No, the initial five show run is done, waiting to see if they pick up any more. For some reason, I'm remembering that Sam said the initial deal was for ten episodes. So, I'm thinking we'll see at least five more, but I could be remembering incorrectly.

Well, I was going to ask how you got your name back to Pappers again, but, now that I see your name in the quote, I see the clever thing you've done!

Did they change the night the show is on yet again? I thought it was 10pm on Thursday nights now.

The show has finished its initial 5 episodes. We'll have to wait after the new year to find out about any additional shows or a possible contract extension.

Well that sucks. I think I only saw 3 episodes.

There are a couple of threads on the board that link to streaming sites that have all of the episodes, actually.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

torrents are also awesome and abundant

 

[curlyfat]

I can't believe this thread is still going strong. The show is over. It may or may not continue, but for now it's over. Sheesh. Good show for what it is, I enjoyed it, but I keep forgetting to unsubscribe to this never-ending thread.

Unsubscribed.

word on the street...

show did well, re run of the all five won't be till February.

 

[Pappers_]

Re-runs?!?!? I don't want no stinkin' re-runs. More Sam!

 

[rico567]

The series is complete for this season. Another season???

 

[weirdboy]

I had some trouble with the DVR and only managed to catch the last episode...

I'm hoping they decide to air them some more, and also make/air new episodes.

 

[logan3825]

It is cable television. They will re-air the episodes 3 times a week for the next few years.

someone close to dfh. it came up at a bar while i was making comments about prices of ******* brew on ebay are crazy and still not enough to make me sell any of mine. he then gave me almost half a bottle of 2008 120

If you didn't catch the series on TV then you can get all five episodes on iTunes for $9.99. Discover kept moving the schedule around so I didn't get to see all the episodes.

 

[Revvy]

It hasn't been cancelled....The show was only scheduled for 6 episodes, 5 have aired and the sixth will air....

Haven't you noticed thread where we've actually been discussing it for the last several hours?

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/discovery-cancels-brewmasters-216041/

The person who blogged that may have even read OUR thread or the Norcal stumbled upon that blog...but that's not a lot of info to go on......

 

[knotquiteawake]

I guess they decided to replace it with "Demon Hunters" or something like that:

Obviously I didn't see the other post or I wouldn't have written this. I'm sorry that I assumed it would be discussed in the main thread about the show. I also don't want to get into semantics but I would consider that no plan for a second season is sort of like being cancelled. Either way, I think we were all hoping for more episodes in the future and it sounds like that isn't happening. Is that better?

 

[mlyday]

Yeah somewhere in this thread, I posted an email I got from them. The initial run was only 5 or 6 episodes. Im sure if it did well they will make more, but these things take time. It may be with DFH maybe not.

 

[Suthrncomfrt1884]

I hope it doesn't just stick with DFH. I'd really like to see some of the crazyness that happens at Three Floyds. The brewery is pretty nuts. I'd love to see what goes on behind the scenes.

 

[jbsg02]

It would be awesome if they made a show traveling all around the world to breweries. I'm not sure how much TV material you can get from just one brewery.

Yeah, I'd like to see a different brewery each season

 

[Homercidal]

Ditto. Please go to different places and stop with the fake drama! We just want to see beer being made and the people who make it!

And start working on Taste-O-Vision™!!

I don't think the drama is that bad. Yes...it may be played up a little bit, but I'm sure most of the things that happen are happening in every brewery across the country. In a company that big, there's always going to be some sort of issue.

Besides, the drama makes it easier for non-brewing folks to enjoy.

 

[SwampassJ]

The only drama I liked/thought was funny was the glue spill.

I hope they do some more breweries. I think Sam is awesome but most of their beers I don't like, some I would kill for. I wouldn't mind a quick run through on how their computers control the fermenter, the flow, how they grow up the yeast yada yada.

 

[juslod]

I was talking to one of the employees at the Dogfish Head brewery and they told me there was a sixth episode finished but didn't know when it was going to air. They also said that Sam was interested in doing next season nothing but episodes of collaboration beers with other breweries! Keep an eye out for that last episode to be aired!

Dont worry about it Lodovico, I would have thought to post here as well since there was a lot of crying about keeping all the Brewmasters talk in one thread.

Does anyone know much about the differences between Hickory aging and Oak aging? I did a bit of bourbon oak aging on my first ever batch. It came out strong and delicious. I get the oak from my Dad who has a wood working business, and he gave me some Hickory chips today. Not sure what the best styles are with this type of wood. Let me know what you guys think.
