Intro to home brew

Part 1, 3-4pm – Getting started: what/where/how (i.e. a brief history of beer and the key ingredients, with samples to touch and smell); equipment required (i.e. kits, bottling gear, best places to buy them); tips for optimal fermentation; and brewing outcomes and variances in flavour.

Part 2, 4-5pm – Next steps: where does home brewing lead (i.e. improving processes and beer quality); better equipment (i.e. fridges to control temperature, kegs rather than bottles, kegerators); and competitions, social and other outcomes.

Beginners should feel free to just attend the first part. Current home brewers should feel free to just attend the second part.

Facilitated by (T)Hursty Brewers Homebrew Club, more specifically Brian Jones, David Morton, Holger Detje and Jo Skuse.
