Podcasts about Malt

Last week, we hosted a series of three webinars focused on different aspects of nonalcoholic brewing. In this episode of the podcast, we share an excerpt from the first session—focused on formulation—featuring Notch founder Chris Lohring, Halfway Crooks cofounder Shawn Cooper, and Abstrax Hops technical sales manager Craig Thomas. Through the course of the conversation, the trio discuss malt choices and process for NA beers, hop usage and different formats, dialing in bitterness, building body without sweetness, adjusting chloride content for fullness, and much more. If this piques your interest, the full webinars are available for viewing on our website: Formulation Fermentation Finishing G&D Chillers A quick word for the brewers out there staring down a broken chiller.

Rowan van Dijk of Moersleutel interviews Davide Callegari of Brew York.This Episode is Sponsored by:Berkeley YeastOur Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.SennosSennos is redefining fermentation intelligence.

In Episode 199, Delo sits down with Michael Merendino, the founder of Crust Simply Italian and a fixture in the Arizona hospitality scene. Born and raised in New York, Michael shares his incredible journey from waiting tables at Mastro's Ocean Club—where he made $1,000 a night during the golden era of steakhouses—to buying a 7-foot pizza oven before he even had a lease for his first restaurant. This conversation is a masterclass in grit, "scrappy" entrepreneurship, and the relentless pursuit of authentic hospitality.Michael opens up about the early days of opening Crust in 2007, making "every mistake possible," including opening without silverware and forgetting to wash the romaine lettuce on day one. He and Delo discuss the evolution of the restaurant industry from labor costs to the "MALT" principle (Music, Ambiance, Lighting, Temperature) that defines a great dining experience. They also dive deep into his expansion into the craft cocktail world with The Ostrich, a basement speakeasy in a 100-year-old hotel that houses feathers from the actual ostrich farm of Dr. Chandler.Whether you're a restaurateur navigating the chaotic waters of construction and permitting, or just a lover of great food and stories, this episode delivers. Michael explains why "touching every table" is still the secret sauce to retention, how he balances running a multi-concept portfolio while keeping a "family" culture, and even claims a little credit for the invention of lobster mashed potatoes.Chapter Guide:(0:00 - 3:15) Intro: Family Life & The "Scottsdale Love Story"(3:16 - 8:42) The Golden Era: Making $1k/Night at Mastro's(8:43 - 15:20) The First Crust: Buying an Oven Before a Lease(15:21 - 22:10) The Ostrich: Building a Speakeasy in a Basement(22:11 - 28:45) Scaling Up: Why "Touching Tables" Matters(28:46 - 35:30) Leadership: Managing Headaches & Celebrating Wins(35:31 - 40:37) Rapid Fire: MALT, Steaks, & Lobster Mashed Potatoes

Generally speaking, there's some correlation between brewery scale and lager quality, and while there are plenty of exceptions to every rule, there's no denying that honing lager beers into the best versions of themselves requires repetition, time, and access to the best ingredients. But over the past few years, an ever-increasing number of very small craft brewers have found success in the major competitions not despite their size, but because of it. Ferndale, Michigan's Urbanrest firmly sits in that group, and their recent gold medal in the American Pilsner category at GABF is further proof that careful process and thoughtful beer design aren't dependent on scale. The beer itself, Kaiser, started as a Franconian-inspired kellerpils, but over the years has morphed into what they now call American pils. And funny enough, it contains only Vienna-style malt from small craft maltster and none of the pils malt that most would expect. But that's not the only way they've strayed from the classic narrative. In this episode, founder and brewer Zach Typinski discusses how they: ferment German lager with a dry 34/70 strain while fermenting American pils with a liquid 34/70 blend various base malts in both lager and IPA find the perfect amount of “rusticity” in American pils manage direct-fire kettle caramelization in lieu of decoction krausen lagered beer for carbonation since the brewery doesn't own a carb stone build texture and retain foam through the krausening process source and contract great hops despite their small size And more. G&D Chillers G&D's biggest edge isn't just the equipment—it's their deep understanding of brewery operations. From layout to production flow, they bring real-world expertise and build reliable systems that last, whether it's a single-stage 5H or a Vertical Air Chiller. New Belgium Brewing recently partnered with G&D to install a propane-based Elite 290 chiller —delivering around 50% energy savings compared to CO₂ systems. As Andy Collins, New Belgium's Carbon Neutral Engineer, put it: “We're really happy to work with a partner like G&D Chillers who helped us significantly reduce the amount of HFCs used in our refrigeration systems.” With 24/7 support and remote monitoring, your cold side stays dialed in—day or night.

