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

[Marcel van der Peijl]

I have a bottle of hacker-brew cider made from freshly juiced apples (which 
apparently is alcoholic but not bubbly) and a bought bottle of smoky oak 
barreled cider. Who knows I might bring prison hooch :). So count me in for 
the homebrew tasting session.

Sine we have one evening of cheese tasting, one evening of whiskey tasting 
and one evening of homebrew tasting, all evening are booked, we just have to 
decide who picks what evening. Frantisek had some preference for the cheese, 
Ingo has some preference, I don't care when the whiskey evening is.

We do have to get some sign-up schedule going so we know how many in each 
session, so we can double sessions if required. (I need to get my haggis and 
black pudding in Amsterdam before I leave for congress, so I'd like to know 
how many participants)

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
