I saw the same thing as well, not only am I skeptical I'm bothered they would attempt to do this. It's like having a your favorite band change the front man and hoping you don't notice it's not the same. IMO they should just call it NorthernBrewerTV and leave Brewing TV alone. It will forever...

Well NB just posted on FB that 'Brewing TV' is back. It's like having a your favorite band change the front man and hoping you don't notice it's not the same. IMO they should just call it NorthernBrewerTV and leave Brewing TV alone. It will forever be Mike, Jake, and Chip and no one else...

Nice, thanks for filling the void a lot of us were feeling on Friday's Chip. http://youtu.be/ABlBiVUAVcI

Just perfect to fill the void on a Friday...Thanks Chip, and friends. http://youtu.be/ABlBiVUAVcI

That is a really sexy sight... Looking nice.

I think it's dead now...at least in my eyes. Per Jake's twitter post, Chip left NB and took the camera (per Chips twitter post). I think it's dead and buried. I wonder if they will keep the old videos up on the sites? Yep you can see Chip's video and new project at: http://chopandbrew.com/

Ok it's up now. But I do remember seeing in a post (I cant find it) that BTV would be back but in a different format. Well better late than never! HOP MADNESS ep 71 is posted! Thanks Chip and NB.

Ok I'll retract my statement... episode 71 is up as of 11/16. Sweet, thanks NB and Chip....HOP MADNESS!!!

It helps with the hop utilization so it would increase how the alpha acids become incorporated in the beer. The lighter the gravity the more bitterness you will extract. What I do is put about half of the extract (if boiling less than 5-6 gals then topping up) up front and the rest at the end...

It would be a good bet it is but doesn't mean you have to toss it. Let it sit for longer if you can and you may have a pumpkin sour or a dry pumpkin ale. If that's your thing. What does the top of the beer look like (please describe)? May give us an idea on what the bug might be. How...

I would cut the lactose to 8oz (1lb seems a bit much for a 5gal batch). I would also get my hand on some cocoa nibs, they tend to provide more chocolate flavor than the cocoa powder. Looks like the bean in the bourbon should be ok. Let us know how it turns out.

Something tells me BTV is def taking a hiatus. I've seen too many NorthernbrewerTV posts on youtube instead of brewingtv videos. Oh well I do enjoy their guest lecturer series of videos.

I think it's getting scrapped and they are focusing just NorthernBrewerTV. They posted on youtube a how to make a wine kit videos when Michael, Jake, and Chip already did one on Ep 65. It was a little more detailed but it def wasn't the same...a shame.
