One of the experiences I trust every home brewer shares is the feeling of awe that comes from

witnessing the conversion of Wirt into beer through the fermentation process.

Even after 15 years, I still get giddy when I see the first signs of airlock activity, a nice fluffy croyson developing

on top of my beer.

The worst is when this takes too long.

You all know the anxiety that comes from checking on a batch a day after pitching and seeing no action. This is why we love Imperial yeast who pack 200 billion cells of the purest yeast

into each pitch right pouch, which assures quick starts, healthy fermentation,

and predictably great results.

I strongly urge all of our listeners to check out everything

Imperial Yeast has to offer and let them know that you appreciate their

support of the Brulosophy podcast while you're at it. All right, on to the show. In this day and in the show.

In this day and age, Hop seemed to get most of the focus when it comes to brewing ingredients, which is great.

They're an amazing plant that allow us to impart myriad aromas and flavors to beer.

But even so, I tend to view hops as being sort of like paint that gets applied to a canvas, a canvas

that's made of malt, of which there are many varieties.

You're listening to the Brew-Losophy Podcast.

I'm your host, Marshall Shot, and joining me to discuss one of the popularly used bass maults in

brewing Marisadir is fellow contributor Malcolm Fraser. I like the the analogy

of hops being almost like a spice as a lot of brewers say to the canvas or the paint to the

canvas and I use the same thing as like the base of our stock of a soup.

Yeah.

The spice being the hops.
