It’s Commercial Calibration time again! Today, we tackle the famous Pliny the Elder and see how it stacks up against the current meta of the BJCP guidelines. Then to get really dorky, we compare the bottled version of Pliny with the draft version – and then all of that with a homebrew clone version! DanRead more

Two in-studio guests tonight, both with very different homebrews. Jonathan hung out and brought us something called an International Pale Lager, but with no hops in it! Then Dan joins us with a Cucumber Bohemian Pilsner that he canned in his home canning system. How cool is that?Read more

Aaron is our only non-host guest on the show today, as we get into his American Pale Ale and how to improve it. Then our very own Keith whips out two beers he made with the same wort – one was a Helles and the other a Pilsner. Chatting about his method for saving timeRead more

We love talking to homebrewers on this show, especially when they try to push their own brewing boundaries. Jesse sent us an Imperial Stout, which is a style that he would never normally have done before, and it turned out pretty good for a first shot at it. Then we talk with Jim who sentRead more

We switch things up a bit on today’s episode of Dr. Homebrew – instead of JP entering a beer for judging, we turn the tables on Brian and Keith and have JP judge both of their beers! Keith brought in an American Barleywine, and Brian brought in his sour project. Any longtime listeners will recallRead more

Back from HomebrewCon and reunited with Keith, Dr. Homebrew is ready to hit the judging table running!  We speak with Jon Birdsong about his Coffee Coco Porter, and then we interview Nick Corona, who was the 2016 Homebrewer of the Year at HomebrewCon. Since this is a judging show, and since JP has issues withRead more

Our 100th show comes to you live from the expo floor at HomebrewCon 2017! Today, we talk with Todd Fulton from our fine sponsor GrogTag who has a Brown Ale for us, and then Brian’s brother Jimi Cooper is back with an American Strong Ale. Since we are broadcasting sans Keith, JP sits in andRead more

Live from HomebrewCon 2017, Brian and JP are joined by Mead judge Al Joyce, who was dressed as some sort of Game of Thrones mead drinker. Trust us, it was oddly cool. Al is a GrandMaster Level 6 Beer Judge, which blew our minds a bit, but he is also an official Mead Judge! WhichRead more

We start the show talking about JP’s NHC score sheets and how they are less-than-stellar.  Then we get into the two beers – a mixed sour fermentation from Ricky, which was his first attempt at this style and for a n00b, he did a good job!  Phillip is our next guest, and he sent inRead more

Ricky and Jon join us today to talk about … homebrew!  Specifically their homebrew and how they can make some improvements in their recipe and/or practice to really get them where they want.  This show is cool, because we have a mixed fermentation sour beer on, which we do get from time to time, butRead more
