Brewing with brett and is it better to add water volume pre or post boil? — Ep. 167

Hey there, our homebrewing friend! Welcome back to another episode of our Homebrew Happy Hour podcast… the podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer! In case you’re new here, we also discuss a lot of off topic stuff so don’t say that I didn’t warn you! On Today’s Show: Todd and James are just now getting back into the country from a very “productive business trip”. I put that in quotes because I don’t believe it was really a business trip at all judging by all of the gloating pics and videos the guys sent me during their stay. With them gone, that means fan favorite Ladik Joe Ermis helps me take your questions so that I don’t look like an idiot trying to Google answers all by myself. Specifically, we discuss the legality of shipping beer across the country (disclaimer: we are not lawyers and do not offer valid legal advice. if you, hypothetically speaking, were to ship us beer we would appreciate it but never encourage it if it, by chance, happens to violate state or federal law…wink wink nod nod). We also talk about brewing with brett for a sour IPA and a listener asks us about when is it appropriate to add water volume to your wort – pre boil or post boil? Again – THANK GOD for Ladik Joe Ermis because I really needed his expertise to get through this show. You all are going to love it! We want to hear from you!
