My Adventures in Homebrewing

Hey Folks,

So this week we Talk with Mandy Naglich from Beers with Mandy about beer Glasses.

While I feel a glass is meant to get beer from point A to point B there is a bit more to it and some history as well.

While the first drinking container was a wine/water skin things evolved to what we have now with glassware.

So come and join us for a bee or two along the way.

So as home brewers we know what we like for ingredients for our beer and, I think one of the most critical (and hardest to choose from) is hops.

Hops can vary in flavour, aroma and bitterness, but I find what influence these is where its grown.

This week we talk to local hop grower Ian Murchison of Battle House Hops about his farm and what he grows.

Check out the links from there Instagram for a tour of the battle house

I love things all dark beer, stouts, porters and what better way to enjoy them then after aging them in a oak barrel.

This week I talk with Ryan Pachmayer and accomplished home brewer and author about how to prepare the barrel, use it and maintain it after.

So this week we talk with a new friend and podcaster Andrew Saunders host for the Homebrew Pub podcast.

From Essex England Andrew came to the US and found his love of beer in Colorado.

He has had some of his beer done on the commercial scale with some great success.

Some along for the ride as Andrew and I talk podcasts, beer and everything in between.

Here is the recipe Andrew told us about:

Hey Guys,

So most people know I love a good dark beer specifically stouts.

There is something about this style of beer that I just love from the flavour, aroma, colour and how you can make them totally your own with a bit of experimenting.

Also I'm working on how to add a new tap to you kegerator so stick around and join me for a beer.
