Brotherhood Brewfest
I’m not sure. Select for our club
Page 1
Each year, the Brotherhood brews 2 beers in the synagogue kitchen. We hold a beer tasting of the styles we are brewing, serve lunch and (those not brewing) watch football on a projection screen. The beer we make is served at our Man of the Year dinner, and some of it is bottled and gifted to the Man of the Year recipient.
1) 2 or 3 members select beer styles and recipes (different each year).
2) Prior to brew day, ingredients are purchased at a local homebrew shop. We brew only with kosher extract and steeping grains, hops, and spices so as to ensure kashrut.
3) All brotherhood members are invited to brew with us, or at least attend the day, have lunch and sample beer.
4) On brew day, we spend 3 hours brewing (usually the program starts with a board meeting, then softball meeting, and lunch). As many members as want to participate are invited to do so, and to learn about the brewing process. When the brewing is complete we clean up and call it a day.
5) After the beer is fermented, several members help with bottling, though the majority of beer is kegged to be served on draft at the Man of the Year dinner.
6) The bottled beer is labeled for the honoree.
7) At the man of the year dinner, we serve the beer on draft to the members and guests present. L'Chaim!
