Ryan Tewell - Brew Just Seriously Enough | JLS #6

Описание: What happens when a clinical pharmacist applies compounding room discipline to craft beer? Ryan Tewell's homebrewing journey mirrors his pharmacy career, constantly learning, simplifying processes, and knowing when good enough is perfect. Starting with Blue Moon in college and introduced to brewing by a friend developing a brewery app, Ryan now runs a streamlined operation with dual Anvil Foundries, keg fermenters, and a four-tap kegerator he built himself. But his philosophy centers on balance: brew seriously enough to make great beer, but not so seriously that you lose the joy. Jeremy and Ryan swap stories about brew day disasters (Ryan's rusted washer catastrophe that turned his Thirsty Orange cream ale into liquid metal), gear purchases that seemed brilliant but proved unnecessary (goodbye, elaborate sparge system), and the constant tension between perfectionism and practicality. They discuss failed experiments with metabisulfite, why all Ryan's beers finish drier than expected, the importance of obsessive cleaning (even if it means hunching over a bathtub), and how Ryan's beer preferences evolved from Belgians through browns and stouts to his current love of West Coast IPAs and lagers. This conversation offers practical wisdom wrapped in honest storytelling—perfect for brewers seeking that elusive balance between casual enjoyment and committed craft.
