<P class=MsoNormal>If you have an interest in learning to brew, or were just
wondering what goes into the most popular of SCA beverages, come and learn.
This will be a series of classes and hands-on experience. Students will brew
their first batch of beer in class and will also be given books to get them
started. Students will also sample and critique each other's accomplishments.
These techniques apply as well to mead and wine, and all three will be
discussed in class. For obvious reasons, you must be 21 to attend this class.
</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>All classes will be held at Lord Faelan's home, in Cross
Roads, TX. Students will need to purchase some of their own equipment, and all
their own ingredients. Brews will be ready for Gulf Wars!</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>First Session, February, 3 – Brewing 101</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>This is a "classroom" session where the basics of brewing
are explained. Student will learn about grain, malts, hops, honey, grapes,
equipment, fermentation, sanitation and basic processes. Beer, mead and wine
are all covered, as well as the differences in brewing each one. Modern and
period beers and techniques will be discussed. Each person will also receive a
book and class notes. Bring a notebook and pencil. Students will be given
equipment and ingredient lists to acquire for the next class. </P>RSVP by
February 5 so that materials can be available. The cost of books is $10.
<P class=MsoNormal> Second Session, February 10 – First Batch</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Students will brew their first batches of beer. This "lab"
class will teach students the practical side of sanitation and brewing
techniques. Fermenters can be left at Faelan's home.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Third Session, February 24 – Bottling</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Students will bottle their beer. Some equipment will be
available for use and won't need to be purchased by students. Proper
technique, sanitation, and how to avoid some of the pitfalls will be
covered.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Forth Session, March 10 – Tasting and critique</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Everyone samples everyone else's brew and comments and
suggestions all around. If you can't make it to this class because of Gulf
Wars, don't worry, take your brew, and pass it around. No-one turns down brew
at war, and you'll get a lot of feedback.</P>Class is limited to 6 people, so
please RSVP as soon as possible.
