Brew Shop
The Fermentation shop began as a beer brewing crew and has now morphed into a general Fermentation group where we collectively make tasty fermented beverages and foods.
We meet up on the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday each month during the Lowell Makes open house, and occasionally run extra brew meetups to make delicious fermented goodies.
Join us and let's make something tasty!
Our current specialties:
- Beer: both full grain and extract brewing
- Mead: a fermented honey-wine.
- Cider: fermented apple-based beverages
- Seltzer/Soda: Not everything has to be alcoholic!
- Whatever YOU can make!
The brew shop is always looking for volunteers and subject matter experts to run events and classes for other things not currently covered. We would love to make wine, kombucha, makgeolli, sake, kimchi, pickles, sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir, cheese, etc. If it's fermented, we want in!
