Existing presentations for homebrewing lunch and learn?

[Dr_Horrible]

Friends,

Because I can, I decided to do a lunch and learn at my work on "getting started with homebrewing". I plan to discuss the basic overall concepts, equipment, very basic chemistry behind the process, and doing your first extract recipe. I'll probably touch on minimash and all-grain, but I'll only have a limited time after all.

I thought I'd come ask y'all if by chance there is something out there I can already utilize for my presentation? Existing materials or anything? Note I'm doing this for fun at work, and it's not for profit in any way, if that impacts anything.

Otherwise I'll probably grab some images online and throw something together myself. I'll try and remember to post it here for others to use in the future for something similar.

Go to slide share, search home brewing, take your pick

How much time do you have? I used home brewing for a 5 minute speech for Public Presentation class at work. The 5 minutes was barely enough time to touch on the high levels of extract brewing. I felt I needed about 15 minutes to really get a good overview. Good luck!

Cool tip about slide share, never heard of that before.

I have probably 45 minutes to talk, could push it to an hour. May actually be too much time! I'm sure I'll get questions, and maybe we'll just try some beer to stretch the time

Keep it really simple and down to basics. No chemistry or formulas, or complicated diagrams, it turns many people off.

I took "the tour" at DFH 2 weeks ago, and the tour guide went through 15 minutes of useless info and historical tid bits without even touching on the basic beer making process. Not everyone knows that beer is made from grain! Hops are boiled and added for bitterness, spoilage protection, and flavor. Yeast is used for fermentation. Etc.

Ah, samples of grains, hops, some yeast and maybe a jug of a small batch fermenting, airlock and all, are great visual aids. I'd leave at least 15 minutes for Q&A and discussion.

Good tips, thanks!
