Learn all about the art of brewing beer in this hands-on workshop. This should be a bit more in depth than the last workshop. Participants will go home with 1 gallon of wort in their own fermentation demijohn that will later turn into beer. You should expect to get about 9-10 beers from this gallon.

We will be brewing an American barley wine. This beer will be great for sipping on those cold winter nights. This will be a big beer. It has double the amount of normal ingredients. It will be sweet, hoppy, and boozy. 10-13%ABV

All are welcome to attend. However, due to equipment limitations, we will only have 15 Lab Kits. Please see costs section below if you want to purchase one of the Lab Kits.

This class is graciously hosted by NSL Keyholder Nz0!

Wear comfortable clothes that you wouldn't mind possibly getting splashed on with sticky wort.

A thirst for learning and that which barley hops and water make.

=============================

Prepare your brain before the class:

Brewing takes about a month from to go from the boil kettle to being a beer in your glass. Patience grasshopper.

This class will have homework (but it is for a good cause) and will have a followup class likely in February.
