what kind of hops are you using?

Most have been cascade. One was amarillo.

Should I just bring a Growler?

Yeah that's perfect. At the meetings, we all sit around and sample each other beer.

There is also a contest. The August theme is lawnmower beers. We score the beers 1-10 and the highest score gets a prize. The prizes are usually pretty good.

Are you on city water? If so have you been treating your water at all?

I live in Fletcher but I'm on Asheville city water. I've had mine tested by ward labs. I think the city water is very good for brewing but it needs calcium and magnesium. I use tap water and add salts to adjust for all my brews. I do a more conventional mash and batch sparge in a cooler. I don't have a reoccurring tart flavor in my beer.

Can anyone else out there take a look at this and see if anything might have been overlooked?
