点评:Received a Stewart Brewing self brew experience as a gift voucher for my 60th Birthday from some close friends who know I love good beer so here was an opportunity to make my own.
We were placed in the safe hands of Etienne for our Brewing experience, no previous knowledge required as it is all explained from the role of the four key ingredients through the tasting and Brewing process. We all learned a great deal about the influences each element plays and how to taylor a beer you want to enjoy.
A few things to note, think in advance of what you like and want you produce, sample a few of their own beers over a pizza in the kitchen before starting your experience as it will help to taylor the brew you want to produce IPAs, lager, pilsner, wheat, dark, stout, light, heavy, are all possible if you know what you want.
Also I was booked in for a half batch but for around £50 more you can easily upgrade for a full batch (around 144 bottles). This option let's you produce two different flavour or variations of your final brew for little difference.
All going well we will be back to bottle up in several weeks and then know what my two brews taste like but all in all a great afternoon out with family.(or friends limited to 4 max in your group).
翻译:在我60岁生日时,几位好友送了我一张Stewart Brewing自酿啤酒体验券作为礼物。他们知道我热爱啤酒,所以这对我来说是一个难得的机会。
我们的酿造体验由Etienne全程指导,无需任何啤酒知识,他会从四种关键原料的作用讲解到品尝和酿造过程,全程讲解清晰易懂。我们都学到了很多关于每种原料的影响以及如何调制出自己喜欢的啤酒的知识。
需要注意的是,最好提前想好自己喜欢什么口味,想要酿造什么样的啤酒。在体验开始前,可以先在厨房一边吃披萨一边品尝他们自酿的啤酒,这有助于你更好地调制自己想要的啤酒。IPA、拉格、皮尔森、小麦啤酒、黑啤、世涛、淡啤、浓啤,只要你清楚自己想要什么,都可以尝试。
另外,我预订的是半批啤酒,但只需额外支付大约50英镑,就可以升级到整批(大约144瓶)。这种方式可以让你酿造出两种不同口味或风味的啤酒,而且差别不大。
一切顺利的话,几周后我们就能回来装瓶了,到时候就能知道这两种啤酒的味道了。总而言之,和家人(或最多四位朋友)一起度过了一个美好的下午。
