Podcasts about yeast the practical guide

Jeff sits down with Lord Chandler (yes, that is his actual title) for a three-part anniversary series to celebrate 23 years. This episode they’re joined by Chris White, President and CEO of White Labs and Tom Nickel, Owner/Brewer of O'Brien's Pub, Nickel Beer Company, and West Coast Smoke and Tap House. Colby, Tom and Chris reflect on the early years of their friendship and chat about what makes San Diego such a strong brewing community. Flash backs to the days of sharing recipes and learning through books before the internet existed abound! Tom and Chris delve deeper into the beginnings of their businesses, the effects of different yeasts in beers and how brewing has shaped their lives. Later, Tom uses his medieval studies degree to dissect the true meaning of Lord Chandler’s newest titles and the four talk about Colby’s career over his 23 years with Ballast Point. Chris White: Chris White lives in San Diego, CA, where he serves as President and CEO of White Labs Inc. Chris founded White Labs in 1995 to manufacture yeast cultures and provide fermentation services to the brewing, wine, and distilling industries. Chris has a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of California San Diego and a B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of California Davis. While at Davis, Chris did a summer internship at Genentech Inc, the world's first biotechnology company. White is coauthor of Yeast: The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation, co-designer of BrewMaster: The Craft Beer Game, and has published numerous articles on yeast, beer, and fermentation. Chris White was a lecturer in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at UC San Diego from 1999-2007 and is currently teaching in Brewing Certificate Program at UC San Diego Extension. Chris was awarded the 2013 Recognition award from the American Homebrewers Association. Tom Nickel: Tom started homebrewing at the age of 18, shopping at Home Brew Mart, before he could legally buy a beer. He ended up working there for nearly three years during the time that Ballast Point Brewing was opened. In 1997 he went to work for Pizza Port with Tomme Arthur and later become the head brewer at Oggi's Pizza where he won the 2004 World Beer Cup Small Brewing Company of the Year with Jeff Bagby. Tom bought O'Brien's from founder Jim O'Brien in 2003 and has now partnered with Tyson Blake to run the pub. Realizing a dream that began in 1995, he opened Nickel Beer Company in Julian in 2013. Tom spends most of his time in Julian enjoying life above 4000 feet. Colby's favorite fact about Tom is that he earned a degree in Medieval History from Yale University (and yes, he studied monks who made beer).

 11-28-17 This is our last show of 2017! We go on our December break after this, and will return in January with new, fantastic shows! To finish 2017, we will be talking with Steve Fletty, two time Meadmaker of the Year at the National Homebrew Competition, and a member of the St. Paul Homebrew Club in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fletty has also won two Minnesota State Fair Best of Show awards (for a Russian Imperial Stout and Saison), as well as 2009 Midwest Homebrewer of the Year. While he enjoys brewing beer and making cider, mead is his serious passion. Fletty has been making mead since 2002, when he was introduced to it at a Beer Judge Certification Program study class. “Even though mead wasn’t yet a part of the exam, we did a mead tasting night with 60 meads, not kidding,” he said. “Most sucked, but two of them blew my mind. I thought, ‘I need to make that!’” One was a mesquite chipotle mead—Fletty convinced the guy who made it to divulge his secrets, and he went on to win medals with his own version. The other was a commercial pyment (fermented with a blend of honey and grapes/grape juice). Fletty’s research and hard work to replicate it won him his first Meadmaker of the Year award in 2007. In 2016, he won his second honor as Meadmaker of the Year, in large part because of his Best of Show mead called Holy Cacao, a specialty mead made with cacao nibs, Dutch cocoa, and vanilla bean.

11-21-17 We will have a mead celebrity on with this tonight! Peter Bakulic will be coming on the show to talk mead with us. Pete was introduced to winemaking at an early age as part of his family's Croatian roots in winemaking. He traveled to Lodi, California to visit family friends who were Zinfandel winegrowers and became familiar with the winemaking process. He became interested in making mead in the late seventies about the same time he was learning about brewing. After his first taste of mead Pete was hooked and took to mead making with a passion. Having majored in microbiology and minored in chemistry he was always interested in the role of yeast during fermentation and how it affects the mead, wine and beer making process, and also worked as a clinical laboratory technologist. Pete is an active judge in local mead, wine and beer competitions and has been on several different sensory panels responsible for recommending wine and spirits for corporate and private collections in downtown Los Angeles. He presents meadmaking classes to local Home Brew Clubs and Bee Keepers who are interested in learning about the process of making mead, and how to evaluate and taste mead. Pete performs sensory evaluation of commercially produced mead on a contract basis for meaderies around the world. In several cases his recommendations have lead to improvements that have garnered medals in various international mead competitions. He is the current President of the Mazer Cup International Mead Competition which is the lar gest mead only competition in the world. Pete also founded the Home Meadmaker competition at the International Mead Festival in 2006 along with David Myers and Julia Herz of Redstone Meadery. He has worked closely as an administrative partner with Vicky Rowe on GotMead.Com since 2004, where he is known as Oskaar. Pete worked with Ken Schramm, Gordon Strong, Julia Herz and other members of the BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) to define the guidelines for the current Mead Judge Certification Program and contributed articles for inclusion in the course study guide. He is also a regular presenter in the Mead Courses offered by the Honey and Pollination Center at the Robert Mondavi Institute on the U.C. Davis Campus. Pete lives in Orange County, Southern California with his oft sober hunting partner a German Shorthair named Raalphe. Join us for GotMead Live Chat, on Skype, live during the broadcast!!

Join Branden and special guest Allison Wells as we talk fermentation and how one becomes a food scientist. Show notes: Allison Wells is a graduate of the Purdue University School of Food Science. While at Purdue, she spent a summer working in France on a small, family owned winery where she helped with odd jobs and selling wine at the local farmers markets and wine shops. This experience sparked her interest in fermentation and a desire to learn more about microbiology and biochemistry. After graduation, she completed an internship at E&J Gallo Winery in their enology research lab. Allison was also awarded a two-year assistantship at Oregon State University, earning a M.S. in Food and Fermentation Science, with a focus on wine microbiology. Upon graduation Allison was hired by White Labs, a small yeast production company in San Diego. She spent three years as their yeast culture specialist, acting as a curator of over 100 yeast and bacteria strains, as well as directing the bacteria & wild yeast lab. Allison became an expert in native isolates and helped to discover Rogue’s ‘Beard Yeast’. She is currently working at a freelance fermentation scientist helping the local San Diego community to better understand fermentation, food science, and urban microflora.
