The Craft Fermentation Podcast

Today we will be hearing from a trio of fermentation rockstars, Lauren Price, Charlotte Crott and Lauren Houston, the women behind the Sacramento, CA Mindscape Fermentations. When this talk took place back in Spring of 2022 their brewery was still about a month away from opening and their goal with this talk was to provide a comprehensive resource and roadmap for future folks who would be looking to start their own brewery, something they themselves wish they had had. They start with concept, future growth model planning & of course the inevitable financing discussion! Their openness and honesty here is something you just don't hear many folks being willing to share. They then walk us through each step they took from asking friends for money, figuring out how to deal in commercial real estate, hiring an architect and engineers. equipment buying, brewery layout, permitting and licensing, contractor bidding and so much more! And as a former small business owner myself the advice they give for what you can considering DIYing and what you should pay a professional to take care of resonated quite a bit. I for one think they more than succeeded in their goal with this talk, it really is a goldmine, so listen in and learn most everything you need to consider if you want to start up your own craft fermentation business!

Today we will be hearing from Jesse Bousard, who at the time was the Executive Director of the Craft Maltster's Guild & Hannah Turner , director of barley, malt and brewing quality lab at Montana State University. Jesse introduces us to the craft malt guild, shares craft malts origin stories and then emphasizes why craft malt is so important and impactful. Hannah then gives us a lesson on how to read and understand the info given on a COA, certificate of analysis. Many of our attendees received a couple malt samples from Mainstem Malt in WA state and Admiral Malting in California and you will hear them do some sensory analysis on those. As you will hear a bit at the beginning there were some fairly extreme technical issues with getting this session up and going. Jesse ended up being fairly rushed in her presentation and then you will hear a few audio drops when Hannah is giving her presentation but regardless of tech issues Jesse and Hannah both give us some really great education here on THE foundational ingredient in beer…..malt!  This is a fairly technical talk and if you want to follow along with the slides then we recommend watching this session over on The WCFA YouTube page which is linked below.

Today we share this super popular WIBS 21 session titled How to Build A Recipe. Featuring Cat Wiest and moderated by Tyler & Laurie of the Brewd ‘up podcast. We unfortunately had some technical difficulties with our moderators intro so it may sound a bit harsh as we jump right in here with Cat but we do get to hear from Tyler and Laurie towards the end of the talk so all is not lost.  Cat tells us a bit about herself and how she came to brewing and then dives right in to dropping the knowledge. First thing in designing your recipe is to ask yourself what your goal is. Do you have a flavor profile in mind? Are you trying out a new technique? Refining a known recipe? What inspires you? Cat then walks us through her recipe for her aspirational red ale. Things get a bit technical as she gives us equations to figure yield and grist percentages, IBUs and isomerization, mash profile and temp considerations  and she answers lots of questions along the way.  Hope you all enjoy and you'll hear from me again after the talk.

We are very excited to share with you the first in a series we are calling WIBS On the Run. My wife and I were lucky enough to get to travel to Ireland this past September and thru our friends at The Beer Ladies podcast we were able to meet up with Claire Dalton of Dungarveen Brewing Co in County Waterford. She gave us a tour of the facilities along with a taste right out of the barrel of a special collab they are doing with Blackwater Distilling who are local to that area as well. I do have to apologize for the quality of the audio and the choppy nature of the edits on this episode This was the first time I recorded “in the wild” and I certainly have a lot to learn, the main one is to shut my own dang mouth and let the guest speak! Claire and I were also joined by my wife Laurel and my very great Irish friend of 25+ years Aisling you will hear them both on this recording as well. Regardless we are excited to bring a small piece of craft beer brewing in Ireland to you all here on The Craft Fermentation Podcast, enjoy!Find Dungarven Brewing atWebsite: dungarvenbrewing.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/DungarvanBrewCo/Find WCFA & Women's International Beer Summit at...Website: wcfa.beerInstagram: womensintlbeersummitYouTube: Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance This podcast is brought to you by the Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to enabling, empowering and encouraging women and non binary folks in all facets of the craft fermentation space.

We are so happy to share this WIBS 2022 session from BJCP National Beer Judge and Master Cicerone Nicole Erny. She is a beer professional from Northern California with a focus on sensory and education. For the past 13 years, she's built her career from beertending at a specialty beer bar to consumer-facing beer events to education and exam development with the Cicerone Program to sensory education, quality program development, staff training and consulting for breweries. In 2011, she became the fourth person and first woman to earn the title of Master Cicerone®. She currently works in the quality team at Faction Brewing Co and has fun as beer buyer for a small restaurant group. In this talk she shares with us some of the science of aroma, taste and flavor. She also walks us through the physical process of beer assessment and then hones in on the mental aspects as well. Our brains love to trick us into making snap judgements and confirmation bias can very much affect what we perceive. And she also touches a bit on how the challenges women naturally face in the industry can knock down our confidence and willingness to trust our own perceptual instincts. When you hear a master cicerone and overall beer badass like Nicole Erny admit she faces imposter syndrome on the regular you know that all us women are not alone in those feelings. I encourage you to grab a beer, grab a tasting glass, pen and paper and tase along. You are sure to learn something great today.

This episode features a very special WIBS 2022 roundtable discussion with three women who are creating real action for real problems, especially as it pertains to authentic representation of BIWOC folks in the beer and greater craft fermentation industry. With their critical eyes trained on not just inquiring about what the local brewery is doing to increase access but zooming out to see the overall socio economic structures that remove access for so many. With the help of Angi Thomas moderating together they ask the question what is authenticity? What does access mean and how can we explore the many different ways access is denied and can be created? These are some very impressive women ya'll and we were beyond thrilled to not only have them participate in the 2022 Women's International Beer Summit but to also be one of the organizations that received 5% of all ticket sales from WIBS 2022. I believe our donation came in just shy of $400 so thanks to all those who purchased tickets. Your money is going to a very worthy cause. We encourage you to lean in while you listen to this episode and keep your hearts and your ears open because this talk is chock full of real actionable items that each of us can be doing not just in our breweries, our work lives and our communities, but in how we think about the quality and meaning of our own lives.

Join us for our very first podcast episode! This talk was given at the 2022 Women's International Beer Summit where Linda joined us live via the magic of the internet from Oslo, Norway where she is a brewer at Eik & Tid, a commercial raw ale brewery. Linda van Loon was born and raised in the Netherlands where she fell in love with the world of yeast, bacteria and fermentation. After obtaining a degree in Life Sciences she started a career in brewing, with a focus on mixed fermentation. It was at Nevel Wild Ales where she learned about making beer in a more sustainable and local context.This interest in a more authentic way of brewing led her to Norway: to the land of kveik and raw beer. Since 2020, Linda has been working for one of the few commercial raw beer breweries in the world, Eik & Tid, where she works with raw beer and the re-use of spent grains. She is also a beer judge at the festival for traditional Norwegian brewing: Kornølfestival. And chapter leader (and co-founder) of Pink Boots Benelux and Norway (soon!). In 2021 and 2022 she received sponsor- and scholarships to accelerate her quest on making the beer industry in Europe a better place for women.This podcast is brought to you by the Women's Craft Fermentation Alliance, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to enabling, empowering and encouraging women and non binary folks in all facets of the craft fermentation space.
