Battle House Hops
Friday Feb 25, 2022
Friday Feb 25, 2022
So as home brewers we know what we like for ingredients for our beer and, I think one of the most critical (and hardest to choose from) is hops.
Hops can vary in flavour, aroma and bitterness, but I find what influence these is where its grown.
This week we talk to local hop grower Ian Murchison of Battle House Hops about his farm and what he grows.
Check out the links from there Instagram for a tour of the battle house

Hey Guys,
So most people know I love a good dark beer specifically stouts.
There is something about this style of beer that I just love from the flavour, aroma, colour and how you can make them totally your own with a bit of experimenting.
Also I'm working on how to add a new tap to you kegerator so stick around and join me for a beer.

Lessons Learned on Brew Day
Sunday Oct 10, 2021
Sunday Oct 10, 2021
So this past week I made a baltic porter and did it give me a run for my money.
Everything started out great and as the day progressed the hiccups started and turned into speed bumps to craters to which, thankfully, I was able to dig myself out.
A stuck sparge, pump clogging on the Brewzilla and yeast not activating for 6 days.
This was one hell of a ride.

Saturday Sep 25, 2021
So this week I got to talk with Rod Maccoux and his partner Dawn and got to learn what is like to be brewing with no sight what so ever.
In a past episode I talk with the Blind brew Guy Fred Coleman and heard what its like for him, but hearing how Rod and Dawn work together to make some amazing beer is truly remarkable.
If you have and info for Rod and adaptive gear for the visually impaired for brewing please let me know so I can forward it on to him.
Cheers
