Do you like beer? Do you like aggressively hopped, intense beer that challenges the taste buds? Does the word "experimental", in description of beer, entice you instead of scaring you away? Do you find all mass-produced Finnish beer to be sadly lacking in taste? Well, make your own!
We will learn how to make beer at home, but explore techniques not commonly used by other homebrewers: stealing yeast from commercial beer, throwing weird ingredients in, and overloading any/all elements of beer.
The class participants would split the cost of materials and make some insane ales, which would then be bottled after a few weeks and split evenly among the participants. While we wait for the wort to boil, we will drink some of our favorite beers. As a "textbook", we can refer to Sam Calagione's Extreme Brewing.
