[Homebrewers] Steinbier Update

[Michael]

Thanks to all who made it over to the Third Annual Steinbier brew yesterday - a most excellent time was had by all.  Special kudos to the esteemed Mr. Bunch for his help (it's a fact: no one handles hot rocks better than Jeff!).  I have a ProMash ball cap and a small plastic container with two cigars (Mr. Pratt, are these yours?).


As for the beer, we made approximately 5.5 gallons of alt at 1.050, and approximately 4.5 gallons of alt-steinbier at 1.044, efficiency coming in at aproximately 76%.  The two worts are remarkably different.  The alt is nice and sweet with the hop bitterness inthe back.  The steinbier is smokey and hammy, with almost no perceptible sweetness.  I think this is the most pronounced one we've made yet - let's keep our fingers crossed!  In additions the two Daves (Pratt and Barlow) also brewed yielding a productive 25 gallon session for the day. Nicely done.

See ya on the 7th!
