Todd helped me take your questions this week and, thankfully, most of them were softballs which helped me curate a pretty fun-filled year-end show. We talked about our favorite batches of beer that we brewed this year, our favorite equipment (and least favorite equipment) we used in 2020, we discussed whether we'd invest money in the pre-boil or post-boil (fermentation or cold side) of brewing if we could go back and do it all over again, and, of course, we touch on our 2021 brew year resolutions.

We also go over some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and what's happening in our Patreon community. On this episode, we discuss one of our favorite styles of beer - New England IPAs! Ok, if you're new to the show you might not catch my sarcasm there... but, even though it isn't our thing, New England IPAs are still a very popular style and a listener was curious on how to best achieve the color profile when he's brewing one. Also, we take a question about step mashing (how to do it, when to do it, what it does), a question on the appropriate time to measure your grains (before milling, after milling, etc), and we wrap up with a question about using an all-in-one electric system (specifically, the Anvil Foundry) as a vessel for primary fermentation. It's a ton of content packed into this one episode and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! We want to hear from you!

On this episode, we discuss how whether or not it is important to keep the equipment you use for sours separate for other equipment and in what scenarios it might make more of a difference. We also talk about how to pinpoint CO2 (gas) leaks that might be happening in your kegerator, keezer, or draft beer system. Then, we talk about water profiles and whether or not we build them each time we brew. Finally, we wrap up this week's show with a question about how to figure out what type of homebrew keg you have if it isn't stamped on the side of the keg. Todd is the absolute expert on this topic so I'm confident that we were able to help the listener with his question! We want to hear from you!

Sorry for the day delay - I go over it a little at the top of the show but we had a crazy hectic week yet we're still happy to be back in your ears or on your screen! This week, Todd and James join me to take your homebrewing questions and discuss other mostly on-topic things. Specifically, we talk about the different methods of chilling (cooling down) your wort and how some pieces of gear may work better for you depending on your situation. We also discuss a listener who is getting bad foam whenever he switches from his corny keg of homebrew over to a commercial keg of beer. He makes a point to tell us that flow control faucets aren't really in his budget yet so we do our best to point him in the right direction! Then, we take a question about what happens to beer that sits in the liquid lines for too long. Can it go stale? Could it cause off-flavors to arise or contaminate the beer? Finally, we wrap up with a question asking if the BTF Iodophor stains on the listener's gear is going to affect future batches of beer. You all know how much we love BTF Iodophor and that we use it all the time so we have a lot of experience with this! We want to hear from you!

We discussed our upcoming 200th episode, some big news about next week's episode too, and James helped me field your questions on brewing. Specifically, we discussed what a diacetyl rest is and when you need to make sure and do one, we also discussed how to get clear/bright beers and if filtering is worth it, then we slightly covered flow control disconnects (we hadn't really heard of them before this episode) and, finally, we end with a discussion on carbonation. It's funny because Todd wasn't here and we both agreed that he is the carbonation expert so maybe we'll ask his opinion on a future episode? VIDEO ON FORCE CARBING YOUR BEER: https://youtu.be/-CeCV9vGdnA FILTER INFO FROM JAMES: The filter housing uses 3/4" pipe fittings so you will need bushings and 1/2" to 3/8 fittings. Those can be bought on amazon and any hardware store. Brass works just fine but stainless steel is optimal.

We are receiving so many incredible questions from you all so it makes my job easier when writing out the show notes for each weekly episode. Today, we discuss using yeast nutrients and when it's appropriate. We also talk about how a brewer can achieve clearer/brighter IPAs (especially when you're brewing something like a traditional West Coast IPA and not an intentionally hazy NEIPA). Then we talk about hitting yours gravity numbers on brew day and whether or not you should stress out about it. Finally, end with a question about following the guidelines that come with your brewing system (specifically, electric all-in-ones) or should you follow the recipe guidelines more?

Eh? Eh? Not a bad promise. We talked about a lot today, including the process of changing out pin lock posts for ball lock posts and what to look out for when converting a keg's posts. We also take a question that asked about when sparging an all-grain batch is necessary and in what situations could you get away with doing a "no sparge" brew day. Then, we discussed using over-sized conical fermenters when you're brewing much smaller batches (i.e - if you brew 5 gallon batches but own a 15 gallon fermenter). Finally, we wrap it up with a question about doing the entire fermentation process in a homebrew keg. It's more common than you might think and we discuss the pros and cons of doing it that way!
