  • Brewing Science Heaven!

    I’ve been listening to beer podcasts for well over a decade now, and MBAA's podcast is by far the best for getting the most succinct brewing industry technical knowledge! This podcast sold me on finally getting a membership with the MBAA too. Yeah, the audio/production quality for the first several episodes were garbage (when not being a brewer, I’m a broadcast journalist with the Air National Guard), but it’s much better now. Keep that in mind for the first several if you find your face conform... more

  • The best beer education out there

    I love attending CBC and watching BA, ASBC and MB webcast seminars, but IMHO, this is the most educational 30 - 40 minute investment a pro brewer can make. Episode after episode is packed with valuable information.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 353: Dialing in PUs with Yeast Ascopores
Q: If a mid-sized craft brewery wants to use this, what's the minimum viable setup?
They should produce ascospores and conduct pasteurization verification trials.
Episode 353: Dialing in PUs with Yeast Ascopores
Q: What's wrong with treating 80 to 120 PU for non-alcoholic beer as gospel?
That's based on outdated data; different microorganisms have varied resistance factors.
Episode 353: Dialing in PUs with Yeast Ascopores
Q: What are the biggest brewery side factors that can make microbes tougher right before pasteurization?
Microbes can survive cleaning and build resistance through biofilm formation.
Episode 353: Dialing in PUs with Yeast Ascopores
Q: Why does low pH change survivability, and how does that translate into pasteurization needs?
Lower pH inactivates microorganisms faster and affects their ability to grow.
Episode 353: Dialing in PUs with Yeast Ascopores
Q: What's the real problem you're solving here?
Many people don't know how to pasteurize their beverages properly, leading to over-pasteurization.
