Day One

Today was the first day of class. Imagine 8 hours of learning about barley structure, barley evaluation and steeping. There is a lot of information and a lot of studying to do. All of my class mates are all really nice, it seems I’m one of the more experienced people here. There are a lot of home brewers and people looking to make career changes. With a class size of over 40 it was bigger than expected but that number will slowly get smaller as people leave for work or family, we have students from all over the world including Tunisa, Columbia, Germany, Russia. Every Friday we will have an hour long quiz of the weeks lessons. We are also going on a few field trips to briess and a few local breweries. Come lunch time and one classes are over we tend to hang around the “bier stube” (the school bar) and we talk about the days class and anything beer.
