[Loch-Ruadh] Brewing Class Review

[Elizabeth Hawkwood]

I had a great time! And I can't wait to make a batch of beer.
The visit to the Winemaker shop was interesting, too... who knew
there were so many different kinds of yeast! And those flavorings...
blueberry, apricot, strawberry.... 
And to think we can use part of the left overs for bread baking - WOW, 
what a boon!

I hope that everyone who attended the brewing class on Saturday had as much 
fun as I did.  Many thanks to Elizabeth for letting us hold the class at her 
house.  The layout of her kitchen/dining/living room was perfect for that 
kind of demonstration.

For those who were unable to attend, Dunstan took a lot of pictures (as I 
forgot to get the video camera from my daughter) and as soon as he's had a 
chance to sort them out and get them to me, I'll write up a narative to go 
with them and post everything online so you can follow along with what we 
did.

The handouts from the class are available at 
http://www.geocities.com/padraig_ruad/BrewingGuild/.  Of course, if you want 
to do a taste test on the beers we sampled, you'll have to go to World 
Market or someplace similar to get them.

The beer made during the class, a Maple Oatmeal Stout, is currently sitting 
in my kitchen, but the fermentation doesn't seem to have started yet.  I 
will make a trip to The WInemaker Shop sometime today to pcik up some yeast 
nutrient to try to get it jump-started.  I'm hoping to have it ready to 
drink by Warlord.

I've also decided that sometime within the next month, I am going to brew 
another batch of the Honey Mild Ale that I took to Gulf War, as everyone who 
has tried that one has enjoyed it.  I'll let everyone know when I'm going to 
brew it up.
