Scott interviews Vance about the various books available to home brewers.

Scott interviews Alex about the lesser known ale, Gruit.

We discuss brewing with fruit. We sample a Pete's Wicked Strawberry Blonde and talk about the file cabinets in our heads. Oh, and we talk a little about homebrewing.

We discuss the methods and issues of summer brewing. We cover topics like wort cooling, lagers and non-glass containment.

We discuss the common myths of home brewing and their hidden truths. The myths are processes and ideas that we take for granted and never question as home brewers. We break down each myth into their scientific principles, while providing practical advice.

We interview Vance Hiler from American Home Brewing Supply and Dr. Jim Crute from Lightning Brewery, both in San Diego, CA. We discuss how to grow hops using rhizomes obtained from your local homebrew store. They give advice on the entire process.
