    Pouring competition beers

    Pouring competition beers

    Matt, No angle, bottle gets poured to a jug, jug to the table, Steward pours equal glasses 50 75 %? Head retention is brewer, yet on most you would not be judged for presentation, this is only a very minimal factor. Its all about the taste!.

    Pouring competition beers

    Of course you would, YOUR exacting standards. The OP threw it out there. Vicbrew 2010 warm glasses as above, you would stop the whole competition, dictate how beer is served and keep everybody volunteering their time? highly unlikely. Nobody can be rude i.e another opinion unwarranted, just we...

    Pouring competition beers

    Spare me please.For what? The bottle has been cracked, nobody knows the kitchen. Defunct the beer? Get real Mants. You would fix everything on the spot would you?

    Pouring competition beers

    its a hobby and you should view as such, no there is not any tilt angles, never met a steward yet who cant pour a beer, the day peeps, competitors start whinging about stewards is when competitions are stuffed. Stewards are great people and some I have known are better palate wise than the...

    Setting up "new" kegs and fridge

    Freek, great advice and simple. I love heat on stainless, at about your bullit #6 I run a kettle or 2 of boiling thru....... not thru the lines they will kink. The heat n pressure is enough to blow your posts IMO. Again good post

    Reverse Osmosis Water Profile

    Why complicate a good water supply. On a hobby scale check ph? What for?, add another complication. I can see your understanding, been there done that. Have always believed science is not unnecessary for the hobbyist.....as we are. If I had to read ph every brew I wouldnt brew. Sure you read...

    Making your own gas?

    So the beer is carbed, just using ferment o2 for pouring pressure? Nevertheless the beer/cider would absorb the o2, as posted above wouldnt it be a bit green towards the end?
