshua, obviously), and it’s a chance for you to discuss what you’re doing with homebrewing.
So this first episode features a conversation with longtime listener and friend of the show, Andrew Stutzman. Andrew is a young guy who has been infatuated with craft beer and homebrew for around five years. He is incredibly bright and knows his stuff! He also just got back from an awesome European “beercation” with his girlfriend that we discuss in full detail. It may be a long episode but it’s definitely worth your time!

Welcome back to another episode of our podcast!
Episode 103 of the Homebrew Happy Hour podcast is here for your listening AND viewing pleasure!

Believe it or not, it wasn’t a total cluster-you-know-what either! Heeeey!
Episode 102 features a fun conversation about base grains versus specialty grains in regards to how they’re used and specifically the differences in their fermentable sugars plus we take a question from a listener on brewing with blue berries.

A conversation about cider with Heidi from West Coast Witches Brewing! — HHH Ep. 101
Sep 21, 2018
Welcome to episode 101 of our little homebrew podcast!
Episode 100 last week may have had some snafus, but 101 should really be the standard we live by from now on regarding our video episode efforts! This week’s episode features a conversation with Heidi from West Coast Witches Brewing. Heidi is a homebrewer that specializes in cider! She brews, does tastings, cider reviews, and basically is who we will be going to from now on when we have questions about cider.

An interview with Phil and Jason from Muntons Malt — HHH Ep. 099
Sep 07, 2018
Hey friends! Thanks for joining us and our little homebrew podcast
Can you believe that it’s already episode 99?! Next week we’ll be starting the next chapter of our show which means we’ll be including a VIDEO VERSION of each episode as well as our standard audio-only release. We figure that best case – some of you will watch and not judge us for our made-for-radio faces. Worst case – the feedback cripples us and we retreat to our rooms in the fetal position.
IN THE MEANTIME… we are so happy to present this week’s episode to you. Phil and Jason from Muntons joined us to record this from Todd’s ranch (so pardon the slight echo present) to discuss their company history and what the future looks like for Muntons. Spoiler: the future is looking great for them!

Aug 24, 2018
Hey there homebrewer and welcome back to our homebrew podcast!
Joshua, James, AND Todd are back together on this episode (even though Todd is leaving us again for next week heading out to California… spoiler alert: Joshua wasn’t invited on the trip) and taking YOUR homebrew related questions.
Specifically, the guys discuss brewing a Kolsch and Altbier and having a set up that is good for cooler fermentations and lagering. They also take a question on kegerator faucets and, if you know Todd and James at all, then you already know that they have a ton to say about that topic so we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

Fermenters: Plastic vs Glass vs Stainless Steel and a question on cleaning & sanitizing practices — HHH Ep. 096
Aug 17, 2018
Howdy friends and welcome back to our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!
In this episode, James is still on vacation and Todd had a meeting so Joshua begged Joe to join him and, thankfully, he obliged.
It’s a good thing Joe joined today’s show because it is a Q&A and with James out, we needed an adequate expert to replace him. Joe (and Joshua, sort of) take your questions today on comparing the various fermenters available (plastic vs glass vs stainless steel) as well as a question on cleaning and sanitizing practices. There’s lots of good information on today’s show and we’re very excited to be sharing it with you!

Tasting homebrew from a listener and discussing running long liquid lines from cooler to faucets — HHH Ep. 095
Aug 10, 2018
Welcome back to another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!
James is on vacation so Joshua and Todd step up to the plate to take your questions on today’s show!
Actually – today’s show is filled with much more beer tasting and kicking the can rather than actually addressing your technical questions about brewing but we think it came out alright! Specifically, a long time listener of the show sent in some of his own homebrew for us to taste so we thought that there was no better place to do the tasting than on an episode of our podcast (spoiler: the beer was phenomenal and we raved on and on about both styles he sent in).

An Interview with John Blichmann from Blichmann Engineering — HHH Ep. 094
Aug 03, 2018
Welcome back to another fun-filled episode of our homebrewing podcast!
Today’s show officially wraps up our #HomebrewCon 2018 content! We saved the best for last (as James would definitely call it) and have a wonderful interview with the self-professed “Supreme Commander” at Blichmann Engineering; Mr. John Blichmann himself!
Unless you are BRAND new to homebrewing, you probably already have an understanding of Blichmann products. Renowned in our industry for high-quality kettles, burners, brew systems, and more, Blichmann has been around for a while and we definitely had some fanboy moments having John on the show. John Blichmann is, easily, one of the most laid back and enjoyable people you’ll ever meet in the industry so we’re extremely proud and excited to present this interview to you all!

