Denny's Bio
Denny Conn has been homebrewing for more than 14 years in the foothills of the Coast Range Mountains in Oregon. He is an audio engineer by trade, but that’s just to finance the brewing. Denny did about six extract batches before switching to all-grain and discovering the “Cheap’n’Easy” batch sparge brewing technique. He’s a BJCP National Judge and his Rye IPA recipe has been brewed both by Rogue Ales in the U.S. and Olfabrikken in Denmark. He also has written articles for brewing magazines, is a frequent contributor to many internet beer discussion forums and was a speaker at the 2008 and 2010 AHA conferences. He’s the Tech Tsar of the Cascade Brewers Society, based in Eugene, Ore.

Thanks for taking this on Denny!

Cheers!
Gary

 Is that the guy with the cooler and braid thing? A pragmatic sort of fellow I understand.

[skyler]

Isn't the AHA forum always an "ask Denny Conn" forum?

This guy?

I saw his picture in Zymurgy a couple of issues ago.  He must be buying hair gel by the barrel to keep this look going.  Where's his tie?

Dear Denny:

I want to make a passion fruit wheat honey ale with Ringwood yeast.  What temperature should I ferment the beer to maximize the fruity esters?

Your friend,

Dear Chumster,

As you realize, you're brewing one of my favorite styles with my all time favorite yeast.  I recommend you ferment at 130F for 6 months.  Th serve, pour the beer on your lawn, then open a PBR.

Good luck, you'll need it....

Denny

It dies back a little more each year, but it's still there.
