Home Brewery

Hi Folks, So bit of a different topic this week and I feel it is an important one. Most of you know I am a military veteran and I have survived quite a bit in my time with them, but with what I have survived it has left scares and damage in its path. Yakima Valley Hops has started an awareness campaign called "Hi How Are You" to help bring attention to this cause. If you are  alone and need help reach out as you are not alone. Below are links to Canadian groups who can help as well as one American one which helps those around the world.   Cheers Dan   Resources to look into for help     wounded warriors canada   Veterans Affairs Canada   The Legion Canada   Royal Hospital Ottawa / OSI Clinic   Soldier On   The Caddie School for Soldier    

Hey Folks, This we we talk about something that I have yet to use, but will be in the near future it's LUPOMAX hops from Yakima Valley Hops.   LUPOMAX® is a new concentrated pellet that is consistent, efficient, and optimized for hop flavor. LUPOMAX® has less vegetative matter compared to regular hop pellets so you get hop flavors that are bigger, bolder, and brighter! Less vegetative matter means less beer loss, less solid waste, and more beer to enjoy. LUPOMAX® is variety and crop year specific and made with premium lots that are selected to deliver consistent true-to-type flavor year over year.

So this week I have James from the Homebrew Happy Hour on the show to talk about HERMS brewing. So in case you don't know HERMS stands for Heat Exchange Recirculating Mash System and is a great way to get into electric brewing if you're looking at getting into a 3 vessel system. Please check out: www.homebrewhappyhour.com www.cmbecker.com you can also find them on www.facebook.com/HomebrewHappyHour www.instagram.com/homebrewhappyhour/ twitter.com/HomebrewHappyHr patreon.com/HomebrewHappyHour    

Ever thought about building your own set up to brew with? Ever felt that you could if you knew how? Well I can say this is very doable and this week we are happy to have Kal from The Electric Brewery on the show to talk about how he started and how to build your own brewing rig. https://shop.theelectricbrewery.com

So this week we talk with a new friend and podcaster Andrew Saunders host for the Homebrew Pub podcast. From Essex England Andrew came to the US and found his love of beer in Colorado. He has had some of his beer done on the commercial scale with some great success. Some along for the ride as Andrew and I talk podcasts, beer and everything in between.   Here is the recipe Andrew told us about: Earl Grey American Wheat:   Batch size: 6 gallons 60 min mash 60 min boil OG (SG)1.046 FG (SG)1.008 ABV 4.92%   Grain: 7lb 2-Row 3lb White Wheat   Hops: 1oz Northern Brewer (60 mins) 1oz Mt. Hood (15 mins)   Yeast: California Lager Yeast – ferment at ale temps   Adjunct 20x tea bags of your favorite Earl Grey tea (recommendation: Teakoe Elegant Earl Grey https://www.teakoe.com/products/elegant-earl-grey) cut open the bags and put leaves into a hop bag in single container. Cover hop bag with vodka and let soak for a week. When adding to secondary, pour leaves and tincture (vodka tea) into fermenter. Let sit for a week.     

Ever think about having your own permanent brewing set up or home brewery? So I'm moving to the country and will be getting a chance to create my dream set up for brewing. Now the question is what system to get, what are the electrical requirements, water supply and the list goes on. So leave a comment and let me keno what you think.

I love things all dark beer, stouts, porters and what better way to enjoy them then after aging them in a oak barrel. This week I talk with Ryan Pachmayer and accomplished home brewer and author about how to prepare the barrel, use it and maintain it after.
