Are distillers really just “dirty” brewers? How do you stabilize ingredients and flavors in canned RTDs? How can water chemistry at the municipal level potentially wreak havoc via arrested fermentations? Throughout his career, Reade Huddleston has seen it all, and now—as director of distillation and spirits at Monster Brewing—he’s putting into daily use the best-practices wisdom gleaned from years of brewing and distilling as well as focused study.
In this episode, Molly and Reade explore a range of subjects, including:
- similarities and differences in brewing and distilling practices
- testing and optimizing RTDs for long-term stability
- can-liner interactions in RTDs
- testing water quality with taste and odor acceptance tests
- measuring water-supply shifts over the course of a day
- common chemicals in supplied water and how to neutralize them
And more.
