Hi Max,

Yes there were fourteen of us from all over NZ on the course. Three or four from this forum. Attendees ranged from some who had never even brewed before to experienced all grain brewers. I throughly enjoyed the course and there was plenty there for everyone. Certainly good value for a five day course. I particulary enjoyed the brew day as I was interested in the differences between home scale and commercial scale brewing. Same techniques but different equipment and chemicals. I would definitely recommend the course and I think most, if not all of those who attended would do the same.

Made some good contacts and friends too :-)

Pete.

Hi KC,

Welcome to Wangavegas. Give me a call sometime, I'm in the Wanganui phone book.

We have a SOBA meeting 7 pm on the first Tuesday of every month at The Rutland Arms.

Cheers

Peter Northway.

Hi Pilgrim

I'm guessing you're off to the 4 day course, as you attended the last course do you expect the next one to add to what you've learnt / be different in content etc?

Don't have the time for 4 days at the minute but was thinking the one dayer might be interesting to get a feel for what he has to offer

Be interested in your thoughts

regards

Laurie

Hi Laurie,

No I won't be going on the 4 day course, still conolidating what I learned on the one last year.

Regards

Pete.

Hey Aldee,

Did you end up going on the one day course?

If so I'd be interested to hear your feedback.

Cheers
