HALF BATCHES!
You will get to brew and bottle two cases of craft beer with the help of one of our Brewmasters! Batch prices range from $120-$140. Price includes: Brewing class, 48-12oz bottes of beer, bottles, caps and boxes. No need to rinse and store your used bottles.(12oz. bottles are not designed to be reused. Please recycle!) Any of our past or current recipes can be done in this smaller batch size. This will be a more managable amount of beer for most people. Limit of 3 people per batch. Of course you may brew the batches that you have always done in the past and make 72 – 22oz reusable bottles.
Step 1 – Choose Your Beer
Once you’ve picked out your brew from over 50 choices, one of our knowledgeable Brew Coaches will help get you started explaining the ingredients and equipment.
Step 2 – Add Malted Barley Extracts
The first ingredient you’ll measure and add is malted barley extracts. You’ll add at least two pitchers of extract to the kettle.
Step 3 – Add Hops
The second main ingredient you’ll measure and add is hops. Hops provide the spice of the beer to even out the sweetness from the malt extracts.
Step 4 – The Boil
Once your malt extracts and hops have been measured and added, your brew will boil for about an hour. Brewers will have the opportunity to use that time for “research and development” across the street with our good friends at Bennett’s Chop and Railhouse.
Step 5 – Add Yeast
Once your malt extracts and hops have been measured and added, your brew will boil for about an hour. Brewers will have the opportunity to use that time for “research and development” across the street with our good friends at Bennett’s Chop and Railhouse.
Step 6 – Fermentation Time
During those two weeks, we will monitor and care for your beer while it ferments and cold ages.
Step 7 – Prepare for Bottling
After those two weeks, you’ll be back to bottle your brew. Many people order a pizza or bring in chips and dips or anything else you’d like.
Step 8 – Bottling
Your brew will be set up on one of our bottling stations where you will fill, cap, and sample your beer.
Step 9 – Sampling
Did we mention sample? On bottling day your beer is cold, carbonated, and ready to sample!
Step 10 – Take Your Beer Home
Finally, (and maybe best of all) Vine Park staff will take care of all the clean-up! You get to do all the fun stuff, while we take care of the details, work, and clean up!
