So a while back I asked if anyone wanted to talk about the adventure in brewing and Fred was the first one to answer the call Fred lives Phoenix Arizona area, where he does most of his brewing, but does spend about five months in the summer back at his family cabin in Minnesota. Fred says "I don’t do a lot of brewing there but as of last year a friend and I started brewing up there so I think I’ll increase my brewing activity in Minnesota". Fred first home brewed with his brother in the late 1980’s. That didn’t last long and then in 2017 bought a Mr. Beer kit. After a couple batches he bought an beginners extract kit and after a year or so started brewing all-grain BIAB. This has worked well for him with his eyesight. There is much more to Freds Story so have a listen and let me know if you wold like to talk about your adventure on the show. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dan-matthews2/message

So this week we talked with Escarpment Labs Co Founder Richard Preiss about Kveik Yeast and what makes them such a unique ingredient to beer making. This yeast is relatively new to North America and comes from Norway. In the olden days all Norwegian farmers brewed beer from their own grain. The yeast was kept by the farmers themselves between brews. If someone had a brew go sour, or found that the yeast in any way had gone bad or died, they were supplied with new, healthy yeast from a neighboring farm. As the farming was modernized and beer became commercially available, most of the farmhouse brewing died out and the yeast with it. Many places where the brewing tradition survived brewers started to use bread yeast from the local store instead of the old yeast from the farm.
