Don't know if a FaceBook link will work but sure will try right now.

Link doesn't work for me. I hope the label will have "The Fist"

I met the "Brown Bomber" many years ago and as long as it had American made Vienna malt in it he probably would have enjoyed it.. LOL

A true gentle, gentleman.

Why would you link it through facebook? Some people don't do facebook.

I'm guessing you are friends with the members and therefore they can see it. It doesn't look available to the public.

Lets try it again for the "big" group.

First two pictures, getting the equipment and supplies ready

Next heating the strike water and grain in the cooler. You can see top of thermometer in center of grain.

Next getting every drop of wort out of the grain. I do small 1.75 gallon batches which yeald about 17 bottles.

Check pre-boil gravity and begin the boil. You can see digital thermometer probe through the haze.

During the boil it's lunch time.

Straining wort into fermenter, 2 gallon bucket from HD.

All American yeast US-05 for an all American brew

Sealed and delivered to the fermenting chamber (7 cu ft freezer set to 64*)

Nice! You got a recipe?

"how many hawaiins does it take to brew 17 bottles of beer?"

I'm still working on the end of the joke.

Depends on how much beer gets drunk during the process.

Sometimes we have to call in the second team to help out. LOL

So you guys drink 30 bottles of beer while making 17? How does that work out at the end of the week?

Gotta brew more. But I'm the only one of that group you saw that does small batches. The other guys are into 10 gal brews.
