This week on The Session our favorite Mad Scientist Colin Kaminski from Downtown Joe's in Napa, California hit the studio to let us in on a few different projects he has been working on in the brewery. We started by discussing the addition of Alpha and Beta Amylase to various parts of the mash and fermentation to dry out beers, and we sampled a Triple IPA that he got to finish under 0.999 FG by using this technique! Then we talked about water chemistry and how Colin has changed his thinking on water adjustments and what this means for you. As always, Colin is a mad scientist and talks about how he can tell which of Napa's 3 water sources are being used just by tasting the water during his morning shower!
