In this episode, we have special guests and friends of TBI, Ryan Deyo and Mike Goldfuss of The Collective Brewing Project in the Come and Brew It studio. They started their brewpub off St. Louis street on the Near Southside part of Fort Worth just over a year ago and have been going strong since then. From their beginning they’ve been able to try out new brews and add to their core lineup, including a chance to give a special emphasis to brewing sours and--more recently--barrel aging. They were the first in Fort Worth to package beers-to-go with a crowler machine and they are well known for their Mustache Rye’d Porter, Tropic Thunder green tea saison, Pale Galaxy session IPA, and especially, their Petite Golden Sour. Plus, they recently began packaging special releases with their American Sour Red. Here, we discuss where The Collective began, where it’s going, their experience in the FTW craft scene, and their plans for tackling more extensive sour aging in the future. - See more at: http://www.txbrewing.com/storeblog/
In this first (of hopefully many) Holidaze Specials, we wanted to give you something special sauce special, so we dive into discussion about the time of year when brewers get all the best new toys AND get to drink the best of homebrew and commercial beers with good friends and family. Plus, we enjoy some tasty beverages Brandon brought in from Tallgrass Brewing out of Kansas and freshly bottled Bourbon Barrel Aged Winter Warmer from Rahr and Sons courtesy of Rahr Brewer Austin Heisch. He came to sit in with his wife Cristall and we had a great time talking brewing gear and Christmas wish lists. - See more at: http://www.txbrewing.com/storeblog/
In this episode, we’ll discuss reasons to transfer to a secondary fermenter and the many ways you can modify your base beer using that secondary. This may actually be the first of several episodes related to this subject because we could easily dive in deeper into many of the ideas we cover. Use of a secondary goes well beyond simple clarification. And this episode goes further into the many reasons you’d use a secondary (or tertiary) fermenter to modify your fermented base beer before bottling or kegging. We also discuss a few of the things you need to think about when using another vessel than the primary fermenter. - See more at: http://www.txbrewing.com/storeblog/
