Just a great podcast, summary below.

Wort stability / integrity testing: basically take your wort, jar it at room temps, and see how long it takes to show spontaneous fermentation. If it lasts 2-3 days, it's fairly stable. Make it 4 days and you know you are doing well. Under 2 days and you have too much contamination. Also a great way to troubleshoot suspected infections from equipment.

Dry hopped Warrior IPA with 2oz of Falconer's Flight. The hops dropped right to the bottom of the carboy. I've never seen that happen before, usually they float but i'm wondering if the high alcohol content had something to do with it. I plan to dry hop for 2 weeks then transfer half the beer to a keg and oak the other half for a week.

Been planning a brew day for a couple of weeks now. Come Saturday I'll be the proud owner of 10 gallons of blessed beer; 5 gallons of Porter and 5 gallons of Irish Red.

My fellows and I also desided to make a batch of hobo cider, brewstone style. If you're familiar with the story of the soupstone then yoiu get the idea. If you aren't, where the bloody hell have you been for the last 30 years? Go google it. So I'll also be 1/5th owner of a 5 gallon batch of Hobo Cider (only ingredients...
