Central Michigan University is putting the final touches on a certificate program in fermentation science​. It's slated to start in the fall of 2015 and teach students all they need to know about brewing beer. It would be the first such program in the state.

Is @Everlong the teacher?

That's awesome! I'd have been all about that in college. Still would be, actually.

10/10 would definitely study

Sounds awesome. I'd love to give making my own beer a go.

It's really not difficult! Find a local homebrew store and get yourself set up. The initial investment is a little bit pricey but it pays itself off fairly quickly in terms of how much you save on beer. After three batches you've already basically started saving.

There are tons of great resources online for getting started with homebrewing so if you're ever interested in getting started let me know and I can help you out.

This all reminds me of my grandad. He never made his own beer but he used to make his own wine. I remember he would have this big arse device in his garden shed that would squash the grapes. He always had huge bottles of win stored in there as well and would only drink the wine he made.

Make sure you get it right.

I tried to make my own alcoholic ginger beer once and it was a fucking disaster. It's probably up there with some of the all-time worst things mankind has ever created, closely behind the atomic bomb and the Chernobyl Power Plant.
