Beer Brewing FUNdraiser

A few weeks ago, several of us gathered again at Citizen Brewery to prepare two varieties of beer for them to brew for us. Weighing and grinding the grains is the first step. The ingredients are then poured into hot water contained in large copper kettles and stirred, maintaining a constant temperature. Next the fluid is drained and poured into another similar container to the first, and brought down to a lower temperature via a cooling mechanism. Lastly, the brew is transferred to a keg and yeast is added. The keg is rolled back and forth to mix the contents well and now the brew will ferment.

We will all return in mid-December to transfer the final product to sterile bottles and cap them. If you would like to help with this final process, you can. Contact Ivan Alba for details.

Teaming up to clean it up

On September 23, 2023, several of our members gathered at a site between the AAA building and the medical offices building along Alvarado Creek off of Fletcher Parkway in La Mesa. This was to assist with the annual I Love A Clean San Diego Creek To Bay Clean-up day. It is amazing how much trash piles up in just a year! It is also amazing what we find each time we participate! Also helping but not pictured were Laurel and Grant.

Shoveling Compost at Tubman Charter School

On Saturday morning at 8am, our newest member Dierdre Kleske organized several Rotarians (Ivan, Marco, Ivy, Ana, Dierdre, David, and visiting Richard Makao) to move a large mound of compost to the vegetable beds at Tubman Village Charter School. Many of our friends and families volunteered to help that morning as well. The Tubman students will soon have lots of wonderful vegetables to eat and learn about when school starts.
