Paul Odell does a great job making you comfortable brewing Belgian Abby Ale. His delivery is excellent and give you the essentials of the styles while still doin it his way.
This course was very helpful. The history of the Belgian ales was interesting. The brewing session for the golden ale was excellent. It was interesting to see the brew setup used and I personally picked up several new techniques that I am looking forward to trying.
The course is informative for veteran home brewers and beginners alike. Comprehensive and delivered in an engaging way. Cheers!
