The practical application of scientific principles to the art of hop agriculture and brewing science
We were going to simply call it “mail bag” but this title is more appropriate. A mixed bag of stuff that we’ve been asked over the last {covers mouth and mumbles} months. Rapid-fire hop chemistry, burnback, mathematical theories, carotenoid degradation and more.
Guest star Julie talks to us about greenhoused plants at Sandy Ridge Farm: viruses, transportation and more. Then she schools us in a game of Beer ‘er No. Hey, it’s on You Tube too!
A gaggle of walkie-talkies, whether your potassium is pregnant and other measurements you’ve never heard of. This is Part 2 of our lists of things you need to run your hopyard. You can see our recommended items on a shared Amazon list at https://tinyurl.com/HopnologyShoppingList.
Gregg didn’t get enough sleepy-time during the first discussion, so James brings more photosynthesis to the party. Plus threats of close-up magic.
Well sure, you know that light is essential for healthy plant growth. Do you know why and all the big words that go along with it? Professor James is in the house!
This is one of our “list” episodes where we go back and forth with a whole bunch of “uh-oh” moments. While you can’t always make lemonade out of lemons, you don’t necessarily have to give up either.
Why go through all of that trouble drying and processing your hops when you can just sell them wet, right? This week we talk about cone maturation and your hopes for wet hop sales. Plus, Augustfest beers (they are *not* Octoberfests if they come out in August).
As so often happens, Part 2 of a longer recording is where we let our hair down (what little of it we have). We continue speaking to Joe though this time it’s less chemistry-heavy and more about beer styles, we play Beer or No and learn about air quotes in podcasting. A video version will […]
We tried something different this week and recorded a Zoom call with our friend and chemist Joe. The video version will be on our YouTube channel. In all honesty, the audio isn’t up to our usual standards but it’s still usable. My (Gregg’s) is pretty muddy, but since my contributions to chemistry are usually just […]
