Despite what Todd may have told you, #HomebrewCon was NOT cancelled (I won a $5 bet, you guys!) but, rather, it was restructured to being an online only event. Our seminar, "IN DEPTH: Draft Beer Systems & Building a Keezer" went smooth and we had an absolute blast doing it. You can watch it at https://www.homebrewhappyhour.com/in-depth-draft-beer-systems-and-building-a-keezer/ or by visiting our YouTube channel at YouTube.com/HomebrewHappyHour ! In this episode, we go over the fun of #HomebrewCon and we also take your questions! Specifically, we cover what to do if you accidentally put your gas or liquid disconnect on the wrong keg post (it happens!), natural carbonating your beer even if you keg, and a listener asks us about our favorite non-beer beverages to make when we aren't brewing beer.

Welcome to the world of brewing your own beer at home, friend! Part of our mission statement is that we exist to help preserve the craft of homebrewing, and also to help promote the craft of homebrewing. We are passionate about making beer and wanted to produce a video showing just how easy a #brewday can be. In this video, we're using an extract recipe kit that also includes specialty grains that you'll be steeping during the brewing process. This is also called a "mini-mash" or a "partial-mash" recipe kit. They're extremely popular among extract brewers because the specialty grains allow you to add more depth, body, and flavor to your beer. The equipment kit that Todd is using in this video can be found at the link below: https://www.kegconnection.com/complete-homebrew-kit-glass-carboy/ The recipe kit that Todd is brewing in this video can be found at the link below: https://www.kegconnection.com/my-first-brew-pale-ale-extract-recipe-kit/ For more content like this, check out our website and subscribe to our podcast! https://www.homebrewhappyhour.com/ If you like the content we produce and would like to support us, please consider joining our Patreon community! We have lots of perks for every tier and our top tiers receive recipe kits with FREE premium liquid Imperial Yeast -- https://www.patreon.com/HomebrewHappyHour

Yes, you read that correctly. James and I are both incredibly jealous of the amazing time that Todd is, undoubtedly, having. In case you're wondering - hogs are a TERROR here in Texas and are vastly overpopulated on Todd's ranch where they've been literally destroying the land which is affecting all the other wildlife that rely on Todd's property. So... don't feel bad for the little piggies ;) ! ANYWAY - that means it's just James and I today but thank God he joined me because I could not have done today's show without him. We discuss whether you should follow the temperature ranges listed in your recipe kit versus what's on your yeast pack (ideally -- they'd both be the same ranges), we talk about how important pH levels are in regards to the mashing process, and a listener writes in with a question on best practices for cleaning his Grainfather unit.
