Home of the BrewNosers

Hi everyone, I’m new here. I found this group while searching for information about learning brewing and starting a career in brewing. Could you please share your experience and recommend any places or institutes that helped you learn? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the group! I can’t speak for career building, but for homebrewing I found the book “How to Brew” by John Palmer to be very helpful when first starting out. Try to be patient while you’re learning how it all works as it can be a lot of work and frustrating at times. You will find better and easier ways of doing things over time and get to a point where you enjoy the process. It can be very rewarding!

Thank you very much. I truly appreciate your response

The forum isn't nearly as active as it used to be but there is a lot of information buried in here. I learned a lot just lurking the site in the beginning. Podcasts like the Brewing Network (especially the older ones), Brewsmith podcast, Brulosophy podcast, Experimental Brewing podcast were helpful for me. And of course Youtube.

Brewnosers used to meet once per month to share their beer for feedback, discuss brewing techniques etc but sadly the trend in home brewing in general is going away from that.

Thank you so much and really help your reply and appreciate it

Check out the American Brewers Guild or UC Davis if you're in the US—their programs gave me the hands-on start I needed to land my first brewery job.
