John is the author of the top selling book <a href=\"http:\/\/Beer Brewing Water with John Palmer - BeerSmith Podcast #237\">How to Brew<\/a> as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/35oq1kD\">Water<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3zyx6x8\">Brewing Classic Styles<\/a> (full disclosure: Amazon affiliate links used for books). John joins me this week to talk about water in beer. <\/li> <li>John joins me for episode #300, and we briefly discuss his 19 appearances on the podcast, starting way back on episode #3 in 2010!<\/li> <li>John introduces the &#8220;state of the art&#8221; in homebrewing, and we talk briefly about the recent episode with John Blichmann and how both equipment and knowledge in homebrewing has evolved these last 30+ years.<\/li> <li>One trend we&#8217;re seeing is the move to smaller batches and all-in-one BIAB style systems. John and I discuss why this is happening and what the trend means for homebrewers.<\/li> <li>Another trend John discusses is the evolution of adjuncts in beer and also how the use of adjuncts has changed over time in recipe formulation.<\/li> <li>We discuss the overuse of caramel\/crystal malts and how this too has changed over time.<\/li> <li>John talks about Hazy IPAs and shares some tips on making Hazy IPAs.<\/li> <li>We talk about the trend to &#8220;IPA everything&#8221; and how most beer styles are not IPAs and require a different approach to hopping.<\/li> <li>John introduces &#8220;pseudo lagers&#8221; and how lagers are seeing a resurgence both in home and craft brewing.<\/li> <li>We discuss John&#8217;s five brewing priorities and he goes into each in some detail: 1) Sanitation, 2) Sufficient yeast pitching, 3) Fermentation temperature control, 4) Strong long boil and 5) Good receipt proportions.<\/li> <li>John shares that he has a new smaller book coming out in Spanish and we discuss when and where that will be found.<\/li> <li>John shares his closing thoughts.<\/li>\n<\/ul> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sponsors\">Sponsors<\/h3> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thank you to our sponsor <a href=\"http:\/\/beerandbrewing.com\">Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine<\/a> for sponsoring this episode.
