Should you tell the bar or brewery when you taste an off-flavor plus a question on using over-sized kettles when extract brewing — HHH Ep. 110

Welcome back to another episode of our homebrew podcast!

Thanksgiving is over and we’re stuffed. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and loved ones and we hope you also were able to score some sweet homebrewing supplies during the madness that was Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend! We’d be remiss if we also didn’t mention how thankful we are for you as a listener and supporter of our show. We still don’t fully understand what you like about this show but we’ll keep producing it if you’ll keep listening!

On today’s episode we take our first voicemail call from a listener who experienced off-flavors while recently visiting an out-of-town bar and he was wondering what OUR approach would be when informing the bar or brewery about an off-flavor. We also discuss a question from a listener who bought a 15 gallon kettle even though they’re still doing 5 gallon extract batches and he’s curious if he should use a smaller kettle or what options he has so he doesn’t have to shelve his awesome new 15 gallon Spike kettle for the time being.

As always, If you have a question that you’d like us to discuss on a future episode, please click on the “Submit a Question” link at the top of our website or you can now call in your questions via our questions hotline @ 325-305-6107 and leave your message after the beep.
