Yeast Class Lecture & Tasting

Brewers make wort. Yeast make beer.
Our yeast class and accompanying tasting will delve deeply into the world of everyones favorite microorganism.

The yeast lecture will cover.

- A history of yeast as it pertains to brewing and home brewers.

- Yeast Nutrition, growth and chemical pathways that effect home brewers.

- How to choose and maintain a happy yeast culture in your home brew and how strain selection impacts beer flavor.

- Pitching rates, Propagation, starters, collection (top and bottom cropping) storage.

- We’ll discuss the changes in Yeast cultures over generations and how home brewers rinse & clean yeast to repitch.

 Tasting

During the second half of the class we’ll conduct a tasting experiment
to identify flavor differences between yeast strains under ideal
fermentation conditions. Bitter & Esters took a large batch of beer
and Separated it into eight fermenters. We then pitched a different
yeast into each fermenter. The samples that we will taste and discuss

The yeast class will be broken into two sections, Lecture &
Tasting. Tickets can be purchased for either lecture + Tasting or only
for the tasting session.

Each ticket type can optionally include A copy of “Yeast: The Practical
Guide to Beer Fermentation” (our unofficial textbook) at a discounted
price. Space for this class is limited and it will sell out, therefore
all sales for this class will be final.
