The Brewing Network Presents | Dr. Homebrew

We change things up a bit on today’s episode, but we promise it won’t hurt at all. We chat with Travis about the beer he brought in, and then we address a listener suggested topic – how to ship beer. It’s something that pretty much needs to happen to be on Dr. Homebrew, but most homebrewers either over do it. Find out some tips and tricks we have picked up over the years on how to properly ship your precious beers.

Tonight is our first experience with a homebrewed gluten-free beer, and we have to say … it wasn’t as bad as we thought! We also check out a cool double IPA made with fresh spruce tips, another first for the show. We invited a local master BJCP judge, Keith, to sit in for the show tonight, and we think he did pretty good for a nOOb!

We have two great beers lined up for tonight. Sure, we say that all the time, but THIS time … we mean it. A brett beer that is supposed to be a Saison but really isn’t, and then we run through a huge barrel-aged beer with cacao nibs, coffee, and bourbon.

There's been a lot of talk about those East Coast IPA's with the smooth mouthfeel, but we don't see them all that often on the West Coast. Well, homebrewer Seth decided to brew some up and fix that for us. We take on a VIPA, and then a huge Russian Imperial Stout from Phillip.

A new month means a new episode of Dr. Homebrew! Today, we chat with John, who sent over a lovely Belgian Tripel that was even corked-and-caged! Next up was Matt with an IPA that he used some pretty unique yeasts on. Once again, Geoff sat in for Doc and had some great insight on these beers.

Today on Dr. Homebrew, we chat with two homebrewers who brewed two very different beers, which we love. Mel sent in several bottles of his Northern English Brown ale that he had been having problems with for quite some time. Then we talked with Ryan who tried a rapid lagering method on his Helles, but was concerned about the emerging honey-like notes in the beer. Plus, Geoff (from Dr. Homebrew episode one) sat in for the missing Doc, and did a great job!

A few shows back we had a double IPA that blew Doc's mind. Which is hard to do, considering how hard Doc parties. At any rate, we had that brewer, John, come back on to talk about his Kolsch. Will Doc love it as much as the double IPA? Then we chat with Jacob who sent us a Saison fermented with Brett and then aged in Cabernet Sav oak chips. Find out how Jacob did, and what our recommendations we dished out!

It's the juxtaposition show, somehow. Doc and JP start out giving the worst history of St. Patrick's Day ever. So much incorrect information that we should be flogged for it. We talk with Norm who sent in a German Pilsner first, and he was looking for some general feedback on his lager methods and what he could do to really crisp this thing up. Then we talked with Kris who may have made the most "out there" beer we have had on the show. We won't give anything away, you'll just have to listen to it, but let's just say this was ... complex. It's Dr. Homebrew!

It’s back to basics today on Dr. Homebrew, as we run through a classic Pale Ale , and then fly head-first into everyone’s favorite category … IIPA! Though we didn’t know it, we were in for a treat with the IPA – even Doc loved it, and he hates IPA as much as JP does.
