Chop & Brew - Episode 21: Meet the Brewer - Mino Choi

[@andyweigel2246]

I really like his brewing philosophy. Great video!

[@danielbartholomaeus3676]

Great vid and nice to meet Mino. Would love future episodes to cover Mino's nutrient schedules and decoction processes... and any other of his brewing processes as the guy obviously has it dialled.

[@OneBigAsMistakAmurca]

Great episode! Love that Mino gets his water from a natural spring so it doesn't have flouride in the beer!

[@donosborn]

Those beverages look ridiculously good. Interesting approach that he has. That's what's great about homebrewing. If someone wants to only make 5 things and perfect them, go for it. If someone else wants to experiment continuously, go for it. He's right - you have to enjoy your process, and I would also add, your results. If you got that going for you you're doing it right.

You got my "like" Chip. This is my favorite C&B episode yet. I've watched it probably a few too many times. Thanks man.

[@ChopAndBrew]

Glad to hear it!

[@LeftTurn72]

Great video (as usual), Chip! I think it would be awesome to see Mino's decoction process, plus that hefe sounds awesome!

[@miwhitetailhunt]

Awesome episode Chip! Looking forward to the next episode with Mino Choi and learning a few more of his tricks. Definitely found him and his methods to be interesting. Until next time, Cheers!

[@Anthony-Carlon]

This man was born to brew. Great episode. Cheers

[@YankeeinSC1]

This is the most hilarious episode ever! I laughed from start to end. Mine should have his own network comedy show!

[@brianhuntley6299]

Great episode Chip! Kinda timely, I'm about ready to start trying some ciders and meads myself so I appreciate all the insight.. Cheers!!

[@DanABA]

Thanks Mino for sharing some tips!

[@shannonwilliams7743]

Hi Chip, This was an amazing vid. When will we see another interview with Mino?

[@ChopAndBrew]

We might be able to do a chop episode with Mino as he is a huge foodie and great cook. He actually doesn't brew much anymore. But he's still a mad scientist about it!

[@mtbrehm]

That was really entertaining and informative. As a homebrewer who's only been at it for a year (about 20 batches at 3gal each, on the stovetop), it's encouraging to know that it's possible to dial-in that level of consistency. I know what I'm making is really good (I don't need anyone else to tell me that), and I'm not all over the map (almost exclusively IPAs with consistent grain bills and variable hops) ... but I'm still not so positive what I'm going to get each time I brew. I'll get there, soon enough. Anyway, keep up the great work!

[@jasonsethmeyers]

Thanks Chip for having Mino Choi on. Mino, I currently live in MKE. My current household water is well, which I've had tested resulting in crazy high bicarbonates. I've grown tired of working with this water and was therefore, wondering where you go for spring water? Do you make adjustments? If so does your water supplier provide you a water report? Thanks in advance for the help and good evening! Jason

[@StevenProchaska]

Great episode. It's always good to see a brainstorm on video. Keep combing that beard brother!

[@MrSparty1995]

Very nice video, enjoyed watching the whole thing. I have made beer, wine, and cider, never mead yet. I'll have to give his recipe a whirl one of these days. Thanks again and cheers.

[@ryankorr]

Happy 21st Chop & Brew episode Chip. The show is now old enough to drink. lol

[@jbsg01]

I like this guy! I hope you bring him back soon. Potential brew day with Mino?

[@ChopAndBrew]

Mino will be back solo-style and alongside brother Juno. Maybe in the Twin Cities, maybe on their home turf of Milwaukee. Either way - it shall be done.

[@bearfootdaddy1]

I want to go brew now. Right on , Thanks for the video.

[@wcdunn]

I'm definitely going to try that mead recipe. I have been getting gold results with my process thus far but it takes about a year for it to happen.

[@JimEllisEducation]

Eiswein (or icewine) back story and info was about as interesting as it gets. Great episode. I've got a fermenter to shake, to shuffle mit truffle, yo! Peace.

[@ChopAndBrew]

I'm amped to see people getting a lot of great info from this (and every) episode! We'll certainly have more Mino in the future!

[@HeartPumper]

Choi Bros ftw!!

[@YankeeWraith]

I would love to see a brew day with this guy!

[@ChopAndBrew]

It shall be done.

[@SoCalUtilitoid]

Love the end credits bonus footage, almost had a spit take like Mino!

[@mjodr]

Awesome episode. Gonna try the Super Berry recipe.

[@henrywitherow1262]

Chris Paynes, Mino, and Dawson need to collaborate on an episode. From recipie formulation to tasting! Make it happen Mr. Walton

[@stanlindert6332]

I love Nottingham. Smiles. I know this guy that grows nectarines. There's this guy that has honey. There's this guy with the eclectic apple orchard . My head is spinnin.

[@Gangneung17]

One of my fav episodes so far! Tell Mino to come back to the motherland, Korean alcohol is awful!

[@Gangneung17]

Chip, does Mino work in brewing?

[@ChopAndBrew]

He is in the process of helping to build up a brewery and/or distillery.

[@WCStuckey]

BLAST! I got my Cider from a Orchard too and it turned out dreadful..

[@ChopAndBrew]

One person is not down with the Charlie P. dissing the icewine!

[@armside8072]

Chip i think i saw you at a whiskey shivers concert and we started a blues grass mosh pit in austin texas. It was crazy

[@ChopAndBrew]

Arm Side LULZ. Most likely not. But then again - I suppose a lot of dudes look like me in Austin, TX these days: balding, crunk beard, with a beer attached to their hand. Used to live there - I know the type. :)

[@ChopAndBrew]

Make that 2.

[@richsworldbeertour7877]

Please invite me to join you when you brew with Mino. I'd love to watch him in action. A studio audience?! Cheers!

Those propane cannons are useless. It doesn't scare away birds, and annoys the humans
