On Today's Show:
We take a question from a listener who is ready to start allgrain brewing and wants to know which false bottom to get OR if they should just make their own. We recommended this one (it's usually low in stock and gets sold as soon as we stock them!): https://homebrewsupply.com/stainless-steel-domed-false-bottom-12/
Then, we discuss a question submitted that asked why fruity notes might appear in a kolsch but not until weeks after kegging it. Having some subtle fruity notes in your kolsch is super normal but James had some ideas on how to minimize it if that's not a desired flavor you're going for. The kolsch kit mentioned in this question is: https://www.kegconnection.com/brians-kolsch-kolsch-cup-2021-grand-champion-recipe/
Then, we get a funny question from a guy who loves to brew but his girlfriend can't stand the smell. While we can't relate to that, we did our best to offer some good (and some truly awful) advice for our friend.
We wrapped up this week's show with a question about keeping beer lines as cool as possible, specifically in a tower installation scenario. Todd had some solid advice and also mentioned utilizing this: https://www.kegconnection.com/beer-tower-cooler-kit/
