Home Beer Brewing
It’s easier than you think to make delicious beer at home! This class will teach you the basics of how to make beer, from start to finish. We will go through all the steps involved to brew in your kitchen, as we brew a batch of ale in the classroom. During the brew, we will discuss the basic theory behind each part of the process while tasting some samples of various styles. In the spirit of Culture Club 101, we will also discuss potential health benefits of homebrew vs. commercial beer, as well as organic and gluten-free brewing options. In an optional follow-up meeting 6 weeks later (no additional cost), we will get together to taste the class-brewed batch, and share any new homebrews.