Through his decades of work in the brewing industry, many spent in R&D and quality at Sierra Nevada, Tom Nielsen has played a critical role in getting craft beer a seat at the broader brewing table. While industry advocacy groups were once dominated by macro brewers pursuing their own narrow goals, Nielsen (and a cohort of craft contemporaries) helped change the bigger conversation, connect ingredient producers and processors with brewer end users, and usher in a new golden age for hops flavor and aroma as well as malting-barley quality. Now Nielsen is tackling a new challenge—scaling down while maintaining the same rigorous approach to quality—as he builds the brewing program for the forthcoming Emberside Brewery in his home state of New Jersey. In this episode, Nielsen discusses: the development of the innovation process at Sierra Nevada perfecting Pale Ale and how the brewery prioritized R&D factors that improve packaged beer stability evaluating quality in crystal malts testing malt quality and consistency with equipment such as the farinator moving beyond visual inspection for barley and hops improving malt flavor with new (and old) barley varieties advances in pelletizing that retain more hop punch blending science, sensory, and a bit of art to achieve great beer And more. G&D Chillers G&D now offers their Elite 290 Micro-series with 5H chillers—bringing even more flexibility to their propane-powered lineup. In fact, they're building one right now for Red Clover Ale Co in partnership with Efficiency Vermont. It runs on a Natural Refrigerant with near-zero Global Warming Potential—projected to deliver around 10% more efficiency than A2L refrigerant systems. That's smart sustainability backed by proven engineering and trusted performance. With 24/7 support and remote monitoring, your cold side stays dialed in—day or night.

Malt c'est la plateforme leader du freelancing en Europe, qui met en relation des freelances avec des entreprises.Dans cet épisode, Nicolas revient sur son principal défi de ces dernières années : mettre en place et structurer une approche MLOps chez Malt, dans un contexte déjà mature côté data, puis l'adapter à l'arrivée massive des IA génératives.On aborde :

Fritz Family founder Cory Buenning brewed from the mid-90's through the mid 20-teens for Wyoming craft beer pioneers Snake River, but the itch to do his own thing was strong, and after returning to Colorado after a few years in Kentucky, he leased the old Bootstrap brewery in Niwot, installed a new brewhouse and cellar, and got to work making the beers he wanted to make—a variety of primarily lager beer, brewed thoughtfully and carefully. Years later, the brewery has developed a strong following among locals, but is also a favorite hangout for the area's brewers, and you'll often find brewers from neighboring breweries at the Fritz bar for a post-shift beer. It's brewers beer, after all—easy to drink, impeccably made, and unassuming. In this episode, Buenning shares his approach to making refined lagers at a taproom scale, and along the way discusses: how cold knockouts, cold fermentation, and no diacetyl rest make better lagers brewing with an jacketed oil-heated brewhouse rather than steam-heated acidifying the mash using sauergut building body in clear beer through proteins not carbohydrates carbonating naturally via capped tank using forced fermentation tests on all lagers managing gelatinization issues with European malt through modified step mashing ingredient approaches to Pilsner, helles, and Kölsch understanding yeast timing and performance to dial in harvesting and rep itching managing head pressure with 34/70 to reduce sulfur And more.

The eisbock story is a fun lore of beer myth, a hapless brewery employee left a barrel of doppelbock outside during a snowstorm in Germany and some of the beer froze, concentrating flavor and thus creating a whole new beer style. While the roots of this story may not wholly be true, it's a fun addition to a beer style made by distillation processes at its most base level.These beers are rare in the United States as you need special licenses to make them but in Europe, the rules are a bit different and in some European countries, these beers, not just eisbocks, have taken on a life of their own. And this is before we start talking about other drinks like the amazing ice cider made by freeze distillation.How does the freezing process work and what changes does it make to these drinks? This month on the All About Beer podcast, we talk to three guests with unique views on this chilly process. Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.This Episode is Sponsored by:HopsteinerThis episode is brought to you by LLZ™ - Hopsteiner's new water-soluble citrus aroma extract.

