For the purposes of this podcast, it's James and Gregg tossing around their observations after 10+ years in the hops industry. Over that time we've developed some conclusions - and a whole lot of opinions - about what works and what doesn't in the beer community triangle of consumers, growers and brewers. Join us and our periodic guest contributors as we run the gamut of topics from "mom said I could plant a half acre out back" and "Mr. Brewer sir, what do you mean you won't buy this garbage bag of hops that I just picked from my backyard" to the guy who wanted to dry his hops in an old casket. Yep, that really happened.

This was a fun “what if” episode. If you could have anything in your hopyard, what would it be? You’ll be surprised at the pain points that come up early.
There are so many variables in your yard, and they all work in tandem with each other. That’s why the answer is so often “it depends”. What does it depend *on* though?
Two new episodes in a row? Hmm. That’s curious…..
The latest issue gave us a treasure trove of topics, including gluten free brewing, non-beer products from breweries, and Gregg’s favorite topic of “pumpkin” beer.
For many many many years we’ve talked about low temperature drying in order to retain the hop characteristics that we’re growing these things for in the first place. We did what we do, which is to Science It for an answer. Guess what happened?
