MakeHaven hosts a home brewing community.
Join the next community brewing session to learn the craft, enjoy tasting and connect with other brewing enthusiasts. No experience necessary. Check Slack #brewing and makehaven.org/events for upcoming activities.
There are 2 badges associated with the homebrewing: the master brewer badge for those who can operate the HERMS setup, and the brewing community badge, which allows the maker access the homebrew tasting tap key.
