In this 46-minute audio course, Gardner exposes those pressure points that can make a “lean and mean” West Coast–style IPA taste better, for longer. Among other topics, he covers:

• the importance of pH to stability and drinkability
  
• why you should watch your free amino nitrogen (FAN) content
  
• the effects of Maillard reactions and Strecker degradation
  
• planning a “lean and mean” grist for stability and foam
  
• hot-side and cold-side hop choices
  
• cohumulone, survivability, and why harvest time matters
  
• avoiding over-aeration
  
• the importance of vigorous fermentation
  
• selecting a yeast strain for longevity
  
• carefully testing and dialing in tank finings
  

And much more.
