    Too Much Lagering?

    I think it really depends on the style and method of storage. Are you keeping the beer in a vessel that is air tight, devoid of O2, and in a dark and cool place? All these factors will maintaining the beer better than say, leaving it in a glass carboy in a warm room in direct sunlight. Also, you...

    Bohemian Dark Lager Water Profile?

    Just want to point out that steeping the dark grains separately is not "cheating".

    Australian Sparkling Ale

    I'm fairly confident that it was not an oxidation issue, as mentioned above, as it was not a cardboard flavor or staleness, and no one in the compition feedback suggested it to be oxidation. And it was definitely a sweetness, almost like molasses (not really sulfur). I mean, turbinado sugar is...
