Course
To beer or not to beer
Beer or no beer, that is the question. Hobby brewing has gained much interest due to the availability of ready-to-use kits, ingredients and small equipment. However, the scale of equipment remains small, as larger equipment requires a larger investment. This is why BioWAVE and the Engineers of Tomorrow ecosystem are joining forces to offer a hands-on brewing course that will immerse you in the wonderful world of brewing. You will gain extensive theoretical knowledge about brewing, which will then be put into practice. The course covers everything from designing the recipe to bottling the beer. At the end of the course, you will take home your own beer!
