Episode 14 of the Hop Addition is here! Its a Q&A episode which is the longest we’ve ever done. Lots of information, but should be good for a listen. Many thanks to everyone who sent in questions for us to answer, hopefully we’ve covered them well enough to satisfy. All opinions are our own, and we’re not perfect humans, so make sure you do your own research if you plan on following our tips.

DOG WALKING WARNING! This is 3 hours and 15 minutes long. Take a water bottle. We’ll be back to a more normal length on the next one.

Episode 13 - Threesome.

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
Loading
/

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!
