Beer Revolution 2nd Anniversary St.Eve Inagural Brewday



Beer Collaboration with Steve Donahue at Firehouse Brewing in Sunnyvale which is being brewed for Beer Revolution's 2nd anniversary party in early February. Steve and I met with Rebecca a couple weeks back and decided to brew a Belgian Tripel with a St.Eve twist or two. We had a lot of supporters stop by during the brew: Pete Slosberg, Arie Litman, Peter Estaniel and Alec Stephanski all made appearances. The beer knocked out at 19.6 Plato and is fermenting away very happily for its debut in about 6 weeks.
The first of many golden sugar crystal additions that occurred throughout the duration of the boil.
Motivational Speakers were present
