a Great Falls home Brewer is sharing his
award-winning recipe MTN's joheun dziga
tells us how he went from a craft beer
beginner to big time brewing Steve
Cantrell's beer brewing journey started
unexpectedly about two years ago one of
my friend's wife worked at one of the
queries and and I've never had craft
beer before and hey let's go out let's
go have a drink and so he went out there
and I really liked it
then I started started looking in maybe
I can do this myself you know a small
starter kit was all it took
sometimes I heard my first beer I was
like and it escalated from there with
loving support plus my wife she puts up
with me last summer Cantrell entered a
dark beer with blood orange and
coriander in a contest with the Montana
home brewers association and mighty moe
brew Co and he walked away with best of
show the winning beer got to scale their
recipe up and brew it here on the big
system it's different that's a lot of
fun no this week Cantrell started up 310
gallons of his blood moon beer it's a
bigger batch and a lot more cleanup than
he's used to but the experience is worth
the work every home brewer kind of
dreams of you know producing their beer
commercially so I think that's pretty
cool for them to be able to do that
before his blood moon even hits the tap
Cantrell says he hopes to win again and
that means back to the drawing board
most the time I'm always tinkering
experimenting with this expert so it
works with that it's all part of
fermenting a favorite in Great Falls Joe
who's again MTN news
ken trails Blood Moon beer will go on
top at mighty moe in two to three weeks
