Dave was on a business trip and was lucky enough to sit down with Matt Logan, the Head Brewer at Big Sky Brewing in Missoula Montana! I really enjoyed this one. I hope you do too! Be on the look-out for some exciting new stuff to drop from Big Sky Early 2022 such as their new DIPA, a new canning format and the return of their concert series! Also- for the record, interviewing people without Marc is rough. I really botched the intro. Thankfully Matt was gracious and let me do another take. In this Episode: Don't kill spiders in a brewery A very good discussion on Diacetyl (~30 min mark) off flavors and a simple test you can do at home Discussion on O2 uptake and staling compounds (~40 min mark) Dave Confesses his No-Chill heresy to Matt. It goes surprisingly well.
