So last week we got together for our 3rd meeting. It was good to gather again, enjoy some really good Pumpkin Ale from the last meeting, and brew something new. After looking at the results of the survey, Christmas ale won. So we just went with a Jubelale recipe from Brew Brothers, doubled it, and brewed it up! We'll be having about 2 gallons on tap at our next meeting, and we'll bottle about 8 gallons so y'alls can take some home to enjoy and give as gifts. Another great reason to homebrew, cheap gifts that people get really excited about!
