Beer is mostly water and yet a small percentage of homebrewers seriously consider how important of a role water plays in their brew and certainly, not all water is alike.
This general meeting we welcome fellow Beer Baron Jason Otto, a water enthusiast, who also happens to work for the Milwaukee Water Works. Please welcome him while he talks about the water filtration process that our water undergoes and also begins to compare how our local water supplies stack up against each other.
Whether you just use tap water, use a carbon filter, or build you water from scratch using Reverse Osmosis (RO) water, this meeting will help you learn how to interpret your water report and how to put that to work for you. We will also explore a few relatively easy ways to experiment with the most common water additions and what effect they will have on your beer.
As a quick reminder, if you plan to bring a homebrew, you must bring ~2 gallons of your water to sample side by side with your beer.
Last we will also be continuing our pre-meeting beer evaluation. Starting at 7pm, if you have a beer you want to get real-time feedback, bring in a bottle or two and have several BJCP judges provide constructive criticism to help make you a better brewer.
This general meeting will be held at Cliffords Supper Club in Hales Corners, WI on Wednesday, June 27th. The meeting will start at 7:30pm, however you are welcome to stop in earlier and enjoy food that Cliffords has to offer. Please remember to bring your own tasting glass (or two).
