...feels a Professor coming on
b"Another almost regular episode of your favourite beer podcast created by guys called Pete and Matt.\\nToday we again catch up with Professor Charlie Bamforth, a truly engaging guest who is passionate about beer but very neutral and considered about some of the topics that inflame passions in the craft beer world. Coupled with his easy personality and simple explanations, it always makes for a thought provoking and informative discussion.\\n\\nIn this episode we get slightly technical, but Charlie keeps it easy to follow as we talk about about:\\n\\n\\nmalt\\n\\nyeast\\n\\norigins of lager\\n\\ngetting rid of VDKs in fermentation (you'll need to listen to understand this one, but it's very clear when you do)\\n\\nhow long before time becomes the fifth ingredient\\n\\nWhether using enzymes and other brewing aids is wrong and whether not using them makes better beer\\n\\nBeer in cans\\n\\n\\nAnd other things, too many to mention.\\n\\nDon\\u2019t forget, Charlie has two excellent books that are highly recommended additions to any good beer library.\\n\\nFinally, staking a date claim. As he advises in the show, Charlie is in Melbourne in March for the Institute of Brewing and Distilling conference and has agreed to let us drag him to a pub for a 'Live from a Local' Radio Brews News episode. If you\\u2019ve enjoyed listening to Charlie, we\\u2019d love to see you along for the recording of a live episode. We\\u2019ll keep you posted re venues and details.\\n\\nDon\\u2019t forget, you can help us by leaving us a review on iTunes, or letting us know what you think about the show by email.\\n\\nFinally, in a very weak nod to the surprising number of Brazilian listeners we seem to have picked up, this week\\u2019s rendition of Beer Barrel Polka is from south of the border (though not quite far enough south, but we are trying) and is played by Maso Rivera from the album Y Su Conjunto de Cuerdas (Cantan Jose Luis Rodriguez y Tonin Miranda).\\xa0\\n\\nFor links and show notes head on over to Australian Brews News."
