TICKETS NOW ON SALE
The Queensland Homebrewing Conference has made two big announcements this week, with
tickets going on sale and a major speaker announced.
The speaker, Chris White, President of Whitelabs Yeasts, has agreed to cross the pond and present about yeast. Chris has spoken a number of times in Australia and has always been very well received. Chris has worked with yeasts his entire life, with a PhD in biochemistry and he is a member of the Seibel Institute teaching faculty.
Chris started Whitelabs in 1995 and has seen it grow into one of the major liquid yeast suppliers in the brewing world. With a range of hundreds of pitchable, pure strain yeasts covering beer, wine and distilling, Whitelabs is a major force in the home brewing industry worldwide.
Chris is also the author of the authoritative book on yeast in brewing,
Yeast: The Practical Guide to Beer Fermentation.
Other presenters include Brad Rogers (Stone & Wood), Jaron Mitchell (4 Pines Brewery) and a host of other product specialists from Bintani Malts, Hop Products Australia and a bunch of great local home brewers. Kevin Longhurst (QldKev) will be presenting on growing your own hops, and Andrew Clark, Champion Qld Brewer (2008,09) will be talking on the new Beersmith 2 software (with some giveaways, as well)
We also have the results of a 4-way Mash Systems war, being run by BABBS. The final beers will get judged at the Conference and results announced AFTER the participants present their session.
The conference will be held in Brisbane on Nov 5 2011 at the Southbank Institute of Technology.
