Hello, I am Adam! I am Head Brewer at Cartridge Brewing outside of Cincinnati, OH. As a former HS and university educator, and I have been making beer for a living for over a decade. My goal here is to give a behind-the-scenes look into the craft brewing industry, and to share any knowledge I have. I am not the perfect brewer, but I am always pushing myself to get better and to learn more. Our goal in the brewhouse is to always aim for the bullseye, knowing we will never hit it. That mantra keeps us focused on continual growth, and helps us appreciate the journey of improving as brewers.

    ***Note*** I messed up the question about glycol left in the tank jacket. Please allow me some grace as this is all done live, and I got mixed up! Thanks! This is what the AI Overview on Google has to say about it: "No, glycol does not expand when it gets cold; in fact, unlike water, glycol contracts when it freezes, meaning its volume decreases as the temperature drops to its freezing point."
