OK, Drew and I just checked and ran some diagnostics. everything came back OK and we both see it in iTunes and the Apple podcast app. Dunno what to tell ya…
It seemed like the flavor contribution of Brewtan B is in counteracting the effects of iron in the water. If you are using RO water that shouldn’t be an issue, no? Maybe I missed something.
I streamed it last night - enjoyed it, as usual. I also do Drew’s approach of sanitizer with CO2 purging and that seems to have reduced oxidation noticeably. I heard about it at NHC this summer and now include it in my regular routine along with kegging direct from fermenter (those fermenters with valves) to keg (in the out tube via QCD with prv cracked to allow flow, to further eliminate O2 contact. Maybe I’m imagining, but it seems to retain freshness better…
The interview was underwhelming from a technical standpoint.
Obviously I was turned off by the condescending attitude to Low O2.
I find it interesting that the experiment will consist of a collection of subjective opinions on ones own beer. Even more interesting is the impetus for the experiment being Denny’s own subjective opinion about his own beer.
I don’t think the irony will be lost on anyone. Do you know another group of people who were derided and laughed out of town because their opinions on a certain brewing method were said to be lacking objectivity?
Wow, we were condescending about LODO? Sorry, I really wanted to avoid giving that impression.
Underwhelming technically on what way? What would yo have liked to have known that wasn’t there? Hopefully we can correct it next time.
You realize that these brewers will be presenting their beer blind to groups of people? That it won’t be just their own opinions? I would think you’d applaud the fact that I don’t trust my subjective opinion and I want verification one way or the other.
I listened yesterday and I honestly didn’t hear anything condescending.
And let me just say, I’m telling you – I know condescending, believe me. (spoken in the voice of the presidential candidate who shall not be named)
I did find the information to be… very introductory. But appropriately so, since this is all so new to us silly Americans. It will be good to hear the final results of the blind triangles later. It would be kind of cool too if all the IGORs could send some beers to Joe and/or Denny to get their blind perceptions if possible. Or, send them to me! – I promise I’m not biased one way or the other anymore, I’m telling you, believe me.
Your bias/skepticism clearly shows through from 34:25-35:00, and it may be a touch condescending, but who cares - it’s your and Drew’s podcast and you’ll drive it how you want.
Nearly every non-status-quo brewing method I can think of (bucket fly-sparging in the 90s, batch sparging, biab, low o2 brewing, etc), but once it becomes status-quo then we’re all good
