Beer Class Date Changed- How to HomeBrew

Sorry, I changed the date to a Wednesday the 13th.  I have too many schedule conflicts.

Learn how to brew starting with all-grain to a Brewer's Best Ingredient Kit.

I will start with a mash of 3 lbs of grain and add this wort to the ingredient kit. I will also explain the differences of grains and the basics of liquid yeast verses dry yeast.  Comment on the style of beer to brew. I'm thinking of a last summer/fall style.

How to Brew Beer Class – Free Class

When: April 13, 2011, 

Where: Table Top Brewing – Private room

Time: 5 to 8 pm

Class notes: The class went very well and thanks for everyone that was there.  Here is a picture on the wort fermenting that I took at 10:30 am. We pitched the yeast around 8 pm the following evening. Since I am fermenting in the glass 6.5 gallon carboy I took a picture of the yeast kraeusen head. Since most homebrewers ferment in the 6.5 gallon fermentation bucket the krausen head is missed.  Note: I have an old shirt over the carboy to keep the light out.

Primary fermentation refers to the initial, active phase when the yeast is forming the kraeusen head. During this stage the yeast is actively fermenting the malt sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide. Primary fermentation i s generally over when the kraeusen head disappears.

I will be there but may be late. I had planned on attending THursday and made plans to golf on Wednesday, but I will be there after golf, just maybe a little late, so take your time and go slow.
