With "Learn to Homebrew Day" being on November 7th, and this potentially being our last show before then, we thought it would be cool to do a show where we talk about brewing with basic gear and ingredients. Almost a Mr. Beer throwback episode! We'll get into our first setups, ask you about yours, and talk about basic brewing gear, techniques, ingredients, styles, bottle conditioning and more. And as always, drink too much on stream.
How ’bout this weather, homebrewer?! Thank you for joining us for yet another episode of the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer!

In this episode, we have Ross Hughes the Brewing Sales Executive for the US midwest region for Muntons malting company. Most of you know Muntons, but for those who don’t they are a leading global player in the supply of malts, malt extracts, flours, flakes, and many other malted ingredients relevant to the food and drink industry. After our discussion with Ross, we open up a few of our bottle conditioned Omega Yeast Brett blend saisons from Learn to Homebrew Day. We try the Saisonstein's Monster, the American Farmhouse, Where Da Funk, and Bring Da Funk.
In this episode, we discuss a variety of topics that have been on our minds the last few weeks. First off, we missed out on our holiday beers episode, but we did brew a spiced dark holiday ale for our Patron James Castellano on Learn to Homebrew Day--so we wanted to talk a little about recipe dev and the best yeast choices for a beer like that. Especially considering everyone loves around this time of year. (Well, everyone but Stubby) But we also wanted to talk about an interesting little project Chris cooked up for outings that he’s calling his camp kegerator. It rolls. It has taps. It fits three kegs. It stands up to the elements to give you beer where you need it. And last but not least, we did some BIAB experiments recently and wanted to discuss some our findings about efficiency and overall process timing.
Happy Learn to Homebrew Day! Ok, maybe that was last Saturday but we are finally getting around to uploading the audio from our video livestream (video embed below!). We had a BLAST doing the show LIVE for you guys and we want to thank those of you who could join us and for the questions […]

Big Brew 2017 – Forest City Brewers gather to brew some big beers HomeBrewRockStars hits the road for a May Brewers Guild at Steve Anthony's with the Forest City Brewers for National Home Brew Day...aka #BIGBREW2017. This podcast episode follows Steve on his awesome all grain system, Jerry Machula brewing a 5 gallon brew-in-a-bag (w/high-tech setup) and Mike Coisman & Tim Lundquist pushing the Brew Master system to the max while cloning Pliny the Younger. What a day for brewing beer and hanging with your peeps!!! We also dabble into a group tasting of Holy City's Bourbon-barreled Pilsner called "Smells Like Rick" (or was that a horse in the Derby?) as well as a mother group tasting of Founders Redankulous, and an assortment of home brews and special reserve craft beer. You gotta hang on for a hilarious skit for "is that a race horse or a beer name" and killer interviews from the days rockstar brewers! It's Big Brew 2017 ... DRINK it UP.
Saturday, May 7th is THe Ameican Homebrew Association's National Homebrew Day. Are you brewing? Are you participating in a Big Brew event? Are you toasting at 12 CDT? Are you a member of the AHA? In this special quick episode, I literally join the AHA "on air". I'm now an official member in good standing. I can't believe I haven't done it before now, but I feel better. Some of the homebrewing laws date back to prohibition. The AHA works to get homebrewing available to everyone. Also, I talk about DrinkThisBuffalo.com It's a new feature of the podcast. Call or email in your favorite beers and we'll mention them on the podcast! http://www.americanhomebrewersassociation.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
