BEER

From Grain to Glass — Traditional Brewing at Home Scale

This is not a commercial-scale setup — just a working, rural kitchen where beer is brewed from scratch, the old way.

Michael demonstrates the process from malting grain to fermenting, bottling, and ageing, using simple tools and time-tested methods. Guests are invited to observe, ask questions, and taste from previous batches.
We brew using Indian barley.

What You'll See (and Taste)

- Malting and mashing
- Boiling and adding hops
- Cooling, fermentation, and bottling
- Understanding natural carbonation
- A discussion of yeasts, sugars, and timing

“It’s a quiet science — one that rewards patience, cleanliness, and care.”

This is a demonstration, not a full brewing course, but guests leave with a clear sense of how it works — and a glass in hand.

For those interested in a more in-depth learning with a view to making some at home, we offer a
1 day course
