Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beer Prime - Episode 123 - Concrete Blues
Q: What is your boil pH and how does it influence your beer profile?
The boil pH is around 5.2, with some salts in the water; this helps keep a clean profile and supports the English-style bitters that define the beer.
Beer Prime - Episode 125 - Collabageddon 2025
Q: How did it feel being asked to participate in Collabageddon?
The guest describes it as a special and meaningful invitation that validates the collaborative nature of the craft beer scene, highlighting the excitement of working with renowned partners and the opportunity to feature two beers that reflect their own brewing philosophy.
Beer Prime - Episode 122 - St Mars of the Desert
Q: What's your boil pH?
The guest explains that boil pH affects malt bitterness extraction, with a traditional target around 5.4 and ongoing curiosity about achieving a magical balance beyond standard ranges.
Beer Prime - Episode 128 - Lallemand Brewing
Q: What makes low-alcohol beer possible with LonER and similar strains?
LonER is a maltose-negative Saccharomyces strain that limits fermentable sugar uptake, allowing brewers to create beers with lower alcohol while maintaining balance and clarity, especially when combined with targeted mash temperatures and controlled fermentation conditions.
Beer Prime - Episode 129 - Pilgrim Brewery
Q: What is your favorite beer to brew and why?
John and Rory discuss Saracen and Pioneer as favorites for their complexity, with a focus on mash quality and nitrogenation, while acknowledging the challenge of brewing a lager that remains clean and balanced.
