Marshall Schott founded Brülosophy all the way back in 2014 with a goal of learning about the purported dos and don'ts of brewing and sharing information with others. This week, we're sharing Marshall's live Q&A session he did with Patrons of Brülosophy, those fans who appreciate what we do enough to toss a few bucks our way every month. The Brülosophy Podcast is brought to you by Imperial Yeast who provide brewers with the most viable and fresh yeast on the market.

As 2020 winds down, what better way to shift into a new year than to have a whole show dedicated to homebrewing? We invited Marshall Schott from Brulosophy on the show to give us the five more popular homebrewing subjects (according to brulosophy.com), and a little bit about each experiment.

FiftyFifty Brewing's Alicia Barr talks craft beer and cannibalism FiftyFifty Brewing's co-founders Alicia and Andrew Barr were both working as engineers when they decided they'd had enough of the rate race and wanted a change of pace. After some planning, they loaded up the truck and the moved to Truckee... California that is. The Barrs homebrewed prior to starting their brewery but chose not to bring any of their recipes over to production. They hired a pro to take care of the brewing and recipe development. That seemed to work out pretty well as it didn't take long before the brewery's Eclipse variants became highly sought after. I recall (mostly) my first time trying Eclipse, a couple of variants at a bottle share. Deep, rich, and luxurious stouts in bourbon or rye barrels or treated with coffee. 2019 even saw a Jägermeister variant. Although Eclipse is what most people know them for FiftyFifty brews a variant of beers, including the tasty West Coast Haze. Alicia Barr joins us this week to talk about their growth from a pub to a production brewery, the challenges of finding warehouse space in a tiny town, earning GABF's Brewery Group of the Year Award, and the "fun" of having a brewery in the same town where the Donner Party spent their fateful winter. It's about time we worked some good cannibalism conversation into the show.

Brülosophy’s Marshall Schott talks exBEERimentation We all know the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." However, Marshall Schott of Brülosophy reminds us that just because something isn't broken doesn't mean it can't be improved. Schott and a team of other hardcore homebrewers at Brülosophy examine some of the long-held traditions of brewing to see if there's a better way to do things. Sometimes they do find a better way, and occasionally that upsets a few people. It can be tough to let go of traditions. Through their "exBEERiments" the Brülosophy team has tested the idea that a lager needs months of lagering to be great, the importance/necessity of long mash times and boils for your beers, fermentation temperatures, and a host of other brewing methods. They've helped a lot of homebrewers in making better beer, and even a few professional brewers. One of the best things about these exBEERiments is it gets people talking about the way we brew. Brülosophy shares Short & Shoddy recipes to give you a tasty beer and a quick brew day. (Photo: Brülosophy)[/caption] Learn more about hops and yeast from Brülosophy Brülosophy has a host of other resources on their site as well. The Hop Chronicles examine the performance of hop varieties in single hop beers and Short & Shoddy offers up quick recipes for various brews. They also share several methods for brewing including mashing, kegging, fermenting, and how to harvest your own yeast. It's a one-stop information shop over there. If you're more of a listener than a reader (and we definitely hope that's the case) you can check out the Brülosophy Podcast for more on their exBEERiments, Q&A sessions with the team and industry experts, and plenty of other brewing-related topics. Won't you take me to, Monkey Town We took a quick road trip to Tennessee recently and found ourselves at Monkey Town Brewing in Dayton, home of the Scopes Monkey Trial. None of my friends were familiar with the case, but it's a pretty interesting case. The short of it is that a high school teacher (John T. Scopes) was accused of teaching evolution in school at a time when that was illegal. He didn't recall ever teaching evolution but took the fall as he thought it would be good publicity for the town. As promised in the show, here's the link to the Wiki on the Scopes Trial. The folks at Monkey Town were extremely friendly and offered up some great beers, especially their NEIPAs and pastry stouts. If you find yourself in Dayton we recommend you stop by. Shout out to the crew at Brew Chatt for the recommendation!

The Session welcomes back Marshall Schott from the insanely popular Brulosophy blog! Normally, he sends us one beer to try on the show, but this time he fired out two, which is great for us because we get extra beer. One was part of his Hop Chronicles series, taking a single hop and trying to get some ultra-detailed information on flavor and aroma, and the other was the classic triangle tests we have done a few times before. We always learn something when Marshall is on, and this show was no exception. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Attention, attention... this episode is brought to you by an accidentally awesome quirk of fate. After we announced our experiment (Saison Yeast - Airlock vs. Open Ferment - Does it prevent "stall") way back when, our itinerant "Science" co-host Marshall Schott let us know that his site, Brulosophy.com was running the same experiment! We waited and coordinated our experimental results release. Marshall released his results earlier this week and now we get together and discuss our results plus his. There are a total of five experimental runs here and what do they say? Well, put yer earbuds in and listen! (And if you think this is the last time we're doing this.. ha, you don't know how all this works! Maybe we'll do it on purpose next time!) From our time in the Casa Verde labs, we move back to Baltimore and spend some time with the Free State Homebrew Club Guild at HomeBrewCon's "Craft Beer Kickoff" Party. We had a heck of a time with the various club members and we hope you learn a thing or two! (Plus, hey - why do you homebrew?) So come along with as we talk to a raft of clubs and a beer "celeb" or two!

First time ever! Denny and Drew and a thousand of their favorite friends are in the same room - the Expo hall at the 2016 American Homebrewer's Association "HomebrewCon". We sat down in the BrewcraftUSA booth and talked with a bunch of different folks including some of our sponsors and some of our very favorite people - including IGOR Nicki Forster who brought us a beer to taste, Marshall Schott who abused us with a triangle test and another listener, Keith Baker, who dropped a beer on Denny to make him crazy! This episode is jammed packed with questions, answers, and really interesting people so give it a listen! (Also this is your last chance to drop some money on the pooches before we get to our next charity!) Also, a big thanks to listener Chris Nelson for our wonderful "Wrath of Conn" poster that you see on the site.
