Courses/Training

[ginner]

Hi,

I am looking at doing a training course to develop my knowledge of the brewing process, preferably with some hands on training using commercial equipment. I was wondering if anybody could recommend any particular courses and give me any feedback if they have been on them. The ones that i have been researching so far are:

Brewlab courses
IDB courses
Training course by PDC brewery
Fundamentals of Mini brewery

Has anyone been on any of these course, which ones offer the best value for money or are there any others I'm missing. Or is it worth going on any of them?

Thanks
Ginner

What do you want from it? ie are you looking to go commercial, get a job in the industry or just be the best homebrewer ever?

The dream would be to go commercial but that is a long way off financially.

Hi, I'm going to a Brewlab course in Feb on Wild yeasts, cider, kombucha, and growing mushrooms on spent grain. Will let you know how it goes. I do already use them for analysis of my beers and all cleaning/sanitising products and been well pleased so far.

Come round my drum on a brewday and you can watch how it should be done for a tenner. I might even throw in a cup of tea.

For a tenner i would expect at least one bottle of your finest home brew. :laugh2:

I can reccommend the PBC course did it 18 months back, it was excellent

Definitively like the sound of the price :)

Thanks for the recommendation, it is top of the list at the moment based on price at it looks like you get quite a lot of hands on experience.

Thanks for the offers guys! But the brewlab course was perfect. A big part was setting up a lab and refresh on lab use. Now got kombucha and mushrooms starting. The mushroom growing on spent grain is worth a new thread by itself!

There we have it @Druncan, there's not mushroom for maneuver on this one. We want to hear about a fungi who went against the grain.

Get round to chez gunge. If he offers you the curry make sure it comes with the iced lavatory paper and a road map of public conveniences for the journey home....

I did it last November. A week well spent. Not like doing a science degree just good, standard process advice.
