Applied Art & Technology Brews BEER

Its a Beer.

On the night of January 22 AAT beer was born. It was a freezing cold day, so a few of us got together and brewed up 5 gallons of alcoholic goodness. Some came to teach, others to learn, and of course drink some brew.

The vote was taken and scientifcally broken down to determine our winner; Banana Cream Stout. Yes, banana beer. The champion by popular demand, beating out such other as; Oatmeal stout, Railsplitter Red, Decade Doppelbock, and Apple Crisp Beer.

Cooked to perfection and then cooled in a beautiful snowpile. Give it a few weeks and we will be enjoying this experimental brew.

Here is the recipe we used:

1) 10.6 lb liquid malt extract
2) 1 lb lactose
3) 7 oz munich
