About this course
Learn to brew beer you are proud to pour by mastering the four ingredients and the process that binds them: malt for sugar and colour, hops for bitterness and aroma, yeast for fermentation, and water as the solvent. You will run a simple extract batch, then a full all-grain mash at a 65 to 68 degree Celsius rest, hit your gravities, pitch the right amount of healthy yeast, hold a steady fermentation temperature, and package by bottle or keg. By the end you can plan a recipe, execute a clean brew day, ferment without faults, carbonate to style, and trace common off-flavours like diacetyl, DMS, and acetaldehyde back to their causes.
