At our November meeting, we discussed this year’s club brew and the annual holiday party. Then we tasted four great homebrews. Thanks to Stein’s and everyone who showed up.
- Report on last month’s tour of Admiral Maltings: A group of us took a couple of Ubers to Admiral which is located in Alameda. It was an enjoyable outing, and we were given a tour of the facility which practices traditional floor malting. While there, we even got to see an employee turn the malt. The tasting room featured a number of beers and spirits made with Admiral’s malts.
- Annual holiday party: This year’s party will be held jointly with the Worts of Wisdom on December 7th at Clandestine Brewing. The event will begin at 4:30. It’ll be a potluck, and there will be a white elephant exchange.
- Club brew: The recipe will be the same bière de Noël recipe we brewed last year. Nathan has offered to host the brewing and has the equipment necessary to brew and ferment 15 gallons of beer. We chose to brew the beer Saturday, December 7th (before the party).
