TBN "Brew Strong" Podcasts - Highly Recommended

I've been listening to these podcasts for a couple of days now whilst I've been working. I have learnt a hell of a lot that will improve my brewing, and they dispell many of the home brew myths flying around.

It's presented by 2 of the top names in American home brewing (John Palmer and Jamil Zainasheff) and they get guests on like Chris White from whitelabs and the guy from 5 star cleaning products.There's info for beginners and advanced brewers, and I really think a lot of people on this forum would glean some useful info; especially given the recent discussions on sanitization and yeast starters.

I've even started downloading them to my iPod so I can listen to them when I'm walking to the shops! :ugeek:


I'd definitely recommend the podcasts on:

Cleaning
Sanitizing
Bottling and Kegging (really good piece about the "secondary fermentation myth")
Sparging
Yeast Starters
The boil
Melanoidins

There's a podcast about brewing kit beers which I havent listened to yet, but I reckon it's worth a listen if you brew from kits.

Another recommendation from me - I've downloaded a few of these onto my ipod and often listen whilst flying around.

I do about 2 hours driving each way to work and I have listened to them all and also the jamil show ( another one they do where he clones beers and defines each beer style) they are entertaining and very informative. I have learnt as much from them as I have from the amazing hbf. It's just a shame its all American measurements. Also last episode of the jamil show he got the recipe for Greenwich meantime porter (one of my local favorites)

By the sounds of it Meantime IPA will be next.

I've phoned into The Sunday Show a couple of times a few years back for DOTW (Drunk of the Week) at about 3-4aqm in the morning :shock:

Didn't win but they loved my accent, especially Beevo.

Jamil sent me a Mr Malty T-Shirt and Justin (the host) sent a Brewing Network Hop Grenade t-shirt.

Great Laugh and highly recommend the shows :
