Brewing Better Beer: Practical Applications
Join author Gordon Strong as he discusses how to apply favorite reader tips from Brewing Better Beer. Understand the decisions and reasoning used to create two new all-grain recipes. Learn the approach, not just the recipes, as you see how your target beer preferences affect the decisions you make throughout
Brewing Beer with Fresh Hops
What are fresh hop beers and how can they be brewed? Jamie will discuss the many aspects of this under-researched topic, how to use fresh hops, what to look for, preparing for the brew day and many other topics related to this wonderful annual tradition.
Back in Control: Using Electric Immersion Heating to Save Time and Add Fun to Your Brew Day
What if your brewing system could provide instant, on-demand hot liquor, precise, rapid step mashing and responsive boil control with no more boil-overs? Using diagrams, schematics and photos of an operating electric brewing system, Joe will walk you through (or talk you out of) the process of building a safe.
New Hop Varieties
Russell Schehrer, a former AHA Homebrewer of the Year and the man the Brewers Association Award for Brewing Innovation is named after, used a grand total of five different hop varieties the first year after Wynkoop Brewing opened in 1988. Today, the list of new varieties reads like the NATO More »

It’s cloudy and raining today. This is a real Seattle day. There is no need to go anywhere. I have unlimited beer and pretzels here. In a few minutes I will go to the Keynote speech and then on to another class. The rest of the day is negotiating different parties trying to make an appearance at all of them. I have not seen the Israeli contingent today? Hopefully they are not in jail?
I was just in the exhibition hall. All the brewing manufacturers are there. I got a free T-shirt from one of the guys from Brewing TV. I think they thought I would leave them alone if they paid me off. It didn’t work! I stayed and bored them to death.
I just got back from the keynote speech. It might be still going on? The beer was flowing nicely and it caused everyone to be squirming in their seats. I was bold enough to get up and go to the can! If I had to wait for 1800 people to pee first I would die of kidney failure! The last class of the day will start at 3:30 I hope the keynote speaker is done or we won’t make it? Maybe 1799 people will die from uremic poisoning but not me!
I had four seminars today. As the speakers did their presentation the local brewers bring pitchers of beer around to anyone who needs a refill. Thank the stars that the classes are only a little over an hour long. Man, you got to pee when the session is over! Catheters are looking better than ever. I could just use adult diapers but it all Depends!
I have been taking video of some of the goings on. I will post them as soon as I can. I can’t do it now because I am recording in HD and my laptop would choke if I tried to ingest it! As per usual I have pictures of everybody except me. There are some pictures of me on “Basic Brewing Radio face book’s page. I look the same as when I left so it’s not worth looking?
I am about a half hour away from club night. I had my coffee and now I am having the last of my Black Bear IPA. You have to practice if you expect to drink all night! For supper I had the usual meal. Pretzels, cheese curds and sausage from Mullens. At least I won’t have to worry about having to poop on the flight home. I don’t expect to poop for a month or more!
OK! Here is the deal! It is 1:10 Am pacific time. The party is still going strong! I am not! I just had a beer brewed by some Australian guy from Sydney with an Israeli in America. The world has changed! I walked around all night wearing a O’so brewing T-shirt and people stopped me and said they met Marc B. someplace and they like O’so beer? I am in heaven or what?
I was with 1800 people tonight! They were from every state and many foreign countries. They drank the best beer I (or they) ever tasted. I saw no drunks nor inebriated people. I saw only good people who respected beer. Mostly as they stepped over me! There is always some guy to spoil the night! All seriousness aside. There is no sporting event anywhere in the world that is not spoiled by some young punk unable to hold his liquor. It is a total mystery to me that people that have alcohol as a hobby will respect it so much that they can spend the night drinking and remain respectful and courteous to everyone and even say hi as they stepped over me!
Saturday I have “specialty malts” at 9am
And four other classes that have a title that doesn’t make sense? But as long as it revolves around beer I am OK with it!
------------ Update -----------------
left the specialty malts class! The guy was a monotone speaker that trailed off as he spoke. He showed 12,000 pictures of how they processed grain? I hoped it would get better near the end but when he finally mentioned specialty grains he just explained how they processed them. I skipped out of class! This is the first dud class!
