In the world of home brewing, and I would contend even professional brewing these days,

there are a few folks whose contributions are ubiquitously viewed as being rather important.

And one of those people is John Palmer, from writing what

many view is the Home Brewer's Bible, otherwise known as How to Brew, among a handful of other

educational books, to co-hosting podcasts and graciously volunteering his time to help people

learn more about brewing and beer. John has been around for a long time, and he's left an

indelible mark on the hobby and this industry.

Just a couple months ago in November of 2025, John spent some time hanging out with patrons

of Brulosophy and answering their questions. And as always, it was an excellent session,

one that we are very excited to share with everybody today. Now, if you're unfamiliar with

Patreon, which if you've listened to this show for any amount of time would be absolutely shocking.

It's a really cool platform that allows us to keep bringing you this podcast every week.

Those people who appreciate what we're doing enough to make a small monthly pledge are known as patrons.

And in return for their support, we give them a little something extra as a way to say thanks.

You can learn all about the various rewards we offer patrons over at patreon.com

slash brewlossophy.

So I'm not going to spend too much time on it except for to say that our two most popular

levels of support are the $3 tier, which gets you an invitation to an occasional

monthly live brew day or one of these Q&As, as well as the $5 tier that

also gets you a discount or some other perk at Yakima ValleyHops.com. Again, if you're at all

interested in learning more about being an integral part of keeping us around, please head over

to patreon.com slash brewlossify today. Another way you can help us out is by using the links
