  • I have been brewing stouts for a long time now and this course opened my eyes for endless opportunities to improve my stouts. Linsey Cornish in these video sections does an excellent job of describing her methods of brewing stouts. The text from other contributors offer their take on various aspects of brewing stouts. In all, this is a wonderful course for those that want to hone their stout skills.
