What students say

5.0 from 3 reviews
  • This is a great (albeit), introductory overview of the use of alternative grain. Presentation by a brewer/brewery that truly uses these grains (with success), magnifies the viewer interest as does the practical, yet scientific approach. I really like the intermingling of video, text and recipe application.
    William Dernell
  • Good discussion about the hows and whys of having wheat, oats, rye, and all the various sugars in your beer recipe.
    Victor Aume
  • Must course for the non-traditional brewer. I enjoyed the knowledge shared in this course.
