Want to advance your homebrewing knowledge? Thinking of taking your brewing to a professional level? Join The Brewmistress and Jake Sandenbergh, head brewer at Afro Caribbean Brewing Company, for a one-day intermediate brewing course in Cape Town.

Brewing Beyond the Basics covers every step of the brewing process, with a live brew-day and input sessions on how to get the most from your malt, hops, water and yeast. Each stage will be explored in-depth, with troubleshooting tips and information on different methods of mashing, sparging and cooling, yeast management, plus tips on bottling and kegging.

The day ends with an introduction to the BJCP, including a tasting session and a look at off-flavours and brew troubleshooting with Advanced Cicerone, Lucy Corne (yes, me!).

Price: R980 per person (including lunch and a beer)
