SCA Brewing Skills Foundation (Internationally certified)
Details
SCA Brewing Skills Foundation is designed to introduce the novice to the core skills and equipment required to produce great brewed coffee. After a little theory on the seven key essentials to brewing, students get their hands on a variety of different brewing equipment to test their skills and taste some great coffees.
They will be shown the correct procedures to get the best out of different brewing equipment from manual and automatic gravity, hybrid and immersion devices. No prior knowledge is needed before taking this module.
