  • Cutting through the superstition

    There is so much anecdotal information on what matters when home brewing that is reinforced on tradition alone, and causes extra effort without really mattering.

    Brulosophy cuts through tribalism by putting these traditions to the test. Sensory panels with triangle tests let us know if differences are enough to merit changing the brewing process.

  • Best homebrewing podcast out there

    Marshall and the gang put out a consistently top tier show, challenging the conventional brewing lore/dogma/way of doing things to find out what really matters through experimentation. Marshall is a very thoughtful host, who brings a mix of curiosity, scientific rigor, and humanity to this show. As a fellow scientist who is down to earth, loves beers, and hates self-absorbed jerks, I really relate to and appreciate this show. Keep doing what yall do.

  • Great Beer Brewing Pod

    Have been listening a while now. Love the pod. Great hosts. Fun. Knowledgeable and definitely great that they challenge the “norm” with brewing experiments and the subsequent taste testing.

    Been into All Grain for a year now. Brewing a lot longer but I’m obsessed….

    I’ve finally found something I truly enjoy, releases my inner creativity and enjoy really good beer at the end of it.

    So far 60 weeks in… 35 Brewdays and half of those are different styles.

    Have picked up a lot of good information ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Comparing Chico Yeasts In A Session IPA
Q: What are your thoughts on this crazy preference rating that we're seeing here?
Martin Keen found the roughly three-to-one preference for US-05 surprising, especially because only two of the 52 participants who detected a difference said they had no actual perception of one. He noted that familiarity with US-05 might have affected preferences.
Comparing Chico Yeasts In A Session IPA
Q: How many participants actually identified the different sample?
Of the 84 completed responses, 52 participants correctly identified the different beer, which was above the 36 responses needed for statistical significance.
Brü & A #45
Q: Could you help me identify a corn chip tortilla like off flavor I get on the finish of my beers?
Schott says the flavor sounds more like 2-acetylpyridine than DMS. He suggests investigating the kettle's heat, malt source, boil vigor, and wort chilling.
Brü & A #45
Q: What is Jordan's exact procedure for adding flowables to his fermentation, specifically Spectrum, so that it mixes but doesn't lead to oxidation?
Schott says he has not used flowables and suggests contacting Jordan directly. He guesses Jordan follows the package recommendations but does not offer a definite procedure.
Brü & A #44
Q: I've heard high yeast attenuation can increase IBU. Is this true and how does it affect recipe design?
Attenuation doesn't increase the actual IBU; it changes mouthfeel and perception, so higher attenuation can make bitterness seem more pronounced, especially if malt body is reduced, and carbonation and finish can modulate that perception.