An Interview with Owen Lingley from Imperial Yeast — HHH Ep. 093
Jul 27, 2018
Sorry for the break but your favorite homebrew podcast is back!
It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve published new content so 1) we apologize and 2) can we chalk it up to being Summer?!
Actually — Todd and Joshua were out of country and Joshua (who may or may not be writing this in the third person right now) had some equipment failures and obtaining the original sound files for our HomebrewCon interviews became much more difficult than it should have been. The sound file for this first episode from HomebrewCon still has a little bit of fuzz to it but we know you’re still going to enjoy this interview with Owen Lingley from Imperial Yeast.
If you don’t already know Imperial Yeast AND you’re a homebrewer, you need to change that. Imperial Yeast is doing fantastic things up there in Portland and we can speak from first hand experience that their yeast is legit. We mean — seeing activity within a few hours legit. Honestly we have nothing but praise for their product and, now after visiting them, we can also say that we have nothing but praise for their hospitality and the way they are running their business.

First off – we had a BLAST! Wow! Homebrew Con 2018 was incredible and it’s all thanks to the efforts of the AHA and, of course, the amazing community of homebrewers including yourself. It was so much fun serving our (and by “our” I mean James, Todd, and Joe’s) beer and meeting you all who made it up to Portland and also came over to our booth. On today’s show, we discuss our Homebrew Con 2018 experience. There’s a lot to discuss so today’s show happens to be almost 50 minutes long *gasp* ! This is the closest we’ve come to being an actual hour than ever, I think?

Aerating wort using bernzomatic oxygen cylinders PLUS a question on using a bucket without a sealed lid or an airlock for fermentation — HHH Ep. 084
May 04, 2018
Todd’s gone to Craft Brewer’s Conference so Joshua & James are in charge!
Once you saw that James is on this episode, you sighed a sigh of relief, right? Joking aside, Todd just got back into town from Nashville after attending the 2018 Craft Brewer’s Conference so we allowed him to recover (he actually burst in to James’ office during the show before realizing we started recording without him!) while we took your questions.
With that being said, today’s show is another Q&A taking your questions on aerating your wort using oxygen and, specifically, oxygen from a bernzomatic cylinder (what they also refer to as “not food grade”) and also a question on fermenting with a bucket that doesn’t have either a sealed lid nor an airlock. We also small talk on the upcoming HomebrewCon and make some jokes at Todd’s expense (hey, if you’re absent from the show then you’re fair game!).

Welcome back to one of the top 1000 shows about homebrewing!
We don’t actually know if there’s even 1000 podcasts out there about homebrewing, but we are confident that we’re in the top 1K if there does happen to be.
Kidding aside, we have a wonderful episode to present to you today. Todd is out of town again (we’ll go ahead and give him kudos since he took his wife to go see Elton John in Vegas, so we can’t hate on him too much) so it’s a Q&A show with Joshua and James! On today’s show, we take your questions regarding “What is secondary fermentation?!” and also “Does fluctuating temps really matter during fermentation?”.

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)

Jan 26, 2018
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!

A fun discussion on faucets and flow control! — HHH Ep. 070
Jan 12, 2018
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!

Explaining step mashing and a conversation on calculating yeast pitching rates — HHH Ep. 068
Dec 15, 2017
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.

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!)

A message from your favorite co-host, Joshua
Dec 01, 2017
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]!

Oct 27, 2017
Greetings homebrewers!
We hope you had a wonderful week and are ready for another fantastic episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!
For today’s show, Joshua traveled solo down to the amazing city of San Antonio, Texas to talk with an industry professional we’ve been wanting on the show for a long time! You may already recognize Michael Ferguson as the host of tv’s “Beer Geeks” but there is, undoubtedly, lots more you don’t know about Michael and we try our best to unravel his story within our limited time on today’s show.

Howdy friends and welcome to another fun filled fantasticly fabulous Friday episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast! Alliteration aside, we hope you’re enjoying your day as we much as we are!

Questions today include “When using a keggle to brew, which do you think is more likely to cause scorching: electric elements or a high BTU gas set up?” and a listener asks a great question which leads to a discussion (er… sales pitch?) from James. Oh, and Joshua complains about Annie Johnson never remembering him in the same breath as calling her “Amy” (insert facepalm.jpg here)… It really is a fun listen!

