Description
 
Audience:
This seminar is designed for individuals who are interested in learning about fermenting various alcohol based beverages other than beer; e.g. grape and fruit wines, hard cider and mead (honey wine).
Purpose:
To give participants a general understanding of the hobby to help determine if it warrants further investment and pursuit.

Content:
  • This is a seminar style class with an ongoing Q&A dialog. A batch of wine will not be assembled but all steps of the process will be discussed and/or simulated when appropriate. Questions answered:
  • What is alcoholic beverage fermentation?
  • Is it legal?
  • Is it safe?
  • How long does it take?
  • What kind of equipment do you need? We will show you several different options.
  • How much does it cost (upfront, ongoing)?
  • Ingredient selection and recipe development?
  • What determines the strength (alcohol percentage)?
  • What is the basic process and timeline from fermentation to drinking.

In summary, these are all questions that a non-brewing, walk-in customer would typically ask as they browse the store. It is our intention to refer those customers to this seminar so that they can get all the answers along with their peers when the shop is quiet.
We will also review the typical instructions for a brewing kit to be sure participants understand what the steps are, demonstrate proper liquid transfer/racking, sanitizing and bottling techniques.

Extras:
Attendees of this class will receive 10% off their first purchase to be used either the same day or up to a week in the future. This is most logically used if the attendee decides to purchase a beginner equipment and/or ingredients kit. This discount may NOT be used for advanced equipment such as conical fermenters.

Schedule:
We plan to have run this particular class once every six weeks, though there may be some breaks depending on demand. The available dates, if already scheduled will be listed as a drop down option above the "add to cart" button. If there are no sessions scheduled, it will say "no sessions available at this time".

Runtime:
The class is planned for 1.5 hours of presentation with additional 30 minutes allotted for Q&A.
