5.0 from 3 reviews
I'm new to home brewing but absolutely fascinated by the balance of science and art that goes into the process. Courses like this are really instrumental in building that base knowledge that will help me feel more prepared and more comfortable with future recipe development and playing with different hops combinations!
The course provides a great amound of information in a relatively compact duration. My understanding of a wide spectrum of hops topics has been improved. Great content with an effective format combining text and video lectures.
Amazing content and knowledge. Very well delivered with a lot of great tips on how to use hops in your recipe
