2016 Tech Meeting #3: Belgian Yeasts - Apr. 7 - Turner Alley

[daryl]

On Thursday, April 7th, Andrew Maixner will present a Tech Meeting on his Belgian Yeasts Experiment at Turner Alley Brewing Company.

About the presentation:
Purpose: identify and compare characteristics of the commercially available belgian / trappist yeast strains (not the "clean" strains like Antwerp Ale).

Method: Ferment the same batch of wort across multiple yeast strains, at the same temperatures and similar pitch rates. I used the belgian dark ale recipe which I've been making for the last year+ (which is a low gravity version of Chimay Blue Label) for the wort.

Yeast strains used: Chimay, Duval, Westmalle, Ardenens, T58 (dry), Fermentis Abbaye (dry), Lallamand Abbaye (dry), and US-05 dry (Chico strain) as a "clean" control.

Participants will be able to taste and may be asked to judge Andrew's results.

While this event is not open to the public, members may bring a guest with them.

I also think the tap room is open to the public too. They have regular tap room hours on Thursdays from 4-10pm. So basically, you can go early for a some beers if you like too.

I believe that I will have 3 guests coming.

So there are 3 people coming, aside from whoever I bring?

Not sure if I am going to make it. My wife and I are headed out of town early the next day.

I have already replied I am coming, but I will probably bring a guest who is looking for beer stuff to write about and put in hoopla.
