BeerSchool

BeerLab's BeerSchool runs Partial Mash (Beginner) classes. Classes are presented by Lynnae Endersby - founder of BeerLab.

All our classes are hands-on, with students making their very own batches of beer that they take home at the end of the session to ferment and bottle. We're passionate about making amazing beer and want to get the world brewing.

 

Classes

Partial Mash (Beginner)

Designed specifically for new brewers or those who want to venture beyond kit-brewing and start experimenting with specialty grains and hops. We start out with some theory and then move into the lab to begin brewing. Each team of students make their own batch of beer which they take home. In addition we'll teach you about bottling with a priming solution. Typical class duration is 4.5 - 5 hours. This is a one day class.

Custom lessons

We offer custom BeerSchool classes for smaller groups on any day of the week. One on one classes can also be arranged. These can be Partial mash or All Grain sessions. Please contact lynnae@beerlab.co.za for more info

Location

Classes are held out our shop premises in Ndabeni. Our brewing kitchen is able to accommodate a maximum of 8 students and there is a dedicated lecture room upstairs. Although our classes are smaller we are able to provide students with more personal and hands on experience than ever. 

Equipment

We have 4 stations, each designed for 2 students each.

Each student takes between 10 and 9 Liters of their very own beer home to ferment and bottle.

You will need to bring along your own fermenter to take your beer home in. A fermenter can also be purchased at our shop on the day of the course (See our website under 'fermenters'. To bottle your beer a capping machine and hydrometer combo is available to rent in store if you do not own one (this is only needed two weeks after fermentation). 

*we unfortunately do not offer a bottling service to bottle and courier your beer to you.

Each station has: 

In additionally the students have access to washing up facilities, tea, coffee and a few beers to enjoy while brewing.
