Episode 8 delves into brewing on an electric system: how to build one, use one, and any points that should be considered if you’re thinking of making the transition to an all electric or hybrid system. Craig Gilbreath and Adam Blackard, both regular TBI employees, join in with their know-how and experience that ranges from beginning to advanced. Then we move onto coverage of the organization Homebrew for Heroes. A group founded to give something back to our heroes in the armed forces and who work as first responders. HB4h has grown over the last few years and with your help, they can only do more. In fact, later this year they’ll host their first homebrew competition at Shannon Brewing Co in Keller, TX with Operation Bravo. 

Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we sit down with brewer Austin Heisch of Rahr and Son’s Brewing Co. to discuss brewing and fermenting lager beer styles and the history of the style. Rahr and Son’s Brewing is the grandaddy of the local Fort Worth craft brewery scene and they led the way over the last decade by brewing a variety of multiple-award winning beers, including both lagers and ales.

Episode 6 recaps our experience at the 2015 Bluebonnet Brew Off that occurred March 20th and 21st. It includes a chat with Justin Crossley from The Brewing Network, who was there as the keynote speaker, then we’ll move onto a discussion we had with Barrett Tillman of Black Man Brewing, who has an innovative new series of dry sour yeast packets. After that, we’ll talk a little bit about the results of the awards ceremony. It was a great year for both TBI and the Cap and Hare Homebrew Club!

In this episode, we talk with Cody Martin--founder and head brewer of Martin House Brewing Company--about brewing outside the boundaries of traditional styles, experimentation and the thought behind their micro-seasonals, and the 1st and 2nd Annual Riverside Shootout competitions.

This episode of Come and Brew It Radio features a discussion about the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) organization and BCJP style based judging with our own local BJCP Grand Master Judge and crazy Cajun, James Lallande.

And at the end of the episode, we sample a classic pilsner while we discuss the BJCP scoresheet and the key elements of judging.
