The brew club has received a couple generous donations recently from local friends of the club. Chris and Audrey (Billy Goat Hop Farm) have donated almost 16 lbs of hops and Kevin McHugh (Pomona Brewing Co., opening soon at N 9th and Townsend) has donated a whopping 840 lbs of grain. Below is a table with the items listed.
We’ve kicked around the idea of creating a recipe from these ingredients, possibly a brown ale, stout, or lager with Munich, Vienna, or pilsner malt as the base. You would just need to add a yeast to finish the beer then in a couple of months we could get together to try the different examples.
If you are interested, let Eric know (or email the group). If you have a recipe that would work with the ingredients that would make a group brew, throw it out there. If you just want to grab a bunch of grains, that is great too. Matt Landt currently is housing the grains, Hoover’s have the hops. They are included in the original email so you can contact them directly to make arrangements to pick up the items. You’ll need to supply bags or buckets for the grains.
As an example, I found this stout recipe online that fits our ingredients.
