Course objectives

The techniques you learn in this course will serve you every time you brew, so take all the time you need to understand the terms and concepts as best you can. When you've completed this course, you'll understand how to

1. Sanitize your brewing equipment.
2. Obtain flavor, color, and sugars from malt extract and specialty grains.
3. Use hops for bitterness, flavor, and aroma.
4. Boil and chill wort (unfermented beer).
5. Use yeast for healthy fermentation.
6. Monitor fermentation of your homebrew.
7. Rack (transfer) beer from one vessel to another.
8. Condition your homebrew with or without dry hops.
9. Bottle your homebrew.
10. Serve and enjoy your homebrew.

The more you practice homebrewing, the more intuitive these concepts will become. Before long, they'll be second nature, and you'll impress your friends with your beer knowledge.
