Come talk beer and beer science with some of homebrewing’s favorite mad scientists. They’ll explore the science of beer making and the art of fermenting the wildest and craziest things. It’s like Mr. Wizard, Bill Nye the Science Guy and Click and Clack of Car Talk all met down at the local pub for a couple of pints! It’s all about the homebrew with the authors of Simple Homebrewing and Experimental Homebrewing – Denny Conn and Drew Beechum

Learn to think like a scientist. In this collection we demonstrate a series of hands-on experiments that you can carry out in your own kitchen. We’ll explore some key aspects of life on Earth such as why water is so important to all living organisms, how matter behaves at different temperatures and what are the best conditions for life to flourish. The experiments start off simply, with baking a potato to destruction, but by the end you will be isolating and extracting the DNA of a kiwi fruit! Along the way you’ll learn some key skills that will develop your scientific thinking – like what to look for when designing an experiment, why you should keep a scientific journal and how to report your results. By the end of the collection you will be able to think about how to investigate the world around you and find out how it works. These materials form part of the Open University free courses Basic Science: Understanding Experiments and Basic Science: Understanding Numbers available from OpenLearn. http://www.open.edu/openlearn/free-courses

In Spring of 2019, Byron Bates, a Texas native, wine importer, and early supporter of natural wine in NYC, partnered with Jeff Stuffings, founder of Austin’s Jester King Farmhouse Brewery – known for making expressive ales fermented with their local culture of wild yeast and bacteria – to launch WILD WORLD on the sprawling grounds of Jester King’s farm. The first-ever festival centered not only on natural wine, but on wild fermented beers, ciders, meads, and food, was born.WILD WORLD showcases all that wild fermentation has to offer within the world of beverages and food. It’s one hell of a good time, and unlike other natural wine and beer festivals, it’s also a fact-finding mission that seeks to debunk myths of “natural” fermentation where necessary and break down the barriers that have long divided beverage communities.Wild World events include salon-style tastings of organically-farmed wines, farmhouse beers, and other beverages and foods fermented with wild yeast and bacteria, as well as panel and classroom-style discussions in which producers, importers, writers, and retailers share knowledge within and across categories toward a greater understanding of an ever more delightfully-complex continuum of fermentory enjoyment.Our podcast brings you recordings of the best of these discussions. Please enjoy and visit us at www.wildworldfestival.com.
