  • 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 | 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.
Brew Strong | Question and Answer: Open Fermentation, Expanding Your Home Brewery, etc.
Q: What are the major mistakes made when first attempting to brew a Cascade?
Temperature control and oxygen pickup are two key challenges for home brewers attempting to make quality Cascade beer.
Brew Strong | Robert Bell from Hogshead Brewery Talking Cask Ales
Q: Can you describe cask ale and how it is important to Hogshead?
Cask ale is central to Hogshead's identity, emphasizing its distinct flavor profile and lower carbonation compared to keg beers. It differentiates them from other breweries.
