When I had the time (if i missed it live like I usually do) I would listen to the style show right before I would brew the recipe and get some extra tips on fermentation and yeast and/or inside info about the beer to be brewed. It really helps you to dial in on the style and recipe as you brew it! Have fun!
Fucking aye! I'm like "does EVERYBODY know about this?!?!?!" I'm honestly not big on cloning so CYBI doesn't get me REALLY going (may change when a brew pops up that I have and I'm sure i'll listen to more of it) but I've just made my first brew TO a style with the help of a buddy in homebrew club. An RIS that's fucking awesome. Now I'm hooked and am stoked to listen to Jamil talk about it.. then I was thinking oh maybe I'll just do a bunch of imperials..how about an imperial ipa..well shit I'll get that one too.. Ooh I had a bock I really liked the full body.. friggin aye.. on and on and on. That's a great idea btw listen to it before brewing. That'd make a good "I thought I had everything ready but I forgot to clean xyz and of course I need to sanitize, get my mash water to temp and maybe buy some beer if I have none on tap oh I'll listen to this for an hour" type thing. Over the several days I've loaded up the blackberry with brewstrong and just listening to and from work and on lunch breaks, fucking aye its great. NOW I need to order my merch I keep slacking on it... I've got how to brew and classic styles on the way!
