You've been hearing this talk about Imperial Yeast for a while now, and that's because we absolutely love the stuff.

With 200 billion cells in each pitch-right pouch, we rarely even need to make starters these days.

Unfortunately, not everybody has the access to Imperial Yeast, those of us out here on the West Coast do because they're

based out of Portland, Oregon.

But things are about to change. Imperial yeast is excited to announce the opening of their

East Coast location, which is huge for those who want the freshest

east possible with the best pitch rates but brew on the other side of the country, they're

going to start by offering their foremost popular strains, A38 juice, A.07 flagship, L13 Global, and G.O. 3D are with a goal of providing their full lineup

of yeast by mid-2012, so start your planning now at Imperial Yeast.com. dot com. As simple as brewing a batch of beer feels to those of us who have been doing it for a while,

there are actually quite a few steps involved in the process, particularly for certain brewing methods.

Traditionally, once the mash rest is complete, the sweetwort is collected

while water is sprinkled over the grains, thus rinsing residual sugar off those grains and

into the boil kettle.

You're listening to the Brew-Losophy podcast.

I'm your host Marshall Shot,

and in this episode I'm joined by contributor Kaye Job to talk not just about the Spard Step,

but the impact temperature of the water used to Sparge With can have on beer.

Yeah, so I remember this was a Ray found did this experiment a few years ago and I remember when this came out and I remember thinking wow, you know, it's something I never even considered, which is what we

talking about today sparging, but also the temperature of your sparge, a sparge water.

So doing it cool versus your standard you know 170 degree

Sparge water and this one whenever it came out I remember being really fascinated by this because I was thinking oh that's something I've never even thought of doing before,

but maybe it can be helpful.
