Cedar Rapids Brewing Society

I'm going to foray into all-grain this weekend for the first time. I converted a 10 gal Rubbermaid cooler for my MLT and the GF bought me a 8 gallon boil kettle with ball valve and thermometer.

I have a recipe set up at Brewmasters Warehouse called the above "Short Bus Bitter". I figure if I screw it up like I expect to then the name will be truly earned.

My recipe is below if anyone is interested. Based on 75% efficiency (hopefully) and a 5.5 gal batch.

Glad to say with some bottle conditioning this turned out very well.

We expect to sample it at the meeting at Randy's!

It'll be there.

You better watch out, this is how we determine if you're worthy or membership in our club.....

Wait, if that was the case I would've been gone long ago.

Oh god. I can't handle the pressure! Ha Ha.
