hopnology: Hop Growing and Brewing for Craft Beer

This is it, folks!  We wanted to call it Hopnology: Endgame but those Disney folks are a litigious bunch.

We talked about the fact that we should talk about it for a loooong time.  Then we finally talked about it.

When there isn’t a plan and you ride the wave, where can your new business take you?

All that hard work in the field, precision drying, and then you store the hops in a garbage bag with a chip clip?

Our first foray into the Pelletizing process.  Not just the How, but also the Why.

This was a fun “what if” episode.  If you could have anything in your hopyard, what would it be?  You’ll be surprised at the pain points that come up early.

What’s more fun than watching James fight with people online?  Listening to him fight with a computer.

We’re on a Sciency Science roll and this week it’s about thiols.  More of the magic that exists in your hops if you only know where to look.

There are so many variables in your yard, and they all work in tandem with each other.  That’s why the answer is so often “it depends”.  What does it depend *on* though?

Two new episodes in a row?  Hmm.  That’s curious…..

The latest issue gave us a treasure trove of topics, including gluten free brewing, non-beer products from breweries, and Gregg’s favorite topic of “pumpkin” beer.
