Other beer sites of mine

• A lambic FAQ largely based on Jim Liddil's work.
• A list of web resources for potential beer judges. (This is for a class I put together years ago. The links are very out of date.)
• A list of importers, their phone numbers, and what beers they carry. If you are looking for a special beer, try to find it on the list, call that importer and ask what retailers in your area carry it.

Files

• The Worts of Wisdom yeast experiment data.
• Chuck Bernard (bernardch@mindspring.com) has prepared a two-sided form of the detailed beer flavor descriptors. This might usefully be laminated and brought to judgings to supplement the shrinking descriptor list on the scoresheets.
• My grandfather's beermaking instructions from the 1930's. Includes a recipe.
• Some hints on recipe formulation, especially the mathematical part, and a form that helps to do this as well as serves as a brewlog.
• A file about calculating yield from mashed grains and about this aspect of recipe formulation called extractform.txt
• An essay about stout, written as an example answer to various Beer Judge Certification Test questions, Old text version or newer Word 5.1 for Mac version. (I made the .rtf to suggest that Netscape dump it to Word but it is really in word format.)
• Some advice and ideas for doing experimental series of beers to learn the effects of various ingredients.
• A supplement to the Lambic FAQ that I wrote for my homebrewing club. It describes why making lambics is like making A Silk Purse from a Sow's Ear. (Thanks to Todd Gierman for this analogy.)
• A really boring file about grain anatomy and biochemistry as it relates to malting and mashing that I wrote for a Beer Judge Certification Program test study group.
