Summary

In the days before CO2 tanks and regulators, brewers wishing to carbonate their beer had to rely on more natural methods, one of which involved bunging the fermentor toward the end of fermentation to force the gas into solution. In this episode, contributor Jake Huolihan joins Marshall to talk about the method of spunding, going over how it's done as well as reviewing the results of an xBmt on the subject. The Brülosophy Podcast is brought to you by Imperial Yeast who provide brewers with the most viable and fresh yeast on the market.

stuff. Go grab some A43 Loki and see what all the fuss is about for
