  • 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

  • Best brewing podcast

    Great homebrewing content and overall very high quality podcast, especially the audio quality. Brulosophy made me a better brewer even after getting a college education in brewing.

  • WITH ALL DUE RESPECT

    Certain episodes on this podcast, include data, experiments, and brewing concepts that are genuinely interesting. However, the hosting style—specifically Marshall's personality/voice—makes it incredibly difficult to get through an episode. He’s that one acquaintance with exhausting internal anxiety and weird social energy, where he can’t just say, "I don't really care for IPAs," without immediately panicking that they've offended the room. He traps himself into a frustrating, repetitive defensi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Brü & A #43
Q: David Coons asks about starting yeast vs. pitching rate and how to approach yeast management for various beer styles.
The host emphasizes that pitching the right amount of viable yeast is crucial and that yeast starters are a tool, not a magic solution; the focus should be on proper pitch rate and using starters when appropriate for accuracy and viability.
Brü & A #43
Q: Nicholas Hubbard asks if homebrewers should be concerned about a downturn in gear innovation as demand drops.
The host notes the market downturn has reduced sponsorships but remains hopeful that established companies will continue to release new gear, while acknowledging the industry-wide challenges and the importance of adapting to the changing landscape.
Impact Gelatin Fining In The Keg Has On A Kölsch
Q: So all right, using gelatin in beer, how do you do this?
The hosts explain a practical method: dissolve about 2-3 grams of gelatin in roughly 60 milliliters of boiling water, fully dissolve, then add to beer cooled below about 10 C (50 F), and typically add after cold crash, with the process adjusted for whether you're fining in the fermenter or the serving keg.
exBEERience: All Day IPA w/ Jeremy Kosmicki
Q: How did the packaging decisions (like 15-packs and cans) influence All Day IPA's success?
Packaging shifts, especially the 15-pack format and cannings, created a strong value proposition and convenience that helped drive volume and expand distribution beyond early regional markets.
