The Brewing Network Presents | Dr. Homebrew

There's been a lot of talk about those East Coast IPA's with the smooth mouthfeel, but we don't see them all that often on the West Coast. Well, homebrewer Seth decided to brew some up and fix that for us. We take on a VIPA, and then a huge Russian Imperial Stout from Phillip. Learn more about your ad choices.

A new month means a new episode of Dr. Homebrew! Today, we chat with John, who sent over a lovely Belgian Tripel that was even corked-and-caged! Next up was Matt with an IPA that he used some pretty unique yeasts on. Once again, Geoff sat in for Doc and had some great insight on these beers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on Dr. Homebrew, we chat with two homebrewers who brewed two very different beers, which we love. Mel sent in several bottles of his Northern English Brown ale that he had been having problems with for quite some time. Then we talked with Ryan who tried a rapid lagering method on his Helles, but was concerned about the emerging honey-like notes in the beer. Plus, Geoff (from Dr. Homebrew episode one) sat in for the missing Doc, and did a great job! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A few shows back we had a double IPA that blew Doc's mind. Which is hard to do, considering how hard Doc parties. At any rate, we had that brewer, John, come back on to talk about his Kolsch. Will Doc love it as much as the double IPA? Then we chat with Jacob who sent us a Saison fermented with Brett and then aged in Cabernet Sav oak chips. Find out how Jacob did, and what our recommendations we dished out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's the juxtaposition show, somehow. Doc and JP start out giving the worst history of St. Patrick's Day ever. So much incorrect information that we should be flogged for it. We talk with Norm who sent in a German Pilsner first, and he was looking for some general feedback on his lager methods and what he could do to really crisp this thing up. Then we talked with Kris who may have made the most "out there" beer we have had on the show. We won't give anything away, you'll just have to listen to it, but let's just say this was ... complex. It's Dr. Homebrew! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s back to basics today on Dr. Homebrew, as we run through a classic Pale Ale , and then fly head-first into everyone’s favorite category … IIPA! Though we didn’t know it, we were in for a treat with the IPA – even Doc loved it, and he hates IPA as much as JP does. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've been seeing lots of Brett beers come through as of late, and this show is no different. Bryan sent us a Saison with Brett and Peaches, which was a really interesting combination, and we talked for awhile with him about how he achieved this beer. Our second beer was a Belgian Dubbel from Christian, who couldn't join us for the show. Doc was in love with this beer, and has plans to start dating Christian because of it.

Ever make a Belgian Wheat beer with Brett C. and Jalapenos? Robert has, and he sent it to us, even though Doc “doesn’t dig it”. Plus, we do another commercial Calibration with the highly popular Pilsner Urquell! Sure that’s a beer that is historically oxidized and well traveled, but you can find it anywhere. Plus it’s in brown bottles now! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
