A Podcast about homebrewing…
A wide ranging discussion of pressure fermentation, what is it, what does it do and how can you use it when home-brewing. Plus the an angry baby and the genesis of Millington Bingo.
In this episode, Andy Owen and Chris discuss German beers and why you need them in your life. Strap in, Chris gets very excited in this one…
The one that nearly got lost in a house move, but it’s here and it’s a grand tour of all things gadget in home brewing. Beers were drunk, keyboards were soiled and some good banter was exchanged, hope you enjoy!
This one is a monster. 4 hours of Tricky, Owen, Andy and myself discussing everything. Tricky gets slammed and I almost fall asleep. A fun meandering run through all things Christmas beer related. Back to our usual programming from the 2nd January 2021.
A slightly shambolic (due to over consumption of Impy Stouts) discussion of Porters and Stouts, what are they, where did they come from and how can you brew them. Plus the triumphant return of el’duderino himself Tricky!
Episode 16 is here and its a meandering, contentious, yawning journey through the wonderful world of lagers. This is the hardest style to perfect so we give you some tips as to how to make a good one, and talk about the different versions that are available.
Check it out!
This episode is all about the wonderful world of New England IPAs, we try a seriously impressive homebrewed version, and we talk about all the things that you need to know about to make one yourself. Enjoy.
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.
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.
Its been a while since I’ve done a post on the site, but I’ve also had a lot of requests from people for a detailed breakdown of the CraftBeerPi (CBP) build that Andy Lynch and myself talked about on Episode 11. As such here is a detailed breakdown of the parts I used and how I did my build.
DISCLAIMER!
Under no circumstances should you attempt this unless you are a qualified or trained electrician. All of my work was inspected and checked by an electrical engineer with 35 years experience of panel building. There is a very real risk of injury here, and possible life changing injury at that. You’ve been warned and I, and the Hop Addition crew will take no responsibility for you doing something stupid and frying your ass. Before you plug anything in, get it checked for safety first, or even better, ask a sparky friend to be there when you do it so he can stop you if you’re being a bellend!)
Another disclaimer here. I’m English, live in England and as such have listed things from shops I have access to, if you’re in another country, you’ll have to do the research into what stuff you need, I cant help with that. Remember what your voltage and current is on your mains supply and build appropriately.
Right, that’s the legal stuff taken care of so here is the dealio.
