Is there going to be a specific theme??
No specific theme this time. I'd like to develop that idea further as membership of the SD club grows, but for the moment we should probably keep it open to all beer styles.
Cool! Ill put myself down so. Have a discover america pale ale from the homebrew company finishing up in the primary. I reduced the amount of water and dry hopped it today with some cascade so I've no idea what to call it... ::)
Great stuff. You have 5 weeks to come up with a name. ;) :)

Off to Brussels weekend before this (important to keep the palate calibrated) but should be ready for a few more by Monday night...
Good stuff Brewtus! Keep that palate of yours calibrated at all costs!

8. John C - A dodgy ale
I'll be out at around half nine or ten. My latest beer has a very strong off flavour. I thing it's this one from the tasting last year http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.com/wiki/doku.php?id=off_flavours#ethyl_acetate but I'll bring it along for diagnosis and second opinions.
No problems John, we'll do our best to diagnose it for you.
going to pop out my self, have one that could do with a bit of a diagnosis too. nothing bad more of a grain/hop balance issue mostly on the hop side id say
Great stuff. See you all around 7:30 lads. Pint of Voager to start off with, I think... 8)
Might pop out also. Ribs are not up to working tonight.
Sorry lads I won't be making it out either!
But if ye have some spare off flavour beers, I'd like to add them to my BJCP course! (Or any other beers!)
for the lads who missed out i present "The cascadientm experiment"
Bubbles showing a complete disregard for the sanity of the people at the table proceded to go all mad scientist

It was definatly a unique experience that did not turn out like anyone expected :P but we did lean a valuable lesson, dont add hops to a beer just before you drink it unless your crazy about cabbage
I Luv the experiment, however I do think you need heat to get some of the nicey's out of hops ;D

Yeah. Don't drink Heineken...
I think the cabbage flavour was the best thing about it, to be honest. If you took the cabbage away, there'd be nothing else there... :)

We did consider heating it up. Someone also suggested steeping some crystal malt in it. ;)
To be honest, it didn't help that in addition to tasting cabbagey it was also flat as a witch's proverbial. Not what you want in a lager..

I'll bottle a few up and get them to you. How many do you want, I'm planning on dumping the keg in the next day or two?
Just a word of warning, they won't provide much of a challenge to the students. The off flavour is very strong.

What off flavour is it? I'll take 2-3 litre's if you haven't dumped it yet!
seemed like a mild infection.
I found it strongly acetic, but everyone's tastebuds are different.
I'll bottle some up anyway and get it to you.
Here's the write-up folks:
