Class Description

Description

Brewers make wort. Yeast make beer. Our yeast class and accompanying tasting will delve deeply into the world of everyone’s favorite microorganism.

The yeast lecture will cover:

  • Yeast Nutrition, growth and chemical pathways that effect home brewers.
  • How to choose and maintain a happy culture in your home brew and how strain selection impacts beer flavor.
  • Pitching rates, Propagation, starters, collection (top and bottom cropping) storage.
  • We’ll discuss the changes in cultures over generations and how home brewers rinse & clean yeast to repitch.

Tasting:

During the second half of the class we’ll conduct a tasting experiment to identify flavor differences between yeast strains under ideal fermentation conditions. The school took a large batch of beer and separated it into eight fermenters. We then pitched a different yeast into each fermenter.

Refund Policy

We don’t issue refunds, but if you need to reschedule your class for any reason, you have up to 13 business days in advance to do so.

If you find yourself missing the deadline, try asking around and see if a friend can take your spot. You’ll get the refund and fill a perfectly good spot. Everybody wins!

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    The reason why I left a negative review was not because the course was bad (it was a really passionate course and the guys were great). It was because we didn't expect it to be an advanced microbrewing course (which it was) and expected a beer tasting course (which it was to a very lesser extent).
