The practical application of scientific principles to the art of hop agriculture and brewing science
Is this a rant, sciency science or a marketing discussion? I’ve listened to it three times and I’m still not sure. Polyphenols and all kinds of -humulones run rampant as we discuss addition timing and where hop bittering comes from.
Okay, we’ve talked about the HOW behind hop breeding. Now let’s examine WHY you would do this.
In another installment of “they asked it on the Discord” we discuss the sciency-science around hop breeding. Haploid, diploid, triploid. We get all ploidy on you this week.
The History of Fertilizer. Why it works, how it works, potassium, potash and coprolite. Sounds like a bunch of crap if you ask me.
It’s Part 2 of the Scientific Method, but this time we’re taking the methodology to your business. There’s nothing magical about this: framing the right question, gathering data and removing bias will point you in the right direction in the field and on the spreadsheet.
You changed something in your hopyard between Year 3 and Year 4. Yield went up. Did your single change make a difference? This week we dissect the Scientific Method and how to properly set up your experiments (insert maniacal laugh here).
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!
What are Extracts, how are they created and what are you compromising by using them? Also, the social movement to the new Third Space (hint: you’re likely there right now) and for a change, Gregg goes on a bit of a rant.
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 […]
