Congrats to Erik Beer, his Irish Red will be our entry to the March/April club only competition. The next round is extract beers, any BJCP style as long as extract makes up 50% or more of the fermentables.
With an open category, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t have at least a dozen entries to choose from. Entries are due 4/28/07, the weekend before our April meeting, so have your beer for judging in March.

Just saw this nifty Google Mashup of beer related sites. It’s a bit cluttered with all the BevMo locations, but still a cool tool:

The March meeting will be at B3, starting at 6:30.

Mini-Presentation: Brewing for Nationals — what, when and how
Tech Talk: Promash — advanced topics
Style Talk: German Wheat Beers (BJCP Category 15) and their American Cousins

I happened across this article today that discusses beer foam and head retention. While it points to some older and well known solutions, it also describes some different remedies like volume of yeast pitch and fermentation temperatures. I found it a great read and though I’d share. http://www.byo.com/departments/1410.html