An interview with Hops & Grain Brewing’s Founder, Josh Hare — HHH Ep. 056
Sep 15, 2017
Welcome back friends
to another wonderful episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!
In case you haven’t been listening to any episodes prior to today, we’re located in Central Texas… which means we are in a 50’ish mile radius of some of the most amazing micro and craft breweries that the nation has to offer (this is now the part where folks outside of Texas email Joshua to tell him how wrong he is that Texas has the best craft breweries!). On today’s episode, Joshua drives the 15 or so miles down the road to east Austin to meet up with Josh Hare, the founder and president of Hops & Grain Brewing.
Hops & Grain are not only doing amazing things in the beer world, but they’re also committed to doing amazing things in their local community. In this interview, Josh Hare elaborates on what it means to be a good neighbor; not only in their neighborhood but also to the world! He also discusses his history as a homebrewer and what led to him taking that “next step” many of us dream of as homebrewers!

New Recipes, Using Base Grains, & Moving Up to Bigger Batches! — HHH Ep. 055
Sep 08, 2017
Sometimes, our best episodes are the ones where we didn’t plan much! To elaborate, we had a last minute switch (*cough* Todd flaked and left Joshua and James to do it by themselves *cough*) but it all worked out great because what was yielded was a fantastic conversation on delicious new homebrew recipes, using base grains and experimenting with your brews, and the logistics of going from small to larger batch brewing AND moving beyond bottling and on to kegging.
It really was a blast recording today’s show and we hope you enjoy it!

HUGE NEWS & an Interview with Ladik Joe Ermis from HomebrewSupply.com! — HHH Ep. 053
Aug 25, 2017
Hello friends! Since the last time we’ve met, a LOT has gone on in the homebrew industry. Specifically, a LOT has gone on between two of the largest independently owned homebrew supply companies!
We’re so excited to announce that Todd Burns of Kegconnection LLC has purchased HomebrewSupply.com! Most of you are already familiar with HBS as they’ve made a huge impact on the online market even in the relatively short amount of time they’ve been around (3’ish years). Their site has always been enviously beautiful, and their customer service has always been exceptional!
For today’s episode, we welcome one of the HBS guys who has been around since their beginning, Ladik Joe Ermis. Joe’s an avid homebrewer and wore a lot of hats during his time at HBS! We think you’re going to really enjoy this interview and hope you stay tuned for more information regarding the relaunch of HomebrewSupply.com!

An interview with UFC fighter and avid homebrewer, Jim Miller! — HHH Ep. 052
Aug 18, 2017
Friends, have we got an awesome episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast for you today with our special guest, Jim Miller!
For those who don’t know him by name, Jim is a professional mixed martial artist currently fighting for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in their lightweight (155lb) division. Jim has fought pretty much every person who matters in the division (beating the bulk of them too!) and holds the current record for number of wins in that division. His fighting resume truly is impressive.
What’s even more impressive, to us, is his passion for homebrewing. Jim’s been at it a while and in this episode we dive into his history as a homebrewer, his favorite styles to brew, his favorite styles to drink, and what the future post-UFC might look like if he took his brewing to the professional level.

In case you missed last week’s 50th episode celebration, first let us say how much we appreciate you all and how much FUN we had last week!
Moving forward from episode 50, today’s show is a great conversation on dry hopping. We’ve addressed some dry hopping Q’s in the past but today’s show is themed to elaborate a little bit more than we’ve done before.
Also, we are officially recognizing CMBecker International’s James Carlson as our permanent 3rd co-host! You guys have left such great feedback on James and, frankly, he’s a wealth of knowledge that was bound to start his own show if we didn’t make him an offer he couldn’t refuse (spoiler alert: free beer!).

On this episode, we celebrated by livestreaming the audio and video to you guys through our Facebook page. We took some of your questions about the show, discussed some of our favorite moments, and Joshua even paid up on his end of the deal with Todd and shaved live on the stream.
It wasn’t pretty…

Questions about homebrewing and keg temperatures PLUS Joshua’s great idea to get around river floating can bans! — HHH Ep. 48
Jul 21, 2017
Welcome to another fun filled episode of our #Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!
Thanks to the powers of the internet, Joshua & Todd connect via Google Hangouts to discuss questions on homebrewing and keg temperatures in this episode. PLUS — Todd points out that Joshua hasn’t shaved his beard yet while Joshua points out that Todd has to grow the equivalent of a real man’s beard before he does… so that buys him a good 6 months, probably?

