We’ll meet in the lounge to have have our beer tasting: if you know an unusual or special beer that you’d love to taste but have been waiting for that moment, this is it. We’ll each sample what people (including you, if you want!) bring. While we’re tasting beers we’ll seek inspiration from them and each other and determine what recipe we’re looking to brew. Then we’ll head over to Brew & Grow and posibly Jewel to pick up some ingredients (they’re both right around the corner, how convenient). By 2:00 PM or so we’ll start boiling water and commencing the afternoon of brewing our own beer.
Around evening time after we finish up the brew and get everything cleaned, those who stayed ’til the end will get to taste the warm, sweet, and flavorful wort. Meanwhile, the yeast will be tasting it for the first time themselves. A few weeks after the brew, some of us will take the next steps of kegging the beer or putting it into a secondary fermenter.
This is a hands on class and collaborative project. If you have any questions we’ll do our best to answer them and any participant is totally welcome to take part in any of the steps of the brew: mashing, sparging, weighing ingredients, grinding grain, boiling, stirring, cleaning, racking, pitching yeast, setting up the bubble trap, and many other steps. If you’d rather just watch that’s fine too.
You must be 21 years of age to participate in Beer Church.
