Brewing It Old School

Check out Ryan Urban's blog post about a weekend brewing apprenticeship at Old World Wisconsin where he brewed some beer using only the best 19th century farmhouse techniques and equipment.

I volunteered at Old World Wisconsin, a Pioneer Village-style museum situated on 600 acres in southern Wisconsin near Eagle. My job–a 19th century brewer of beer.

I have brewed my own beer at home for many years, so brewing beer the old-fashioned way was easy for me to pick up. The process is the same as I do at home, just without the conveniences of propane and electricity.
