The Brew is Out There!
We've talked going big. We've talked IPA. We've even talked Triple IPA – but we've never gone this far. Drew talks with Tim Kazules of 5 Threads Brewing about making his surprising 5X IPA – clean, crisp and bitter and dry at 17% ABV!

Episode 198 – Denny In Temecula


The Brew Is Out There!
Given all the recent talk about extract and brewing – its time to revisit a 2017 conversation!
Drew and Denny hit the phones with Jay Ankeney, a long time homebrewer in Los Angeles who’s been brewing longer than most of us. And interestingly – Jay still brews with extract and grains. Why does he still brew with extract? What are some of his tips and tricks and what does he do that either agrees or disagrees with prevailing wisdom. Well, you’re going to have to listen!
