What students say
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.
The course was well designed and laid out. The brewer covered most of the issues concerning adding flavored adjuncts to high gravity stouts.
I’ve watched a lot of the classes so far and really enjoyed the way Phil presents things. Easy to listen to.
