Hosted by homebrew jockeys Ron & John, Homebrew Talk is a local Gainesville radio show about all things homebrewing.
Listen on growradio.org, every 3rd Wednesday of the month, 7-8 pm. Podcasts are posted the next day.
Get your brew on by exploring the world of home brewing your own beer. You don’t have to be a pro to make amazing beer, mead, or cider. While touring the universe of craft beer and listening to some brew tunes, we’ll help demystify the art of zymurgy, get you up to speed on the array of beer styles out there, and explain how yeast proves the universe wants you to enjoy liquid bread. After all, this is beer science damnit!
