Extended Time In Primary Fermenter Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

Back in the early days of homebrewing, it was customary for brewers to transfer their beer out of the primary fermentation vessel into a secondary vessel for a period of conditioning before packaging, though nowadays it's common to ferment in primary only. For some, this means extending the time the beer spends on the trub, which has been purported to lead to certain issues. In this episode, contributor Jake Huolihan sits down with Marshall to talk about the impact leaving beer in the primary fermenter can have on beer as well as the results of fascinating xBmt on the topic.

Reusing Yeast From A High OG Batch Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

Brewing isn't the cheapest hobby, and one way brewers can save some money is by harvesting yeast that was previously used to ferment one beer and pitching it into a new batch of wort. When doing this, it's often recommended not to harvest from a high OG beer. In this episode, contributor Andy Carter joins Marshall to discuss reusing yeast, the purported concerns with harvesting from a high OG beer, and the result of an xBmt on the topic.

Using Tinctures In Brewing Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

The easiest and presumably most common method for adding spices to beer involves tossing them directly in at some point in the process, usually during the boil and/or fermentation. However, this method is believed by some to be a bit haphazard, leaving little room for controlling the pungency of the spice character, which has led to the use of alternative approaches. In this episode, contributor Cade Jobe joins Marshall to talk about the use of tinctures in brewing and discuss the results of an xBmt on the subject.

Cold Crashing Speed Feb 18, 2020

Yeast being the living organism it is, it's often recommended the temperature of beer be gently reduced over the course of a few days when cold crashing. In this episode, contributor Jake Huolihan joins Marshall to talk about the impact of crashing speed and the results of an interesting xBmt on the topic.

Short & Shoddy: British Golden Ale Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

As a relatively new style, British Golden Ale was inspired by the rise in popularity of fizzy yellow lager, though due to the heavier handed hopping rates it often gets compared to American Pale Ale. Crisp, refreshing, and endlessly crushable, contributor Matt Del Fiacco is a huge fan of this style and recently brewed one up using a number of corner-cutting methods. In this episode, Matt joins Marshall to talk about British Golden Ale as well as the results of his Short & Shoddy batch.
