After reading my first bunch of books on brewing, this course was really helpful in its clear and concise presentation of the brewing process. No matter what style you might plan to experiment with, this intro course will get you on the right track. Thanks again!
I loved it. I made a lot of notes and will refer to them I am sure.
This course was well worth the time spent to complete it. Although I knew much of the information, the way it was presented made the process clear and simple. I can't wait to move on to the next one!
