About this Episode
In this episode, we continue some Back to Basics coverage of listener requested information and some stuff we wanted to go over again in general. Here we started with full boil versus partial boil and considerations for buying the gear you need to go from extract to all grain on a normal homebrewer budget. Afterward, we sampled and discussed a few more beers that our resident British ex-pat brought back from his most recent trip home. Plus, to help us discuss the topics of this episode and do some sampling, we had our friend Kevin Lane in studio with us. If you’ll remember, Kevin is the technical sales manager of the United States and Canada for Fermentis and a former professional brewer who comes from a brewing family. And he likes beer.

In the second half, we are going to dive into stouts. Most examples you find today are big and boozy, some are barrel aged, and many of them are stuffed with big bold flavor additions like chocolate, coffee, even sweeteners. We are going to get back to the roots of a style that used to be a staple for all craft breweries, and see if we can remind everyone of the bold but drinkable versions we cut our teeth on.
