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.

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, ...

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.

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...
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.
So as home brewers we know what we like for ingredients for our beer and, I think one of the most critical (and hardest to choose from) is hops.
Hops can vary in flavour, aroma and bitterness, but I find what influence these is where its grown.
This week we talk to local hop grower Ian Murchison of Battle House Hops about his farm and what he grows.

So this week ( really last weekend ) I installed a Nitro tap on my Kegerator and it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be mainly due to the help I had.

Hey Guys,
So most people know I love a good dark beer specifically stouts.
There is something about this style of beer that I just love from the flavour, aroma, colour and how you can make them totally your own with a bit of experimenting.
Also I'm working on how to add a new tap to you kegerator so stick around and join me for a beer.
So been a while since the last show so Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
In this episode I talk about something I consider to be in the realm on dark magic.
What is it you ask? Well I'm talking about dry hopping.
This week I talk about a new piece of gear I got from Brewers Hardware.
Check them out when you have time.

So this week I talk about how I got started home brewing and what you really need to get started.
With that said I also talk about what happens when you go down the rabbit hole and your home brewing gear evolves.
So this past week I made a baltic porter and did it give me a run for my money.
Everything started out great and as the day progressed the hiccups started and turned into speed bumps to craters to which, thankfully, I was able to dig myself out.
A stuck sparge, pump clogging on the Brewzilla and yeast not activating for 6 days.
This was one hell of a ride.
Where do you go when you have question about making beer and google really doesn't help?
Well the answer is your local homebrew shop.
This week I talk with Christian and Derek from the Community Brew Shop about how they got started and what its like to be running a online homebrew shop.

So this week I got to talk with Rod Maccoux and his partner Dawn and got to learn what is like to be brewing with no sight what so ever.
In a past episode I talk with the Blind brew Guy Fred Coleman and heard what its like for him, but hearing how Rod and Dawn work together to make some amazing beer is truly remarkable.
If you have and info for Rod and adaptive gear for the visually impaired for brewing please let me know so I can ...
Hey Folks so we're talking about one of my Favourite beer styles the Baltic Porter.
Porter is a style of beer that was developed in London, England, in the early 18th century. It was well-hopped and dark in appearance owing to the use of brown malt. The name originated from its popularity with street and river porters.
The popularity of porter was significant, and it became the first beer style to be brewed across the world, and pr...
This has to be one of my favourite beers, not cause it looks like a stout , but because it is full of flavour.
Schwarzbier basically means black beer. There is evidence that points to a similar evolution to a dunkel, yes they are both a dark or black lager but the characteristics of the Schwarzbier is more in line of an English Porter.
In a glass, Schwarzbier looks much like a British dark ale, but looks can be deceiving. Schwarzbi...
