Intro To Beer & Home Brewing

We are thrilled to partner with two passionate local homebrewers, Jay Highfill and Jamye Naramore, to offer this highly informative class about brewing beer at home.  If you’ve thought it would be a treat to make your own brew, then join us to get you started and on the road to “personal sudsdom” (I made that one up.)

Jay and Jayme are active members of the Kansas City Bier Meisters (KCBM), the oldest homebrewing club in Kansas and Missouri and they know home brewing inside and out. They’re the real deal, folks!

Today’s class will cover lots of beer brewing basics like various styles of beer and how they are served. We’ll get into brewing terminology and an overview of the entire brewing process; ingredients and how they interact and affect the beer; equipment and proper clean-up and equipment sanitation; and more! Of course, we’ll sample some beer and enjoy some snacks.

We’ll talk about beer’s aroma, mouth “feel,” color and head … characteristics that will further our appreciation of beer. We’ll discuss hops, malt and the ever-important ingredient – yeast… how to use it, care for it, prepare it and pitch it.

This class will no doubt be a “big draw” (we couldn’t help ourselves), so don’t wait to sign up!
