Dr. Homebrew: Episode 86 11-17-16 Nov 17, 2016

Show notes

It's the Imperial Stout show, as both of our homebrew guests have sent in their best for evaluation. Brian got a bit freaked out about Neil's labels, which happened to be GrogTags! His beer was aged in rye whiskey barrels, and that really shows through in the finished product. Michael's beer was no slouch either, as he capped off our one-two punch of high-ABV beers.

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 85 11-03-16 Nov 03, 2016

Show notes

Another show, talking about homebrew! Jonas joins us from Sweden, and he sent in a mead for us to try. We don't get too many bottles of this particular style, so we were excited to scrape all the Swedish wax off the crown and get to judging. Then JP jumps under the knife, as he whips out his Oatmeal Stout for close examination.

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 84 10-26-16 Oct 26, 2016

Show notes

Tonights show has some cool beer styles on it, and we were excited to break them open! We had a Scottish Export/80 from Keith, and a Blonde Ale from Chris, who made the journey into the studio for the show. We give some prizes away and have fun drinking homebrew!

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 83 10-08-16 Oct 08, 2016

Show notes

It's always nice when our guests are in studio. Today, Ernie came back to share his Helles with us. He wasn't super happy with it, and wanted a second opinion. Then we talk with Matt again, who sent in his Brown Ale. Two of the three bottles had some weird contaminant, which was interesting to taste through. Ernie got so out of control he dropped his tasting glass into his pint glass and created a pretty nice shank.

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 82 09-15-16 Sep 01, 2016

Show notes

It’s the alumni show, apparently, as both guests are veteran Dr. Homebrew patients. Dan, who currently works at Junkyard Brewing in Minnesota, sends us an oak-aged quad with Brett and clocks in at 10.4% ABV! Then it’s Matt, who sends us an IPA. He already made some tweaks to the recipe and has brewed his second batch, but it was cool to talk to him about why he made the changes he made and to see if what he did was what Dr. Homebrew would suggest.

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 81 09-01-16 Sep 01, 2016

Show notes

We had a full studio for this one, as three homebrewing friends came in to torture JP with their version of a Vermont IPA. Normally, that "style" is cloudy and murky and looks like someone poured orange juice into a glass of dirty dishwater, but Brendan, John, and Leo wanted to brew a clear batch to see if they could get those same smooth flavors without the added flour and yeast. Spoiler alert: they did. Then we do another commercial calibration, this time with the classic Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Grab yourself a six-pack of this go-to pale and taste along with us!

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 80 08-18-16 Aug 18, 2016

Show notes

Episode 80 of Dr. Homebrew is a good one. We talk with Chris who sent us his Imperial stout made with coffee and vanilla, and it’s really good. Unfortunately we only had two bottles of the stuff because JP broke one in the fridge, because he’s clumsy. Then we talk with Dan, who in addition to being a homebrewer, also works for a commerical brewery called Junkyard brewing in Minnesota. He sent in two giant cans of something called a “dark ale”, which we deemed more like a Baltic Porter, made with toasted coconut chips. One can was aged in a bourbon barrel and the other was straight, so we got to taste both side-by-side, which was really something. ixnpfaen

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 79 08-09-16 Aug 09, 2016

Show notes

We change things up a bit on today’s episode, but we promise it won’t hurt at all. We chat with Travis about the beer he brought in, and then we address a listener suggested topic – how to ship beer. It’s something that pretty much needs to happen to be on Dr. Homebrew, but most homebrewers either over do it. Find out some tips and tricks we have picked up over the years on how to properly ship your precious beers.

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 78 07-22-16 Jul 22, 2016

Show notes

Tonight is our first experience with a homebrewed gluten-free beer, and we have to say … it wasn’t as bad as we thought! We also check out a cool double IPA made with fresh spruce tips, another first for the show. We invited a local master BJCP judge, Keith, to sit in for the show tonight, and we think he did pretty good for a nOOb!

Dr. Homebrew: Episode 77 07-07-16 Jul 07, 2016

Show notes

We have two great beers lined up for tonight. Sure, we say that all the time, but THIS time … we mean it. A brett beer that is supposed to be a Saison but really isn’t, and then we run through a huge barrel-aged beer with cacao nibs, coffee, and bourbon.
