Brew-U: Brewing 201

Intermediate Home Brewing Techniques

Homebrew Using Some Extra Equipment! Lessons for those wanting to know a little more – Yeast starters, sparging, chilling, kegging.

We took the 40 or attendees last year as a sign that we should probably do this one again. The intermediate class covers how to take basic homebrewing techniques up one more level in order to achieve better and more consistent results. It involves a lot of discussion and participation by some of the club's experienced members and participants will walk away with a wealth of tips and new ideas.

Items we'll discuss include:

• Yeast starters and the use of stir plates.
• Kegging, carbonation caps, and bottle using pressure fillers.
• Wort chilling - immersion vs. counter flow.
• Grain crushing
