Join the home brewing craze. You can learn tips and techniques to doing your own home brew. In partnership with Evanston Home Brew Club we will lead you on a step by step journey through home brewing. There will be members of the club available to talk about the science behind the process that changes simple grains and hops into a tasty beverage. We’ll be on hand to answer all your questions around home brewing. We will be doing an extract brew with some steeping grains, to give you a good feel for the entire process. In this interactive session, you will be able to participate in brewing a 5-gallon batch from making the wort, hop additions, boiling, chilling and pitching yeast. We will plan for a 10-14 day primary fermentation, with a bottling session (if you’re available) in a session 2-3 weeks from the initial brew day. Your registration fee includes six-pack of the beer that we brewed during the session to share and sample. Location: Evanston Ecology Center Age: 21 yrs. and up Fee: $50 R/$63 NR Length: 1 session
