Overview
About this experience
Beer is one of the oldest things people make, and one of the most rewarding to learn. The Homebrewing Academy teaches it properly: the science, the ingredients and the craft, from experienced brewing professionals.
Start with the theory, go straight to a brew day, or book both as one package. Every course is small and practical, so you leave knowing how beer is made and how to make it yourself.
Learn by doing
On the practical day you work hands-on with a 60 to 70 litre batch: working with the ingredients, running the equipment and controlling the process at each stage. When the beer is ready, you take home your share.

Questions
Questions and answers
Do I need any brewing experience?
No. Basic Theory starts from first principles, and on the practical day our brewers guide you through every step.
Should I take the theory course first?
It helps, and Theory + Practical books both together. But each course can also be booked on its own.
How much beer do I take home?
Practical Brewing participants take home up to 5 litres each. The exact amount depends on the final yield of the batch, which varies a little with every brew.
When are the courses?
