Big Brew


Saturday was the American Homebrew Association's 'Big Brew' day. My local brewclub, RIFT (Rhode Island Fermentation Technicians) gathered at John C's house in Exeter for a monster brew.

John has gone over the top with his brew equipment; he normally makes fifteen gallon batches, for this event he broke in a new 55 gallon mash tun and we made 50 gallons of a British Dark Mild Ale.

The sheer scale of this brew was bordering on a commercial operation.  Over 70 pounds of grain went into the batch.
