  • Honestly Useless - Avoid

    I came looking to hear John Palmer and Jamil Zainasheff talking about home-brew and… I got vulgar-mouthed yahoos yapping. Just end the podcast already - listeners should already know to go elsewhere.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brew Strong | Dipping into the Mailsack
Q: Is it perhaps detrimental to the flavor of my beers if I pitch based on my initial gravity?
Pitch based on your actual gravity to enhance yeast growth quality.
Brew Strong | Dipping into the Mailsack
Q: How much do I collect? When should I dilute? What do I dilute?
Use grams instead of milliliters for measuring yeast concentration.
Brew Strong | Q&A With Jamil
Q: If I don't quite hit my pitching temperature, which for me is around 44F, and the work ends up sitting in a fermenter for a few hours before I pitch the yeast, am I doing damage?
As long as it's super clean, you know, it's not a big deal. The danger is in allowing the bacteria and wild yeast.
Brew Strong | Mixed Fermentation Part 1
Q: Can you give us a simple definition of mixed fermentation?
It's the combination of different yeast strains, potentially including non-Saccharomyces species.
Brew Strong | Question and Answer: Open Fermentation, Expanding Your Home Brewery, etc.
Q: How can I scale up to 2.5 gallon batches to five or ten gallon batches?
It's important to consider factors like brew house efficiency and boil-off rate rather than just doubling the ingredients; using brewing software can help accurately calculate the adjustments needed.
