Class schedule to be determined by speed of material acquisition. I would like to hold first class in December. Full fermentation (first boil to first beer) is about 6-8 weeks.


It consists of a lot of boiling and since we haven't tried it on this stove before... may be upwards of 3 hours long. Bring something to keep yourself entertained in the meantime (like a great book, some home brew you've already made, or your latest project).

    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq322.htm Funnel]
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq242.htm Nylon steeping bag] OR [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq243.htm Cloth sleeve]
    * Two Rubber Stoppers - not sure of the size, I can figure this out when we get the carboy secured
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq230.htm Airlocks] 2 of em
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq329.htm Siphon Hose] 8 feet
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq319.htm Bottle Filler]
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq318.htm Bottle Brush]
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq317.htm Bottle washer]
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq217.htm Carboy Brush]
    * [http://www.mrbeer.com/product-exec/product_id/78/nm/Hand_Bottle_Capper Hand Bottle Capper]

    * Glass bottles to hold 5 gallons of beer... approximately 60x 12 ounce bottles.
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq211.htm 5 gallon] (the larger the better) brewpot WITH LID for making the wort in its initial phases
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq233.htm Plastic spoon] for stirring wort whilst making the tea
    * [http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/product_p/eq225.htm Nice thermometer] needs to go 200+ degrees Fahrenheit, with an attachment for attaching to side of brewpot
This is materials for a 5 gallon batch of beer, which yields about 4.75 usable gallons. The only thing needed for more beer (or beer to be brewed more often) is the ingredients and more carboys and bottles, all of which is highly modular and can be acquired as necessary.
