7-mile Red Ale – We Love God!

2 Peter 1:21 says, “Men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The Greek word for “moved” is “phero.” It’s a verb that is translated “bring, carry or bear.” It’s the same word that used twice in Acts 27 –Paul’s famous voyage to Rome – of the ship that was at the mercy of the breeze being caried by the wind. It’s origin of the English name, “Christopher.” Christos (Christ) – Phero (Bearing) – Bearing Christ. So, this tells us that the men who wrote Scripture did not have heightened powers or mystical visions or even an ear for God to dictate His word. Rather, they wrote what they knew to be true using their own words, style, experiences and personalities, but as they wrote, the Holy Spirit (pheuma-the same Greek word used in the Bible for wind) was bearing them along. Therefore, when they wrote they wrote the very Word of God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Recipe by: Karl Lutzen Preparation Time: 4:00 Steep crystal malt for
30 minutes in 150 degree water. Sparge into  brew pot of hot water  and
add malt extract. Bring to boil and add  1  ounce Fuggles. 20  minutes
later add another ounce. At the 40 minute mark, toss in the  final half
ounce of fuggles. (Almost threw in a full ounce,  but  after tasting
wort, decided against it---plenty bitter at this  point.) Turn off heat
and add Cascades. Stirred down the hops slowly  and let sit for about
10 minutes. Strain all into fermenter  containing  ice  water. Cooled.
Pitched yeast. Single stage ferment.  Keg, and age a few days. I came
up with the name when helping install  a phone system  and  after the
job was done, I had pulled over seven  miles of  phone  line...ugh!
It's a good ale, but not the "Great Ale"  that  I'm  still  looking
for...maybe it's in the fermenter now?  Original Gravity: 1.044 Final
Gravity: 1.010 Primary Ferment: 10 days  File
