BREW-DO - The Whodunnit? Show.

Welcome to the first episode of BREW DO, a brand new brewing mystery series from the Modern Brewer Podcast.

Think brewing, meets Cluedo with a sprinkle of Inspector Clouseau 🕵🏻‍♂️

Each episode presents a real world brewing problem. Strange results. Confusing symptoms. A brew team scratching its head wondering what on earth is going on.

Your job is to figure out the culprit.

In this first case something has gone badly wrong. Beer is developing disinfectant like flavours that simply should not be there. Everything looks normal on paper. The process appears correct. The brewery team are confident in their procedures.

Yet something is clearly contaminating the beer.

So what is it?

In this episode Chris Lewington & Murphy’s European Technical Expert, Jonas Trummer walks you through the clues step by step and challenges listeners to solve the mystery before the answer is revealed.

If you enjoy solving brewing problems, testing your technical knowledge and learning from real brewery scenarios, this new series is for you.
