Homebrew Happy Hour

Great to have you and thanks for tuning in to this episode of Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

It’s the last week before Todd and James fly out to Germany (without me, but I’ll complain about that another day and lots more in the future) so I’m happy they were able to join me and help take YOUR questions on today’s show. 

One listener wrote in asking about what to do when you have over half of your packet of yeast left over (and other scaling stuff about scaling down 5 gallon recipes) and our second question asks about choosing hops for recipe building and when to use them during the brew day.

Thank you for tuning in to another fantastic episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

We hope you’re having a great start to the new year and sticking to whatever resolutions you’ve established for yourself! The good news is that we are 9 days into 2020 and I haven’t lost a bet to Todd yet. What a great year this is going to be!

For this week, Todd and James join me to small talk our way thru 15’ish minutes and then answer YOUR questions about homebrewing. Specifically, we got asked about what may have happened when a liquid yeast got pitched but no activity ever happened, plus we talk about breaking up an all-grain brew day into multiple steps over several days. It was a great show that I’m excited to share with you!

We hope you had an incredible and safe new year celebration! We had a ton of fun which included plenty of delicious homebrew, delicious food, friends, family, and tasty cigars all to boot. 

Todd and James join me to discuss our brew year resolutions (see what I did there?) for 2020. We also make some predictions for the craft beer world (spoiler alert: mine makes fun of fruity beers. #sorrynotsorry), AND we take a couple of questions about gas regulators. Not too shabby of an episode for our first one of 2020!

Thank you for tuning in again to yet another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

Hey, remember when last week I said that Todd was losing terribly to me in the weightloss competition? Turns out, I was wrong. I’m just going to let you listen or watch this week’s episode so you can get the full details in context but let’s just say that I’m pissed.

ANYWAY – on this week’s episode we recap our favorite brews of the years as well as our least favorites too. We then take a question about force carbonation and we reflect on how great of a year the podcast had in 2019. THANK YOU all so much for tuning in each week and for being a part of our lives. You make this show what it is and we’re so thankful for each and every one of you!

Todd is gone so it’s just James and I but, fear not, we sorta stayed on topic this episode! After catching up on some small talk which consisted mainly of me dogging Todd’s horrificly bad efforts at losing weight for our competition, we also took two questions. We discuss yeast nutrients as well as if time can help heal an oxidized beer. These are two things we haven’t actually talked much about so I was pumped to have James’s input on these!

We are back from a fantastic trip out to Kansas City! First off – what an underrated city. Such a great beer scene, incredible food, and a beautiful downtown area full of amazing museums and touristy stuff. We will definitely be back in the future!

For this week’s show, we take a couple of questions on naturally carbonating but in a keg as well as conditioning tips (temps, methods, etc).

Thank you for joining us once again for another fun-filled episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!

We’re back from stuffing ourselves silly during the Thanksgiving break. Well, some of us (*cough* TODD *cough*) may have stuffed themselves more than others… but, either way, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we hope you did too!

We update you all on the weight loss competition between myself and Todd. Spoiler: I’m going to win. This week we also briefly discuss our holiday beer selection for our company Christmas party and I remind you all of the wonderful perks you receive when you join our Patreon community!

Then, we address two questions. The first is on what size CO2 cylinder might work best if only used for keeping O2 from seeping into your beer during fermenation in a vessel like the Spike Flex or Flex +. The second question deals with corny keg upkeep and, specifically, repairing rubber handles that are coming loose. It’s an informative episode, that’s for sure!

Due to it being Thanksgiving week, we recorded this week’s episode TOGETHER from the Kegconnection HQ! I apologize ahead of time as it isn’t the best video quality nor is the audio my favorite, but it was actually a ton of fun to record this way and be in person with Todd and James. 

We tried to make this episode themed and even brought props as the two questions we discuss have to do with faucets and upgrading your kegerator’s faucets. Spoiler alert: we push CMBecker faucets pretty heavy on this episode!

Todd and James are BACK from Germany/Austria! Even though I’m super jealous of their trip, it was great getting a recap of the Brau tradeshow as well as the fun they had while visiting Vienna.

On this week’s episode, we discuss hygiene for your home kegging system. It’s an often overlooked part of the draft beer experience but having clean tubing and dispensing components will make a *huge* difference in taste and pour. I always worry that episodes like this will bore our audience but I really do believe you’ll learn something from today’s show!

Thank you for joining us again for this week’s episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer all of your homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!

Todd and James are out of the country, attending the Brau in Nuremberg, Germany, so I’m excited to present this week’s episode; another “Homebrewer Showcase”! Rob Partin from Virginia is the man behind “Pixel Perfect Brewing” and he is also responsible for some really awesome label art for his beers.

Rob is also big into canning so I’m glad I was able to pick his brain a little and learn a lot about how easy it is for homebrewers to get into canning as well as the benefits of canning versus bottling.

I had a ton of fun with Rob and I hope you enjoy this week’s episode.
