Marzen Lager
Here's a lager Ariel and I (Eric) brought to the April BCB meeting. Its basically an amber lager, traditionally brewed in March.

Re: DIY chiller chest
Very cool stuff. I'd always wondered what was going on underneath the bonnet of your tap and keg system, so to speak.

Re: Medicinal taste
If this is an extract brew, the high FG may be due to malt extract of limited fermentability. My early extract brews rarely attenuated below 1.022, despite SGs of around 1.055. After going all-grain, the FGs came down to more reasonable figures. I also noticed that my extract brews tended to have a ...

Re: Looking ahead
Darren, Ariel, and I can bring in the results of our water treatment experiment to the April meeting. Hopefully that ought to compliment Phil's talk. The difference between what we'll bring and what was tasted at the last meeting is that now it's been kegged and carbonated, and has had a bit of time...

Re: March meeting

Re: Feb meeting
David's funeral is this afternoon, then going to the Seven Stars in the evening. I'm not planning on making a full day affair of it, but does anyone have plans to go to one or the other before heading to the Miner's Arms?

Re: Water treatment experiment
Yeah, my test strips were good enough to distinguish between pH 5.2 and say, 5.6, but anything closer than that looks a bit ambiguous. They're only the paper types from maltmiller. We did check the meter against tap water, and compared that to the water report, with the meter reading within 0.2 pH o...
