Base Malt Beer Tasting Tech Meeting

Post by DrPaulsen »

When : 11-August-2014 (Monday), 7:30 pm

Where : Lion Bridge Brewing Co

What : Base Malt Tech Meeting.

If you've ever wondered what the differences are between various base malts, this is a great opportunity to taste them side-by-side. The full backstory is elsewhere on the Tech Meeting forums, but the short version is that I brewed up 9 batches of beer, each containing only a single base malt (the recipe was an APA). I've prepared some briefing material and some tasting/scoring sheets for us to use.

Depending how the event goes I'm planning to write up the results of the experiment for Zymurgy (hence the score sheets), which I think would be good press for our club.

See you all in 10 days,
Lee

Does anyone planning to attend have a laptop and long video cable they could bring? I'd like to use the projector at Lion Bridge for the presentation material.

I want to be there but would be late. I have kids in music lessons in Marion until 8:15. Once I drop them at home I could make it out.
