The first week.

The first week is a day away and I am completely blown away. We have spent the entire first 3 days, 21 hours in the classroom learning about nothing but barley and the process of changing it to malt. Its amazing. The classroom is literally inside Goose Island and the walls of its classrooms are amazing. Hopefully theres a little room for me.


On its walls are many a great brewer, see anyone familiar?




Today we started with hops, and a little "hop rub". 7 varieties, along with 2 different kinds of pellet hops. Very cool.


Well a test tomorrow and I'm off to study. Wish me luck, I'll need it.
