I used Reverse Osmosis water for a vienna that was lagered about 3 weeks. I'm currently drinking it now, and it does taste good. But, of course I want to improve it. It's not very crisp and the flavors don't seem to pop out very much. Is this a result of using such soft water? No brewing...

So I'm getting into brewing lagers because I now have the right equipment to keep the lagers cool. I'm now drinking a Vienna right now that was only lagered 3 weeks. This is kinda short, but this beer tastes good. I'm wondering to myself If it would taste different if I had lagered it...

I got a super nice Fermentation going with my malty Ale. It was exactly 5.5 gal. in a 6.5 gal. carboy at 65 degrees Farenheit. The original gravity was at 1.053. I had siphoned off some yeast into a 1000 ml eyrlenmier flask and re-pitched! The photos are at 40 hours after pitch. I just...
