Episode 162 – Survivables – The Latest

Author: Denny Conn, Drew Beechum October 1, 2022 Duration: 1:24:14
The notion of "Survivable Hop Compounds" has changed the way we plan and use hops in our favorite IPAs. Being new science, there are changes occurring between harvest years and so Denny sits down with Patrick Jensen and Spencer Tielkemeir of Yakima Chief Hops to cover where we (hop) stand!

Ever wondered what happens when you treat your kitchen like a lab and your curiosity as the most important ingredient? That's the spirit you'll find in Experimental Brewing, a conversation with longtime brewers and authors Denny Conn and Drew Beechum. This isn't just about following recipes; it's about questioning them. Each episode feels like pulling up a stool next to two friends who are deeply passionate about both the granular details and the big, joyful ideas behind making beer. You'll hear them dissect the chemistry of a perfect mash just as eagerly as they brainstorm how to actually brew that wild concept you've been sketching on a napkin. The podcast lives in that fascinating space where methodical science meets creative art, all aimed at understanding what makes a beer truly great. Whether you're looking to refine a classic style or figure out if your latest "what if" experiment has any merit, Denny and Drew offer a blend of practical advice, hard-won experience, and infectious enthusiasm. They champion the homebrewer's journey from concept to glass, making the process accessible and endlessly interesting. Tune in for a thoughtful, often humorous, and always genuine exploration of flavor, technique, and the simple pleasure of a well-crafted beer.
