Brewing. Brewing of a batch of wort, of which each person will receive a batch of wort to take home and ferment into beer.

Will each person do their own batch? If so, how will you do the boil? If electric, it may trip your lights to have 5 boils going at once.

Some guys said R1,500 seems like a good price for such a course, considering I'd supply the stuff I supply, but I'm not sure if it's too much? Too little?

Throw in some boerie rolls and I'd say it's a very good deal. 5 hours of brewing is hungry business ;)

That would be easy or arrange. Wors and buns for 5 isn't hard to get done, specially in the Weber. Count it in as part of the package.

EDIT: I have to add I'm no pro. There's a ton of stuff I don't know and a ton of questions I won't be able to answer. I've just done a few things myself and I like to share knowledge.

I would have joined for sure, at that price for the session+wort+boerie it seems very well priced. Too bad I live in in the middle of nowhere.

Guys, trying to gauge some interest here. I am strongly considering hosting a small "how to" workshop at my house, giving a quick breakdown of how to brew your own beer using the Brew In A Bag method. I would like to gauge interest before I set it all up. I will have space for 4 people per session, and I'll definitely host more than one if there's interest.

The session will include the following:

1. Welcoming, introductions and whatnot.
2. Purpose of the session, as well as a quick breakdown of how beer is made, a short history if people would be interested, etc.
3. Recipe breakdown.
3. Ingredients.
4. Process.
5. Yeast, what it does, and why we want to praise the Lord for blessing us with these tiny microbes.
6. Brewing. Brewing of a batch of wort, of which each person will receive a batch of wort to take home and ferment into beer.
7. Airlock, grommet, yeast and instructions on how to ferment and finish your beer at home.

Afterwards I'll pour a homebrew and we can chat for a while before everyone gets sent home. I'll be brewing on my "moerby" homebrew kit. It's VERY basic and it'll give you a good idea of how cheaply beer can be made at home. Such a session will typically take around 5 hours, start to finish, and I'm considering it for a Saturday afternoon, starting around 12:00 midday. Cost is something I'm not clear on. Some guys said R1,500 seems like a good price for such a course, considering I'd supply the stuff I supply, but I'm not sure if it's too much? Too little?

I'm also considering further sessions - such as advanced recipe design and processes, including other fermentables and unfermentables, beer styles and even a basic distillation session.

EDIT: Oh yes, location would be at my place in Pretoria.

Great idea.

I think R1500.00 is too much, make the wort per person smaller and drop the price to below R1000.00.

Travel will kill this for me.
