Homebrewing 302: Advanced All-Grain – Step Mashing – Video Course

This Northern Brewer University online video course introduces homebrewers to the advanced all-grain technique of step mashing, sometimes referred to as temperature step mashing or multiple step mashing. In a step mash, the temperature of the mash is raised to achieve multiple temperature rests; this utilizes enzymes in a way that is much different than the more typical single-infusion mash.

Instructor Brad Segall explains how it works and for which recipes the method is most appropriate. See the complete process as he demonstrates how to preform a step mash using a cooler as a mash tun and using a kettle with false bottom as a mash tun.

Note: This course is an advanced all-grain class. If you are brand new to all-grain brewing, you might be interested in Homebrewing 301: Homebrewing the All-Grain Way as an introduction or prerequisite to this step mashing course.

Total running time: approx. 29 minutes plus quizzes and supplemental reading. Once you have purchased this course, you may watch it as many times as you like.
