Known under many different names in different religions, some know it as Brewvana, Brewhalla, or Brewnah, that seemingly mythical celestial plain we to which we all wish to ascend. Who knew it was in Upper Hutt.

Once I've got my shed fully up and going (should be by the end of this month) I'd be happy to have people round for a brew day in Auckland.

This post is 2 years old so you may already have progressed from here.

If you are interested in homebrewing courses in Auckland look out for the one being held at the Hallertau brewery which runs for 5 days and is absolutely awesome.

You get answers to the questions that will turn you into a pro like;

What are the 4 parameters that are in the control of the brewer and how to optimise each paramenter. Get any of these wrong and you will have inconsistent beer and flavour faults.
Beer is a food and like all food subject to deterioration. Learn how to minimise this efect.
Learn about the 2 most important things which affect your beer quality, and are just as important to the homebrewer as to the professional brewer.
Learn how to identify beer faults and what to do about them. How do you access your beer in terms of flavour?
Why is equipment design important? I'll show you how to design your home brewery to optimise your flavour and consistency.
What about the ingredients? These deteriorate as well and it is important you can assess raw materials quality in order for you to avoid making bad beer.
To filter or not to filter beer. Does it really take out flavour. Know when to filter beer and how to do it properly.
Should you use preservatives? A balanced view of this often misunderstood subject.

These are some of the topics covered.

As one home brewer said;

" I recommend doing one of these courses, I did the 5 day Advanced Course in Sydney last year. Then I got Champion Brewer at the Castle Hill Comp after applying what I had learnt from the course into my brewing. Vince is a top guy too "
