Episode 500! It feels surreal to achieve this latest milestone, but in this episode, recorded live at our Brewer’s Retreat at Bale Breaker in Yakima, Washington, we talk hazy IPA with three luminaries in the category: Henry Nguyen of Monkish, Sam Zerme\u00f1o of Brujos, and Kelsey McNair of North Park. Along the way, we discuss everything you’d expect us to discuss: dry hopping at warm temperatures, maintaining haze richness and diversity, understanding oil content and what that means for hazy IPA, achieving the perfect color, haze-positive hops, and so much more. At the end, Vinnie and Natalie share an unexpected surprise, but you’ll have to listen in for that! <\/p>\n

G&D Chillers<\/strong><\/a> Berkeley Yeast<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n At the World Beer Cup this year: Gold for West Coast IPA; Gold for Session IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for New Zealand IPA; Bronze, Silver, and Gold for Classic IPA. All these beers were fermented with one yeast: FRESH\u2122 Chico, Berkeley\u2019s low-diacetyl ale yeast.There\u2019s something you need to know: Diacetyl is not just a pass or a fail. Yes, at high levels, it\u2019s tragically bad. But even at low levels, it masks the good flavors. So if you want hop notes to pop, you need diacetyl to be ultra-low.\u00a0These brewers trust Berkeley Yeast for an ultra-clean fermentation because on the finals table, every little detail matters. And now FRESH\u2122 Chico is available in dried bricks for as low as $88 at berkeleyyeast.com. <\/p>\n PakTech<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This episode is sponsored by PakTech\u2014delivering craft-beer multipacking you can trust.
