Teaching a non-credit course

[troutman35]

So I created a non-credit course at the community college I work at (I'm the assistant bursar). Called it Homebrewing for the Brilliant. Teaching 2 nights, 2 hours each. Could have easily made it 2 3 hour nights as I found out my first night. It's my first time teaching and I'm having a ball! I have 16 students and they are having fun. It's an intro course and I introduced them to extract brewing last night. I'm digging it! Here a picture from last night

Quicky summary on your planned curriculum?
Gonna do a Brew Day, for instance? Field trip to a brewery?

Cheers!

You have to brew a batch with the class!!!

I hope you use actual ingredients for "visual aids," not just PP.

+10 on having a brew day to show how it's done.

I think it's awesome that you worked "RDWHAHB" into one of the introductory slides :rockin:

First night I covered equipment, sanitation, a lot of basic stuff, and got through the process of making an extract. Brought in some samples for everyone to try.

This week I am covering bottling and moving on to partial mash, BIAB and intro to sparge batch brewing. Couldn't get the kitchen this time. Hopefully next time. RDWHAHB was on every slide Here's a link to the course
