Brew Your Own magazine is running a series of homebrew Boot Camps around the country, and lucky for California, they're second! February 24th and 25th Ill be leading sessions in Santa Rosa (excited to finally make it to Russian River...).
Friday will be wood and barrels, with hands-on experience installing stainless steel sample nails, removing and replacing the head of a barrel, and a comparison tastings of the same beer treated with different woods. Saturday the focus shifts to sours beers (surprise), including a lecture, blending session (with my homebrewed sours), capturing wild microbes, and creating a custom sour beer recipe/process.
More details on my sessions on my blog.
Here is the link to sign up (other speakers include Chris White, Gordon Strong, Vinnie Cilurzo, and Sean Paxton)! Sign up soon, a few of the sessions are already sold out for the November version in Burlington, VT.
