Marty Nachel has been thinking about homebrewing for a damn sight longer than most of us weilding a mash paddle. In that time, he's seen a number of changes and has documented it in “Homebrewing for Dummies”. We're look back over homebrewing and what's changed in his brand new 3rd Edition.

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.
