Future proofing your brewing set up and is it necessary to take gravity readings with extract brewing? — Ep. 143

How’s it hanging, Homebrewer? – Thank you for tuning in to our home brewing podcast – and we welcome you to the Homebrew Happy Hour … the podcast where we answer YOUR homebrewing questions and discuss all things related to craft beer! On Today’s Show: James is at the beach but Todd joined me to talk recent brew days, MY upcoming beach trip ( insert smiley face here) as well as take YOUR questions on home brewing beer! Specifically, we discuss some best practices for a listener who is wanting to “future proof” her brewing set up but still be practical and not break the bank. We also take a question from a listener who brews extract recipes only and isn’t sure how important it is for her to be taking gravity readings throughout her brew day (Spoiler alert: you SHOULD be taking readings!). It’s always blast hanging with Todd! We want to hear from you! If you have a question that you’d like us to discuss on a future episode, please click on the “Submit a Question” link at the top of our website or you can now call in your questions via our questions hotline @ 325-305-6107 and leave your message after the beep.
