Author: James Spencer March 30, 2006 Duration: 31:47
We get help from Gary Glass of the American Homebrewers Association to answer a listener's question about putting too much of a good thing into our brews.

Hosted by James Spencer, Basic Brewing Radio is a weekly conversation for anyone curious about what goes into their glass. This isn't about distant experts or unattainable perfection; it's a practical guide for your kitchen or garage. Each episode digs into the craft of making beer and other beverages at home, transforming what might seem like a complex chemical process into a straightforward and deeply rewarding hobby. You'll hear honest discussions about techniques, ingredients, and the occasional happy accident that leads to a fantastic batch. The focus is always on removing intimidation, offering clear explanations, and building confidence so you can enjoy the creative process. Tuning into this podcast feels like getting advice from a knowledgeable friend who remembers what it was like to be a beginner. Whether you're considering your first brew or looking to refine your recipes, the conversations here provide a steady stream of ideas and encouragement. It's about the joy of crafting something with your own hands and sharing the results.
