I will be at GABF as I've never been. Not sure as to what sessions.
The main attraction for me is the Rare Beer Tasting that is put on by Pints for Prostates as a fund raising event for Prostate Cancer Awareness. As a Prostate Cancer survivor I want to go to that. A speedy ticket, but a good cause.
Oooh, had no idea about this... definitely interested, I'll let you know if I'm going to do that too.
But if nothing else I'll see you at GABF (and, I assume, Club Night which I'm told is actually happening... somewhere...)
Edited to say "spendy ticket".
May understanding on the Ca levels.
If the yeast flocks out too early you don't get the final reduction of extract in lagering. You want some of the yeast suspended and slowly working.
The other thing to think of if the levels of SO4 and Cl in lagers. Those are less than in Ales, so you won't get as much CA. Too lazy to run the numbers now.