Jun 23, 2017
Hey friends and happy Friday!
We’ve returned from our trip to Minneapolis for #HomebrewCon2017 and – to say the least – wowzers. WOWZERS!
We had every intention to actually record episodes of Homebrew Happy Hour while there on the show floor BUT, believe it or not, we were so busy at the CMBecker booth that we had no time to record (or eat, or sleep… we made time to drink though, don’t worry about that!).
In this “recap” episode, I (joshua) phone in CMBecker’s Director of Operations, James Carlson, to wrap up our thoughts on #HomebrewCon2017 and say “thanks!” to him for filling in for the MIA Todd Burns. Todd *should* be back soon though!

#HOMEBREWCON SPECIAL INTERVIEW W/ Mike Amat of HbrewO! – HHH EP. 039
Aug 19, 2016
Can you believe that we made it through #HomebrewCon?! Wow, we had a blast and we’re so happy that you joined us for the adventure.
Wrapping up our time in Baltimore is this interview with HbrewO’s Mike Amat. HbrewO is a manufacturer of filtration systems for home brewing and, as homebrewers, we all know the importance of ‘good’ water!
From their site: Water constitutes over 90% of beer and plays a huge role in how your beer is going to develop. With our BrewRO System, you are in control of your water quality and water profile. Remove the complications of chlorine, hard water, soft water, iron, and other contaminates by starting with purified water and building your own water profile from scratch to suit the beer you want to brew. You wouldn’t start a painting on a painted canvas, so why brew with untreated water? Great Beer Starts With Great Water.
Learn more from Mike and his company, HbrewO, in this final episode of ours from the 2016 #HomebrewCon!

A week at #HomebrewCon wouldn’t be complete without us interviewing somebody from the American Homebrewers Association or the Brewers Association!
We were fortunate enough to land an interview with the chief economist from the Brewers Association, Bart Watson! Chatting with Bart was a ton of fun as he provides a wealth of knowledge on statistics and information regarding the industry that lots of us would never have thought to even think about. If you’re on Twitter and are interested in the draft beer and homebrewing industries, he is definitely worth following a: @BrewersStats

#HOMEBREWCON SPECIAL INTERVIEW W/ Annie Johnson from PicoBrew! – HHH EP. 037
Aug 05, 2016
Our time at #HomebrewCon continues and today’s show features one of our favorite guests to date: Annie Johnson!
Annie is a living legend in the homebrewing community, although she might not accept that title since she also happens to be an extremely humble person as well! Some quick stats on Annie: Annie is a high level BJCP Beer Judge, she is the Brew Master for PicoBrew (you know, those KickStarter darlings that are streamlining homebrewing and helping expose our passion to the masses!), she is also the 2013 AHA “Homebrewer of the Year”.
We are terribly grateful that she took the time out of her day to hang out with us and we know you’re going to love this episode as much as we loved making it.

Like we’ve mentioned already, #HomebrewCon was a BLAST! Meeting homebrewers from all over was fantastic and today’s guest was a real treat.
Andrés Álvarez is the Chief Fermentation Officer for the Asociación de Cerveceros Independientes de Querétaro A.C.
We met Andrés while waiting in line to taste beer on the tradeshow floor. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re very socially awkward so we’re glad that Andrés took the initiative to talk to us while waiting because it turned out to be an amazing conversation and we knew we had to have him on the show to help showcase what he is doing down there in Mexico.

Welcome back friends to another fun-filled episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour!
We are BACK from #HomebrewCon 2016 and we had a BLAST meeting many of you guys as well as interviewing industry pros and vendors that are offering some really cool products for homebrewers.
One of those awesome vendors we met is the crew from Vessi! We had a chance to sit down and learn more from Marketing Lead, Noel Dolan, and Technical Lead, Ryan Murrin, on the Vessi! Fermentor.
#HomebrewCon is the first time we had heard about the Vessi but we’re confident that it won’t be the last. Their concept is brilliant and is built on creating a system that will allow you to go from pitching the yeast to pouring your beer in as little as 7 days (video below elaborates). On top of it’s functionality, what blew us away was the aesthetics of the system. One word: BEAUTIFUL!
