Beer Making Experience Days: Head to one of the many fantastic Brewhouse and Kitchen venues
for a full day brewery experience - a brilliant behind-the-scenes
introduction to the process of brewing the sweet amber nectar!
The day kicks off at ten am with a drink - but not an alcoholic one
just yet! You'll have a cuppa and an introduction to the day, and
then it's time to get to work with the first stage of the process;
mashing in.
This is where the milled grains are mixed in a mash tun
with water and heated up.
When you've got the mash in started,
you'll have a bacon butty and beer tasting break while the
professional brewer explains the chemical process that's happening
in the mash tun, and begins advising you on the different beer and
ale types brewed here.
Next up is the transfer, the re-circ and
sparging - by which point you'll probably be getting fairly hungry,
so it's time to break for lunch, and.
.
.
yep, you guessed it, another
beer - we think you've earned yourself a pint by now! After lunch
you'll start the boil, adding hops and kettle finings to the
mixture.
Every part of the process will be explained to you as you
get to it, so you'll have a really thorough understanding of
brewing by five o' clock, when you'll have done the clean up and be
ready to head home.
.
.
or back into the pub for another
well-deserved pint! Upon leaving, all participants will receive a certificate and a
5L mini-keg of brewed beer (valued at £25) to take away on the
day.
If you're a beer lover and want to know more about how the stuff is
actually made, or you're looking for a great gift for someone who
appreciates a nice, cold, crisp pint of beer or 6, this full day
brewery experience is one of our top experience gifts!
