The Hop Addition

Episode 13 - Threesome.

00:00 / 2:41:08

This episode is a long one, and discusses Pale Ales and IPAs, the blurred lines between them and explains the guidelines. We deliberately didn’t talk about water profiles because as you can appreciate, there are so many which can be used depending on the sub style. Owen Puckett and Andy Lynch are my partners in crime on this episode and there is some healthy debate about the 2 styles. Enjoy. I apologise for the language in parts on this one, Id had a few beers and it had been a long day so my usual filter wasn’t in place. Don’t listen to this one around the kids.

Episode 12 - Wheat Beers with The Blue Trouser Brewer

00:00 / 1:57:14

Episode 12 is a rambling convoluted run through the world of wheat beers, my guest co-host on this one was Owen Puckett; The Blue Trouser Brewer. We covered just about everything we could think of to do with wheat beers and took a bit of a tangent in the middle of the pod. Due to my editing skills not being a match for Tricky, you can hear some vaping on this one, so no, your speakers or headphones aren’t broken!

Episode 11 - The one with the Scottish Tricky.

00:00 / 1:37:39

Since my brother from another mother Tricky currently has a crotchfruit and house moving issue to resolve, I’ve recruited a guest cohost for this episode in Andy Lynch of The High Road Brewery channel on YouTube to come on and talk about the electric breweries we’ve built using craftbeerpi.

Tricky hasnt massaged this episode with his special blend of 11 herbs, spices and patchouli oil, but it still sounds good! Join us in the wonderful world of CraftBeerPi and building your own remote controlled electric brewery.

I slightly meandering journey through the process of mashing, we were both quite well oiled for this one so a few naughty words might have slipped out and the occasional rant but hopefully you will still enjoy it! In this episode we cover different types of mashing process, factors affecting mash performance and what we think is important to consider.

Strap in folks this is a long one! This episode we try and break down water chemistry to its key elements. We also review our first beermail from a listener and take another commercial break!

Episode 4.5 - Wash Your F*cking Hands

00:00 / 42:56

If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the information on Covid 19 in the news then maybe don’t listen to this one but we felt we had to have a chat about whats going on as its such a crazy and unprecedented event that is affecting all of us worldwide. Some of it is homebrewing related, a lot of it isn’t but we did this off the cuff and thats what we ended up with, please bear in mind we recorded this on the 17th of March and a lot of things have already changed drastically from that point. Most importantly look after yourselves and take the hint from the title!

p.s I did not edit out swearing in this episode, so not suitable for listening with children around.
