Tiny Brew

We had some left over ingredients (grain and hops) so we made a little beer with them.  There weren't a lot of grain left so we cut the batch size to 2 gallons and the beer will only be about 2% abv.  We were racking a stout to a secondary fermenter so we used the stout's yeast cake for this new beer.  The new beer is very dark due to the Carafa III grains.  Below is a picture of me crushing the Carafa III with a rolling pin.  It's not an efficient way to crush grains but we didn't have much to crush.  Hopefully, the beer will be drinkable.  We'll see.
