Between mastering propagation and QC analysis at Wyeast, Kevin Hart shares his own version of a Fruited IPA using 1217-PC West Coast IPA from the latest Spring ’22 Private Collection release.

“I was first introduced to home brewing by my parents. That was part of the reason why I decided to change my major at Oregon State University to Food Science and Technology, specializing in fermentation sciences. I never looked back, and today I use my degree for yeast propagation at Wyeast as well as home brewing.” -Kevin Hart, Wyeast QC/Production Lab Technician
