I want to start profiling all of the Western New York breweries in more of a formal fashion and just happened to be out at NYBP! I was there for their first annual homebrew competition and asked if head-brewer Jason Crossett and co-owner Kelly Krupski would sit down and discuss the current state and future direction of New York Beer Project.

Josh Dziomba is spending 60 plus hours a week on top of a full time job trying to start Clarence's first  nano-brewery. West Shore Brewing get's it's name from the rail line his grandfather worked on when his family moved to the area.

Despite the financial strain, the legal hurdles, and the lack of free time, Josh's excitement for the project is palpable in the interview.

This episode is brought to you by FastBrewing.com

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What kind of beer should we be making base on our local water chemistry? Do we have similarities with waters from Burton on Trent? Pilsen? Dublin?

John Palmer, the author of some of brewing's most revered books, joins us to talk about the water we have here in Buffalo. We break down the numbers and discuss why they're important. We discuss why certain beers made with our water end up beautiful and complex and others seem one-dimensional. 

Clay and Scott talk to John via Skype while on location at 42 North Brewing in East Aurora with our water reports on hand. 

John explains why we should care about water, how to test it, how we should interpret it, and what we can do to make our beers better.
