Here’s one for the homebrewers trapped somewhere between extract and all-grain homebrewing. Brewing TV goes deep undercover on some BIAB action! After reading so much about how easy and fun it can be, Jake Keeler decides to give the “Brew In A Bag” method a try. To put it bluntly – he’s hooked! Join us for a brew session and discussion about the pros and cons to see if brewing-in-a-bag is right for your homebrewery.

Brewing TV #53: Lager Workarounds
Brewing TV is in serious homebrew mode for the next three episodes of the show starting with this one on “Lager Workarounds.”
‘Tis the season for brewing and fermenting lagers. But what if you don’t have the set-up for true lagering process (fermenting fridge, near-freezing basement, etc.)? Brewing TV says “Fake the funk!” In this episode, Dawson and our cohort Don Osborn brew up three beers. They use some yeast strain and temperature workarounds to make them into great non-lagers.
