Dr. Homebrew | Episode #226: Gose, Grodziskie, and the Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

When is a Gose not a Gose? When it's really a Grodziskie! The Dr. Homebrew team got thrown for a loop on this week's show, as the beer we thought was a Gose turned out to be something way, WAY different. Our homebrewer this week is Michelle Wonder, and along with Melissa McCann, they run the Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance, which is an amazing organization striving to increse the reach of homebrewing and craft beer to women and non-binary folks across the world. The WCFA holds a virtual event every year that is packed with so much great information, just reading about it made our eye bulge out!

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #225: Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale and A Homebrewed Clone Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

The greatest of all Brown Ales is represented on the show today - Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale. In years past, this delightful treat of a liquid was in clear bottles, forcing any drinker to basically play the lottery when it came time to drink one - will it be skunky? Now they have shifted to brown bottles several years ago, all the loveliness of a Sam Smith's Nut Brown comes through, and we're happy to be able to dissect it with you. Plus, we have a homebrewed version of a Nut Brown, modeled after Sam Smith's, so we're in for a real treat!

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #224: Wee Heavy and BJCP Score Sheet Evaluation Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

We're getting Scottish in the office today! Dave is back with a Wee Heavy, which is always a real treat to dive into. These beers are complex and malty, but can be very tricky to balance just right. Did Dave do those things? Plus, Brian Cooper takes us through the things that make up a good BJCP score sheet.

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #223: Festbier and GABF Judging Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

The season for festbier is upon us, and that's a good thing, because this style is such a great one to taste. Malt complexity everywhere, cleanly lagered ... what's not to like? Dave joins us as we judge his homebrew version of this style, and then Brian Schar takes us through his experiences judging the first round of the Great American Beer Festival.

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #222: The Hazy IPA Show Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

Today on the show, we turn our attentions to resident BJCP judge and co-host Brian Cooper, who has submitted round two of his Hazy IPA for judging. This is a re-brew of sorts, with Brian taking feedback from an earlier show and applying it to this new iteration of murky juiciness. Will his hard work pay off? Then, we do a commercial calibration of Liquid Hoppiness IPA by Sierra Nevada.

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #221: Coors Banquet and 4 Weird Off-Flavors You Should Know Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

In the world of American Lagers, Coors Banquet is an easy Top 3 beer. This crisp, easy-drinking style is one that's hard to replicate and easy to become a showcase for flaws in technique. We talk about Coors Banquet during our Commercial Calibration, and what goes into making beers of this caliber. Then, Brian Schar takes us through 4 weird off-flavors every homebrewer should know.

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #220: Bock Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

Bock is one of those styles that can really go wrong if you let it. From cloyingly sweet to one-dimensional, there's really no shortage of things to screw up when attempting a Bock. Perpetual guest Colin returns with his very first attempt at this deceptively complex style.

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #219: Pale Ale And 805 Commercial Calibration Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

Pale Ale is one of the lord's perfect styles, provided it meets our strict definition. On today's show, we have Andy back on, who convinced Brian Cooper to mule two bottles of his Pale back from HomebrewCon this last month for us to judge on the show. Then, we do a Commercial Calibration segment with everyone's favorite Blonde Ale ... 805, from Firestone-Walker!

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #218: Belgian Blonde and Sherbet Cider Jul 28, 2022

Show notes

Summertime is Cider time, and we have a pretty cool one on today's show! Bob joins us and sent in his version of a Rainbow Sherbet Cider. What does that mean? We had no idea, either, so don't feel too lost. First, however, we meet up with Colin again, who sent us a Belgian Blonde Ale.

Dr. Homebrew | Episode #217: Hazy IPA and Russian River Consecration Clone Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

Master BJCP judge Brian Cooper loves to torture us on this show, and today's episode grants us no relief. Brian gave us two of his homebrewed beers to judge - a Hazy IPA and his attempt at a clone of Consecration from Russian River! Both styles are beers that Brian loves to drink, so we had high expectations going into this judging. Was it warranted? *shrug*