Remember when we were growing up and we'd hear things like “Better calm down, you're gonna give yourself an ulcer!” It was thought back then that stress and spicy food caused ulcers.Around 1979, Dr. Robin Warren and Barry Marshall started noticing these spiral-shaped bacteria while doing stomach biopsies of patients with gastritis.Then a crazy thing happened: The Easter Breakthrough.In 1982, a lab technician accidentally left their samples in the incubator for five days over the Easter holiday instead of the two-day standard at the time. This mistake allowed enough time for the H. pylori colonies to grow and appear.By 1983, Marshall had isolated the bacteria and found that it was present in 100% of the patients they tested who had ulcers. They had discovered the cause of ulcers.They presented their findings at a conference in Brussels. Their hope was that they had discovered a cure for an extremely painful disease that sentenced patients to a lifetime of eating bland foods and antacid pills.Marshall presented his findings at the conference in Brussels and the crowd celebrated his massive accomplishment. He received a standing ovation, he was Time's Person of the Year, millions of patients around the globe were cured, and Marshall was celebrated as a hero.Wait, I'm sorry, I got that wrong.The medical community viciously attacked him, saying that he was a “young nobody from Perth” who had no reputation, and senior doctors even called his theory “reckless and preposterous.” They said the stomach is a sterile environment and that no bacteria could survive in that acidic environment.Another group within the medical establishment believed that almost all diseases were “repressed emotional responses.” They said: “The critical factor in the development of ulcers is the frustration associated with the wish to receive love.”They literally thought ulcers were caused by people not getting enough love.Marshall was devastated, frustrated, and a bit angry that no one was listening to him, looking at the evidence, or—more importantly—helping the patients.Marshall attempted to perform studies to prove his theory, but the medical establishment kept throwing up roadblocks. In order to run a human test, he had to reproduce the results in animals first, but that didn't work in this case.So what did he do? He tested it on the “only ethical subject”: himself.In 1984, Marshall took the bacteria from an infected patient and drank it himself!After three days, he developed nausea and halitosis (extreme bad breath) because the bacteria neutralized his stomach acid. By day eight, an endoscopy showed massive stomach inflammation and colonies of the bacteria H. pylori.By day 10, the endoscopy found a raw, red, inflamed stomach lining. By day 14, Marshall began to fear for his health and started a therapy of antibiotics and bismuth.Marshall had just proven that H. pylori caused gastritis, and gastritis eventually causes ulcers.But even after the experiment, the medical establishment wouldn't surrender or change course!In 1985, he successfully published his self-experiment in the Medical Journal of Australia. But it was largely ignored.For a decade, ulcer victims had started talking about an “underground cure” called “the Marshall Treatment.” This was basically antibiotics.It wasn't for another full decade (1994) until the National Institutes of Health officially stated that most ulcers were caused by H. pylori and should be treated with antibiotics.This change effectively killed the billion-dollar market for long-term antacid maintenance, which Marshall later called “the ultimate satisfaction.”And it wasn't for another decade until Marshall received the Nobel Prize in 2005.Today, about half of the decline in stomach cancer is attributed to Marshall's discovery.Marshall's discovery was ignored for a decade. What was the impact of that? Let's look at some numbers.At that time, about 700,000 people died from stomach cancer per year. Let's say just a modest 25% of those could be saved by Marshall's solution of “Screen and Treat” with antibiotics.That means that at least 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 people may have been saved if Marshall's discovery had been recognized earlier.Thankfully, in 2005, Marshall and his colleague Robin Warren were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.Because of Marshall and Warren's work, the World Health Organization (WHO) now classifies H. pylori as a carcinogen. This discovery also sparked the first “antibiotic cure” for a cancer. A rare type of stomach tumor called MALT lymphoma can often be completely cured just by taking antibiotics to kill the bacteria.I love this story because it's a perfect case study in how the “experts” can be dead wrong for decades. It's a classic case of “appeal to authority,” where “experts” dismissed the correct answer, not because of fundamental truth, but only because Marshall was not a part of their Tribe. He wasn't an “expert”. It's a reminder that people that change the world and make massive discoveries are often considered heretics, stupid, evil, or worse. The establishment chose to believe ulcers were caused by a “lack of love” rather than a bacteria because their dogma was profitable and comfortable. It is another reminder that the system isn't built to find the truth. It is built to protect itself and if you want to do something great or different, it could take you decades of being called a monster before anyone ever believes you. Just ask Alan Turing or Galileo. I'm very sorry for the lack of updates lately. Santa brought our 7 year old a ATV 4-wheeler for Christmas and I flipped it and broke 3 ribs. I'm recovering now but it was a rough patch there.

