[foodhackingbase] brew tasting and beer brewing workshop at 31c3

[Ingo Weidauer]

Hi,

I think we should seperate between beer/wine and non-alcoholic beverages.
At the end we were a lot of people drinking and disussing about beer. 
(some strawberry wine was also included)
Bringing more drinks into account might be too much depending on the 
size of the space we have.

I already told Frantisek, that I would like to organise a Demo workshop 
explaining the principles of brewing + making a mesh.
I did this last time as a demo on the tables for people passing by.
I made a mesh and every 10-20minutes I bottles some liquid from the mesh.
So everyone was able to taste the whole process and a lot of them were 
interested how the "sugar comes out of the grain".
Furthermore I had different sorts of malt and hop.

My idea for this year is:
Making a mesh during the workshop and tell people about the process of 
beer brewing. Having all the ingredients and different kind of beers for 
tasting e.g. malty/strong/IPA....


Is there anyone else who would like to participate??
Has anyone a good idea?


@Frantisek: What do you think is the best time for that.
I would prefer having the beer tasting the evening before.

Sincerely,
Ingo
