Great view into how beer was made. Learned how to make invert sugar and diastatic brown malt. Just need time to put it into practice. Thanks for another fine lesson in the world that is beer.
The speaker was very knowledgeable and gave a great background on beer making from many years ago.
As someone who likes the English style beers, I really enjoyed learning how to make my own inverts and brown malts Cheers
