Beer Education - A Blog Series

[Bender_Braus_Brewing]

For my blog at The Beer Thrillers (https://thebeerthrillers.home.blog ) I am currently doing an online brewing course through EDX Online. As I take the classes, I am also blogging it. So far I'm up to Module 4 (out of 9). So I thought I'd post it here, and see if anyone else has taken the course or is taking the course, or just wants to read and tag along.

The final module. My beer education series wrap-up will be up shortly, and that is it for the beer education series and that MOOC. For those interested, it was: EdX's The Science of Beer Brewing. Pretty informative. I would recommend it.

Can you give an overall takeaway? I was just looking at this course and I'm curious if you found it useful and what level of brewer you think it's targeted for.

I go over that a bit on my blog for the overview section. I found it useful, I definitely don't think its targeted for someone already in the industry. But I think anyone from beginning homebrewer to intermediate home brewer will get something out of it.

Thank you for posting this! I glanced at your blog and for sure want to go through and check it out. I have bookmarked it.

Will this be up indefinitely or is it only up for a certain amount of time?

My blog is up indefinitely. The course... I'm not 100% certain on, but I think it'll be up for a while. Its a 'do it at your own pace' course, so I think it should be up a while.
