Berliner and Beyond

June 18, 2015 by Derek Springer 4 Comments

I know I have been under a rock for the past month or so; I have been keeping my head down and focusing on my presentation Berliner and Beyond: Sour Mashing and its Applications which I presented this past week at the National Homebrewers Conference. NHC was an awesome time and I really feel like I nailed my presentation, but without further ado I wanted to be sure I get my slides up as a reference.

I will see if I can get a copy of the audio recording and post it up here or a dedicated page. In the mean time, please feel free to ask me any questions you might have about sour mashing!

Update: Grabbed the audio and threw the slides and audio up on a dedicated page.

Year of the Sour Mash

January 19, 2015 by Derek Springer 3 Comments

One of these things is not like the other...Now that the 2015 NHC Seminar List has been published I feel better about announcing this in a more official capacity: I have been selected to speak at the 2015 National Homebrewers Conference to give a talk titled Berliner and Beyond: Sour Mashing and its Applications. To commemorate this auspicious moment (and to focus myself for the conference) I am hereby dedicating 2015 as Year of the Sour Mash. It is my hope to not only inspire and inform my fellow homebrewers about the techniques and applications of sour mashing, but challenge myself to elevate the state of the art through experimentation and education.

Why sour mashing? Sour mashing is a fun, fast, and easy way to begin experimenting with sour beers, a topic more and more folks are getting interested in. I want to equip homebrewers of all skill levels to be able to successfully perform a sour mash and work it into a variety of their beers. A review of the conference seminars of past few years show that there have been no presentations dedicated to sour mashing and I want to be the one to change that.
