Episode 21: Practical Yeast Tips and Recipe Development
We’re talking yeast and recipe development and moving beyond the comfort zone of each.
It’s the yeast that’s doing the hard work of making our beer. So, the show starts off with a conversation with Kara Taylor the Head of Operations at White Labs.
Then we switch gears to recipe development and scaling. We talk with Dave Green Assistant Editor and Recipe Editor of BYO magazine about creating recipes on the nano pro scale.
