We’re heading into the Bad Ass Brewery with a bad ass guest host and co-brewer – Nathan Smith! Nathan is an award-winning Bay Area homebrewer, a member of DOZE and Brewing Network homebrew clubs, and most importantly he’s a Minnesota native. During a recent trip home, we invited Nathan to take the helm of the Bad Ass Brewery alongside Bryon Adams and Chris Paynes. The result: a split-batch of saison, lessons on mash efficiency, making brew day changes on the fly, and some schooling on farmhouse ales. [Original postdate: February 27, 2015]
