Stopped by on a water related question post tonight. Gary Spedding here - long time since I home brewed but we do test a lot of America's craft brews and might have answers to some of your technical questions. I interact with several members of the Lexington, KY homebrew club - some of whom are on our sensory panel. Hope to hear from you and to help out if I can. Especially if you are already or thinking of joining the 750 or so potential new US breweries. Its getting saturated out there and quality will distinguish the real brewers from the wannabes.