In this episode of Rod J BeerVentures, I'm joined by Ian Goering, Director of Operations at Blue Ox Malthouse, for an in-depth and approachable conversation about malt and its impact on beer—from professional brewing to homebrewing and everyday beer enjoyment.Malt is one of the most important beer ingredients, yet it's often overshadowed by hops and yeast. In this discussion, we break down what malt does in beer, how it affects flavor, aroma, mouthfeel, color, and balance, and why understanding malt can completely change how you experience your favorite beer styles. Whether you're a craft beer fan, homebrewer, or industry professional, this episode delivers insight without getting overly technical.Ian shares a behind-the-scenes look at the malting process, explains how malt selection influences brewing outcomes, and offers perspective on how Blue Ok Malthouse works with breweries to help shape beer character. We also dive into beer industry trends, brewing decisions, and common misconceptions about malt that many beer drinkers don't realize they have.This episode is designed for beer fans of all levels—you don't need to brew beer to enjoy it. If you've ever wondered why certain beers taste richer, smoother, darker, or more complex, this conversation will help you understand beer from grain to glass.

Viens ēd, lai izdzīvotu, cits dzīvo, lai ēstu, bet visām civilizācijas sabiedrībām jau kopš senseniem laikiem ir bijis paradums pulcēties uz maltīti un ēdienu likt īpašā godā kā svētkos, tā ikdienā. Kā mēs uztveram ēdienu? Kā veidojušies mūsu ēšanas paradumi? Ko par sabiedrību un laikmetu, kurā dzīvojam, stāsta mūsu ikdienas un svētku uzturs un kā maltīte savulaik vienojusi un šķēlusi tautas?  Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā sarunājas Latvijas Universitātes Uztveres un kognitīvo sistēmu laboratorijas vadītājs, profesors Jurģis Šķilters, ēdiena kultūras pētniece Astra Spalvēna un vēsturnieks, Latvijas Universitātes profesors Gvido Straube. Bet ar kādiem ēdieniem un garšām pašiem raidījuma viesiem saistās Ziemassvētki? "Piparkūkas un piparkūku smarža gada nogales svētkus ieved manā mājā," atzīst Astra Spalvēna.  Jurģis Šķilters atzīst, ka galvenais ir smarža. "Iedomājoties Ziemassvētkus, uzreiz jādomā par piparkūkām, droši vien arī par mandarīniem," bilst Jurģis Šķilters. "Droši vien arī attiecības ar ģimeni - miers. Ēdiens ir tāds nedaudz pakārtots smaržas un noskaņas salikumam." "Jāņem vērā, ka Ziemassvētki ir ārkārtējs pasākums, kur smaržas ir krietni bagātākās nekā ikdienā. Tas ir kaut kas sevišķs," papildina Gvido Straube. "Varbūt arī tas, ka tur ir gan piparkūkas, gan cepeši un... Tas rada to kopējo noskaņojumu. Vēl eglīte un dāvanas. Ir lielāka cilvēku pulka sanākšana kopa. Tas ir pasākums, ko cilvēki lielākoties ir ļoti gaidījuši, bērni vairāk, jo ir dāvanas, pieaugušiem vairāk kā problēmas. Bet tas ir gada viens no svarīgākajiem notikumiem."

When Brian Grossman started working for the brewery his father co-founded he expected to be making beer right away. Instead he was put to work scrubbing out fermenters. Over the years at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. he has held a number of jobs in both the original Chico, California location and in the Mills River, North Carolina brewery. Today he goes by chief brewer and is increasingly becoming the public face of the venerable beer brand that just celebrated its 45th anniversary. Earlier today, shortly before the North Carolina brewery opened its doors to the public for pours of Celly Drippins, he sat down for a conversation about generations, responsibility, brewing and hops.
