Stop me if this has been done before, but would it be possible to have a thermometer test at a coming WCB meeting? Everyone brings along their thermo, test them in different temp waters and see if they are giving similar readings and if the differences are consistent across the 0-100 range...?

Thats a great idea Deebee. Can we extend this to pH meters as well? I would love to see how mine compares to others especially at around mash pH. I can bring along some pH7 buffer and some citric acid to make up a solution to say 5.4 if others are interested.

One thing at a time, I reckon. We'll give the thermometers a run first, it might not be this month because of the December club comp, I'll discuss it with the rest of the comittee.

sounds like a good idea, even if to check that buffering solutions are all up too scratch and that we are calibrating correctly.

pH meters at 20 paces!!

I could be dreaming, but I'm trying to get hold of a bottle of the Sam Adams Triple Bock from the Dec meeting.
The International Beer Shop doesn't have it and are not likely to get a single bottle in for me, and definatelly not by xmas day!

Anyone got any idea's on where I could try next?

Cheers, Simo

Considering the beer was produced only in 1994, 1995 and 1997, you might find it hard to obtain.

Ratebeer.com has some info here: http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/samuel-adams-triple-bock/164/

We were extremely lucky to be able to try such an old and rare beer. Cheers Brian!

 

[Simon W]

Damn poo bugger damn!
Saw it was still on their website so thought it may have been an annual seasonal. Just had another look and, well, I guess I shoulda looked under the 'History' link.

Lucky indeed! s'pose I'm just gonna have to try brew something like it, could be ready by 2015!

 

[Team_Beer]

well it's a little late now, but if anyone after the silly season is up for it i would be grateful. thanks for the offer Grab!!

Cheers!

 

[grabman]
