On Today's Show:

I'm, once again, graced by Todd and James's knowledge as they help me tackle your submitted homebrewing questions. We start off by taking a question from an avid extract brewer who is curious is he can do anything to a favorite recipe of his to help make the finished beer "a little bit dryer". Then, we talk about the importance of sterilizing additions (dry hopping) and how we go about doing that. That was followed by a  question about upgrading to PVC-free beer lines and if the more premium liquid lines would allow for leniency regarding how often one needs to clean said lines (spoiler: Todd says clean them every two weeks!). Finally, we wrap up the show with a conversation on creamer functionality in CMB faucets and why it's a good thing. This was right up James's alley! 

We want to hear from you!
