Co-founder Geoff Larson and Plant Manager Curtis Holmes of Alaskan Brewing Company join The Session this week to talk about their multiple award winning Smoked Porter, how they smoke their own malts, and about sustainable brewing practices at the brewery. Learn about their efficient mash press and about how being a craft brewery in a remote location affects their brewing practices. We also hear from AHA Governing Committee nominees Fred Bonjour and Tom Shmidlin on why to vote for them to represent you.

This week on Can You Brew It? the crew attempts to homebrew Captain Lawrence Smoked Porter. Jason "JP" Petros takes on the challenge this time. Tune in and find out if JP can clone this great example of a smoked porter.

Brew Strong is back this week with 3 new episodes! First Jamil and John Palmer will cover keeping and storing your own yeast bank, then how to handle your beer when bottling and kegging and finally, another live question and answer show where you can ask all your brewing questions.

Tune in live and join the chat room to participate or send questions too feedback@thebrewingnetwork.com
