It is with great pleasure to announce the successful completion of the club’s first all-grain brew – a 3.4 gallon batch of Oak Tree (an American Amber Ale), made on a cold and rainy NorCal day while simultaneously watching the NFL AFC and NFC championship games.
In preparation for all-grain brewing, the club has recently acquired a new 30-qt aluminum kettle (7.5 gallon; enough to boil most low to mid-gravity 5-gallon brews) and a Corona-style grain-mill from Amazon (Grizzly.com). We will be brewing the Oak Tree recipe this weekend to try out the new equipment and get a little tricep/bicep workout with the manually-cranked grinder!
