sounds like 19-22 now?
I put 6 bottles each of 8 variants in the fridge. should that be enough?


Also, here's a preview of the presentation:

6 - 12 oz bottles should be more than enough. If we have 20...that would be on the order of 2 oz x 20 = 40 oz total...which would be 4 bottles...maybe 5 bottles if folks are a bit generous or if there is a little spillage.

Turner Alley will allow us to use their sample glasses.

Those that plan to attend, please bring a writing utensil; I will have some pencils on hand if you forget; and I will have the judging sheets.

This meeting will be a great opportunity to 1) Give Andrew some feedback on his experiments...AND 2) To learn/practice judging in a non-competitive environment.

We'll see everyone tomorrow night.

I hope to attend following a meeting in Iowa City this evening, but may be a few minutes late. Looking forward to hearing Andrew's presentation!

I'm looking forward to tasting the presentation!

I might just learn a few things about the Belgium style tonight.

Your father in law probably told you I'm coming too. I brought a couple of bottles too. One is a leftover Rye Saison that I served at the fest last year, so it's an experiment in AGING a Belgian strain! See you there at 7.

Thanks to Andrew for the great tech meeting. Well done!

Favs: #5 - Chimay, #4 - Westmalle Notes: Chimay had a nice complexity - caramel & dark fruit, with a touch of banana on the nose. Westmalle also exhibited the caramel & dark fruits, but was also a little spicy.

Not so much: #6 - Lallemand, #8 - Fermentis T-58 Notes: Lallemand smelled like a sweaty, leather jock strap and the carbonation was too low. The T-58 had a bit of a funk to it, especially on the after palate.

Thanks Tony, after everyone gets their comments posted I'll do a quick collation of the likes/dislikes and add it to the presentation, then post it


Also, don't suppose anyone got any pictures, for fartbook/tweeter?

My favorites were the same as Tony. My least favorite was also T-58.
