CAP bottled

Bottled my classic american pilsner tonight. A low attenuator, 1.040 to 1.014, partly because I used 2112 Cali lager yeast and partly (or moreso) because it was wort from the dregs of Grumpy's mash tun from their Tomcat classic american pils. This is the third beer that has underattenuated from the very last runnings of their tun, so I am inclined to believe that the very final runnings from a large mash do indeed include less fermentable carbohydrates. Excellent for a light beer, but tricky if you're doing anything else. It does taste very nice though, and should make an excellent mid-strength beer.
I have set aside a few stubbies of this one for comps, as well as a few of my steam beer. I am going to do that for each beer that fits competition guidelines over the next couple months, and attempt to have a good crack at SABSOSA and ANAWBS. I also look forward to help judging at ANAWBS this year. Though not any category my own beer is in, of course.
