Ah, I have a fond memory of visiting Catamount's little brewery in Vermont and buying a case of Amber Ale. Back in the late 1980s-early 1990s most of the microbreweries in New England were heavily influenced by styles of the United Kingdom. I recall a number of malty pale ales and amber ales...

Nice!

Thanks for the update. I used to be my own worst critic if my beer didn't come out exactly as expected. Now if I make a beer that I and others enjoy drinking, then I'm no longer hard on myself. Like you said, learn from it and look forward to brewing the next batch.

From what I've heard on the Jamil show, those guys feel that maintaining a constant temp is important. They said that even if the temperature range stays within guidelines, a temperature that fluctuates back and forth even just 3° (warmer during the day, colder at night). can put stress on the...
