Brewing TV is getting ready for St. Patrick’s Day with stout on the brain! For the occasion, Jake and Mike brew two beers. One is a Dry Irish Stout on par with the modern Guinness Draught, which we serve on nitrogen through a stout faucet. The other beer is a Single Stout Porter, based on a beer Guinness produced back in the 1880s. We put the beers up against each other in a taste test… and find out the secret to Chip’s Chocolate Stout along the way. Get viewing… and get brewing! (Recipe blog and more here.)

Brewing TV #53: Lager Workarounds
Brewing TV is in serious homebrew mode for the next three episodes of the show starting with this one on “Lager Workarounds.”
‘Tis the season for brewing and fermenting lagers. But what if you don’t have the set-up for true lagering process (fermenting fridge, near-freezing basement, etc.)? Brewing TV says “Fake the funk!” In this episode, Dawson and our cohort Don Osborn brew up three beers. They use some yeast strain and temperature workarounds to make them into great non-lagers.

Brewing TV is planning some cool roadtrips for 2012 including Colorado next month, Dogfish Head later this spring, and the National Homebrewers Conference (and likely some pro brewers, too) in Seattle this summer. Keep an eye out for upcoming episodes from those trips! All for brew, brew for all!
