Looking for some diagrams on brewing process
« on: October 18, 2011, 03:22:31 pm »
Before I try to "reinvent the wheel", as they say, I'm looking for some brewing process graphics to use as for the upcoming "Learn to homebrew" event.

I'd like to have one set that represents the professional brewing process and another that represents home brewing version. Nothing  overly complex/detailed. Something like this (professional view):


I've googled and have a lot of raw material, but thought I would ask if there has been any that other clubs created that I could use.

In addition, as we would have brewing demo's and workshops, to use that graphic as a base to show "you are here" in the process as the brewing demo progressed throughout the day; and at specific presentations/workshops on brewing topics.

I have not found anything on the AHA site, but may be overlooking it.

Hi Beerrat,
Our club just finished participating in a brewfest that included a brewing demo by the club. This is the 1st time we have done this and I have been thinking along the same lines
as you of having a flow chart of the process for future events so we can engage the viewers more in what we are doing.  I love your idea of "you are here"!
I'm going to work on something and see what I can come up with....it will probably be after the holidays before I can devote
much time to it, but please post anymore ideas you may have. I'm sure we can come up with something that would be a great
visual aid at brewing demos.
Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback.  I like the "miracle happens" slide lol!


I used this slide as the process overview.  We had 4 presentations during the day.  One overview of the end to end process, and then drill downs into the 3 segments (brew day, fermentation, package/serve).  Here is the slide we used for overview and "you are here" reference point for each of the presentations.  Nothing fancy.

These will continue to evolve, but wanted to share.

Here is a good interactive process online -

Don't know if these will help but here is the link to the beginner course that I teach for the Barons.  There are three PDFs there that you're welcome to reference.  I can email you the PowerPoints directly if needed.
