Yes, you’re seeing things correctly – this is episode 451 of the Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!… THE home brew #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!

Where did episode 450 go (as Todd insufferably asked multiple times this week)? We did a celebratory Brew Day Live “episode” for 450 last week which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/live/hLcvzPOAROk?si=OnI0G7N5r5Ba1ayT
