March Meeting: Making Better Beer: Lessons from Home Brewers Who Went Pro at Crafty Robot

Crafty Robot Brewery – Wednesday 18 March

What really makes the difference between a good beer and a great one?

For this month’s South Australian Brewing Club meeting, we’ll be joined by two brewers many of us already know well as members of our club — Nate Warnock and Michael Rowley — who began as home brewers and are now brewing professionally in Adelaide.

Having made the transition from home brewing to craft breweries, Nat and Michael bring a unique perspective on the brewing process and which parts truly matter most when it comes to improving the quality of our beer.

We’ll walk through the brewing process step-by-step—from preparation and cleaning through mash, sparging, boiling, cooling, fermentation and conditioning—giving members the opportunity to ask questions, compare approaches, and learn which practices really improve beer quality and which things home brewers may worry about more than necessary.

It should be a relaxed night of brewing conversation, practical insights, and plenty of opportunity to pick the brains of two brewers who have successfully made the leap from home brewing to professional brewing.

From 7pm. Food might not be available but Uber Eats is welcome
