Lets make up a batch of hackbrew while learning the process involved. This will be a one-day session where a number of batches of home-brewed beer (some ale and some lager) will be made. The beer will need to be racked 1 week later and bottled 1 week after that. We are planning on building a 'brew station' where all the equipment can be stored and brews can be easily be made.
