Yet another check-in as we move into Phase 2. We hear from watering holes and breweries about how they're moving forward with customers being able to return, get some listener feedback, and get a teaser for the upcoming new interview.
A little chat about what beer "flipped the switch" for me, what the ions in brewing salts actually do, and more ponderings in the time of quarantine.
This week on our lil' episode I ask myself another of the "fun" questions I unfairly ask everyone else, we dive into the basics of pH and why it's so important in brewing, revisit last week's discussion via a question posted on FB, and discuss things found on the youtubes. Enjoy!
