What students say
Great overview of brewing big stouts and how to adjunct them
We've been wondering how to take next steps with our big stouts, and this gives us so many ideas to pursue, from a couple of brewers we admire.
Enjoyable Course
The course was well designed and laid out. The brewer covered most of the issues concerning adding flavored adjuncts to high gravity stouts.
Great class!
I’ve watched a lot of the classes so far and really enjoyed the way Phil presents things. Easy to listen to.

Perennial Stouts
Good times with Phil discussing some key points to making good Imperial Stouts.
excellent - thanks
great appreciate the sharing
Nice input on adjuncts
Great to see Perennial sharing some info on this kind of style. They do a good job in my opinion. Very clear info. But would suggest to be more alert to units.
It was ok
Completed the topic. I am more interested in brewing techniques for the home brewer.
great aside from the obvious adverts through the video for perennial
