Brief Introduction

Learn the hows and whys of all-grain beer brewing, while re-purposing your equipment in both rural and urban contexts.

Description

Take a look in any home brewing catalogue and you'd likely feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of trinkets available for purchase. Doesn't that seem kind of strange given the fact that beer has a 7,000 year history?

I've brewed in barns, houses, 125sq/ft apartments, a commercial brewery and with electricity, propane and even over firewood. This course is the summation of my 12 years of brewing and experience. The longer I brew the more I keep coming back to simple, DIY brewing. Over this course, I will walk you through 3 different brewing rigs and their many potential variations. In addition, I will give you a tour of 6 different kegerator configurations and help you find an equipment build that fits your brewing needs without crushing your homebrew budget. Come with me on 2 actual step-by-step brews on 2 different systems: a 50 dollar brew-in-a-bag system and my super efficient 10 gallon/4.5 sq. ft vertical system.

This course includes videos, illustrations, PDFs and pictures and access to I brew-U brew's discussion group.
