What better way to beat the insane record-heat of Summer 2012, than to watch some fools ice-fishing and homebrewing on 13 inches of ice? Brewing TV has just what you’re looking for. BTV in the middle of Lake Waconia, brewing an improvised beer with random ingredients and lake water… yup, lake water. Grab a pints, toss some ice cubes down your pants and check it out!
And homebrewers take note. There’s a “Most Bizarre Brew Session” contest involved. Check out the episode for more details.

Brewing TV #64 – Tallgrass Brewing Company
Brewing TV takes Manhattan… Kansas! BTV visits Tallgrass Brewing Company, where they find themselves happily surrounded by good people, great beer and a lot of homebrew equipment. While Dawson brews a freestyle small-batch collaboration beer with head brewer Andrew Hood, Jake talks with Tallgrass founder Jeff Gill about the brewery’s evolution, off-beat brands and new Northern Brewer Pro Series Beer Kits. (Drinking game included. Critical!)
Don’t forget – there’s also a release party tonight (Friday, June 15th) at the Nomad
OK, this one is for the serious homebrewers (and pro brewers, too!). “How to Brew” author and overall badass John Palmer dropping some mad science at Northern Brewer Minneapolis on residual alkalinity and its role in your brewing water. Nerd alert!
