Episode 130 – A New Way To Figure Out Hops

1 hour 28 minutes

We took a week off from hops, but we could never leave them for long. With all of the new ways of using hops, the IBU (which was already a lie) seems increasingly inadequate to reflect the modern beer experience. We're talking to our friends – Sam and Marko, from Grainfather – to discuss a new way to calculate the impact of our hop usage.
